⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My family and I traveled from Houston, Texas, for a series of lacrosse tournaments, and during some downtime we decided to visit Cape Charles. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. It had everything our family needed to relax and recharge after long days at the fields. The location was perfect—close enough to enjoy all the charm of Cape Charles while still offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. You can tell they truly care about providing a great experience for their guests. Cape Charles is such a hidden gem, and staying here made our visit even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend this vacation rental to anyone visiting the area, whether you’re traveling for sports, a family vacation, or just looking for a relaxing getaway. We hope to come back again someday!

Bay Creek is a wonderful resort community. This home was clean, well appointed. When at home, we mainly enjoyed the screened sunroom. It was so relaxing to have coffee out there in the mornings with the East sun streaming in and cocktails in the evening before heading to dinner. We stayed in the downstairs master bedroom which has a king bed. It was the hardest mattress I’ve slept on and could definitely use a mattress pad. The sauna pictured in the master bathroom had its wires disconnected so I gather it is not intended for renters use. This home could benefit from having a welcome notebook. There are so many remotes between ceiling fans, televisions, sound system, etc. and we never could figure out how to get regular channels and didn’t want to spend our limited time figuring out. The outdoor water hose had the water turned off so we were unable to rinse our beach gear off outside. The home is in a perfect location which to see not too far from the entrance making scooting
