Kudos to the owners. The back yard, too, is most pleasant, and it is in a lovely quiet neighborhood. Everything worked exceedingly well for the four of us; couldn't have been any better. We would definitely consider staying here again. ##### Patricia L.

From the second we walked in it felt like a home away from home. Each item seemed to be chosen to make the property comfortable - the throw blankets in the living room, the well-stocked kitchen, the extra beach essentials in the backyard - we didn't have to worry about a thing! It was one of the most thoughtfully prepared rental places I have ever encountered! I highly recommend the property and would love to return soon. ##### Meghan R.

We loved the big porch for sitting outside. It had everything we needed. The only issue we had was the upstairs was very hot (and one ceiling fan did not work). We didn’t sleep much so be prepared. We also would have loved to seen some type of house manual or book for things such as where to plug-in the golf cart or how to work the Roku. It’s a great space for a small group. ##### Kerry S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### T H. 31 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Third trip to Cape Charles Weather was typical Cape Charles weather and the time spent around town was great. The house was fine. A few small things, there is an open live wire under the TV exposed (hope it's not live), the outlet plug in for the golf cart was broke along the fence in the back yard. It appears the house is currently being renovated. There were some unfinished work on the porch and inside that should have been completed prior to rental. The lot next to the house was cleared all week long causing a lot of loud noise and sawdust all over the place. It prohibited the use of the back deck for the week. However, we understand that this work had to be done and was not required to be coordinated with the adjoing properties, it just made for a lousy week of chainsawing and heavy equipment noise from 8am-5pm every day. The house is very nice and we wished we could have enjoyed all of the updates inside and out. We would gladly rent this property again in the future. We appreciate the rental company and the owners for working with us on the adjoining lot clearing work all week. Thank you very much and we look forward to coming back to Cape Charles soon! ##### T H. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney G. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Place was amazing - back yard was great love this little town Started off poorly with not being able to access the house when we arrrived into town late. Unfortunately The emergency number provided for the rental company and we spent several hours calling VBRO - which had hour wait times to get connected as well as calling the rental Humber over and over. Finally in the morning - not a second earlier than 8:00 am when the office opened - a gentleman gave us keys. We were refunded the first day and I thought that was fair. Once this hiccup was resolved the rest of the trip was great amd ed forgotten about it - thanks ##### Courtney G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ---
