4 min walk to beach, Dog Friendly w/ Fenced Yard, Firepit, Fireplace/propane

Great home, located in downtown Cape Charles . Walk the 2 blocks to the Beach each morning, and evening to see the sun set over the horizon. This dog friendly home offers a great way to explore cape Charles and have fun each day at the beach. The fenced in back yard, offers privacy and a place for the dogs to play without worry.
The home offers a propane fireplace, main level bedroom with a King bed and private bathroom.
Lots of parking out back -3 cars, so you aren't on the street. Entry thru backyard, with gate . You can park one or 2 cars out front , but code given out is to the back door , not front door.

You must plug in golf cart out back also , plug near master bedroom private deck. You need a 150 foot cord, they do have them at the rental places. . Please Do not drive on the front lawn at all, with golf carts or anything, this is very expensive to repair and is not fair to the next guest, to have yard crew digging it up to replace it.

Desk, with printer/ copier / scanner and fast wifi. The new furniture, renovations and new kitchen/baths with fresh paint are a welcoming site. New windows and doors, 2023, when it is not so hot or cold and you desire to open. New furniture, mattresses and more , 2022 and each year upgrading..

Have fun in the firepit or the deck in the backyard . One area of sand and another of grass compliment the yard, with both sun and shade. Propane grill and picnic table as well. Fig trees, please eat, before the birds do. Rosemary, mint , basil , lavender and more are grown for your use. Some herbs may not be available, but lavender and mint are year round.

New privacy trees with lots of shade , for those pups and small ones.. Sun as well, but you have room to sit in the shade or the sun in the summer.

Home is located with the library behind it and Browns Ice Cream, ( this could be a great thing or a calamity, if your are trying to limit intake ) . You can walk to everything in the town from this home , even the Shanty Restaurant. Kelly's Pub is close as well. Cape Charles offers music in the park or in town, each week with a different concert, in the summer ! Have fun with the locals and your family. Tennis courts in downtown Cape Charles as well. December is beautiful with festivals each weekend in town.

Festive Fridays in December, starting Thanksgiving weekend- each Friday is a different theme. Come celebrate and shop with Mason Ave shut down , parades, music, Santa and more . Just walk out the back yard here and you will be in the middle of the festival ! .

Dogs allowed any size, and let us know quantity please. Fee per dog. Please note, dogs allowed before 9am on the beach from May to Sept . During the shoulder season, and winter , they can go all day. Please pick up after your dog ,so we can remain dog friendly .

This home has actually been dated back to 1800, due to an old window and the side windows near the front door. If that breaks- we have to order the glass out of Belgium and the cost to replace them??? who knows, - they are the Jeffersonian glass .. and how do I know this ? As an architect with the AIA, I have had the historical chapters analyze the glass, trusses and more of the home . I work on the home slowly with experts. It is critical to preserve this home, it is one of the originals ones in town. The foundation was worked on this year, so the floors are level now, the staircase yes is steep, however, no one can correct this without tearing down the home. As an architect and preservationist, this is one of those wonderful qualities of a home from 1800. This home was built before the town was established. It is a great home, and I know the owner that grew up in this home , one of the original Cape Charles people left today. ( yes they grew up in the home in the 1940's on ). Their value added is wonderful, so we could take the home back correctly and understand the nuances..

Nice
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. We had perfect weather to enjoy the backyard while letting our dog and toddler run around in the enclosed space. The house is close to the beach and to restaurants & shopping. The BBQ grill was brand new (lucky for us) and allowed us to enjoy several family meals. Would stay here again. Thank you

Great place!
This house captures the spirit of Cape Charles perfectly. It's charming, nicely maintained and modernized, and you can't ask for a better location. Leslie called the day before check-in to make sure we didn't have any questions, and she sent someone right over when my mom had a little trouble figuring out the electronic lock upon arrival. We had a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for us. It was close to the beach and very convenient to the main strip and all the places we wanted to go. We enjoyed the outdoor area and sitting around the firepit. Would definitely recommend it to friends.

Location is key
This property is in a fantastic location so close to town and beach. The owner was very easy to reach and very pleasant to speak with as well. Being able to bring fur babies was a bonus too. For us the pros were: Location, Owner Communication, dog friendly, fenced in backyard, large dining room table for games, and bedroom on first floor with door to backyard(great for morning first call for doggies). The cons were Small family room (only 3 -4 people fit comfortably), older home so sloping floors and old wood floors that gather dirt quicker and steep steps to 2nd floor(elderly and real young one will need to be careful). For us the cons were minor since we had beautiful weather and did as much outside as possible but wanted to share my honest thoughts. Thanks

Family weekend in Cape Charles
Perfection. Charming house. Perfectly decorated, perfect location. Comfortable and quaint. Came with my husbands parents my two boys and my two dogs. We could not have loved this place more. Leslie was very responsive to questions. We had everything we needed at the house. We will be returning for sure!!

Great location! Dog friendly:)
The location is awesome (right behind downtown area) and two blocks to the beach. The property was as described and the owner maintained great communication for a power outage related to severe weather in the area. All the beds were comfortable (no complaints from any of our party) and the air conditioning cooled the house nicely (there are two units-one to control downstairs and one for upstairs). The only suggestion I would make would be for seating area to fit a few more comfortably in living room space. This wasn't really a problem for us as we didn't use the room as much since we were busy enjoying Cape Charles most of our stay. Loved the having the tankless water heater (endless hot water) and 3 bathroom/showers available since it made getting cleaned up and ready to go in the evening much faster for our group of 8. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

Great location in Cape Charles
We had a great time in Cape Charles with this house. The location was great - one block from Mason (the street with the most shops/restaurants) and two blocks from the beach. We brought our dog, so it was great that this property was dog friendly. The house was very clean when we checked in, and met all of our needs. The kitchen had all of the cooking implements that we needed. I had only two qualms: first, there is a major renovation being done next door, so there were lots of workers coming and going. Thankfully noise wasn't an issue even with all of the work being done. And to be fair, you really can't rent a place in Cape Charles without being fairly close to some major renovation project. Second, for the week that we were there, the sheets on the bed were disposable sheets. For the price that we're paying per night my expectation would have been for real fabric sheets. The sheets as they were made it feel like you were staying in a hospital bed.

Location Location Location!
You will not find a better location in Cape Charles. 4 blocks to the beach, half a block to town. You are in the middle of it all. The backyard is an oasis with beautiful landscaping and a great place to hang out after a day on the beach. The only “cons” of this property are small bathrooms and only seating for 4 in the family room which is tight when this house sleeps 8. I live in a 120 year old house, so I get it, but it’s just something to be aware of. This was our 5th year to the Cape and our best location yet! Thank you!
