Our newly renovated Victorian house is ideal for large families. Enjoy sitting out on our large front porch having your morning coffee and feel the cool bay breeze. Every bedroom has it's own bathroom. There are 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor that includes: 1 king bed and 3 queen beds. The 3rd floor is an ideal space for kids. There are 3 daybeds with trundles. There is also a kitchenette with a mini fridge and a futon. The house has a living room and a den. Our kitchen is fully equipped to cook meals. There is an outdoor shower and foot wash to make it convenient to wash off after you've come back from the beach. Bikes and beach toys are provided. The house is only 1 block from the beach and is walking distance to main street and the park. Cape Charles is ideal for a family vacation!

If bringing a dog, we require it to be potty trained, crated if left unattended and flea medication applied before arrival. We do charge a $175 non refundable pet fee.

Great location

Great location 2 blocks from the beach. House was perfect for two families. Our kids loved the bunk room and it was great that each bedroom has a bathroom. We also really enjoyed the front porch, which had plenty of seating.

July family vacation

We've vacationed in Cape Charles several times and find it to be perfect for our two grandchildren (ages 5 and 7). This house is spacious enough for our group and close to both the water and the ice cream store. Grand Escape is a very comfortable house with historic charm.

Wonderful week

This house had everything we needed or could think of--of all the houses we have stayed at this was the favorite. Spacious, full of toys, chairs, bikes--everything we needed--and so close to town. We will definitely rent this great house again!

Great home for a family getaway

Great renovated home that provided a comfortable landing for our multi-generational post-Christmas family getaway. Rooms are big and provide ample opportunity for people to gather, linger at the dinner table after dinner, or watch a movie together. Bedrooms are all on the second and third level; our adult sons loved taking over the third floor suite. House location is just 1 1/2 blocks off the beach, and Cape Charles has the perfect blend of a well kept small-town beach community that has a blend of old and new; great little downtown with restaurants, brewery and distillery and shops; community has sidewalks and great opportunities to walk in the neighborhood or along the beach. We did a day excursion to Yorktown which was fun. We'd definitely be back!

EXCELLENT!!

This is our second time at Grand Escape and we plan to book again. We LOVE everything about this house ... short walk to the beach, short walk to all the shops, 5 blocks to a great playground and park ... this house is in the perfect location! The house itself is everything you could possibly need with a beautiful front porch for rocking and family time. Our whole family LOVES Cape Charles and this house. It is our home away from home!

Festival Friday in Cape Charles

Family (7adults/3 children) visited cape Charles to attend festival Friday and other holiday events!! House was fantastic! Superb location. Walked to festival, restaurants and pubs. 5 bedrooms all with private bathrooms. Great common areas to gather in down stairs. This was our second stay here and have booked another week next summer. Can’t say enough good things about Grand Escape!

Beautiful house that was better than advertised!

The house was ready for us when we arrived, stocked with everything needed to accommodate a large group. The few issues that came up were addressed and corrected immediately. Located two blocks from the beach, it was perfect for our small grandkids to get to. Lots of room for everyone to be comfortable and plenty of bathrooms! Hope to return for another week sometime.

Amazing Place!

This home was absolutely perfect! The owners were very easy to work with, as well as extremely hospitable. They made the whole process as efficient and seamless as possible. There is ample space for everyone to hang out, newly renovated areas, and a shed with bikes, chairs, etc. to take to the beach, which is a very short walk away. In fact, the location is fantastic, as we walked just about everywhere we needed to go! All guests thanked me and commented on what a "great find" this house is and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in the Cape Charles area!
