Salt Box, One Block to the Beach
You can also Airbnb the other side of our duplex, Salt Box II!
The Salt Box is one side of an historic 1915 duplex. This two-story home is entirely private, with its own front and back door. Your side of the front porch is outfitted with rocking chairs, an important part of the laid back Cape Charles lifestyle, and your side of the back deck is outfitted with a gas grill.
Downstairs:
The first floor of The Salt Box has original hardwood floors and an open layout with the dining room in the front of the house, the den/tv room in the middle and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room in the back. The den can be closed off from the dining room and upstairs, which is great if part of your group goes to bed and others want to hang out downstairs. The smart TV streams Netflix, Hulu Live, Amazon Prime and more. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless appliances and is fully stocked with utensils, pots/pans, dishes and glasses. You'll also find a bar area complete with stemware, highball glasses, wine opener, etc.
**PLEASE NOTE**
The first floor bathroom shower is located in the separate laundry room right next to it (we assume prior owners wanted to come in the back and shower without tracking sand through the house). The laundry room door has a privacy latch.
Upstairs:
The upstairs primary bedroom on the front of the house features an upholstered California king bed with a plush 14" memory foam mattress, a middle bedroom with a queen bed and a smaller back bedroom with two single beds. All bedrooms have blackout curtains to ensure that you and your little ones get a great night's sleep. The upstairs bathroom has been recently renovated with shiplap and marble tile floor and shower. Cape Charles is very quiet at night so you're sure to wake up feeling refreshed.
The house has two separate HVAC zones, one downstairs and one upstairs.
Your Duplex Neighbors - Us!
We live right next door in the other side of the duplex, so we're very responsive if you need anything. We respect your privacy, so you're unlikely to see much of us unless you've contacted us. We have a sweet hound dog named Hali who loves to fulfill her guard dog duties by barking at the mailman but otherwise she's typically quiet.
Guests have access to the entire private rental, plus their side of the front porch, back deck and back yard.
We're available immediately via text - just let us know how we can help! We love welcoming guests to Cape Charles and are always happy to share our knowledge of the area.
Cape Charles has been described as a 'hidden gem' on the Chesapeake Bay and as Mayberry - both are correct! Our home is in the Historic District, which is brimming with beautifully restored Victorian homes. Walk a block to the beach for the most beautiful sunsets you've ever seen - we promise. We have a microbrewery, a cidery, two cozy pubs, a seafood shanty, a neighborhood pizza parlor, bakeries and coffeehouses, plus a wonderful new & used book shop just to name a few. If you want a super simple, laid back beach getaway with lots of parking and no crowds, this is it!
It couldn't be easier! Park your car right out front on the street and put the keys away because you won't need them until you head home. You can walk, bike (if you bring your own) or rent a golf cart and get anywhere you'd like to go in town in five minutes or less.
Please check out the guides in our listing for recommendations on local restaurants & fun activities! We're happy to provide any additional information you need at any time before or during your stay.
No pets of any type are allowed to visit or stay anywhere in the house or on the property. A $250 cleaning fee will apply if this rule is broken and guests will be required to vacate the property.

No smoking or vaping is permitted inside the house or outside the house on the porch, deck or property.
No crab/seafood boils or seafood deep fryers inside the house. A $250 cleaning fee will apply if this rule is broken.
Range hood exhaust fan must be used for all cooking.
No candles or other open flames (other than the grill provided) allowed on property.
No fireworks, sparklers, etc., allowed on the property.
Beach gear and other personal items (shoes, towels, strollers, etc.) should not be stored on the front porch in order to maintain the appearance of the historic district. Please use back deck or back yard.
Back yard can be used for lawn games (not front yard).
We live in a quiet neighborhood with full time residents and ask that our guests keep noise to a minimum, particularly after dark.
Thank you!!
