Getting Around:
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.

Summary: 11 of us got together to celebrate 50 years of friendship after meeting Freshman year in college. We've gathered annually for most of those 50 years. This was very special. The house was great! Nice and roomy which we've grown to appreciate over the years and well cared for. It was like a home. It was also so much fun to be able to walk to the beach and all the fun stores!

Summary: Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a group of old college friends, most of whom had not visited Cape Charles. All loved the town and the house. We had a few nit-picks about the house that we communicated in-person. We made great use of the front porch and the kitchen was a wonderful gathering area. The house was clean and well-appointed and the property manager was very responsive during our visit. We would highly recommend Tazewell House for any large group/family gathering.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I grew up in an older home, so when we found the Tazewell House, it was the next best thing to heaven and we felt right at home. It is a spacious beautiful home and a great location not too far from the water I would like to suggest a few things, the entire outside of the house needs to be power washed including the porch. The yard was poorly maintained and overgrown in order to keep sand out of the house. We use the hose in the front yard to spray the children off before they went in the house. It would be a positive for the owner to put a simple outdoor shower in . When we arrived, I felt like the downstairs was not clean properly. There was sand on the furniture as well as the floor. The kitchen trashcan was filthy . The bedroom that my husband and I stayed in had bathroom problems. The sink and tub did not drain well and the toilet would flush, but it would continue to run. The management was very dedicated and trying to fix the problem but I don’t think the problem was ever fixed. There was also a bug and ant problem in the house and honestly it needs to be addressed. The toaster in the kitchen did not work. These are all very minor things. The last thing I would like for the company to note is when you rent toward the end of the summer it does not look the same as if you rented at the beginning of the summer I almost feel like in someway the rent should be less. This is just a thought.
