Tucker family 2024 Cape Charles retreat

This was the perfect place for our family summer vacation house! All the bedrooms had full baths and was perfect all the families we had there. The pool was a plus because we have 3 or more days of over 100° heat index and a place to relax while the were babies napping. Definitely recommend for a large group!

Beach escape

We celebrated my husbands birthday surrounded by family in this beautiful home. Kathy was a Perfect host and offered assistance with anything we needed. The town is quaint , friendly and the scenery is gorgeous. White sand beaches are in walking distance and there are shops, cafes and distilleries to enjoy. I loved the oysters at the distillery. I’d highly recommend this beautiful home for your next beach adventure

Family Vacation

Was a very nice property for a large group. All bedrooms were comfortable and everyone having their own bathroom was a huge bonus. We enjoyed the hot tub. We were disappointed in the pool. It was dirty and we didn't get in. Felt we could of used some instruction on that. Overall it was a great stay.

Kathy welcomed us upon arrival. Always available to make sure we were comfortable. House beautiful, spacious, modern upgrades with a touch of history. Close enough to beach to get some exercise and walk. We did rent golf cart though to get all beach supplies to beach. Short walk to town center and stores. Pool super refreshing! Large enough too for large family. Grateful for opportunity to stay here. Thank you again, Kathy!

Vacationing on the Eastern Shore

Alyssa House was perfect for our family! Plenty of bedrooms and baths for all 13 of us! Such a lovely historic home, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub, the wonderful porches and making s’mores around the fire pit in the backyard! Kathy was a wonderful hostess and so helpful! We look forward to vacationing there again next summer and highly recommend Alyssa House!!!

We enjoyed our stay the week after Christmas through New Year’s Eve. Large fenced yard makes it extremely dog friendly. Although hard wood stairs were difficult for our older dog. House is beautiful. All bedrooms on 2nd and third floors. Every bedroom has a bathroom. Pictures don’t do it justice. It is thoughtfully appointed with towels, toiletries, paper towels, toilet paper and laundry supplies. Owner’s home is right next door. She is readily available to answer any questions and stopped by during our stay to talk to us about the various shops and restaurants available. When we couldn’t find a can opener, she brought one right over. Kathy is very helpful and the house is lovely.

Wonderful

This house is so lovely and everything we needed was there. My sister and our families have been taking vacations together for the past 20 years up and down the east coast. This was our very favorite. We booked this house again while we were staying there. We range in ages 3 to 60 and it was hands down for a repeat at this house in Cape Charles. The hostess is the best.
