About this property

Family Friendly 3 Blocks to Beach with Great Amenities

  • Welcome to our family-friendly Cape Charles beach retreat — thoughtfully designed for relaxing getaways, memory-making, and easy Eastern Shore living. We completely overhauled the home in 2018 with guests in mind, blending ESVA coastal charm with all the comforts of home to create the perfect escape for families, couples, or multi-generational vacations.

    The home features a fully stocked kitchen ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to seafood dinners, comfortable living spaces to unwind after a beach day, smart TVs for all your streaming favorites, and new mattresses and bedding to ensure restful nights after long days in the sun.

    Designed specifically for family travel, the layout includes two spacious primary bedrooms (one on the main level), each with king beds — ideal for two families vacationing together, grandparents joining the trip, or simply giving everyone a little extra space to relax.

    For beach lovers and outdoor adventurers, we’ve stocked the house with everything you need to enjoy Cape Charles to the fullest. Guests have access to a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), adult two person kayak, two children’s kayaks, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and a beach wagon to make trips to the sand simple and stress-free.

    Whether you’re spending your days exploring the calm Chesapeake Bay waters, biking through town, enjoying local restaurants and shops, or simply relaxing on the porch with family and friends, our home is the perfect base to experience everything Cape Charles and Virginia’s Eastern Shore have to offer.

    We’d love to host your next beach getaway.

Very charming home in a great location with all of the necessities for a week-long stay. The bedrooms are well furnished and perfectly spaced along with 3 bathrooms. Bathrooms include tubs, which makes things easy for kids that are too little for showers. Such a great layout for larger families. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. The fridge and freezer is large. It’s a little low on storage space for groceries, but we just used the kitchen island counter to store our items and that worked out fine.Our host was very helpful and communicative regarding our stay. Check in and check out was very straightforward. We would absolutely book here again in the future.

Wonderful stay

We were in town to celebrate my sister’s 70th bday and see a concert. It was a perfect lo cation and so cozy. We spent a lot of time on front porch and enjoyed apps on back deck. Everything was great.

Our family of 4 rented awe shucks for the first time, and we had an absolute BLAST! The house was very well appointed for young children -- ours are 4 and 6 -- to include fun themed rooms, toys, coloring and other craft supplies, a giant beanbag chair, Tiki Toss game, and kid-friendly furniture. Thoughtful touches like a step stool for washing little hands in the upstairs shared full bath, and kids' dishes and cups. Kitchen was well appointed, including Tupperware. The living space was wonderful for the 4 of us, but could also see two families with young kids being able to share this space well. The king suites were beautiful, well appointed, lovely decor, and tons of storage options. Loved the giant downstairs full bath! Ample parking in front -- just ask your golf cart rental company for an extension cord for charging overnight. Wonderful and refreshing to arrive and have all beds made with bath linens supplied and readily accessible! We never dined al fresco, but the back porch space was beautiful and shaded well. Super grateful for our stay here and how comfortable and welcoming everything was -- can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Cape Chuck ☀️🌊⛱️

Our first visit to Cape Charles was delightful. The small beach town was quiet and filled with the friendliest people. The property was bright and open with comfortable beds. Quick walk to the beach and Main Street.

Great Home Away From Home

The house was perfectly located within walking distance from both the main street, beach and local park. House was well appointed with kitchen, toys, etc. - exactly as described. Super host was in contact immediately when we need a toilet seat fixed. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great house!

This was our sixth stay in Cape Charles, we’ve hopped all over town during those stays and this was my favorite house! Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated, which I find to be an added comfort. Close enough to walk to the beach. House is nicely stocked and the paddle board was a fun bonus!

Another wonderful stay at Awe Shucks

This is our second year at the house and we had another wonderful stay. Jennifer is quick to reply to questions and even helped us out of a bind when we left an important package behind. The house is an easy walk or cart-ride to the beach and is well-stocked. The first-floor shower/laundry room is perfect for cleaning up after the beach. We'd love to stay a third time!

Always a great time!

This was our second time staying here. This time it was 2 families for a total of 4 adults and 3 children. We had a great time and so did the children. Our weather wasn't good for going to the beach but thanks to the shed full of things the kids had a great time scootering around! This is the most family friendly and accommodating vacation home we've ever stayed in and we will be going back! Hopefully sooner this time!

Great family retreat!

Me and my 4 and 2 year old had a quiet, comfortable stay in the house. The house set up is excellent for kids, and could easily host two families (the other family we were supposed to travel with couldn’t come last minute) with plenty of room to spread out. I didn’t need any toys or books for my kids since they played with the ones they found. The beds were comfortable, location was a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach and playground, and the host had everything we needed to cook at the house if we chose to. Jen was very responsive to any questions I had during our stay. We hope to visit again!

Perfect family friendly getaway

We've stayed at this wonderful home several times now and there are several reasons we keep coming back! The property is kept updated and tidy. The amenities are fantastic especially having 3 children ages 5-8! We came with another couple and their children. There was just enough room for all of us to be comfortable in the house. The kids love the toys and all the beach stuff in the shed! The hosts are also fantastic! They are so great to work with and are very communicative. We were given the opportunity to check in early and were so very thankful to have that extra time. We can't wait until our next stay here!

Fishing Trip

Took customers on a fishing trip - awesome house, awesome location. I have been going down to CC VA for approx 10+ years and this was one of the nicest/ most unique places I have stayed. The only real negative (if this even counts) is the keyless remote ( although very convenient ) was very temperamental. Didn't work in direct sun / couldn't see it. Recommend taking actual key with you.

Perfect Beach Getaway in Cape Charles!

My family and I just returned from an unforgettable stay at beautiful Cape Charles, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty and charm of this property and the town. The house is perfectly situated, just a short stroll from the beach. The neighborhood is peaceful and welcoming, providing a relaxing atmosphere for our vacation. Cape Charles itself is a hidden gem with its quaint shops, delicious eateries, great coffee, and picturesque views. Brown Dog Ice Cream is a must-stop! This beach house truly felt like a home away from home. The spacious living area was perfect for our family to gather and relax. The house was stocked with all the essentials and more. We appreciated the comfortable beds. Our hosts were exceptional, Jennifer was very responsive and helpful. This beach house exceeded all our expectations.

Great House

Great little house perfect for our family of four with empty beds/rooms to spare. Also great location, we were able to walk or golf cart to where we needed the entire visit. Also, the air conditioning in the house work’s wonderfully. We had issues getting into the house with the code but Jennifer was great helping us out when we called. For unknown reasons either me, husband or son could get in with the code the entire stay but my daughter had no issues with it. Only 2 issues, the kitchen countertops were not clean when we arrived, beverage spills, food and crumbs however only took a few minutes to clean up. Also, the main floor bathroom toilet was broken, not clogged and useable but continuously running water. Overall great house, we would stay there again & recommend to others

Very Nice Stay

We had a very nice stay in Cape Charles this year. We have visited here numerous times and stayed at several different properties. We've stayed in nicer homes and we've stayed in much worse. One thing to understand is most of the homes the Cape Charles Historic district are older homes that have been renovated, for the most part. This home was very nicely decorated and very comfortable inside. The beds were comfortable. The interior was clean. The kitchen is small and lacking storage- as is common with homes in the historic district. A lot of the lights are controlled with remote controls, which is a first we've seen in a rental property. This is not a good thing when you have young kids who like to hide things, lol. There are also what I am guessing to be "smart bulbs" in some of the fixtures, as the dining area lights blinked constantly and we had no idea how to stop them from blinking. There are PLENTY of kids games and toys in the house. If you're bringing kids, you probably don't need to pack any toys. The outside of the house is very neatly kept. There is a foot wash on the side that was nice when coming in from the beach. The shed in the back is well stocked with beach toys, bikes, kayaks, chairs and a nice beach umbrella. The location is perfect. It is only 3 blocks to the beach and only a few blocks to the shops on Mason Ave. Jennifer was a very accommodating and responsive host. We addressed all of small concerns with her and she has stated she will address them.
