You will LOVE Virginia's nature!
If getting away from it all is what you desire, consider this; The Eastern Shore of Virginia is considered one of the last pristine coastal wilderness zones left on the east coast. Here you can wade in the warm, shallow waters of the Chesapeake in search of conch shells. Bike along the paved trails of Kiptopeke. Fish or crab from the local docks. Marvel at the beauty and intricacy of the turn-of-the-century architecture. Play 18 holes of golf at the Signature Arnold Palmer Golf Club. Stroll through the specialty shops of downtown Cape Charles. Enjoy the quiet solitude of nature as you kayak through the marshes and in lands. Take an eco-tour and discover the wonder and beauty of the longest stretch of natural coastline on the entire eastern seaboard. Watch the sun set over the bay. The unspoiled natural beauty, slower pace and genuine southern hospitality of Virginia's Eastern Shore just may cause you to reconsider your definition of the word "vacation". There is a beautiful feeling here in Cape Charles, a leave-your-cares-behind attitude that simply cannot be described. You have to experience it for yourself. Boat parking is available on a first reserve basis. Permission for boat parking will only be granted when a formal request is made and space is available.
Rate quoted is for a maximum occupancy of 6. Occupancy above 6 may incur additional charges. Rate does not include a $350 security deposit. A small amount of paper products (TP & paper towels) are provided to get you started. If these run out you will need to resupply for yourself.
Please note that a signed lease is needed to complete the reservation.

The proximity to Kiptopeke State Park enabled our group to enjoy the fishing pier, beach and trails. Cape Charles was a short drive away which gave us the opportunity to shop and visit the restaurants and brewery. Now if only it didn't rain most of the week, it would have been perfect!

We loved every second of our stay at this property! The location is 10/10! House is so spacious and has all the comforts of home. The swing on the back patio is lovely. Neighbors were quiet. There was never anyone staying the house adjoining us the whole time we were there. Couch is so comfy and plenty big for our family of four. All kinds of beach toys, chairs and coolers. Park has a playground which was great for our kids. Beach was not crowded, water was perfect. This stay was just what we needed. We wont stay anywhere else when we come back.Thank you, Fran!!!

We're a RV family, but our RV is still in the shop. Had to make last minute arrangements so we could still join friends who would be camping at Kiptopeke State Park. This condo was perfect for our family. We could easily walk, drive, or ride bikes into the park. A park pass was included with our stay, which was very helpful. The condo was clean and comfortable. We were able to do some things in the condo that would not have been possible in our RV - baked a birthday cake and had a big spaghetti dinner for 6 ppl. The condo owner was very helpful, too! Thanks for a great stay!

We booked at the last minute, coming in from another state. Fran worked w us via email to get paperwork signed etc to allow us to come into her lovely home. The house is spacious, comfortable, great kitchen, comfortable Master. Easy parking! Situated right outside the entrance to Kiptopeke State Park, which is so nice!
We were only in the house for two days, so we did not use the bikes provided or the beach chairs etc.
All amenities above what the norm woukd be. Town of Cape Charles, while small, is delightful! Beach area clean; area well kept.

The owner minimizes the smell of the water, the taste, and the impacts that such outgasing can have on your health even after being presented by article referencing the kind of outgasing we noticed ourselves. She does admit that it is a problem that supposedly is quite strong and impactful at times, but did nothing to rectify our situation. Since my husband is an expert at NASA in the area of fluids and gases and one of a few leading world experts in his particular area, I will believe the article and my husband's assessment of what he observed.

A very tidy and lovely home equipped with everything you need. Welcoming atmosphere, comfortable, and intentionally decorated. All of the little things mattered. From the consideration of leaving a Food Lion card for discounts, towels, additional equipment: bikes, games for rainy days, to the thoughtful gesture of restocking essentials for the next persons stay. What a great idea! Fran is a great host and there when you need her. She is very nice and thorough, communicative, and accommodating. Frans correspondence with the other residents, specifically the coordinator for boat parking, was extremely valuable to us. We were surprised at how organized & efficient the entire process was from start to finish. We had a great stay!

Very beautiful, nice, quiet, and well stock vacation home! My family and I had a wonderful experience while vacationing at the condo on the Eastern Shore. Fran was available for any and all of our questions and needs! We will definitely be back again for our next summer vacation!! Thanks Fran!!

Nice location, clean, roomy, accommodating! Close enough to many things. We liked the bike rides, state park beach, downtown Cape Charles, and visiting Virginia Beach for a day trip.

Fran was amazing to work with and the house was so clean! Typically, at a beach home, I feel like there is sand even when you first enter the house. This was not the case at all! It had all the comforts Of home and amenities that made the vacation easy to pack and plan for! We loved the secluded area and the park too. We would 100% vacation is n Fran’s property again!

Was as listed. We enjoyed the location. House is well appointed and everything worked. We really enjoyed the bikes and use of the park pass. Mattresses were comfortable. . Only upgrade I would recommend would be a gas grill.

Our overall stay was great. Very clean and good location. The satellite was down which was inconvenient because we love to watch Christmas movies as a family this time of year. Fran did try to get it fixed but had to call a technician out. The only thing I would change is get a larger TV for the living room area.

This beach house has everything you need and then some. It’s very cozy, clean, and well supplied with all your needs. We were most excited about the bikes in the garage, which we road down to the beach/dock and the toys in the house. There is also plenty of dvds to watch and a Nintendo 64. We enjoyed many home cooked meals here. The house was located in a very private quiet neighborhood just minutes from the beach and 15 minutes from Cape Charles, a cute small coastal town with lots of fun shops to spend an afternoon at. We will definitely look into staying here again in the future!

If you’re looking for a quiet beach getaway, this is it. Very close to the beach at Kiptopeke. A short drive to Cape Charles beach, shopping and restaurants. Owners were very responsive to all of our questions and had a well equipped house.

This house is terrific for families - our boys (3,7,9) had a blast - plenty of games and toys, the perfect bunk room, bikes, fishing poles and beach toys to use in the garage. The house has everything you could need - we had a terrific time! The only frustrating part was the tiny washing machine and all the laundry the host requests that you have done before you leave- made for a tricky last morning. But this was hardly a deal breaker on a wonderful stay.

We love the Kiptopeke Condominiums neighborhood and were disappointed when the place we usually stay was unavailable. Lucky for us, Fran's place was available and we are so glad! So nice with those extra touches like bikes for our girls, so we didn't need to wrangle our own on the bike rack. Although we did not use it,(close enough for us to walk!!) there is even a park pass so you can visit and park at Kiptopeke State Park at no cost.
Fran is very responsive if you need anything. Our favorite restaurant, Stingrays, is a quick 5 minutes from the condo for some yummy takeout. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to make breakfasts and lunches. All we needed to provide was food!
We can't wait for our next visit. You won't be sorry if you rent Fran's place!!!
