My husband and 3 children had a great week at The Woodchuck! The house was very spacious and clean. Plenty of pots/pans for cooking etc. The location was perfect, not far from the beach. There were beach chairs and beach toys for our use in the shed. We rented a golf cart which made it convenient to get anywhere in town easily from the house. There is a park a couple blocks from the house. There is a train museum and hiking trails not far as well. The kids loved making s’mores in the firepit in the backyard. The neighbors were very friendly. The owners were very responsive and helpful even offered a welcome backseat with snacks! We had a very relaxing week, we will definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful home and lovely backyard close to town and the beach. Only problem was the house cleaning was not done on time or very well done. They need a new house cleaner.

Great house for our group of four adults and two children. My ONLY suggestion might be one more trash can. I’m afraid we filled the two up which doesn’t leave much room for the guests coming in behind us. Other than that, couldn’t have been any better.

beach weekend

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway at the beach. There was plenty of space for a family of 6 and the house was well appointed. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking. The location was great- 10 min walk to the beach or an easy drive with parking available. Would definitely recommend it!

Just right!

The home was very cute with an updated kitchen. Love the wide staircase! It was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 little ones (2 and 5yrs). Walking distance to the park and playground.

Comfortable, nicely appointed, well-done restoration

Really enjoyed our stay for our first visit to Cape Henry. Loved looking through the book detailing the restoration of the building. The location worked well for us - just about a block from the central park, and an easy walk to the beach or all the shops and restaurants downtown. Jim was excellent with communication, check-in could not have been easier. So many nice things included with this property, pretty much anything anyone could need and more. Very happy with our stay, if we make it back to town we'll be looking at this property first.

Great Cape Chuck stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Woodchuck! The home is exactly as advertised and well-appointed for a comfortable getaway. The upstairs temperature trends warmer than the first floor...we were there when the nights turn cool, so cracking a bedroom window did the trick. Owners were super with communication. With a golf cart (rented from a nearby business), it's an easy trip to downtown and most anywhere you'd want to go.

Wonderful home base in Cape Charles

All the old charm and convenience of the Cape Charles historic district with a recent renovation. Spacious, open first floor with a well appointed kitchen. Plenty of board games and toys for a rainy day. On the 2nd floor, there are super comfortable mattresses in the 2 larger bedrooms. Good A/C throughout. Outside, the fire pit is great for smores. Shady trees and a big yard are great for after dinner play. East-facing front porch is a plus (cooler, shadier in evenings). The only minor drawback is that the outdoor shower isn't enclosed, so it's just for rinsing off not full showers. Amazing house. We hope to be back next year!

Relaxing week

Charming and clean house. Felt like home from the moment we walked in. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Our 6 year old grand daughter loved the books and toys that were available for her. We spent most of our time on the back yard/patio area and at the nearby beach.

Cute home and convenient location to park & beach

We have stayed here for two years in a row now & love this location right next to the park. It’s an easy golf cart ride to the beach as well! We also love the convenience of the outdoor shower. The house & shed had everything we needed for our week at the beach! The owners were very helpful and responsive.
