The house was incredible, and the hospitality has exceeded any experience we have had with other properties. The property owner responded quickly to every message. The location was good too, closer to three beach and to town. This will be our first choice when returning to the area.

Wonderful

We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic vacation here, everything was perfect and very well thought out by the hosts, with so many extras! Great location too, so close to Kiptopeke State Park beaches and nature trails, and a very short ride to the Cape Charles beachfront. We saw many gorgeous sunrises, sunsets, and even a few shooting stars from the back deck. Highly recommended!!

Relaxing vacation home with extra touches

Great house to relax (large pool and yard) with family and friends. Extremely close to Kiptopeke State Park to enjoy the swimming beach, biking trails and lighted fishing pier. I know you’re on vacation but wonderful kitchen equipment to help you entice late risers with the smell of freshly baked muffins, cakes or quick breads. Highly recommend.

Nice family home away from the large crowds

The home was very nice and the host and her family were very accommodating. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. Thanks for letting us stay in your home!! Our children enjoyed the pool and slushie machine. The appliances were very nice and the little surprises left around the home for us were very thoughtful and sweet.

The house was exactly as described. Extremely clean! We had a group of 8 and we were very comfortable. Megan is an excellent hostess who is very thoughtful with the extra touches. She was quick to respond and answer all the questions. Her dad was great too. He quickly cleaned the pool one morning even though he stopped by for something else. The house is right next to the state park and 15 minutes from downtown, so a perfect location overall. Can't wait to book again next year!

Amazing family friendly getaway!!!

The home was exactly as advertised. It was very comfortable and exceptionally family friendly. Cape Charles is a beautiful little town and this home was the perfect place to stay! We were super close to the state park beach, which was phenomenal as we didn't feel the need to stay all day with the kids. We could go to the beach in the morning and come home and enjoy the pool for the remainder of the day. Megan was AMAZING throughout the whole process. Check in was simple, the special touches and goodies were perfect, and the welcome book had everything you needed to know. I would highly recommend this rental!!

I can't even put into words how phenomenal our stay was. This house is perfect - from the cozy beds and couches, to the beautiful porch and pool/patio area, we enjoyed every inch of this property. The back patio area is exactly as pictured - and I couldn't keep my kids out of the pool! The house is also very clean!! As an added bonus, Megan really puts thought into the extra touches - from the welcome basket to the smores and popcorn for movie nights, this was the perfect family vacation. So many happy family memories were made during our stay - thank you so much!Cape Charles is a beautiful small beach town, with an amazing fishing pier and shopping area. Kiptopeke State park is about a mile from the house, and has a perfect little beach and pier too. I highly recommend booking The Sandpiper for your next vacation!
