Peaceful getaway for Independence Day weekend
Such a great location to get away from the hustle and enjoy a private beach getaway! Location was great. Cape Charles is such a sweet location with unique shops and restaurants. Had to contact property manager for check in information but got it sent to me within 5 minutes. Highly recommend

Lovely property
This property was perfect for our family. There is quite a bit of construction in the neighborhood, but that ended up being a bonus for my toddler, who loved all of the construction equipment. The house was great - well-equipped kitchen, walking distance to the beach, beautiful landscaping, access to the community pool, close to town and the grocery store, etc.

Lovely beach week
We very much enjoyed our stay at Old Crow's Nest. It is spacious with flexibility for sleeping and activities. The beach is nearby but not quite walkable for the very old and very young but easily accessed. Nice views of the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is nearby and provides some alternative things to do as well as another larger beach. We would recommend this place to friends and family.

Absolutely perfect!!!
This was a short little trip to celebrate 2 big occasions; my parents' 54th wedding anniversary and my dad's 80th birthday. The house is in a great, quiet location overlooking one of the holes of the golf course and with a view of the bay off of the back deck, which makes for a great view of the sunset. Having access to the golf course through the owner was key, as my son, dad, and I played golf on 3 straight days, and my son enjoyed being able to drive golf carts into town for dinner. Cape Charles is a gem of a little town, if you haven't discovered it yet, and this house made our stay absolutely perfect.

A great family vacation
We recently stayed at the Old Crow’s Nest and we had the most amazing time. The house was very clean and exactly what we expected. The beach there is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. This is our new favorite vacation pace and we are already planning our trip back next year.
If you are looking for a quiet vacation to be able to relax and spend time with your family, I highly recommend this place.

Old Crow's Nest
My family stayed at the Old Crow's Nest in the Bay Creek Resort during the first week of August 2022. This was our fifth time visiting Cape Charles, but our first time in the Bay Creek Resort. We were a party of 8 (5 adults and 3 children ages 9, 7 and 5). The house, with 4 bedrooms plus two pull out beds up on the third level, provided plenty of space for our group. The beds were comfortable and the rooms attractive. Each bedroom had its own TV. The house also had 3 full baths which made showering after the beach or getting ready in the mornings easy. My only minor complaint was the house could have used a few more bath towels. There is a washer and dryer on the second floor, which was convenient for everyone to use. The living areas contained enough comfortable furniture for reading or watching TV. The outdoor furniture was also attractive and comfortable. The kitchen had decent appliances and was well stocked with plates, glasses, wine glasses, silverware, etc. The house also has a thermostat for each floor which meant little fighting over what temperature the house should be. The view of the bay and golf course/pond behind the house were wonderful. A perfect place to watch the sunset. The house had adequate parking for our 3 cars either in the driveway or in front of the house. The beach access is a little less than 1/2 mile and is an easy walk or in our case, drive as we had a lot of stuff to take to the beach. There was plenty of parking at the beach access point. The beach itself, which is private to the resort, was as nice as the public beaches in Cape Charles. During our stay the beach was uncrowded even on the weekend. A nice touch was air-conditioned restrooms and a hose to wash your feet off before heading back to the house. To use the Lifestyle pools and fitness center cost an extra $60/day, which we decided to decline. Also, while the golf courses looked in great shape, none of us are golfers so we didn't make use of them either. Overall, we were quite pleased with our stay at the Old Crow's Nest.
