Great house, nice furnishings

Wanted a private place on the water, pictures don’t show a new home built directly behind this house. The fire pit and hot tub are basically in the front yard of the new house. If privacy aren’t an issue and great views are all the matters then this place is perfect.

Wonderful beach vacation

This home was exactly what we wanted for our family vacation with little kids and grandparents. Plenty of room, very comfortable, clean, and so close to the beach. Not many people on the beach so it felt relatively private; water was gentle and good for kids. Fun to visit the town and then relax at the house by the water in such a peaceful spot.

The house has an unobstructed view of the Bay, is secluded and lovely. It is very well equipped.

Our family gathered here for a vacation after a busy action packed summer. The house offered a quiet retreat for us and we had a great time. Highly recommend this home.

Great time here!

We had our wedding here and it was great! No issues besides the internet being slow because of the remoteness of the property.

Terrific winter weekend get-away

We had a terrific 2 night stay, February 28-March 2. My daughter turned 16 and we brought her and some girlfriends out for a weekend of celebrating. The house was perfect. It's a beautiful home with a well-appointed kitchen and perfect bedrooms. Plenty of space for our group of 10 to sleep comfortably, and the common area worked well too. Winter can be a tough time in Cape Charles because some things shut down, so this house was terrific because the girls could use the hot tub and go for beach walks. We ordered pizzas and salads from Deadrise the first night, had a great lunch out at The Shanty and found that plenty of shops were open for meandering. Make sure you arrive on time for sunset; the views are incredible. Thanks so much. Hope to come back.

Jewel on the bay

Picketts Harbor is a wonderful retreat. We loved the walks along the secluded shore and enjoying the beautiful sunset over the bay. From the host to the caretakers, everyone was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The whole family enjoyed their stay!

Dolphin House

This was a great place for our family vacation. We had 13 people from three generations. There was more than enough room for us. The property manager was very quick to respond to inquiries. The check-in process was clearly explained and easy to do. We had a fantastic time at the beach! The waves were just right for our little ones. We liked the quiet location. Like previous reviews, the house was very well stocked. We would stay here again. Oh, and we got to see dolphins in the bay a few times!

Great for the whole family!

This was a great large home right on the beach! There were ten of us ... grandparents, 2 daughters & husbands, each with 2 young children. All adults had rooms with baths; all kids had a room to sleep in. Beautiful location. Beach was great! The host supplied towels, beach chairs and lots of water toys. Highly recommend!!!

Convenient location and beautiful views

The views of the bay are beautiful, especially at sunset. We rarely saw anyone else on the beach during our stay and found many interesting shells each day. The kayaks and life vests were a hit and it's a great spot to paddle out for a closer view of the dolphins. The host was very responsive and helpful. When we asked if we could rinse off using the outdoor shower (turned off for winterizing), the property manager came over the same morning and set it up. The home was very clean and welcoming and we enjoyed spending time there with family.

Great place

Well stocked and provisioned. My whole family had a wonderful time. The hot tub was a fun feature. We could not make the solo stove/fire pit work. There did not seem to be any shovel to clean out ash. Nevertheless, we had a great time. Manager was amazingly swift with all responses

Our favorite spot

This house is everything you’d imagine and more. This was our third year staying and we absolutely love it for our family. The location is incredible. The home is well kept and clean. The beds are quite comfortable and the extra twin beds in rooms make it easy to accommodate children. The owners are responsive and very kind. The beach: Wonderful calm swimming for all ages and beautiful beach. The kayaks were a wonderful addition, however the beach access was so rough this year it was nearly impossible to carry them down and up from the beach. Getting young children and beach gear up/down the rocky drop-off was quite a challenge this year despite being so close to the shore. The beach access is really the only thing that could improve with this amazing location. Everything on property is 10 stars, I just hope the price doesn’t continue to rise as it was quite an investment to stay this summer. Thanks for another great stay and for the family memories we’ve made here!

Home, Away from Home!!

The dolphin Bay house is the by far the best property we have been to. Very clean. Pat has provided for everything in the house. You will be amazed at the amenities. Did not have to carry a lot when we travelled to the property. We wanted a property on the beach for my son’s 10th birthday. Linda, the house cleaner, surprised my son by putting up placard outside the property and also leaving balloons related to Star Wars and Harry Potter. My son was super excited. We had a wonderful time on the property and also the beach which is almost like a private beach as there is no one around. The last day, we ended the trip by citing dolphins which made our trip complete. Would come back to this property again in heartbeat.

Stunning rare find the perfect birthday getaway

From seeing the photos and booking we realized this home would be special. Romy the manager was totally helpful and gave us accurate and speedy responses as the day of travel arrived. Once there she was always on hand to help. This is a secluded and stunner of a home. We all drew out breath arriving and seeing it in the flesh for the first time. Wow location, cleanliness and litererally everything is provided here. What's more the photos cannot do justice to what you will find. We have lots of experience renting homes and this is the rare time you won't need to bring anything with you for kitchen, bathrooms or bedrooms. What's more the fire pit, hot tub and kayaks were all clean, new and fully working. Even the life vests were not tatty and a joy to use. So expect to be pampered and for the location, comforts and design you won't get better on a coastal rental than this if you want seclusion and like to cook and entertain in. 5* in all respects and highly recommended.

Beautiful home in a perfect location

I stayed at this property with my extended family, and everyone agrees it was an amazing stay. The house is located on a very secluded beach on the bay. The water was very calm. Some days had gentle waves but nothing rough so great for kids. It is literally steps from the house to the beach path. The path is a bit steep but has a railing and is very short. It was so easy to go back and forth as needed. The house is brand new and gorgeous as well as spacious. It has a great layout to be able to spread out and also spend time together. A couple of the rooms have small twin rooms off them, and the kids loved sleeping in those cozy rooms. The deck is gorgeous, and there are I believe 5 tables outside, so there is always somewhere to sit in the shade. They also have extra touches most places don't have like beach chairs and towels, showers with full size bath products, soap in all the bathrooms, toilet paper and paper towels. They even had Keurig pods and a few snacks and basic supplies in the cabinets. There are also 2 washers and dryers and 2 refrigerators! The host was also very helpful and responsive. They live close by, which is great if anything is needed. I would certainly recommend this house to family/friend groups for a relaxing stay at the beach.
