About this property
Downtown Cape Charles Victorian, Dog-friendly, Short Walk to the Beach!
Cape Cottage is a clean, comfortable, charming Victorian... a perfect spot for your Cape Charles beach vacation! The peaceful downtown location leaves you just a short walk from shopping, restaurants, and (most importantly, as far as we are concerned) the beach.
The home has three bedrooms and two full baths. The living room has a comfortable sectional couch and a great TV for watching movies or sports. We love our dog and wouldn't want to vacation without her; we assume that if you have a dog, you want to bring him or her too!
Cape Cottage has everything that you need to have a marvelous vacation -- the kitchen is spacious and stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and appliances that you have at home. The house features ROKU TV in the living room and in two of the bedrooms, WiFi, central heat and AC, and on-demand hot water (so your whole crew can clean up without draining the tank!). New mattresses throughout the house will ensure a good night's sleep. The cleaning fee covers all linens and towels, so you won't have to bring those with you.
Outside, there is a wrap-around front porch with a porch swing and lounge chairs. In the back, there is a spacious back yard with lights, a propane grill, and an outdoor dining set. Set up a round of corn-hole or horseshoes, throw something tasty on the grill, open a cold drink of your choice, and watch the time fly.
Cape Charles is a gem. Whether you're into nature, wildlife, hiking, shopping, eating, water-sports, or just sitting on the beach reading a good book... we are sure that you are going to have a wonderful vacation!

Great location. Property was clean and beds were very comfortable. Lots of water water toys for use, along with board games and books. Enjoyed our stay.
So nice to find a dog-friendly property close to the public beach and very walkable to town. Historic home is cute and quirky with everything you need for a family vacation.
We enjoyed the convenient location of this property. It is close to the beach and to all of the shops. The front porch swing was nice and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!
We love coming to the Cape and had a great time, with the location being top-notch. House could use a deep clean but otherwise was as described and had everything you needed!
Always a pleasure to stay at this home. Owner provides everything one could need for meal prep, washing, playing at the beach. Very comfortable. Well located near town and easy walk to beach.
House had so much to offer. We didn’t stay long enough to utilize all the fun things. Great location. Lots of space to hold large groups. Mike was super easy to work with. Answered questions in a timely fashion. We’ve stayed in several homes in Cape Charles and this was one of our favorites.
We stayed at this property for a wedding weekend for a family member. This property was amazing! The host is very accommodating and responsive! The home was clean and well maintained. Loved that the linens were provided! The rest of our family stayed a few houses down, so it made for an easy commute. This home is perfectly located to all of the local spots, and all within walking distance. We hope to return soon!
Overall we really enjoyed this property. We found it had everything we needed and the location was great.
There was some cleanliness issues…. Food on plates and pans, coffee left in carafe, grounds left in machine, hair/dust balls on floors, stained towels. Not overly objectionable but greater care is needed on these items.
My husband and our doggies had the best time visiting and staying at this Charming home. The owner was amazing answering any questions we had . The house was beautiful and historic . We loved it. The location was perfect to all the things . We were able to take the dogs to a lot of the places . House had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time on the front porch and swing .
We can’t wait to come back and stay with our dogs again soon.
The house location was excellent. The kitchen was a bit of a disappointment, it was small and the pots and pans were lacking in the sense there were no smaller pots and the layoff was not functional. The upstairs bath needs updated the tub needs reglazing and its dangerous to use. I have some mobility issues so its not user friendly to older people. Otherwise we enjoyed our time there
Plenty of space and beds for our family of 5. Large sectional in living room is so comfortable, offering a nice gathering spot for the family. Home is well stocked with towels, cookware, and paper supplies. The coffee bar with choice of Nespresso, keurig, and standard coffee brewing is awesome. The kids love the surrey and bikes, and mom appreciates the outdoor shower to rinse off the beach! But above all, pet friendly is most appreciated. There’s no dog fur on the furniture or carpets, the home is kept very clean. The owner is friendly and so easy to communicate with. We love staying here every summer.
We had a wonderful vacation at this house! With 3 kids under 5 and a dog, not all homes can accommodate, but this house sure DID!
The living space and dining areas were open and comfortable, and the bedrooms were cozy. The location is great-we walked to the park multiple times for the kids and the dog to enjoy!
The only negative we had was the mountain of trash that was overflowing the trashcan when we arrived was very smelly and brought a lot of flies. Unfortunately trash pickup didn’t happen until we had already been there for a couple days.
Overall we loved it. Lots of good memories were made during our stay!

Needs updating
The house needs updating. The kitchen floors need to be changed. The bathroom sink needs to be fixed, the stove needs to be cleaned. The beds were nicely done when we arrived but the mattresses need to be changed. Over-all, we enjoyed our stay, it was a nice neighborhood. Beach, church and shops were nearby.
We had the best long weekend here in Cape Charles. The property is lovely. For those traveling with young children, it's set up with all the bedrooms upstairs. The main bedroom and first bedroom are off the main hallway, and the second bedroom is through the first bedroom - however there is a second set of stairs from the second bedroom to the first floor, so no one is ever "trapped" by a bedroom. Sorry, that's a little hard to visualize but view photos for more perspective. We had 3 adults and 2 children (3 and 5) with us, and there was ample space. Major bonus: blackout curtains in the first bedroom so my kids didn't wake up with the sunrise!
We mostly ate in, and the kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware.
We found some beach chairs and an inflatable raft in the shed, along with a SUP (did not test this out but it was there).
I highly recommend a golf cart! It's a nice 10-15 walk to the beach and same distance to the brewery, but it was really fun to drive around the town.
Host was kind and responsive. Check-in and check out were a breeze. We really enjoyed this and hope to be back again next year.
We had the best time! House was well equipped and very spacious for our family of 4 (plus our dog!) Nice yard and convenient proximity to everything Cape Charles has to offer.
