Hampton Inn & Suites Exmore - Eastern Shore

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very friendly, easy check in,room was clean. Did not eat breakfast as we left very early. Would stay again"

Quality Inn & Suites Exmore - Eastern Shore

10/10 Excellent

"A huge shout out and thank you to the gentleman on the front desk the night I arrived. I had just been released from the emergency room for a broken arm, and this gentleman went out of his way to make sure that I had everything I needed. Under the circumstances, my stay could not have been better."

Nassawadox Creek Waterfront Home with Private Pool

10/10 Excellent

"So this place is so amazing we actually extended our stay until today. This house is exactly how it’s described… but, as far as we’re concerned. The osprey house is tranquil, not off the beaten path so far that you can’t go 30 minutes to the north or to the south and find so many things to go do. We enjoyed Cape Charles, we even went back over the bridge and if you have easy pass you should bring it with you because it’s 16 one way but if you do it in less than 24 hours it’s only six dollars coming back. It is definitely worth the trip if you’d like to go into Maine city areas, or if you’re like my husband and I who love to go antiquing or the thrift stores, the art Studios or museums. But we also love to fish and crab so the fishing is spectacular over there as well as Cape Charles , Kiptopeke state park, as well as Chincoteague island. But, our best crabbing was here at Osprey house we caught nothing but number ones and number two which are everything over 7 inches. We made sure we threw back all of the females because we definitely want to have crabs all year round and for the future. Now most people would think this time of the year is not a good time to come out to fish or crab if that’s what you’d like to do but it is I grew up here on the Eastern shore and this is the best time to come in and get crabs and clams and oysters and everything else that has to do with seafood. The sunrises here are gorgeous, the property is an amazing park like setting. Booking next year."

The Captain's Quarters located in Cape Charles, VA offers breathtaking views.

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our anniversary. October is peak bird migration and there were also fall festivals happening in town, so lots to do! This spot was away from everything with a beautiful view of the marina, but close enough that we could walk to everything in town (or park at The Shanty and walk from there). Host was very kind and welcoming, Space was perfect for a couple and sitting on the balcony with coffee in the morning was so lovely! Nice bathroom and comfy bed, not much space for cooking but it's as-described in the listing and there's a fridge and electric cooktop. Overall, this was a great experience in a quiet town with nice hiking about 15 min away."

Bayfront Retreat w/ Game Room + Outdoor Pool!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third visit to the bay front retreat, and we had another wonderful time! Such a lovely house and property, well off the beaten path, surrounded by nature! The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a great time! The host, Mary, was super attentive and helpful when needed. We will definitely be back next year!"

Cape Escape-Short Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard & Optional GC Rental

10/10 Excellent

"The property is excellent, we really liked the balconies on two levels. The location is nice, not too far from the beach and not too far from the town center and then to the main strip.Everything was clean and well maintained.Ashley was very responsive and accommodated our request for a slightly earlier check-in. Too bad she couldn't do anything about the Hampton Bay tunnel being closed :)."

Blissful Oasis | Waterfront Seclusion with a Dock!

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a must stay! The home is perfect, the views were incredible, and our expectations were far exceeded! Anyone looking for a gorgeous property on the eastern shore of Virginia will not be disappointed with this location."

Pet-Friendly Waterfront Retreat w/ Private Dock on Virginia’s Eastern Shore

10/10 Excellent

"My family had an awesome time over Labor Day weekend staying at Ripple! (While we waited for the house to be ready, we took a short trip to Kiptopeke and saw the concrete ships. So cool!)Ripple was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our children, 21 and 24. It was peaceful, relaxing, clean and comfortable, and had a beautiful view. We made sure to take our fishing gear, and spent a lot of our time out on the pier catching croakers, speckled sea trout (?), and our very first cobias!We are already talking about our next stay at Ripple. That time can't come soon enough! :)"
