Great 1st time vacation on the Eastern shore

The location and the property were absolutely beautiful the décor and the cleanliness of the home was fabulous. David was a wonderful host and reached out to us a couple of times throughout the week to check on how we were doing and if there was anything we needed. I would highly recommend this property for future rentals

Weekend Birthday Celebration

First time visit to Cape Charles to celebrate my mother-in-laws birthday. We all loved the farmhouse. It was very clean and everything was modern and new. Beautiful game room and kitchen! Hosts were very welcoming and responsive. The whole family had a wonderful stay and we'd love to come back someday.

Check in was smooth, with the app for door entry working with no problems. Very well appointed kitchen, featuring coffee and espresso machines, an awesome array of cocktail bitters, and a great induction stovetop. Arcade and Infinity game board were a blast. We nerded out on the vinyl records. Multiple game consoles. 3 minutes from nature preserve trails. Excellent communication throughout. Highly enjoyable stay!

Just what we needed!

We had a wonderful stay here! It was so nice to visit Cape Charles and then be able to drive back to our farmhouse for wide open space. Dave was very helpful! The house was set-up well. The beds were comfortable! We loved watching the sunset from the quiet of our front yard. This farmhouse is a gem and just what you are looking for if you need to get away, but still be close to the beach, shopping and restaurants!

Lovely home in cape charles

The ladybug is set up with everything you need for home away from home. Lots of things there to entertain all ages. The arcade room was a huge hit! Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and serving meals. The exercise room on the third floor was amazing and complete with a peloton. It’s a quiet, peaceful setting, but it’s also an easy drive to several beaches, including Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the local Cape Charles Beach.

AMAZING VACATION

This property was just what we needed. We needed a get away and this was perfect! Dave was a great host. His home was beautiful. We had everything we needed. The cape nearby was a great place to lay on the beach. The kids loved being able to get in the water with no waves. The home was in the country, but a close drive to the beach. The nearby State Park was also fantastic with only a $7 fee to enter. I would highly recommend this property and Dave as a host. Thanks again!

Loved Cape Charles and The Ladybug!

We stayed at the Ladybug for our first trip to Cape Charles. The house is fantastic and has all the amenities that you could need! The area was beautiful and serene. There was so much for our family to do just in the house and the kiddos LOVED the arcade room! Our hosts were very friendly and super helpful and communicative with suggestions for what to do and where to eat in the area. We truly felt that they cared about making our stay the best it could be! Our only regret was that the sweet potato biscuits were sold out when we went to Sting Rays to try them. We highly recommended Cape Charles and The Ladybug!

Quiet farmhouse with all amenities needed

My spouse, our two dogs, and I stayed here for a little under a week and had a lovely time. We cooked most of our meals here and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The rest of the house was exactly as pictured with plenty of TVs and board games to keep us entertained. We also took advantage of the chairs outside to enjoy the breeze and quiet. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean with plenty of towels and included body wash and shampoo if needed. The house is "away" from busy areas, but a very short drive to the beach or parks. We really enjoyed our stay here and the dogs loved the surrounding area with wildlife wandering around.

Amazing place! Host - responsive, quick to reply, made sure we were situated and had what we needed.Home - Old farmhome restored with modern amentities. Lots of upgrades, but kept the old charm. Kitchen had all the utensils, quality pans and knives that actually cut! Everything felt very clean. Induction cooktop and stove that worked great. Main suite bed was super comfy with quality linens. Amenities - I think my husband liked the arcades more than my kids! Play station, xboxes, digital board games kept them entertained for a bit. We enjoyed walking the property with the dogs. Very peaceful setting. I'm an artist and I could see this being a really nice retreat for a writer or an artist. Gorgeous light coming through the dining room windows with great views of the sunrise and sunset. Easy access to main road to downtown Cape Charles in 15 minutes and local state park. Would for sure go back again!

Thanksgiving at Ladybug Cottage

Although very remote, the house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable for an age range of 4 to 84. Plenty of room for everyone! The nature hikes near the house provide spectacular views. The game room was a very big hit with everyone -- even our 4-year-old grandson. The only critique I have is that the kitchen is so well stocked, there's not much room to store the provision we brought with us. It was not a particular hardship, though. Just an observation. We hope to come back again sometime. Like I said, VERY comfortable accomodations, extremely clean, beautiful views near the house.

Miss it very much!

We stayed at this charming modernized farmhouse for 2 weeks. The house is between a stand of trees and farmland, and you can see the big open sky, which was great at sunset. No road noise. The house comes fully teched (“hey Google“) with fast wifi, and was very clean. Little touches – high quality bedding, a gameroom, a record collection, a workspace, were all welcome. The house is close to 3 nature areas – Magothy, where the trail winds ends up on the wide open coast, the Refuge which has some great features, and Kiptopeke with its bayside trail (Brown Pelican). There’s also a path nearby. We had bikes dropped off/picked up (Poseidon Watersports). Cape Charles is 10 mins up the highway, with some good restaurants (the hosts were fantastic with their recommendations), a lovely bayside beach – never a problem parking adjacent to the beach, or finding a spot on the beach, regardless of the day or time. You can go for the whole day or an hour. Farther up you've got Onancock with some restaurants (and awesome bakery), Island House Restaurant on the coast-side and other finds. And you’re really close to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge where you enjoy the views for 20 minutes and end up in Virginia Beach where you can do the boardwalk, Trader Joes, etc. and when you’re all done you get to go back to peace and quiet. I miss it already. The hosts were great with us, answered many questions and really wanted us to have a good vacation. I wish them well. Wonderful stay.
