Getting Around:
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time in this awesome house that was super close to the beach, Central Park, and all of the restaurants/shops in town. The house was very clean and comfortable and well stocked with anything a visiting group could want. The diner style lunch counter was a super cool feature, too. We can't wait for a second visit next year.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at seagrass. The location is outstanding, and the house was clean and comfortable. The kids enjoyed the 'loft' bedroom and the porch is great. The kitchen setup is quirky, but fun, just be aware there is no large dining table. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: The house looks great in the photos, but it’s even better in person. The ceilings are really high and the porch is fantastic. We loved seeing photos from the renovation in the guest book. It was a great setup for our group, which was two couples with four kids. The convenience of being a block from the beach and having an outdoor shower and back porch for beach gear storage is unmatched. There were several, mostly minor, maintenance issues that should be addressed — for example, a lot of bugs get into the house, probably because the doors and windows are old and some not well sealed. The property management did come and spray while we were there which seemed to help a little, but I’d suggest addressing the gaps where bugs are getting in. The vacuum provided had a dead battery, which management checked but didn’t resolve during our stay. (We were given a broom.) And several of the door handles/latches in the bedrooms don’t turn or close properly. Overall, though, we were very happy with our stay.

    Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is in a nice location. We did have a couple problems with the house. The walls between the duplex are very thin. Expect to hear noise from the neighbors. Also the upstairs shower leaked steadily thru the floor into the kitchen downstairs. The host was very nice and easy to work with.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved that the house was 2 houses away from the beach. Hose was clean. House is fabulous! Fire pit and grill were not cleaned out by previous guests. We only used the grill and my husband cleaned it before and after. All 3 couples had a fabulous time. No pics of the 3rd bedroom -we were kind of sad to find 4 single beds. Only recommendation is to beef up the kitchen utensils and containers.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: My family absolutely loved our stay at Elvamae. The location of this house was perfect! My family was able to easily get two babies to the beach and walk or ride a golf cart into town. The location of this house was our favorite perk! The house itself was super nice! We thought one of the best parts about the house was that each bedroom had a full bathroom. The beds were also super comfortable! Only con to the house is that we didn’t feel the cleaners did a great job cleaning the house. I would stay at this house again! I give it a 9/10 because of the cleaners.

    Best place in the world. In crowded, pristine beach one block away, quiet sidewalks and streets for bicycling, free evening concerts in the park, walkable downtown with interesting shops, good restaurants and a tasteful, comfortable place to stay. What’s not to like????
