Ashley was great, and so was the house! Perfect location, great communication, everything you could need was all available. Cape Charles is a special place for our family and we can honestly say that after renting many different places, Cape Escape felt like a home away from home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay! This house is very comfortable and the owners thought of it all! Renting the golf cart is a must do and provided comfortable transportation to the beach with chairs and bags. The location was good and we felt very safe. Cape Charles is a lovely town with gracious people, delicious food and very relaxing. We would love to rent again.

Perfect beach home
We had an awesome stay! Rental was very clean and very well stocked. The location was great and only a short walk to the beach. We opted for the golf cart rental which made getting to the beach and around town fun and easy. The doggies loved the fenced back yard! We really can’t find anything negative about our stay, it was perfect and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much for sharing your home with our family!!

Another Great Stay
This was our third trip to Cape Charles and second time staying at Cape Escape. Everything was absolutely great in the house and exactly as described in the listing. Everything was provided - plenty of linens, towels, paper products, detergents, etc. We were a group of six (2 parents, 2 grandparents, and 2 kids) and the setup met our needs perfectly. Both stays we've traveled with a pet and Ashley was perfectly accommodating. Check-in was seamless and we rolled right into our vacation. The location is great, just a couple of blocks to the beach. The historic section of Cape Charles is small, so everything is walkable or runnable, though we rented the golf cart too (a must!) in order to enjoy zipping around town. The house is also a block from the park, which made it easy to enjoy the Saturday evening concert even after a day of travel. Cape Charles is a very low-key vacation town. Almost everything shuts down by 8PM and it's pretty quiet throughout the day - exactly what we were seeking in a family vacation. You can relax, run, play in the park, go to the beach, check out the small shops, visit the local museum, or enjoy the restaurants/cafes. We didn't golf or fish, but those were also possible. All in all, Cape Charles and Cape Escape are both great places to visit and stay. Thanks again to Ashley and family for hosting us again!

Very comfortable home for our grown children and little dog!
We have been visiting Cape Charles every summer since 1987, both before and after children and a series of small dogs along the way. This “home away from home” was very accommodating for our family and just right for our preferences. Communication was very good and I knew that our quality of stay was important and valued by Ashley. We would certainly recommend as well as return in the future if possible.

The house was immaculate and very comfortable. The host was responsive to any questions. Highly recommend adding on the golf cart. Makes hauling stuff to the beach a breeze and although the town is small and very walkable, it’s convenient to have the cart. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Cape Charles.

We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful house. Every amenity that I can think of was available. It was clean and well decorated. We made wonderful memories and would definitely stay again. We enjoyed the golf cart and the location was close to everything we love in Cape Charles. The host was also wonderful and immediately responsive to any questions that we had. The fenced in back yard was great for a dog. We would go back tomorrow if we could!

Great Getaway
This was our first time visiting Cape Charles and we had a wonderful experience! The house was very comfortable and we appreciated that it was dog friendly. In fact, the whole town was very welcoming to Enzo (our dog). He enjoyed hanging out at the brewery, meeting the shop owners, and exploring the beach. The State Park was also a fun field trip! We would love to come back when the weather warms up a bit.

I cannot say enough good things about this house and the owner. The house was impeccably clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect. It offered everything we needed for a “home away from home” trip. We enjoyed the town and its surroundings and all the area had to offer, despite the weather not cooperating. The ability to have our dog with us was beyond priceless! Ashley was a phenomenal host and the whole experience was seamless. We will be back!! :)
