Getting Around:
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.

Bright and Well-Appointed Duplex in the Center of Town
The space was more than I hoped for. It was clean and spacious with a full bathroom on the first floor for anyone who decided to sleep in the back room rather than heading upstairs. Unfortunately, it rained for most of our stay, so we appreciated the huge selection of television channels/apps as well as the perfect card-playing table. Next time, we'll look forward to taking advantage of the cute back deck. And there will be a next time!
