Great family home in walking distance to the beach and town.

We had two families stay in this home and there was plenty of space. The pictures definitely make the rooms appear smaller than actual. The dining room was perfect for all 8 of us and could accommodate more. The kitchen was well equipped. The house was clean. We packed light and used the laundry facilities daily.

Our kids were ages four, three and a half, two and 22 months so we opted to drive to the beach since the little legs couldn't happily make the 1/2 mile walk home at the end of the day. We did walk to the library, park/playground and town center.

Opportunities for improvement:
- We were disappointed with the toiletries available in the house since we had to buy hand soap, paper towels/napkins, toilet paper and tissues.

- Large citronella candles or torches would be a great addition to the home as we missed out on evening porch sitting because the bug spray alone just wasn't cutting it.

-We wish there were two queen beds instead of only one in this property.

- There were a lot of flies indoors. We were swatting at them constatntly. Although I doubt this is an issue with the property and is more about being at the beach since we did see our neighbors swatting often too.

Attractions:
The beach was amazingly stress free with the little ones. They had plenty of freedom to roam and still be visible to adults. Even on the weekend it was not crowded at all. They only had to wear their swim vests one morning during high tide. Other times there were enough sand bars they could walk for a long time and be waist deep or less.

We enjoyed the town shops and rental of beach equipment.

We had fabulous (although pricey) seafood at both Aqua and Sting Rays.

The adults did an amazing 2 hour kayak trip through the wildlife refuge with southeast expeditions.

Overall, I highly recommend Cape Charles and this property for a relaxing, laid back and low stress family beach vacation.

Our extended family used this home for a four day adventure in togetherness and had a great time. Everyone was comfortable; we weren't too crowded and the house was lovely. It would benefit from having a few more games/puzzles/books to use while you are there, as I was expecting to find these in the home and we didn't bring much in that dept. But that's a small thing. We enjoyed Cape Charles, even though its Renaissance isn't yet complete. We also spent a great day up in Chincoteague. (Check out Cap'n Barry's for a great boat ride up there). The house is a duplex, and the owners of the next door place were there and were so friendly and helpful to us. That was totally a plus!

This house is so nice and it's HUGE! It would be a great rental for multiple families. The bedroom is so large!! This is an older house that has been totally remodeled and updated. It is so nice inside. There is a nice front porch and a big back deck which is great for hanging out on after a day at the beach. It so convenient to have the beach walking distance - no need to load up the car with sand just walk! It also has several flat screen TVs so you don't have to miss your shows. All and all we loved our stay in this house and plan to go back again!
