The peace and quiet, the beauty of the Bay, the warm sand of the beach, the friendly people and eclectic shops and restaurants... the town captured our hearts immediately. Our family (mom, dad, five kids, and a Bernese mountain dog named Yankee) has built a million cherished memories here, and we hope that you will too! 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! The house 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 (coffee pot, Keurig, Nespresso -- did we mention that we are coffee people?). The house features cable TV (there are flat screen TVs 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 portable fire-pit, a charcoal grill/smoker, 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. In the shed you'll find everything you need to have a great day on the water -- an adult and kid-sized stand-up paddle-boards, adults and kid-sized kayaks, beach chairs, toys, games, bicycles, and the family's pride and joy -- a 5 person surrey. Cape Charles is a hidden 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! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Flat-screen TV with cable channels - Games - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30640000/30634500/30634469/60200659.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cape Escape-Short Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard & Optional GC Rental Historic Downtown Cape Charles - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 165 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=30634469&PinnedHotelID=30634469&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69770000/69768700/69768651/3c1a0d4d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cape Utopia - sister to existing ID# 7559899 Historic Downtown Cape Charles - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 44 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=69768651&PinnedHotelID=69768651&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55450000/55447500/55447444/de1f278b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Next to the park and 2 blocks to the Beach and restaurants!
