Next to the park and 2 blocks to the Beach and restaurants! RIGHT side of Duplex

Perfect for families with children; And for Two Families to Rent Side-by-side!

We offer BOTH mirror image sides of our vacation rental duplex, 303 and 305 Strawberry Street. We recently purchased this duplex and plan to continue the history of making memories for families for years to come! This 1925 duplex has beautiful soft light from tall windows and a great dining room to gather. Couples, small groups of friends, and families who want to slow down, go to the beach and the park, and relax in this walk-able small town should feel right at home.

Each side has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths - they are similar bot not identical. The atmosphere is sunny coastal with style-conscious kitchen and baths. The property has a fenced-in small yard with deck with table and 4 chairs, upscale grill, outdoor shower, and some beach gear for your convenience.

Our property is conveniently located at the crossroads of Cape Charles - an easy walk to "downtown", the beach, and across the street from Central Park. The duplex has a covered porch to enjoy your coffee in the morning overlooking the park and a back deck with table/chairs, umbrella and new gas grill, overlooking the fenced-in back yard with outdoor shower. The kitchen is newly equipped with upscale dishes and serving pieces if you like to entertain, Keurig coffee maker, electric and stovetop teapots. The kitchen also has a high chair, or youth chair if the tray is removed, plus children's dishes are provided.

WiFi internet is provided and a new 40" flat screen TV. We've added a few DVDs, games, and books in the dining room bookshelf, along with a few toys/puzzles.

Bedrooms: 1 with a king size bed, 1 with a double bed and 1 with 2 twin-size beds. Linens provided by a linen service.

There is an outdoor shower and small, fenced-in back yard. Beach gear that is provided to lighten the load of your travel here includes: 4 beach chairs, and a beach cart. Sometimes guests have left their purchases, e.g., fishing poles and crab nets, rather than take them home. There is a washer-dryer in the kitchen. For dog(s) approved in advance, dog bed is provided. A pet cleaning fee is charged for approved dogs. An additional cost of cleaning any furniture and bed spreads will be retained from your security deposit if the fur is found on the furniture and beds.

Cape Charles is embraced by water on three sides: commercial town harbor and yacht center (south), public beach (west), and marina (north). It's a wonderful setting if you love the water! Park Place is 3 blocks from the beach (Bay Ave.) and 2 blocks from the shops on main street (Mason Ave.). We are a mile from Bay Creek's two signature golf courses by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, with top ratings by Golf Digest. The area promotes eco-tourism opportunities, including kayaking (even kayak/wine-tasting trips to a local winery), fishing off the town pier, hiking, and birding. You can rent jet skis at the harbor, bicycles, and golf carts. The town often has festivals, planned recreational activities for children and adults, and sometimes shows, movies, or live bands in the Park. The Eastern Shore Birding and Wildlife Festival in early October - fall weather is great here! Festive Fridays for shopping and Christmas treats are held the month of December on Mason Avenue. Year-round, Cape Charles has live theater performed by Arts Enter and others at the Palace Theater, art galleries, a Brown Dog ice cream shop, ladies upscale consignment, and beautiful spa to name a few of the attractions in town! We have good eateries and, if you like nostalgia, be sure to stop by the lunch counter at Rayfield's pharmacy at the corner of Mason Ave. and Fig. Street. Cape Charles Medical Center is located on Mason Ave. too.

This home was perfect for our family! With a park and playground right across the street, and the beach close by it allowed us to have a great vacation. The homeowner provided kitchen and bathroom essentials that made our stay easier. The outdoor shower was a great feature to have especially for after the beach. We loved how cozy and welcoming the space was. Mostly importantly, all the beds were comfortable and provided us with restful sleep.

Perfect rental for small family!

This property looks exactly like the photos, is in a perfect location, and made a wonderful vacation in a perfect little beach town even better. The park is directly across the street, with an awesome greenway, nice playground, and open fountain to splash in. The beach and main row are a quick walk away. Yes, the house is old (as others have mentioned) and the owners have done a wonderful job of updating it, but preserving the charm. If little imperfections and old homes bother you, you are in the wrong town; Every house here is at least 100 years old! We had perfect weather, perfect neighbors, and the most wonderful first trip to Cape Charles we could’ve asked for. John was excellent with communication, and made sure we had everything we needed. Having the beach wagon and chairs alleviated our packing stress! We will absolutely be back to this wonderful home!

One of our favorite places

We love the little town of Cape Charles VA. This rental is in a perfect location - across the street from Central Park, a few blocks to the beach and to the shopping district. We have stayed at this house for 4 or 5 years. It is clean and comfortable. Great for the 3 generations of my family!

Family week at the Easter shore

The housing was authentic and charming. The 3 bedrooms worked well for our family. The backyard and patio felt very private and inviting, we spent the afternoons there playing cards on the patio. The location is very convenient. We walked around town and the park. We visited ahead of busy season and found many of the stores/shops in town open on a limited schedule. We look forward to returning. Cape Charles is a lovely little town with lots of character and charm.

Great House

We stayed in the right side of the duplex. It is a lovely house, but as is warned by the owners, it is older and settled so it feels a bit tilted in some places, be careful on the stairs as they tilt to the left a bit and the railing is in the lower style indicative of the year it was built. It is clean and bright, though. The owners provide a lot of essentials, making it easier on the traveler. There is a high chair and a pack and play bed. A beach cart, chairs, umbrella, toys and towels are all available to use. There are plenty of kitchen supplies. The beds are comfortable. I am a huge fan of the fact they use a laundry service for linens, ensuring clean sheets and towels. The only complaint I have is noise. The walls are thin. So hope for quiet duplex neighbors. The house next door (not duplex neighbor) had a large party that was frustrating when trying to put a toddler to bed, so i only took off a star for the location, because i know that is not the owner's fault. Very close to the beach and downtown. We didn't drive anywhere. Great stay!

Summer beach getaway

We enjoyed our stay overall. We realize these Cape Charles homes are older and efforts are made to preserve them. Air conditioning worked well on a very hot week. The property could use a deep clean (bathroom in particular) and some general maintenance (loose stair railing, overgrown landscaping, loose flooring and deck boards, missing trim, etc). Backyard would have been used if there was any shade like umbrellas shown in photos. Would stay here again if some updates were made. Location is great being so close to the park.

Nice Weekend in Cape Charles

The house was well maintained for such an old house. Very small bathroom. I would not recommend more than 2 to 4 people stay here. The back yard was a lot smaller than we hoped. I felt overall it was a good place to stay. Maybe a little over priced in my opinion.

Perfect Location for a Cozy Beach Getaway!

We had an excellent stay at this property. It is an older home but the owner has done a nice job of keeping it up to date and decorated nicely. We found everything to be very clean and the beds were comfortable. We especially appreciated the fenced-in backyard, which was perfect for traveling with a dog and a toddler. The best thing about this property is the location. It is directly across the street from a park with a large playground. In one direction, you can walk to the beach in about five minutes. In the other direction, you can walk to the downtown area in about five minutes, which has lots of restaurants and shops. The area also has sidewalks if you just want to get out and walk. We barely had to use our car throughout our stay because everything is so close. The only problem we had was that the people on the other side of the duplex had a party one night with a lot of people and loud music, which was frustrating when you have a sleeping 2-year old. Despite that, we would still stay here again. The clean, cozy home and close location to everything was exactly what we were looking for.

We couldn’t have loved this property any more if we tried. Such a great location and in proximity to everywhere we wanted to go. We walked to the beach, for ice cream, the bakery, you name it! The park is right next door and was wonderful for young kids. Lots of room to run and a great playground! The house having games, toys and a high chair were another huge plus. We’ll be back for sure!

Very worn and in need of full remodel

The furniture and finishes are all low quality and very old and worn. A number of the windows barely locked. A bifold to the laundry room was missing, a kitchen cabinet was dented and peeling apart, baseboard moldings missing. Overall there was a general grime over the entire place. The carpet was very worn and dirty. The refrigerator had a piece of old sliced cheese stuck to a shelf. The stair railing is loose and a spindle is falling off . At the conclusion of our visit when stripping the bed the mattress covers were fairly stained. At least one room only had one wall outlet. The place is in need of a full remodel. The location is very ideal and the use of the folding chairs and beach cart was nice. The outside shower worked well. I'm highly confused and skeptical of the other reviews. It's unfortunate that you can't leave photos with a review.

Another great stay at this Cape Charles property

This was the second time our family has stayed at this property. The location is perfect: across from the park and about 3 blocks from both the beach and main shopping district. The shaded porch is a great spot for 3 or 4 people to hang out and enjoy the whether. It is also one of the few Cape Charles rentals that allows pets. Side note: we enjoyed meeting the owners while they happened to be staying in the other side of the duplex the same week. They are easy going and do a good job of keeping this older home in great shape.
