Historic Beach Front Home: Victorian Elegance. Large Rooms with AMAZING bay view

This is our 4th year spending a week at Dryden House, so obviously we’re huge fans. There’s no beating the location, the garage is stocked with plenty of beach gear, and the third floor is the perfect kids zone. We’ll definitely be back next year!

Thanks for such a wonderful week. Not only is this an incredible house that was great for multiple families but it’s the best location in Cape Charles with quick access to the beach and close to everything. Highly recommend!

We've been coming to Cape Charles for 17 years and we've stayed in a lot of homes. This was one of our favorites by far. The house is really spacious and nice but we were also able to feel comfortable in it. Sitting on the porch was one of our favorite things to do. It's super convenient to town and the beach (right across the road). We didn't have to bring a lot of stuff because the garage had everything (bikes, kayaks, chairs, toys). There was an extra refrigerator in the garage. The owners were easy to communicate with, and they didn't have a long, unreasonable list of house rules about using the home or checking out. We loved it and we hope to stay there again.

Wonderful home in idyllic Cape Charles. Extremely well stocked with kitchen items and all household items. Garage full of beach gear. Thanks for the special family vacation!

Week with family enjoying charming Cape Charles. Communication with owners was wonderful! Bedrooms at this home are very spacious and the A/C on the first two floors was excellent! Game room/5th bedroom was a little slower to cool down with the A/C split but it was a great roomy space for kids to sleep and lounge. Huge seating area on the roomy side porch was so great! Kitchen had everything you need ice maker in fridge and smaller unit by coffee area. Stocked with tons of kid friendly cups bowls and plates which was so nice! Access to the garage with extra fridge/freezer and beach toys and chairs and kayaks was awesome! So so easy to pop over to the beach and back for bathroom breaks or to the access ramp to the beach to watch the gorgeous sunsets!We loved being so close to the water and the easy walk or golf cart into town, tennis courts, park, etc.

Incredible location right across the street from the beach entrance and walking distance to the shops in downtown Cape Charles. Lovely roomy historic home for two families with kids to stay in and go back and forth from the beach as needed and have s’mores in the backyard fire pit. Would definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay. Very relaxing weekend, great location & enjoyed a very peaceful getaway.

We had a wonderful long weekend with the family. The location is perfect for walking over to the beach, hoping on the golf cart for town and meals. The grand kids love the third floor bedroom suite and all of the adults had large comfortable bedrooms on the second floor. This was our second time staying here and will rent again. ❤️

The Dryden House was perfect for our group of several old friends and young children. The house's location across the street from the beach couldn't be better. The house itself is a beautiful historic Victorian but with all necessary modern amenities. We really appreciated how well it was stocked with basics like dish soap, detergent, toilet paper, etc., which you often have to buy yourself in rentals like this. We very much hope to return!

Dryden is an amazing location and house. With being steps to the beach, it was incredibly convenient to set up and spend the day at the beach. The house is huge and easily accommodated the whole family. The house also had beach gear, bikes, and other great amenities. Paul was a great host. We can’t wait to go back!

Our trip was absolutely perfect. The house was fabulous right across from the beach with great restaurants and ideal place to take the family for a very relaxing vacation.

Extremely well stocked house with lots of kitchen supplies, board games, and plenty of space for a big family! Very close to the water and excellent location overall. The owners were very easy to book with and communication was great. Absolutely would book again for a large group.
