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.

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.

Spacious, tidy apartment in the heart of Cape Charles

We stayed at this awesome property for a 4-day getaway, it was perfect for our family of 3. Walking distance to all of Cape Charles Main Street shops, as well as the beach and fishing pier. The apartment was amazingly spacious and clean, the kitchen fabulously well stocked, we really could not have asked for more. Would love to stay again on our next trip!

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.

Quaint in every way

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.

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.

Very helpful host. Really cute apartment and comfortable bed. Just needs a floor lamp between sofa and chair because the ceiling light is so bright and the remote to lower the light wasn’t working. It was decorated SO cute and we really enjoyed the private outdoor deck! Everything we needed was provided and it was great to be able to walk to all the shops and still be only a couple blocks from the beach. Couldn’t have been a better location!! We had a wonderful stay!

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.

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.

The property manager was easy to work with. Only negative thing was the deck. We like to enjoy our morning coffee and evening cocktails outside but was not able due to the deck conditions rusty furniture no cushions although the manager did send over 2 chair cushions the deck itself was filthy with bird droppings and dirt and vines growing everywhere. I would suggest the management company give the deck a complete overhaul. Given that I would recommend the property to friends.

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.
