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.

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!

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!
