1903 By the Sea - Minutes from Cape Charles

Our spacious American foursquare style home built in 1903 is the perfect family retreat! Located in quaint Cheriton, we are a quick 8 minute drive to downtown Cape Charles, and a 7 minute drive to the boat ramp in Oyster. It's the perfect location for both the fisherman and the beachgoer! We renovated the kitchen & bathrooms while leaving the original hardwood floors, wooden elements and layout of the house the same to preserve the character of this 118 year old roomy home. On 1.25 acres!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

Fun vacation

We had the best first time in Cape Charles! Our house as my 17 year old said was like the house the movie the Notebook! Tucked away on a quiet street and o secluded. House was clean. Hosts were so responsive when we had a quick question. While it wasn’t on the beach it took no time to get to the beach the brewery and the grocery store. We had so much fun. We are looking at coming back next summer and almost 100 percent sure to this house. Might be our new favorite vacation house!
Grilling and chilling with the puppy who absolutely was in heaven!
Wine time on the back porch!
