Leave the car behind and enjoy the best of Cape Charles on foot. This charming coastal cottage is just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Relax on the patio, fire up the grill, and enjoy easy, laid-back beach living. Golf Cart optional.

This one of a kind picturesque historic home is situated perfectly near the beach on the west end of Historic Cape Charles for your family vacation. The house is one block from the family friendly beach and ½ block to the business district with all the shopping and restaurants you could want. Park your car with the unlimited street parking available and you’ll never need to drive again during your stay at this massive retreat originally built in 1913.

Designer decorated with nautical and timeless pieces in a bright and cheerful beach theme. The highlight of the house is its massive wraparound porch where you will spend your mornings sipping coffee and after a full day at the beach your evening happy hours watching the town stroll by. If porches and fresh air aren’t your thing then the newly added rear sun/screen room with views out to the harbor and bay will be your relaxing and socializing hotspot. The warm inviting parlor is perfect for reading, relaxing or visiting. Large farm-style dining room just off the kitchen is suitable for even the largest of family meals and gatherings. Family room has 55 Smart TV with NetFlix and AppleTV. Three large bedrooms and one kids “cabin”. The home is centrally heated and cooled and the bedrooms have remote control celling fans. Two full renovated baths on the second floor and one ½ bath on the main level. Corner lot has large yard for outdoor activities and sundeck and stone patio leading to the garage where you can store your beach gear in the evenings. Optional Golf cart can be included with your stay to scoot around to anywhere you’d ever need to go in town.

    We loved staying at Bay Charles! The location was perfect for walking to town and the beach. And we spent alot of time on the beautiful wrap around front porch and the toddlers loved the back yard to kick a ball around.

    I have stayed in a number of rentals in Cape Charles and this was one of the nicest places! It was very clean and spacious. Of note, the room with the two twin beds would be fine for two small children, it is not quite big enough for two teenagers. The location is fantastic and they were very responsive to the questions we had during the week. I would definitely stay here again!

    We had a great time at the Bay Charles! House was lovely, spacious and very comfortable. Our family gathered every morning in the sunroom or on the back patio for coffee. Front porch was a great alternative spot to relax and/or enjoy a swing on the porch.

    Our family had a wonderful week. The house is nicely renovated and really cute. We were able to squeeze a Pack n Play for our grand baby into the fourth bedroom. We booked again for next year! The golf cart was a fun add on. Location was outstanding: one block away from the beach and Brown Dog ice cream!
