We were pleasantly pleased with this property. It was very clean and well appointed. Driving back to the property we were a bit surprised by the area and the abandoned trailers.

You could walk to a beach that was just for people who lived on Smith Beach, so it wasn’t crowded. It was a 20 minute drive from the town of Cape Charles, which had some nice shops and restaurants. The air conditioning worked well, so we could get a break from the heat when we needed! ##### Claire R. Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eleanor K. Sep 6, 2025 ##### Eleanor K.
