Sweet Spot.
We loved the outdoor shower and screened-in porch, as well as the well-equipped kitchen. This place feels like home. The only hitch to our stay was the lock on the little house out back was broken, and my son did not feel comfortable staying there overnight. I understand the lock is being replaced.

Beautiful Vacation
Sage by the Sea is a beautiful place to vacation with a million little touches that make it feel like "home" more than just another rental. Communication with the hosts was smooth and the property manager lives just down the street and was happy to pop by when something came up where we needed assistance. We would love to come back again!

Just Spectacular
We absolutely loved this place. First of all, Cape Charles is a lovely, mellow town with a “small kid” friendly beach. Our stay at this home couldn’t have been better. It was absolutely clean, inviting, comfortable and had everything we could have possibly needed and more. We especially loved the back porch and back yard but the beds were so comfy, kitchen more than equipped with anything we could have needed, dining room and living room above par as well. Golf cart was also key. The caretaker, Laura, was great as was the communication between her and the owners with us. We won’t look elsewhere when we come back to Cape Charles!

Great long Weekend!
This house was perfect for our family’s short stay! It had everything we needed, a great screen in porch and back yard, very close to the beach and down town and walking distance to the park. Having the golf cart included was a huge plus. Also has a fantastic kitchen. We were in town for Oktoberfest, and it was close enough to walk to that too.

Happy at Sage by the Sea
My family of four (including two toddlers) thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay at this house.
The kitchen is large and nice. They have far more appliances, pots, pans, glasses, etc. than a normal house.
The claw foot bath is great for kids, and the downstairs shower is very nice.
We enjoyed eating on the back porch. In June, the backyard was beautiful—fig trees and flowers everywhere.
The office bungalow is nice, but thankfully, I did not need to use it.
Other than food, drinks, toddler toys and chargers (a very small list), the house had everything needed for a beach vacation—beach chairs, beach towels, teen/adult beach toys, inflatable kayaks, etc.
The location is great—a short walk to the playground and dining options. A short golf cart ride to everything else. The golf cart waiver was reasonable.
The owners were responsive and helpful. There were no tricks or crazy check-out procedures.
We were Cape Charles first-timers and will be back. We would happily consider staying in this house again.

Great house!
Our stay was fantastic! We have loved every house we stayed in in Cape Charles, but this was our favorite. It had everything we could need, especially for small kids. Great back yard and screened in porch. And, you can’t beat a house that comes with a golf cart to save on renting one. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful property
This house is GORGEOUS! Beautifully stocked kitchen, the nicest screened porch & private backyard space and all of the things you want to take to the beach- chairs, towels and of course, a golf cart. The house was clean, very updated and the nicest rental we have stayed in yet in Cape Charles- and this is our 4th trip. We hope to return to this property next year. Owners are super responsive for any questions too. Book now!
