Great Week in Cape Charles

The property was perfect for our group of three couples. Our family had a great time being so close to the beach and 'into town'. A great place to stay and will stay here again when we come back to Cape Charles.

Property exactly as described - Excellent! Stayed with a College classmate & wife and another couple. All in late 70's and 80, so one floor was a must. Clean, well stocked kitchen, pantry, and two coffee makers. Few minutes to the beach and beautiful sunsets. Will stay again!
