I can't even put into words how phenomenal our stay was. This house is perfect - from the cozy beds and couches, to the beautiful porch and pool/patio area, we enjoyed every inch of this property. The back patio area is exactly as pictured - and I couldn't keep my kids out of the pool! The house is also very clean!! As an added bonus, Megan really puts thought into the extra touches - from the welcome basket to the smores and popcorn for movie nights, this was the perfect family vacation. So many happy family memories were made during our stay - thank you so much!Cape Charles is a beautiful small beach town, with an amazing fishing pier and shopping area. Kiptopeke State park is about a mile from the house, and has a perfect little beach and pier too. I highly recommend booking The Sandpiper for your next vacation!

The house was exactly as described. Extremely clean! We had a group of 8 and we were very comfortable. Megan is an excellent hostess who is very thoughtful with the extra touches. She was quick to respond and answer all the questions. Her dad was great too. He quickly cleaned the pool one morning even though he stopped by for something else. The house is right next to the state park and 15 minutes from downtown, so a perfect location overall. Can't wait to book again next year!

Amazing family friendly getaway!!!

The home was exactly as advertised. It was very comfortable and exceptionally family friendly. Cape Charles is a beautiful little town and this home was the perfect place to stay! We were super close to the state park beach, which was phenomenal as we didn't feel the need to stay all day with the kids. We could go to the beach in the morning and come home and enjoy the pool for the remainder of the day. Megan was AMAZING throughout the whole process. Check in was simple, the special touches and goodies were perfect, and the welcome book had everything you needed to know. I would highly recommend this rental!!

An Eastern Shore getaway

I've spent much time down the Eastern shore as a child, as one side of my family is from the area; however, I hadn't frequented the area of Kiptopeke. The house is great - spacious, clean, inviting, and in a great area. Not far from the Bay/Tunnel Bridge (if you want to go to VA Beach), Kiptopeke State Park is basically next to the house, and close to Cape Charles (another great little beach town). Additionally, further up Rt. 13 is a host of other little towns to explore. Megan, the host, is friendly and great with communicating in the event you have questions. My boyfriend and I highly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Perfection!

We wanted to find a home that we could rest, relax, and reconnect as a family, with our three teens/tweens, after a long school year and busy summer. This was the perfect place! We were able to do all those things, as well as swim, cook family meals, visit the cute little town of Cape Charles, take a trip up to Chincoteague Island, and a trip to the aquarium in Virginia Beach. Megan and her family were super to work with and answered all our questions quickly. The home was super clean, well stocked, and had little surprises for our family waiting for us! Our kids loved the slushie machine (my husband and I enjoyed frozen adult drinks, also!) and they loved making s'mores each night after we swam. Thank you for a wonderful week! We are ready to take on a new school year, now! This is the perfect place for your family to reconnect!

Lovely Family Vacation

We absolutely loved this place. We were looking for a place to enjoy and relax and this is it! It was hot and humid so the pool was our favorite place. So warm and clean and inviting. Megan answered any question we had - I don't think we had many. The house has everything - grills, decks, children toys (our little sooo enjoyed them), some pool floats, air conditioning in the house, 3 good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds, beach towels and toys and an umbrella - you really just need to pack your clothes. We really loved it. We made a couple trips to virginia beach over the bridge/tunnel (very easy to do) and went into Cape Charles and a winery. Just lovely and so needed. Thank you so much!!!!

Relaxing vacation home with extra touches

Great house to relax (large pool and yard) with family and friends. Extremely close to Kiptopeke State Park to enjoy the swimming beach, biking trails and lighted fishing pier. I know you’re on vacation but wonderful kitchen equipment to help you entice late risers with the smell of freshly baked muffins, cakes or quick breads. Highly recommend.

Perfect for us

This was the perfect solution for our family to spread out and have room for our kids to run around the big yard after a day of swimming. The extras made the trip super special! We did s’mores, movie nights, grilled out, and Megan’s dad was so nice! We’ve never tried clams and he brought us some for everyone to try. the kids loved the experience! Kiptopeke state park beach allowed us to let the kids enjoy a not so crowded beach and no rough waves or currents. Megan suggested a hike that our kids loved! And there are a bunch of little restaurants, and the food Lion grocery store, on the cape side so we only had to get back on the long toll bridge once or twice to go into Virginia Beach for some preplanned activities. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed, we were able to make so many meals here with ease. The slushie machine was a huge hit with the kids, and the pool of course. The beds were great the kids loved the bunk beds there are actually 6 beds in the kids room. We’re so sad leaving today.

A wonderful vacation!

We just finished a week at The Sandpiper with our two daughters, their spouses, and our grandchildren, ages 5, almost 3, and 6 weeks and we all had a wonderful time. We have been staying at VRBO and realty company-managed vacation rentals for 15 years or so and have never had a home that included as many perks as The Sandpiper. Property owner Megan and her family were gracious hosts and have thought of everything that would make anyone's stay special. Comfortable living and sleeping areas with an abundance of bath and bed linens, a well-stocked kitchen with extras like a slushie machine, Instapot, built-in griddle, and S'mores kit, plus a wonderful deck with above-ground pool that was exceptionally clean. Another bonus is this home is just a few minutes from Kiptopeke State Park with a lovely beach that is perfect for young children, and a short drive to Cape Charles with fun shops and restaurants and another beautiful beach. I truly can't think of anything I could add to what Megan has provided. She was always accessible by text or phone and was prompt in answering any questions that came up. She even made sure we were aware of special events happening during our stay in the Cape Charles area. I definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning soon!
