I hate giving good reviews because I want to make sure I get my same week! This is our 3rd Summer in Coastal Charmer and it's perfect for our family and guests that come and go thru the week. Good space inside and out. Can't wait for 2022 or sooner!

We rented this house for a family vacation with extended family. It fit us all perfectly and is in a great, close to the beach and Mason Ave location. This is the third house we have rented in Cape Charles over the past few years and is one of our favorites, particularly the lovely front porch, well-appointed kitchen, and back yard with tons of seating options.<br/><br/>The only downside is that most of the mattresses were terribly uncomfortable and springy, especially the queen bedroom at the top of the steps which is coated in some kind of plastic covering. I (a married adult) ended up sleeping on the bottom of one of the bunk beds with my kids. The house could benefit from an actual vacuum cleaner (a dust buster on a stick is provided), a larger trash can in the kitchen and an extra garbage can outside as it was already full from the previous renters when we checked for our vacation (trash is picked up on Tuesdays).

The home was very nice, clean and in a great location--just a two block walk to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans etc. with plenty of seating. Everything seemed well maintained. We didn't use the backyard but it was a great set up with a table, fire pit, chairs etc. The front porch was so inviting and a great place to sit and enjoy the weather. The heat/AC worked well so the house was very comfortable (the beds were not, however. The protective mattress covering was noisy/crinkly.) One frustration was that the wagon that was supposed to be provided was broken. I contacted the management company and was told there were none available. I feel like they should have done more to find one as it was specifically cited as provided to make the walk to the beach easier. I am 8 months pregnant and ended up having to drive b/c I couldn't carry all of the beach gear. So much was closed during our stay, I wish I had realized that in the spring Mon-Wed are slow days without many entertainment/restaurant choices. It seemed like things would open up beginning Thursday. All in all it was a nice stay and I would recommend this property to anyone heading to Cape Charles.

We enjoyed our stay- this was our 2nd time renting this house for our group of 10 mom friends. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. The property manager was quick to reply when we needed something. The flies were really bad by the trash can- Is recommend some sort of fly trap. Thanks for the great stay- we’ll be back next year!

Cape Charles is our vacation destination of choice. This is the third time we have gathered children and grandchildren in a rental there and perhaps the best yet, even during a pandemic which kept us from enjoying shops and dining as much as in the past. When we return Coastal Charmer will be a high marker to meet in selecting a rental property.

Overall, we had a really great time here. The house appeared clean, has some really nice finishes, and had everything we needed. The location is great, close to everything (we had a golf cart). We had plenty of towels to get through the week. The rental company was very fast and responsive when we had trouble with the wifi password. The downsides we experienced; it was very rainy the day we arrived and there was a strong odor inside the house for the first couple of days. The neighbor is part of a cat rescue group, so there were cats all over the place outside (that wasn't a huge problem for us because our kids loved watching them). The back yard was nice, however it could have used a little tlc (grass was a little long, leaves on furniture, weeds growing).

This is our second Summer in Coastal Charmer, and once it again it didn't disappoint. Can't beat being just over a block from the beach and from shops so location is spot on. Love the space, the amenities and since we decided to cook more at home this year, the kitchen-eating space was exactly what we needed. Already have a hold on it for next year! Thank you Coastal Charmer and Chesapeake Properties for a nice stay!

Great location. Only 2 blocks from the beach. First impression walked into my dream kitchen. I wanted to cook everyday. Neighbors were friendly. Even in this day of social distances everyone waved at us and said hello. Only bad experience was the first night when we had no hot water but the management team got the service people out there by the next day and we had no other issues.

We had a great two night stay in the home I lived in until I was 17. It was a joy to see what the new owners had done to update the property. We visit Cape Charles every summer for a week but this was our first stay in the house I grew up in.

Two nights over Thanksgiving Holiday with children and grandchildren. Beautiful home in an ideal location.

We had a girls weekend that was beyond fun and relaxing. The location and the amenities were great. The house was super clean and comfortable minus one of the twin beds. The only complaint which can't be helped is the smell of the water. It would have been nice to have known ahead of time that this is a normal thing for the area!

The Coastal Charmer property is in a great location within easy walk to the beach and shops. The property was clean and the backyard is a great place for outdoor gatherings.

Perfect!

You couldn't ask for a better location. Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach or main street (though I recommend bikes for a really great time). The porch was perfect for enjoying the evenings and having your morning coffee. The recently renovated interior brought a modern feel to this 'ol house. I highly recommend this place, especially if you have more than just a few guests.

Great location. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. Easy to get out and explore the Eastern Shore. Quaint and cozy interior. Loved the old house feel with new wood floors with old uneven slope and custom door trimming. New on market this year so a few quirks which are easy to fix. Enjoyed the wagon and beach chairs. Good fun for adult kids and grandkids alike.

We went with a few of our dear friends and this was perfect - the kitchen was incredible and the location to beach was so convenient. Breakfast on the front porch was a dream. We would definitely rent here again.

Coastal Charmer is nicely renovated while still preserving the historic charm. Convenient for walking to the beach and Mason Street. We had a great time!

Had a few minor items that required maintenance man's assistance, but were resolved within the first hour we were there. Really appreciated how close we were to the beach. And loved the outdoor shower. Don't know why any beach house would not have one. Extremely close to all the shops and restaurants. Just 2 blocks from the main street.

The house is perfect! We took our family for the first time to Cape Charles and I'm so glad this was the house we found. Great location (just a few blocks from the beach. The set up is great for kids, hose them off in the outdoor shower and there is a regular shower just inside the door to push them right into and they are clean!! We met my sister's family and had plenty of room. Only suggestion is that if you will have more than 2 cars you might want to see what the rental office suggests because there are really only 2 places on the street to park in front of the house. We would absolutely rent again.
