You'll Love Our Nature: The Eastern Shore is a 75 mile peninsula comfortably nestled between the Atlantic Ocean & the Chesapeake Bay. Uninhabited Barrier Islands protect the Seaside coast from the power of the ocean. Winding ribbons of Beach line the Bayside coast, including the wide stretches of sand at Eagle's Rest. This section of the coast is locally known as 'The Sand Hills'. Pre-historic sand dunes over 60 feet high create unique ecosystems and spectacular views so special that they inspired the creation of the Savage Neck Dunes Natural Area Preserve, a 295 acre refuge for migratory songbirds, endangered Northeastern Tiger Beetles, and of course the Ospreys & Eagles that give our house it's name.

There is always an adventure to be found at Eagle's Rest. Have kayaks or paddle boards delivered to the beach and go explore the coast & creeks to the North. Tie on your hiking shoes and explore the otherworldly landscapes of the Preserve to the South, or just grab your binoculars & let the birds come to you

Little Williamsburg By the Bay: The quaint, historic town of Eastville is home to the oldest continuous court records in the US, an historic court square, and a number of beautiful homes from several distinct periods of American architectural history. One of our favorite day trips starts & ends in Eastville, and let's you discover some of the Shore's other highlights along the way.

After exploring the Eastville Courthouse Green, travel North to the Barrier Island Center. This cozy little museum tells the stories of our gorgeous barrier islands and the people who have called them home over the years. For lunch scoot across the street to the Machipongo Trading Company, or up the road to the Great Machipongo Clam Shack before joining the guides from SouthEast Expeditions for a kayak trip on Church Creek to Chatham Vineyards. After a little adventure and a glass of Chardonnay you're ready to return to the Eastville Inn for a fantastic dinner & return to Eagle's Rest just in time to watch the sun set over the Chesapeake.

World Class Golf, Small town charm: Historic Cape Charles, VA is 15 minutes south of Eagle's Rest. Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus golf courses are available at Bay Creek development, as well as a public beach, stores, restaurants, and atmosphere that can best be described as 'Mayberry by the Bay'.

The Eastern Shore has been one of the best kept secrets in the Commonwealth since the days that Virginia's capital was located on Plantation Creek during Bacon's Rebellion. Discover why Captain John Smith declared 'Heaven and Earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's habitation...' when he first sailed past our coast.

Eagle's Rest is perched amid pre-historic sand dunes above the waters Capt. Smith sailed. Centrally located in Northampton County, the house is conveniently close to Cape Charles, Eastville, & Onancock, and is a great home base for day trips to Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chincoteague.

Accessible via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (One of the 7 Modern Wonders of the World) or by driving down through the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Eagle's Rest is just a half a days drive from DC, Philly, New York, & Raleigh / Durham.

The small towns & villages of the Shore sometimes feel like the land that time forgot... but it's a place you'll never forget.

Other Activities: Bird watching, Kayaking, Hang-Gliding

From the rippling blues & greens that flow across the floor of the Master Bath to the gorgeous birds fluttering across the tub walls downstairs, these spaces are uniquely beautiful and help bring the tranquility of the Bay indoors. This showcase extends to the kitchen as well where a slab of amazing Blue Macauba serves as the island that anchors this free flowing, chef friendly space.

Your own private paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: October 22, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We loved our stay here! The kids loved the place! The sunsets are to die for. We didn't want to leave and the kids are ready to go back. Seen all sorts of wildlife. Nice and quiet had the beach to ourselves. The kids brought back lots of different shells they found, (even found one shell that was being occupied) The kids loved the rope swing and did that all the time. Kitchen well equipped. Bathrooms are all one of a kind. We always stay at cabins when we go on vacation and this was a very nice change. Dave and Sarah are wonderful! We only ate out 2x the 1st night and the last night the rest of the week as we cooked there, It was wonderful to get away from it all at this little paradise.
Owner's Response: Dear Sara,
We are so happy you enjoyed it! Please come back again sometime soon.
All the best,
Sara and Dave

A Sanctuary on the Eastern Shore

5 of 5
Submitted: June 6, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
A fantastic location with a beautiful view and direct access to the Chesapeake Bay. We arrived and carried our kayaks 75 yards to the beach which is protected by three small breakwaters. The next day we put our Hobie Cat in the water at the ramp in Cape Charles and sailed it up to the house in about 45 minutes. Water depth out to the breakwater is chest deep but wear water shoes for the few sharp rocks. With no bad weather we took four hour kayak trips up and down the bay and sailing was great. No kayaks – the owners can arrange them for you. Winds started the week from the north and ended the week from the south-south east. Sailing a Hobie with dolphins swimming beside you flying along is an experience you will never forget. We were able to sail every day and ranged up and down the bay. Walking through the protected reserve to the south of the house was like walking through a fantasy land. Take a camera as the sunsets and other sights provide a myriad of opportunities for the photographer. This is a luxurious house created by a well-known architect. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, and contains everything you will need. The bathrooms are what you would find in a five star hotel and the bedrooms are very comfortable. If you brought everything you need to eat for a week you would never have to leave. This is a true sanctuary. We had a wonderful family vacation that even our golden retriever enjoyed.

Quite Simply Perfection

5 of 5
Submitted: September 9, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
Eagles Rest is a quite simply the most amazing holiday home I’ve ever stayed in, it is quite simply perfection…and believe me I’m picky.

The location of the house is sublime; it is such a private and tranquil spot. The house itself is a great combination of an exquisite designers abode and a home. To reiterate what the previous reviews say, the bathrooms really are a work of art, I suggest you see them for yourself, and the kitchen is a joy to cook in.

We enjoyed many an evening sitting on the private beach enjoying a glass of wine watching the most incredible sunset, and we were totally undisturbed.

The only problem with staying at Eagles Rest is you will never want to leave!

My wife and I stayed at the Eagle's Rest for our 30th anniversary and had a great time. While the house and beach are very beautiful, the best part of staying there was sitting on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee, with nothing but the sound of the wind or a bird to disturb us. It's hard to find quiet like that anymore.
