This house was the most well stocked home we’ve ever stayed in. What a lovely home and the pool was great. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Debby passed by during our stay, but we found things to do and enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend this home. Thanks to Jack for a great time. ##### Barbara H.

We had a wonderful week at this home. The host was easy to reach and very responsive to questions we had. Our family cooks a lot, and this kitchen had everything we needed and more! Games, pack n play, books, there was literally nothing missing! The pool was of course amazing and well utilized. We did receive a noise complaint from neighbors for what we felt were reasonable noise levels, and the rest of the trip we felt worried that we were disturbing them. That was the absolute only negative thing about this vacation. We drove a very short distance to get to the beach path, then walked a short way to access the beach, and it was so sparsely populated that it felt like your own private beach. I would definitely recommend this home for a family vacation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8cb995e4-bf5b-434c-a29c-d5730a05f0f7-1753895157940.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alexandra H.

The walk to the beach was short, and it was so nice that it was uncrowded. We enjoyed sunset walks to cap off the days. A short drive to Cape Charles was wonderful to be able to choose your time to be with others on a holiday weekend. Highly recommend ! ##### Julie N.

It had every amenity we needed including sheets, bath towels, and pool towels. The layout worked well as there is one bedroom on the first floor for anyone who needs to stay away from stairs. It was large enough for us to enjoy each other or quiet times on our own. The beach is a trek but not un-doable. We took two beach umbrellas (provided) and all the beach chairs we needed. The whole environment of the home and neighborhood had something for everyone. We bbq'd almost everyday. The guys went crabbing at Kiptopeke State Park and brought back enough crabs for all to enjoy for dinner that night. I loved this house and all it offered! ##### Mary Anne S.

Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect peaceful location for a family gathering As a family of 8 adults and 2 young children, we needed a spacious house with plenty of outdoor space to allow for a comfortable week’s vacation in Cape Charles. Jack’s place was perfect for all of our needs, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, an exceptionally well equipped kitchen and an expansive back yard with a multi layered deck, and a salt water pool. Jack was attentive to all of our questions and inquiries. The access to a quiet sandy beach mins from the house was an added bonus for all. The calm water was ideal for our 3 year old grandson and all the adults enjoyed lengthy shoreline strolls, as well as watching dolphins playing in the waves and even a bald eagle sighting ! We all enjoyed the peaceful setting of the area, with plenty of cheery bird song to greet us in the morning and send us to sleep in the evenings We count ourselves very lucky to have found this little piece of paradise in Cape Charles. ##### MARY M.

We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids. The house was well equipped! Loved the new gas range! The living space was great to allow people space! It was broken up nicely with two dinning spaces and three sitting areas. Beds were comfy! The garage was well equipped with beach items and chairs! Honestly, they thought of everything! From garbage bags, spices, to beach chairs! The backyard is an oasis! Beautiful pool, lounging areas, and lots of green space. Only concern is that you need to be extremely quiet outside. No music, no kids playing, no loud noises. Unfortunately the neighbors complained, and we were very sensitive to all noise outside after that. Cape Charles is a cute town! We checked out the beach there mutliple times. Loved the breweries, shops, mini golf, ice cream, and checked out a few restaurants! Definitely check out A1 Seafood Market. ##### Lisa F.

There are far too many pros to list and there aren't any cons. 20ish years of staying in the Outer Banks, Seaside Heights, Rehoboth, and the Poconos. I can confidently say this house and pool were by far our favorite! Private beach and the beach in Cape Charles, amazing! Cape Charles is a fantastic little town. The distillery had the best crab cakes and I didn't eat crab cakes. I could go on for days about this house and area but it would be best for you to experience it personally!! ##### James S.

We’re a multigenerational group that travels together each summer. The pool was great although there were some issues w the filter. Jack was very communicative about the issues.

I was a little shocked that there was not much to do in the area. Renting golf carts would have been fun but you need to reserve them in advance there was nothing available for the entire week. So if you want to relax and swim then this is the perfect place. ##### Darlene L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garrett P. Aug 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent home for our family summer vacation An amazing property, the house had everything we needed and more to provide a perfect and much relaxing week for our annual summer family vacation (12 people total; 3 families with children). House was clean, roomy and we much appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and grill to prepare meals every evening. The kids loved playing in the pool, large backyard and swing set all week. The private beach is fantastic, we had no issues driving and getting gear out the path to the beach with the cart and wagon that were provided. Amazing sunsets over the bay every evening and the water was mostly calm which was great for small kids. Jack is an excellent host and provided all the information that you could need up front, and was very responsive to questions we had prior to the trip. It was our first time to Cape Charles which is a wonderful town. We made frequent trips to browse the shops on main street, grab lunch at some great restaurants (Kelly's Pub & Dead Rise Pies), and also spent an afternoon at the beach in town and fishing pier. ##### Garrett P.

Aug 22, 2015 #### Beautiful Beach and Wonderful Outdoor Activities We loved all the opportunity for outdoor activities such as biking and going to the beautiful beach. We were a bit disappointed that a few of the bikes needed maintenance and were essentially unusable, the pool did not have a working light and was not functional at night and a few areas around the house needed maintenance such as the broken umbrella on the deck, grill was out of propane, and a hole in the wall in bedroom. Also, the beach passes were missing and the neighbor/owners were very unwelcoming when we parked our car at the beach entrance to drop off older members of our group as a result. That was unfortunate since we came to the area specifically to see if it might be a great retirement/vacation home spot for the in-laws. We would give this stay a five if those concerns were addressed. All in all, it was a fun vacation and we liked the lovely house and gardens. ##### Margaret H.

We found that the house was spacious and no one ever felt on top of one another. Driving in we were a little surprised by how remote the house is, although this wasn't a huge problem for us as we were not looking for a lot of tourist attractions. The guys in our group did a lot of golfing at the Bay Creek course with the 'twilight' prices. Virginia Beach is only 45mins-1hour away if you're really looking for larger attractions. Cape Charles is a small town with only a few restaurants which I would recommend getting a reservation for ahead of time. We found everything we needed at the Food Lion and cooked in most of our nights. The kitchen was well equipped and the house also has a grill on the deck. We were impressed by all of the added things the house had (cornhole boards, pool volleyball, bikes to ride to the beach, kayaks for the pond, beach towels/linens). We had a great time and the house was perfect for all our vacation needs! Overall Positives: Beautiful house, stocked kitchen, great yard, secluded relaxation, semi-private beach, lots of entertainment at the house (games, pool, darts, etc.) Overall Negatives: wifi was not super fast for streaming, limited choices for restaurants/attractions ##### Kate B. ### 8/10 Good #### Sushama D.

It was peaceful and relaxing. + Pool was very nice, clean, good size + Entire backyard with gazebo, lounge chairs, tables were great to hang out. We ate all of our meals out there + Wraparound porch with rocking chairs was lovely for sitting and enjoying the pretty landscaping - Beach access was difficult. Have to walk through a stretch of woods, and the golf cart rental places in town don’t allow you to take them all the way out to this community because of the highway. So we had to carry all of the chairs and umbrellas ourselves - Beach items were on the older side and there weren’t many toys for the kids (buckets, shovels, etc.) - Freezer wasn’t in great shape in terms of cleanliness ##### Sushama D.

Perfect situation for our group ##### Gail K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry M.

Each time we have rented this property. It is a large and comfortable home with plenty of amenities and one of few homes in Cape Charles with its own private pool. The house comes with plenty of backyard activities and board games that families can enjoy together. The beach access is not a bad bicycle ride or a quick car ride. There is a light 5 minute walk through some greenery after parking your car. I think next time we will rent a golf cart to easily transport our beach gear. The private beach is worth the walk. The owner was very kind and had a very fast response. ##### Sherry M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Hope L.

It was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. We also really appreciated the well stocked kitchen. After a hot day at the beach, coming home to a pool was just what we all needed. Great home! ##### Hope L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kris f.

We took our household to Cape Charles to meet up with one of our adult kids and had the most relaxing time. I was nervous about cooking Thanksgiving in a strange kitchen but everything I needed was there (I brought a roaster for the turkey). We were blessed with wonderful weather and walked to the beach every day (sometimes more!) to enjoy watching the dolphins, exercising and just relaxing. We ate outdoors at several local places (The Shack and Cape Charles distillery) - both excellent. Played corn hole and binged some Netflix too. Exactly the get away that we all needed. The House is in a very rural neighborhood (but oh the sunshine that streams through all the windows!) and the beach is about 3/4 mile but there are beach wagons in the garage if you need to haul stuff there. I ordered groceries ahead at Wegmans in Va Beach and they were ready for pickup as we arrived. Thanks for sharing your home with us! ##### kris f.
