We had a great stay. Owner was very easy to reach, although we had everything we needed it was nice knowing she was responsive if something arouse. The setup of the house was perfect for our group and was as expected from the listing. Would absolutely book again. The option to add on the golf cart was amazing. The house was clean and spacious. Thank you for a great trip.

Enjoyed our after Labor Day stay

Cape Charles is a beautiful town on the bay and did not disappoint with the a clean beach and small town atmosphere. Plenty of great places to eat and try some local craft brews. The house was nice with the updated kitchen being the highlight of the property. We enjoyed our walks to the beach and around town, being the active people we are, but it is just short of a mile to the beach from this location. If you are not up for that, no problem, just consider adding the golf cart rental from the property owner.

Girls weekend

Lenore’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway with my mom! The house was as described/pictured and met all our needs. Beds were comfy and the neighborhood was very quiet, so very restful after spending our days exploring all Cape Charles has to offer. Great weather, beach, bakeries, parks, wine tastings, restaurants, sunsets, and ice cream! Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Thank you!

Great Week Away

We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor shower was a major bonus! The house was tidy, had ample towels and beach towels to borrow, washing machine, games, books, coffee, no clutter and Lenore was super responsive throughout our stay. We rented the golf cart for a couple days, which was fun and made traveling around town very convenient.

Lovely house in Cape Charles

Had a great stay at Lenore's place. Wonderful location that was convenient to the beach and the shops/dining in town. It was helpful to rent the golf cart to get ourselves and our one year old to the beach. If we didn't have a little one it would have been an easy walk. Lenore was very responsive and answered quickly when we struggled with the lock box. The house is historic and the upstairs is more rustic than downstairs, but suited our needs well. The bed was comfortable. Very nice yard with outdoor picnic table and patio. Would stay again!

Classic Cape Charles

This home is a wonderful example of a restored Cape Charles original. It has all the modern features you would want while capturing the feel of a small beach town property from another time. The home is well equipped and furnished, nicely located, and well maintained. The hosts are super responsive. We had a brief but very enjoyable say.

Awesome Stay

We had a wonderful stay at The Jay House! The sleeping arrangements were perfect for me, my mother in law, and two young kids (2 & 5). The house was located within walking/biking distance to the playground and the beach. However, I highly recommend renting the golf cart! We took it everywhere we went all weekend. Lenore was super accommodating and even let us check in early.

A great base to venture from and return to!

This property is fully equipped with an amazing kitchen, (grill outside and more seating!) breakfast bar, dining room table that seats 6 with a smart TV, then there is the comfy living room with books galore, all kinds of great board games for family fun and a large smart TV for down time. The bedrooms are cute, and meant for sleeping in. The mattress in the master bedroom where we slept was comfortable. there was an AC in the room, but our visit was during a chilly period, so we used the central heat instead. Lenore has complimentary bikes which we didn't use but appreciated the offer. We cooked most meals at the house and ventured about during the day, happy to come back to a comfortable, clean, quiet property. All in all, this house is perfect to use as your base camp for a great Virginia vaccation!

Beautiful house with everything you need!

We absolutely loved our stay! This was our first time visiting Cape Charles and I’m so glad this was the home we chose to stay in! It’s on a quiet street with a good size back yard and all the amenities we could ever need. Appreciated the coffee bar, abundance of nice beach/bath towels (it was really nice to not have to bring those!), cornhole, outdoor gas grill, bikes and beach chairs. Also the bed in the primary bedroom is VERY comfortable, and we’re picky when it comes to beds. We also rented the golf cart which I highly recommend. We didn’t drive our car at all while we were there as it’s an easy 2 minute golf cart ride to everything! Lenore was very easy to communicate with and checked in with us throughout the week (via text). Promptly brought TP when we ran low and dropped off an extra jug of water. I love the charm of the house too but appreciated that the kitchen has been updated.

Cape Charles Gem - Soaking up the end of summer!

Great location! Easy walking, biking and quick golf cart rides to any place we wanted/needed to go. Definitely recommend renting their golf cart. The house was perfect and roomy for our family of 5. So many nice amenities - new kitchen, outdoor shower, lots of bath and beach towels, bikes were awesome, etc. We loved the bay beach (bring floats for the water), restaurants and shops were great and all super close to the house. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and then watching the beautiful sunsets on the beach each night. House was quiet, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Lenore was awesome - great communication and responded super-fast. We plan to return, hopefully sooner than later. Thank you.
