Cape Charles Estate Summary

Escape to the Chesapeake Bay and relax in a luxurious Mediterranean style home. This magnificent getaway is tucked away in the Southern Eastern Shore of Virginia, across from a field and a forest, surrounded by exquisite gardens, and overlooking the Chesapeake Bay on a 40 foot bluff. Enjoy a soothing waterfall, walk through the various pebble paths, and down the rustic staircase to the sandy shores of the Chesapeake Bay to enjoy 185 feet of private beach. The Master bedroom is on the 4th floor with a breath taking view through wide bay windows, and you can take in the moon at night through the skylights above. Every bedroom has its own sink, so morning bathroom traffic is reduced. The third floor features a balcony, overlooking the Bay. 4 Bedrooms and 2 Full Bathrooms are located on the 2nd floor, and the 1st floor is a large basement, with an entertainment system/work out room, disco ball and dance floor. This house is ideal for a family getaway, reunion, or celebration.

The Eastern Shore of Virginia is one of the last remaining undeveloped areas on the East Coast. If you are looking for solitude, peace and tranquility, then this is the place for you! Enjoy a quiet beach, various nature trails and marsh tours done on kayak. Looking for something more exhilarating, the Eastern Shore is quickly becoming a hot-spot for Kite-surfing, and lessons are available. The small town of Cape Charles is just north of our rental, and it features a 5 star Arnold Palmer/Jack Nicklaus Golf Course at Bay Creek Resort, paired with a beautiful Marina if you choose to come by boat! Charter Fishing, both on the Chesapeake and Deep-Sea Atlantic, are available for day trips; there are horse trails, bird watching spots, live theater, historical ruins from the Civil War and World War II, and more quaint restaurants and boutiques than you can visit in a single week! But no matter what, you can't beat the peace and quiet of the Chesapeake Bay in your back yard!

Cape Charles Estate Details

Tranquility: The Eastern Shore is tranquil. This beautiful house will provide all the serenity and quiet you could possibly want! Wake up each morning to the sound of crashing waves, and fall asleep each night after a glorious, vibrant sunset. Gaze at the stars, and breathe the clean salt air that makes the Eastern Shore unique! There are miles and miles of beach and trails to walk where you will not run into another soul for hours.

Adventure and History: The Eastern Shore has an amazing history and amazing scenery! Just 2 miles from your vacation home are Civil War battlements, used for POW's. Less than a mile down the beach is a WWII submarine tower. The Virginia Wildlife Conservation Park features miles and miles of trails, and less than 15 minute walk along the beach will take you to SouthEast Expeditions, a provider of kayak and kayak tours. Go explore the Barrier Islands, the natural protective formations on the Atlantic Ocean Side; climb the light towers or stay over night in the public cabins. Just 15 minutes north on Route 13, you can visit Historic Eastville and browse some of the oldest documents in the Nation. Take a charter fishing boat up the Chesapeake Bay for flounder, drum and rock fish, or test your strength out on the Atlantic on any of the many available deep-sea fishing charters. Don't forget deer season! The Eastern Shore is famous for its healthy deer population and hunter friendly license fees!

Unique: The Eastern Shore is truly unique. Somehow, this place has almost completely deterred development, and in doing so, one cannot help but be overcome by its natural and appealing charm. There is no traffic, there is no light pollution, there is no noise! There are spots where you can see the sun rise and the sun set on the water and never have to move! Wildlife is plenteous, ranging from deer to fox to wild birds, swan and a fantastic array of owl, osprey and predatory birds. There are more tucked away little towns than can be listed on a map, each with its own character, its own history, and its own unchanged facade of what we have all moved away from in our globalized society. How many other places have a 17 mile bridge connecting them to the nearest metropolis area? Come to the Eastern Shore and step back in time...

Golf: Bay Creek Golf Course is a recent development on the Eastern Shore that has merited raving reviews! 36 holes overlooking the Chesapeake Bay! Designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, Bay Creek is slowly gaining the reputation as one of the most challenging and by far the most beautiful golf courses in the world.

Other Activities: Weekly Art Classes, Art and Recreational Summer Camps, Kayaking, Kite Surfing, SkimBoarding, Scooter Rentals, Beach Buggies
