Captains Quarters by the Bay by RedAwning
If you can appreciate the character and quaint idiosyncrasies of a 111 year
old home, then you should love our new Captains Quarters! Our beautiful older
home will have some floors that are not yet perfect and are not perfectly
level, and you may notice a bit of a lean here and there!
But it has been updated with Central Heat/AC, new ceiling fans throughout,
High Speed WiFi and updated appliances - all designed to allow you a wonderful
beach side vacation!
The Captain's Quarters offers 4 bedrooms with 2 Queen beds and 3 Twin beds.
We also have a bonus room in the unique attic space with a King size bed that
is accessed with a spiral stairway that was rescued from the Grand Cavalier
Hotel. With the "attic" area and King size bed, we can actually sleep 9.
From the upper windows we do have a beautiful view of the bay and beach.
Although we are not directly on the beach, we are just steps away. There is a
home in between us and the beach but there are no streets to cross and the
walk to the beach is just a minute or maybe a 1/4 cup of coffee!
Parking is just outside your door right in front of our garage..
We feature a large (65") smart TV and high speed Wifi for your work or
entertainment.
Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is
now over 108 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building
standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its
charm as an older beach cottage. The bathrooms are not as large as what is
found in modern structures, but even so we hope that you will love our older
and charming home.

It’s on a busy road, but the yard is fenced. The easy walk to the beach was very nice. The heat worked great, which was good, because it was a cold weekend!
We really loved the location, 5 minutes along a private path to a nice, fairly private beach. There was also a lot of space in the house, with the caveat that three of the five sleeping areas (counting the King loft upstairs) all share the same entryway, and aren't really private from each other. The kitchen only had a few spoons and knives, but we bought more and left them behind (you're welcome to those who stay after us!).
The biggest downside was the poor state of the house (there wasn't a specific category for this, but I would give it like a 2/5). I knew it would be an old house when we booked, but I didn't realize so much of it would be falling apart! There were exposed nails everywhere, electrical fixtures hanging from sockets, a shower door that falls to the floor and shatters if you try to move it, several windows that are falling apart or unable to close, etc, etc. I think with some care and attention, this place would be worth 4 stars, easily. But as-is, I'm giving it 3...
Excellent stay. House was exactly as described in listing, no surprises. Older home with a lots of charm. All appliances and furnishings were up to date and entire unit was very clean. Parking was off street and spacious.. Would definitely stay there again.
Great fun at wonderfully quirky hone right next to the water. Got the sense of being old school norfolk holiday family. Lots of construction happening with the motorways in the area so be sure you arrive during the daytime. Had a super time. Perfect for exploring Newport News, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Norfolk, Yorktown and the Delmarva peninsula
Out of the 5 bedrooms they advertise, only 2 have privacy. You can't even use the king bedroom because the roof leaks. The only bathroom on the 2nd floor can only be access by going through 2 of the bedrooms. Overall, until they do some work to clean this property up, I would now recommend it at all.
