Great place for a couple, or small family. It was very convenient to everything; and nice to be able to walk everywhere. The condo has a little wear from age, but overall it had everything we needed and more. Appreciated having the little things like soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dryer for our towels etc. Beds were comfortable. Would stay again.

The condo is an excellent value. Size, location and condition are excellent. I had requested a change in our dates and Doug responded directly. We adjusted our stay to start and finish a day later.One disappointment ....... We could not connect to the internet the last 24 hours of our stay. I called the two numbers listed in our guest instructions and left messages and my cell # but did not received a call. I rebooted the router to no avail. One other item of note which did not affect our stay in any way. The window/door frame in the second bedroom has a leak. It rained most of Monday and Tuesday with a north wind blowing against that side of the building. On Wednesday we went in that room to open the drapes and noticed the carpet was wet on the left side of the frame including the frame, step and floor. The door had never been opened during our stay.

Perfect location! We loved our stay. The apartment was great for us with a small child. Convenient to everything. I took one star off for cleanliness. There was sand on the toilet seat and a dirty bowl on the floor upon arrival. Would stay again.

Cape Charles charm

It was a wonderful apt with a great location to walk to everything. Shop owners were all super friendly! Our only disappointment was that the beach was actually closed the first 2 days for “reconstruction “ and the main reason we chose there was to walk to the beach.

Daughters wedding

My daughter was married at Mimosa Barn and my husband and I (from Mass) stayed at the Beach Retreat. It was better than the what the photos portrayed and was perfect for two people (plus my daughter the night before the wedding). The owner was very gracious and we will definitely stay there again if it's available.

Late summer stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, perfect for our little family of 3. Ideal location on the main thoroughfare; steps from the beach, ice cream (goals for our 2yr old), and shopping (for mom). The apartment was well appointed, very clean… we had a great time and are already looking forward to our next trip to the ES.

Long weekend in Cape Charles

The apartment was clean and as expected. The property manager with Blue Heron Realty reached out to ask if they could bring some new furniture in, which was no problem for us. However, we waited until they arrived and then went out to dinner. When we returned the front door to the unit was wide open. I texted to inform her and have yet almost 24 hours later received an apology or explanation.

Loved this rental!

This rental was overall tidy. It had everything we needed and was close to the beach. Will definitely be staying here again. The check in process was a little off, the company had given the wrong apartment number with the code to access, so I did have to go to the real estate company since no one would respond on VRBO messages.

Great home and location but it could be a little cleaner

Very nice home, tastefully furnished and good location. I found a dead roach in the bedroom and the sheet in one of the rooms had a strand of hair on it which was not a pleasant sight. Other than that a great stay.

Excellent little get away for two as long as you go before Labor Day weekend. The holiday weekend marks the closing of most attractions in town, which was not reflected in the price of the rent. The apartment was clean and well decorated.
