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.

    This was by far the best place we have stayed at Cape Charles in our few years of coming here. With little kids, this home is so well thought out- the furniture and decor is sturdy, comfortable, easy to clean, and sensible. The single story living is great because you don't have to worry about stairs with little ones and the front door and back door are excellent access points to get right to the beach which is only a 5 min walk away. The outdoor shower is very large and you can easily hose off kids and beach gear. The house came very well stocked with all the dishes needed to cook and clean, as well as with comfortable bedding and pillows, and moreover, the beach towels were clutch. This saved us so much room in our car not needing to pack these things. With little kids come messes at meals as well and there was everything needed to keep things tidy as well. A hand vacuum and floor vacuum are available and it laundry was a very helpful amenity as well (it did come with laundry pods even though we brought our own which was very thoughtful. Everything about this house was just so well thought out, even down to the wooden kids toys and games that we did use often due to 2 of our 4 days being rainy. We can't recommend this house enough and the owners made it feel like you're walking into their home for a stay instead of a hotel or some place you need to be worried about your kids touching things. It's very kid friendly. Very parent friendly. Even pet friendly. 10/10 loved it.

    This cottage was a dream! It was impeccably clean, beautiful, tasteful decor and well-equipped with tons of ‘extras’ we didn’t expect. It was incredibly located too, just a short walk from the beach. A perfect getaway home that clearly has had a lot of love put into making it cozy and accommodating.The only downside was that we picked this specific home due to the fenced yard advertised. We brought our dog, for a significant additional fee, and when we arrived, the yard is indeed NOT fenced in. There is one small gate and no fence as pictured, and listed. I hope this will be adjusted in the description by the listing company.

It was exactly what we needed as a Family of 4 (2 Adults and 2 Kids) for our Week Vacation at Cape Charles. We loved how the house was just a short Gold Car ride to the Beach and if we forgot something it didn't matter because the kids Loved riding back to the house! The Kitchen was adorable and defiantly had all our needs. No Dishwasher but we came prepared with paper plates which made clean up easy. Tons of Games and Toys for the kids...they didn't even touch the toys we brought! Loved spending quality time with the family during our Beach week at this wonderful Wild Blue Cottage!

    Let me start with the big complaint. If you're over 6'2, just go somewhere else. The door frames are low, the crossbars are low, the showerhead is low.

    This cozy cottage will make you feel right at home! Two adults and two kids fit just right in this home. We loved all of the finishing touches that made you feel like you were welcomed over to an old friends house. In addition, the yard with outdoor shower made beach clean up a breeze - in fact we only used the outdoor shower (inside is a bit tight). The kitchen is small, but we eat out a lot of meals on vacation anyway. Come to cape Charles for the beach - stay for the bread, ice cream, and charm in the little hangout
