This Cape Charles family retreat is the perfect place for your family -- or even 2 or more families to vacation together!

Renovated in 2021, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is in the beautiful gated Colony community of Bay Creek -- and provides ample space for those who want to hang out together... or for those who need some quiet time. The Strand offers free access to two 6-passenger golf carts, stand-up paddle boards and other beach gear, propane grills, and rainy day activities like pool/billiards, ping pong, indoor shuffleboard, and more!

The Strand's beds comfortably sleep 12 people with an extra pullout couch in the crow's nest if needed. Bedding and towels are provided. A Pack'n'Play is also available for your use.

BEDS/BATHS: Located on the 1st floor, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, smart TV, walk-in closet, and sliding doors leading out to the 1st floor deck. The large private master bath has a roomy double-head walk-in shower with bench, soaking tub, and plenty of lighting. The 2nd bedroom on the 1st floor has a queen-size bed, smart TV, and 4-piece ensuite bathroom; the bedroom also has sliding doors to the 1st floor deck. On the 2nd floor, you'll find two more bedrooms (one with two double beds and one with two single beds and one double bed), smart TVs in each bedroom, and another 4-piece bath.

KITCHEN/DINING: On the 2nd floor, the home boasts a modern, well-equipped kitchen with all new appliances -- it's a vacationing chef’s dream! There is a Keurig, as well as a drip coffee maker. The dining room has an 8-seat table, perfect for eating, playing boardgames, and putting together puzzles. There are also 5 barstools for additional seating plus a high chair for our youngest guests.

LIVING ROOM: With sliding door access to a huge deck, the living room is a fabulous common space. Here you will find a smart TV, gas fireplace, pool table, indoor shuffleboard, and amazingly comfortable couches where you can curl up and binge your favorite shows and movies.

CROW'S NEST: The 3rd floor is a perfect hideaway for teens, couples, or others who want to enjoy a separate - but nearby - space. The aforementioned wine fridge and wet bar, as well as a smart TV and sleeper sofa, are up here. There is also a small deck with chairs and an umbrella -- and views of the Chesapeake Bay.

OUTDOOR SPACE: This vacation rental has 3 decks with ample tables and outdoor seating, wood firepit, propane grill, corn hole, paddle boards, cooler, and beach umbrellas and chairs for your use. There is also a ping pong table in one of the garages. Guests can also use the Bay Creek Community outdoor pool and tennis /pickleball courts (on the other side of the town - a short golf cart-ride away). We offer two 6-passenger golf carts that can be used during your stay; we require releases / use agreements to be signed by everyone that is going drive them, and drivers must be at least 21 years old with a valid drivers license.

ABOUT THE COMMUNITY: Cape Charles is a golf cart friendly community. You will enjoy touring town with its quaint boutique shops, restaurants, art galleries, theatre, brewery, distillery, and an unspoiled public beach. Enjoy free fishing off the pier, crabbing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, sunset cruises, and deep-sea fishing and boating excursions. Sunsets and happy hour at the Shanty or Oyster Farm (the latter of which is walking distance from the home!) are spectacular. Live music is featured at the C-Pier of Bay Creek Marina, a short walk away or golf cart ride. Drive or walk over to Central Park in the heart of Cape Charles for live evening concerts.

This home is within walking distance of the Kings Creek wedding venue, making it an ideal location for the bridal party as well as wedding guests.

That said, you will need a car to drive 5 minutes out of town to shop at the Food Lion grocery store, where you can stock up on groceries, beverages, and any supplies you may want.

Whatever you’re seeking, without a doubt the beauty and luxury of this home make it the perfect place for family and friends to spread out and unwind. We think once you vacation at the Strand, you'll make this an annual destination. Our only requirements are that you keep your pets at home and that you refrain from smoking and hosting large parties/events at our home.

We look forward to hosting you soon!

    My family had a wonderful stay at The Strand! The home was clean and comfortable. We loved all the amenities such as the pool table and ping pong table. We wished we had more time to use the golf carts but such a nice bonus to have included in the home. We walked down to the beach every night to watch the sunset and the views from the third floor are nice. Hope to return again when the weather is warm to use the other amenities included in your home. Thank you again!

    A perfect beach house for our group of nine, with a bunch of little kids. We loved having the golf carts included with our stay, and the house is super well stocked with beach gear, toys and games. The host was very responsive to a couple of maintenance requests. My only critique is that the cleaners could have been more thorough.

    Our stay at The Strand was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the thoughtful amenities and spacious layout. The home is beautifully renovated and comfortably accommodated our group with room to spare. Each bedroom was cozy and well-appointed, and the master suite felt like a private retreat.The kitchen was a dream—modern, fully stocked, and perfect for cooking meals together. The multiple decks offered peaceful spots to relax, and the crow’s nest was a favorite hangout with its wet bar and views (especially sunsets) of the Chesapeake Bay.The golf carts and paddle boards were a huge hit and made exploring Cape Charles so much fun. We enjoyed the nearby beach, local shops, and restaurants—all just a short ride away. The community pool was also a great bonus.The hosts thought of everything—from beach gear to indoor games like pool and shuffleboard. It truly felt like a luxury home away from home. We’re already planning our next visit and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Cape Charles. Highly recommend The Strand for families or groups looking for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation!

    Our stay was really enjoyable from the house convenient location to the activities in the house. While we spent most of the time at the beach, pool, or riding around in golf carts, we also enjoyed hanging out and playing pool and even doing puzzles at the house. Overall a great vacation we loved being in town but also within bay creek community.

    One of the best VRBOs that we’ve ever stayed at. Clean, spacious with great outdoor spaces, very convenient to the Cape Charles downtown & public beaches and just one and a half blocks from the private beach. There was plenty of things to occupy my husband and me as well as 3 teenage boys. Rich and Stephanie were super quick to provide helpful responses to any questions. You can really feel that they care about their property and want their guests to feel comfortable, relax and enjoy themselves. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you so much, Rich & Stephanie, for a great vacation!

    Had a great time at the strand. Property was immaculate and as advertised. The included golf carts are a huge bonus and it’s nice to not have a hidden $650 “host fee” like most other properties on here. Will be back for sure.

    Location was just a short cart ride from town beaches and town. The home was very clean and in good repair. We enjoyed having the pool table and shuffleboard on the same level as kitchen / dining area so that we could all hanging out together while some were cooking, etc. There were enough spaces to allow someone to find a quiet area for reading or down time. Owner was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend!

    We had a sunny week in Cape Charles. We had two families stay in the house and it was plenty of space. Everything in the house matched the listing. Having access to the Bay creek HOA pool was really nice for some of the super hot days. Golf carts were great and we loved the stand up paddle boards. We loved taking them to the beach for a sunset paddle. We look forward to returning!
