The Purple Pelican is a well-stocked, bright and homey bay house located in the gated community of Bay Creek's Marina Villages. This eastern shore home is only steps away from a private beach where you can relax or go for a dip in the calm waters, perfect for young children--just walk out the back door, through the fenced-in backyard to the convenient beach access across the street. It's such a short distance, you can run back to the house for snacks or bathroom breaks in no time at all. Enjoy the view (especially the sunsets!) of the Chesapeake Bay from one of three decks, while lounging in high-backed chairs, without even leaving the property. The Oyster Farm Seafood Eatery, close to the world-class marina, is only a short walk, bike or golf cart ride where you can enjoy a cocktail or one of the best meals in town. This restaurant has recently been through a rebrand and is a favorite among the community. After dinner, stroll along the dock to check out the boats or saunter down to C-Pier where you can have drinks, catch live music and hang with the locals.

Guests staying at the Purple Pelican have access to Bay Creek amenities, just minutes away by car, bike or golf cart, which includes: a gym, red light sauna, showers, two pools (one with a slide), a volleyball net, corn hole, access to games, books and ping pong, as well as an additional larger private beach. There's a nature preserve with walking/biking/jogging trails, The Coach House Tavern Restaurant is available exclusively to Bay Creek members where you'll have a nice view of the golf course. Bay Creek has planned activities for families and children (trivia night, arts & crafts, etc.). There's also an additional pool and pickleball courts to take advantage of.

This vacation home offers a a 1st floor master suite with a king bed and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower and a large jacuzzi tub. The 2nd floor rooms include two queen bedrooms, each with a balcony, a bunk room that sleeps 4 and a jack-and-jill bathroom. There is also a 3rd floor loft with a wet bar, fridge and TV. For family dining, there's an eat-in kitchen dinette that seats 4 as well as a dining room table that accommodates 7; 3 more can be seated at the three kitchen counter bar stools.

This is the ideal spot for a family vacation. Downtown Cape Charles is golf cart-friendly and only three blocks south of Marina Villages. (TIP: RENT YOUR GOLF CART IMMEDIATELY UPON BOOKING - they go fast!) In town, you'll find quaint shops, art galleries, bakeries and restaurants -- there's always something to do and there's always time to relax. Enjoy!

    6 adults and 4 children ages 3 and younger. First time in Cape Charles. Everyone had a great time. House is very well stocked and great location. Loved having access to pool at Bay Creek. We rented a golf cart for the week and used it to go everywhere. Walked to beach by house which was nice for little ones. Fenced in yard is nice too for little ones. No complaints at all. Plan on returning.

    Great location, clean, comfortable, and complete with everything needed to spend a great vacation. Available Bay Creek Resort facility access is a big plus. Host is very responsive. Highly recommended.

    Our stay at the Purple Pelican was wonderful. We were a party of 8, including 4 children all under the age of 5, and there was plenty of room for us all. The beds were comfortable as was all the furnishings in the home. One of the Bay Creek beaches was in walking distance and the sunset-gorgeous!

    We had 6 adults and 3 children 4 years and under. The house was better than expected! It had everything we needed and most importantly was very clean! Great sunset views and a yard that was fenced for the kids! The location was perfect and everyone in Bay Creek was friendly and helpful! The house is on the Marina side of Bay Creek which made it more accessible to the downtown of Cape Charles. We also were able to use the golf side of Bay Creek which was great- pool, beach, golf and a restaurant that delivers to the pool! All in all a 10! Would highly recommend! Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!

    We really enjoyed another stay at this property. The house has great views of the bay from the back decks. Another plus is the access to the Bay Creek pool with the slide, which our kids love!

    This is our third stay at the purple pelican. We have always had a great stay, and being in Bay Creek is such a huge plus. Great fishing right out the back door for the kids, and the private beach access and life center make the trip. We have never had a major issue, but the owners have been great and responsive dealing with even minor things. cant wait until next summer!

    The house is a home, not a rental asset. You can tell the owner stays there-it is fully and functionally equipped. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Although it is not in the Historic District it is right next to it, a short cart ride from everything. (or walk if you want the exercise) We used to stay in the Historic District, but I got tired of the quaint old houses that needed minor repairs while you stayed in them: like tightening door knobs that were never tight, faucets the didn't shut off, worn out plug receptacles, tripping over uneven floors and stairs. The Purple Pelican is new construction, a pleasant place to enjoy your vacation. The view from the 3rd floor is super.
