Family vacation retreat w/ In-ground Pool with private Chesapeake Bay access!

Located for easy access to our private beach, Kiptopeke State Park, Cape Charles, and Virginia Beach. This is the ideal family get-away for 4-5 couples. Completely modern with loads of privacy, it can accommodate up to 12 guests and has two separate living areas. When you're not splashing in the pool, you can take a 1-minute drive to stroll the nicest beach on the Eastern Shore. It is about 6 minutes to Kiptopeke State Park with its great beach, nature trails, fishing pier, and boat ramps, and 12 minutes to the Town of Cape Charles with its restaurants, stores, beaches, parades, marinas, golf courses, and more!
It's a 45-minute drive to the Virginia Beach oceanfront and about an hour and a half to Chincoteague where you can tour the islands and see the wild ponies and Osprey nests. Williamsburg is a 1 1/2 hour drive; a perfect day trip. Experience a slower pace of life with access to all the fun you want.
Note: The pool is open for Memorial Day. Please let me know if you'd like it opened earlier in the season.

Please note: Loud music and parties are not tolerated. This is a very quiet, peaceful community, and excessive noise is not tolerated. Thank you for your understanding and acceptance of this condition.

Wonderful home!
We’ve stayed in quite a few home rentals. This house was the most well stocked home we’ve ever stayed in. What a lovely home and the pool was great. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Debby passed by during our stay, but we found things to do and enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend this home. Thanks to Jack for a great time.

Fam time!
This home was perfect for our family get together ! Plenty of room, the pool was a big hit with all ages! Jack was a great host! He checked in with us and was very helpful and kind. The walk to the beach was short, and it was so nice that it was uncrowded. We enjoyed sunset walks to cap off the days. A short drive to Cape Charles was wonderful to be able to choose your time to be with others on a holiday weekend. Highly recommend !

Great family vacation
We had a great stay at Jacks. We’re a multigenerational group that travels together each summer. The pool was great although there were some issues w the filter. Jack was very communicative about the issues. The location near the private beach was great. We loved riding bikes or driving over for mornings/evenings on the beach. It was a great stay!

A few housekeeping items that could be addressed (such as eradicating sugar ants and better cleaning of the bathrooms) and more comfortable seating in the den for more to watch the one TV there but overall it was a very enjoyable stay. Our grandkids had a great time in the pool and it was a very relaxing vacation.

Perfect peaceful location for a family gathering
As a family of 8 adults and 2 young children, we needed a spacious house with plenty of outdoor space to allow for a comfortable week’s vacation in Cape Charles. Jack’s place was perfect for all of our needs, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, an exceptionally well equipped kitchen and an expansive back yard with a multi layered deck, and a salt water pool. Jack was attentive to all of our questions and inquiries. The access to a quiet sandy beach mins from the house was an added bonus for all. The calm water was ideal for our 3 year old grandson and all the adults enjoyed lengthy shoreline strolls, as well as watching dolphins playing in the waves and even a bald eagle sighting ! We all enjoyed the peaceful setting of the area, with plenty of cheery bird song to greet us in the morning and send us to sleep in the evenings We count ourselves very lucky to have found this little piece of paradise in Cape Charles.

Excellent home for our family summer vacation
An amazing property, the house had everything we needed and more to provide a perfect and much relaxing week for our annual summer family vacation (12 people total; 3 families with children). House was clean, roomy and we much appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and grill to prepare meals every evening. The kids loved playing in the pool, large backyard and swing set all week. The private beach is fantastic, we had no issues driving and getting gear out the path to the beach with the cart and wagon that were provided. Amazing sunsets over the bay every evening and the water was mostly calm which was great for small kids. Jack is an excellent host and provided all the information that you could need up front, and was very responsive to questions we had prior to the trip. It was our first time to Cape Charles which is a wonderful town. We made frequent trips to browse the shops on main street, grab lunch at some great restaurants (Kelly's Pub & Dead Rise Pies), and also spent an afternoon at the beach in town and fishing pier.

Beautiful Beach and Wonderful Outdoor Activities
We loved all the opportunity for outdoor activities such as biking and going to the beautiful beach. We were a bit disappointed that a few of the bikes needed maintenance and were essentially unusable, the pool did not have a working light and was not functional at night and a few areas around the house needed maintenance such as the broken umbrella on the deck, grill was out of propane, and a hole in the wall in bedroom. Also, the beach passes were missing and the neighbor/owners were very unwelcoming when we parked our car at the beach entrance to drop off older members of our group as a result. That was unfortunate since we came to the area specifically to see if it might be a great retirement/vacation home spot for the in-laws. We would give this stay a five if those concerns were addressed. All in all, it was a fun vacation and we liked the lovely house and gardens.

Family Get Away - But Shhhhhhhhhh
We had great vacay! We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids. The house was well equipped! Loved the new gas range! The living space was great to allow people space! It was broken up nicely with two dinning spaces and three sitting areas. Beds were comfy! The garage was well equipped with beach items and chairs! Honestly, they thought of everything! From garbage bags, spices, to beach chairs! The backyard is an oasis! Beautiful pool, lounging areas, and lots of green space. Only concern is that you need to be extremely quiet outside. No music, no kids playing, no loud noises. Unfortunately the neighbors complained, and we were very sensitive to all noise outside after that. Cape Charles is a cute town! We checked out the beach there mutliple times. Loved the breweries, shops, mini golf, ice cream, and checked out a few restaurants! Definitely check out A1 Seafood Market.

Beautiful, well-equipped house
We stayed in Cape Charles for a week at the end of June with four couples and two one year-olds. We found that the house was spacious and no one ever felt on top of one another. Driving in we were a little surprised by how remote the house is, although this wasn't a huge problem for us as we were not looking for a lot of tourist attractions. The guys in our group did a lot of golfing at the Bay Creek course with the 'twilight' prices. Virginia Beach is only 45mins-1hour away if you're really looking for larger attractions. Cape Charles is a small town with only a few restaurants which I would recommend getting a reservation for ahead of time. We found everything we needed at the Food Lion and cooked in most of our nights. The kitchen was well equipped and the house also has a grill on the deck. We were impressed by all of the added things the house had (cornhole boards, pool volleyball, bikes to ride to the beach, kayaks for the pond, beach towels/linens). We had a great time and the house was perfect for all our vacation needs! Overall Positives: Beautiful house, stocked kitchen, great yard, secluded relaxation, semi-private beach, lots of entertainment at the house (games, pool, darts, etc.) Overall Negatives: wifi was not super fast for streaming, limited choices for restaurants/attractions

Relaxing Family Reunion
This house was great! It had every amenity we needed including sheets, bath towels, and pool towels. The layout worked well as there is one bedroom on the first floor for anyone who needs to stay away from stairs. It was large enough for us to enjoy each other or quiet times on our own. The beach is a trek but not un-doable. We took two beach umbrellas (provided) and all the beach chairs we needed. The whole environment of the home and neighborhood had something for everyone. We bbq'd almost everyday. The guys went crabbing at Kiptopeke State Park and brought back enough crabs for all to enjoy for dinner that night. I loved this house and all it offered!

Relaxing vacation. Property and pool amazing, beach access difficult
We enjoyed our stay at Jack’s property! It was peaceful and relaxing. + Pool was very nice, clean, good size + Entire backyard with gazebo, lounge chairs, tables were great to hang out. We ate all of our meals out there + Wraparound porch with rocking chairs was lovely for sitting and enjoying the pretty landscaping - Beach access was difficult. Have to walk through a stretch of woods, and the golf cart rental places in town don’t allow you to take them all the way out to this community because of the highway. So we had to carry all of the chairs and umbrellas ourselves - Beach items were on the older side and there weren’t many toys for the kids (buckets, shovels, etc.) - Freezer wasn’t in great shape in terms of cleanliness

Family vacation 2021
The property was perfect for a family, the house was equipped with everything you could want. I was a little shocked that there was not much to do in the area. Renting golf carts would have been fun but you need to reserve them in advance there was nothing available for the entire week. So if you want to relax and swim then this is the perfect place.

Quiet Family Getaway
We have been coming to Cape Charles with our family to visit for the past few summers. Each time we have rented this property. It is a large and comfortable home with plenty of amenities and one of few homes in Cape Charles with its own private pool. The house comes with plenty of backyard activities and board games that families can enjoy together. The beach access is not a bad bicycle ride or a quick car ride. There is a light 5 minute walk through some greenery after parking your car. I think next time we will rent a golf cart to easily transport our beach gear. The private beach is worth the walk. The owner was very kind and had a very fast response.

Thanksgiving gathering
What a lovely home! We took our household to Cape Charles to meet up with one of our adult kids and had the most relaxing time. I was nervous about cooking Thanksgiving in a strange kitchen but everything I needed was there (I brought a roaster for the turkey). We were blessed with wonderful weather and walked to the beach every day (sometimes more!) to enjoy watching the dolphins, exercising and just relaxing. We ate outdoors at several local places (The Shack and Cape Charles distillery) - both excellent. Played corn hole and binged some Netflix too. Exactly the get away that we all needed. The House is in a very rural neighborhood (but oh the sunshine that streams through all the windows!) and the beach is about 3/4 mile but there are beach wagons in the garage if you need to haul stuff there. I ordered groceries ahead at Wegmans in Va Beach and they were ready for pickup as we arrived. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful Remote Property
This was a beautiful property in a very remote location, which was just what we were looking for. The pool was amazing and the owners provided everything you could need, including for small children. There's so much nature to look at on the property- butterfly bushes, a fig tree, lizards, spiders, deer, swallows' nests and rabbits. Definitely bring some bug spray if you plan to hang outside at night time. The beach is private and pristine, but I would definitely recommend renting a golf cart for the week. It's a 3 min drive or 10 minute walk to the path, but then it's another 5-10 min walk down the path to the beach. Be aware that on the sides of the path we saw poison sumac and poison ivy (this has nothing to do with the property owners). It's totally worth the journey though. The bay was calm and provided more beautiful nature, including ghost crabs, sand pipers, seagulls, hermit crabs, etc. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend it to any nature lover.

Great value rental home! Spacious and secluded!
Our family of 11, 7 adults and 4 kids, had a great time for our week at the house. There was plenty of room for all of us, with a fantastically equipped kitchen with everything that you could need. All rooms and amenities were well kept and up to date. The pool and outside area were perfect for the little ones to enjoy, and the adults too! The private beach was a bit farther than we had believed as it wasn't walking distance from the house, but it was still fun. The public beach (15 minutes) and Virginia Beach (40 minutes) were not far drives. There were plenty of beach chairs and many kinds of beach items at the house. The small town is very quaint, we really enjoyed dinners at the Shanty and Kelly's Pub, and ice cream at Brown Dog Ice Cream! The owner was very reachable, we had one small issue and he got back to us within 10 minutes and easily resolved the issue. We had a great time, and would definitely recommend this home for your summer vacation!
