Privacy & tranquility at Beauty on the Beach, Beachfront!

Stunning location and house. The house was very comfortable with a large group, with plenty of seating inside and out. Very well-maintained. Loved having the extra TV/ping pong table room (kids could sprawl their toys out during the day and we could use it during the evenings and not worry about waking up the kids). We spent hours on the beach, swimming, kayaking everyday. The water stays shallow for quite a distance. The one negative is the lack of beach on the house’s property. During our stay, even during low tide, the water went all the way to the rocks and steps. Thankfully, the neighbors saw us struggling to carry our kids and chairs down and insisted we use their beach access and also let us park ourselves on the beach that was technically on their property. I might hesitate to rent again for that reason, but would probably risk it again. There is not far to walk on the beach, but it is an incredible, quiet location with so much wildlife and a marsh nearby. Loved watching the many species of crabs and herons and incredible sunsets.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family has stayed at Beauty on the Beach several times. It is a great family rental, lots of comfortable space to enjoy for everyone, kids and adults. We have always found the house to be clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils, etc. The beach is a good walk at low tide and there's also a public entrance at the end of Picketts Harbor Rd to a much longer beach for walking. The house is close to Cape Charles where there are nice shops and a wonderful bakery, The Mason St. Bakery and a great ice cream shop, The Brown Dog (seasonal) as well as several restaurants. The Hook and Harvey restaurant is very special, by reservation only, small and sophisticated yet local and friendly. $$$. More casual and good food and alcohol is AJ's Bar and Grill, The Shanty, Cape Charles Brewing, The Beach Market, Deadrise Italian Kitchen and others.$$Only one recommendation for this property: the downstairs master shower has a shower head that is not only difficult to adjust but puts out very little water, definitely not enough to wash your hair. A replacement would make it perfect!

We had a great stay at this property! It was the perfect house for multiple families. We had 3 families with 6 kids under 5. Everyone had their own space and it was easy to spread out. The location on the water was great and the outdoor space was perfect. We loved the wood burning and gas fireplace options. The outdoor furniture was comfortable and really good quality. It did not feel like a cheap rental property space at all. The kitchen was fully stocked with so many things and the house felt very homey. An added bonus was the blinds in every room that made it really dark and great for kids not waking up at sunrise. The movie/play room was awesome for the kids too. Only complaint was there were A LOT of fruit flies that were really difficult to keep out of the kitchen. This is likely just due to the location on the bay/time of year and was not a cleanliness issue of the house at all, however it was annoying. Overall the house was amazing and we would definitely rent again!

I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the single most beautiful place I have ever stayed in. Everything was even better than we expected. The rooms are so big and the common places luminous and cozy. The house was super clean, the kitchen well stocked, the barbecue and fire pits worked well. Communication with the host was easy and efficient. The backyard is the stuff of dreams and the private beach simply makes you feel like you live on your own private island. I cannot recommend this place enough, I’m already thinking of going back. And don’t get me started on the sunsets ! 11/10, worth every penny.

Highly enjoyed our time at this well appointed property! The kitchen had everything you could need, the game room was a hit, and the kids loved their own room together. Couldn’t beat the firepit at night and the sound system that allowed for some family dance parties during the most incredible sunsets. What a lovely place to wait out Hurricane Debby (and much better weather than we could have hoped for during a hurricane week)!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay and really loved the location of this house. It was perfect for small kids and multiple families. We loved that the house was steps away from the beach which allowed us to back anytime for lunches and naps without having to pack up a car or golf cart. The property is very secluded with only one house in view and we had our beach to ourselves the whole week. The beach was beautiful and we found so many sandbars to sit our chairs in the water and float around. The house was beautiful but had some wear and tear. We had issues with certain things working. Half the house didn't have hot water even after maintenance came, so we had to share showers. We couldn't get the gas fireplace to work, and certain rooms would get really warm even though we had air on. The house could have been cleaned better. When we arrived, ledges were dusty and had dead bugs, fingerprints were on the windows, a hair clip was left in one shower, couch cover had stains, bottom of garbage can was gross, etc. The house could benefit from a good deep clean and I know it's mid season, but for the price and the fees we paid, it should have been spotless. Overall we really had a great stay and I would recommend this property because of its location, its beach, and its views.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As the title of this review implies, this house and location has been the perfect retreat for our family for the past three summers. The private beach and large backyard is perfect for grandchildren learning how to swim and fly kites. The owner has not slacked off with the level of quality and upkeep. Everything from the appliances, furniture, grill, entertainment system, landscaping, etc. has been maintained to a first-class level. We had perfect weather and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and sunsets.

This was our family's second visit, requested by the grandkids. The house is in a great location, we enjoyed the beach and time in Cape Charles looking in shops, eating and having delicious ice cream at The Brown Dog ice cream store. The media room is great for family activities, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable.

The house is warm and welcoming and oh so easy to relax into. The location is great and it's about a ten minute drive into Cape Charles. The sitting area down by the shore is a lovely place to watch the waves and the birds. The beach is available at low tide and the tide tables are easy to look up. Walking on the beach is best a couple of hours before low tide and a couple of hours after.
