We had a fantastic stay here. The location is perfect and you can even hear the waves from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The master bathroom has a great shower as well! The outdoor shower and backyard were great for our kids after the beach. We will definitely be back!

Great Week in Cape Charles

The property was perfect for our group of three couples. Our family had a great time being so close to the beach and 'into town'. A great place to stay and will stay here again when we come back to Cape Charles.

Wonderful second stay!

We looked forward to our return stay and it didn’t disappoint! Beautiful, comfortable home - plus the screened porch, back yard, and being only steps away from the beach and downtown area are must haves.

Property exactly as described - Excellent! Stayed with a College classmate & wife and another couple. All in late 70's and 80, so one floor was a must. Clean, well stocked kitchen, pantry, and two coffee makers. Few minutes to the beach and beautiful sunsets. Will stay again!

Best week away

We love Cape Charles and coming back with this house was the right move. You are so close to the beach it makes it so easy with little kids to walk and carry all the beach items. The house was great and spacious and well done. We loved the week and hope to be back again!

We absolutely loved this little slice of paradise. The house is very practical yet cozy and private, and you can’t beat the location. The sunsets from here are stellar too. Lastly, the hosts were super friendly and helpful. We hope to be able to stay again here in the future!

Great house, great location

We've spent several summers at Sand Castle — both before and after the renovation a couple years ago. The renovation was really well done, and made an already great house even better. The hosts are very kind and easy to work with. We hope to stay again next year!
