1886 Charming Cassat Cottage in Cape Charles, VA

The Captain's Cottage was originally built in 1886 and has recently undergone extensive renovations to create a home of charm, history, and comfort. Located a block away from Cape Charles's Central Park, four blocks from the beach, and two blocks from Mason Avenue, the Captain's Cottage is in a prime location in Cape Charles.

The Captain’s Cottage is a historic cassat cottage consisting of four bedrooms and two full baths. There are six beds to comfortably sleep up to nine guests total. The Mermaid bedroom has a queen-size bed; the Seahorse bedroom has a full-size bed; the Nautical bedroom has a twin-size bed and a twin-day bed trundle; the Captain’s Quarters bedroom has a king-size bed as well as its own private balcony. Each bedroom also has its own TV available for streaming and ample bedroom storage during your stay. There is a full bathroom on each floor. The downstairs bathroom features a relaxing soaking tub and a double-headed shower. The upstairs bathroom has a standing shower and a brand new single vanity with storage. Towels, shower essentials, and a hairdryer will be provided during your stay.

Downstairs there are two living spaces to gather, stream your favorite shows and movies, and relax. Off the living spaces, there is a small sitting room that features a built-in cabinet bar to enjoy a drink with friends and family. The bar will be equipped with a cocktail maker set, glasses, and an ice bucket. From the sitting room, you will find the beautiful eat-in kitchen outfitted with brand new stainless steel appliances, quartz and marble countertops, and a kitchen island with two barstools. The farmhouse table was originally from an estate sale on the Eastern Shore. The kitchen has all your essentials including a Keurig, french press, hot water kettle, toaster, pots, pans, utensils, spices, plates, and drinkware. Off the kitchen, there is a mudroom that has a washer and dryer, and beach essentials including beach towels, beach chairs, and a wagon.

In the fenced-in backyard, there is a beautiful new patio, dining, fireplace, and grill all under the outdoor cafe lights. The outdoor dining table was handmade by a local craftsman. Off the back patio, there is an outdoor shower to rinse off after visiting the beach. The front of the house has a wrap-around front porch with comfortable seating and a swing to enjoy coffee or tea in the morning.

The Captain’s Cottage is centrally-located and ready to host your next stay in the small beach town of Cape Charles, VA.

Parking is available in the back driveway behind the home. The driveway may fit 1-2 cars and/or a golf cart rental. There is a plug on the side of the shed to charge golf cart batteries. There is also free street parking in front of the home.
