The property was great. We loved the pool. It was nice to have so much made available to us so we didnât need to pack as much, such as big beach towels. Kathy was extremely responsive.
Kathy welcomed us upon arrival. Always available to make sure we were comfortable. House beautiful, spacious, modern upgrades with a touch of history. Close enough to beach to get some exercise and walk. We did rent golf cart though to get all beach supplies to beach. Short walk to town center and stores. Pool super refreshing! Large enough too for large family. Grateful for opportunity to stay here. Thank you again, Kathy!
Perfect! The house is clean, modern, historic, roomy, comfortable, magnificent. Everybody loved the pool. An easy walk to the beach, pier, shops, restaurants and the beautiful town park with playground. Something for everyone! Our hostess Kathy was the best! Would absolutely stay here again.
Cape Charles is a quaint town with lots to do for families. The property was perfect for our multi family vacation affording everyone privacy (with private bathrooms) along with plenty of family gathering rooms! We highly recommend!
Cleane, comfortable, spacious! Everyone loved the accommodations , convenience, walkability to beach and shops.
One episode of fire alarm going off during the night which Kathy was responsive to!
This a great house in the heart of Cape Charles that is perfect for a large family stay. It is just as the pictures show , in great shape and was very clean on arrival. The owner was super pleasant and helpful through out our trip!
Had a blast in comfort and convenience staying in Cape Charles with the whole family at Alyssa House. Lots of space, great pool, and ease of getting to any location in town on for or golf cart.
This was the perfect place for our family summer vacation house! All the bedrooms had full baths and was perfect all the families we had there. The pool was a plus because we have 3 or more days of over 100° heat index and a place to relax while the were babies napping. Definitely recommend for a large group!
We had a wonderful stay at Alyssa House in Cape Charles. The house is beautiful, so well appointed and well stocked. Everyone loved it. There was plenty of room for our family in the house. The yard and pool are fantastic. The location is perfect and the host is very responsive and helpful.
The house is perfect for extended family gatherings. Large kitchen, front and back porches, and a pool. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Plus every bedroom and a private bathroom.
We celebrated my husbands birthday surrounded by family in this beautiful home. Kathy was a Perfect host and offered assistance with anything we needed. The town is quaint , friendly and the scenery is gorgeous. White sand beaches are in walking distance and there are shops, cafes and distilleries to enjoy. I loved the oysters at the distillery. Iâd highly recommend this beautiful home for your next beach adventure
Was a very nice property for a large group. All bedrooms were comfortable and everyone having their own bathroom was a huge bonus. We enjoyed the hot tub. We were disappointed in the pool. It was dirty and we didn't get in. Felt we could of used some instruction on that. Overall it was a great stay.
This house is so lovely and everything we needed was there. My sister and our families have been taking vacations together for the past 20 years up and down the east coast. This was our very favorite. We booked this house again while we were staying there. We range in ages 3 to 60 and it was hands down for a repeat at this house in Cape Charles. The hostess is the best.
What a great house! The pool is such a treat! Close to Mason avenue and not too far from the beach! Golf carts & bikes make beach going easy! Kathy is great! We will be back!
Beautiful and comfortable home, close to town shops, restaurants, and the beach. In Cape Charles, nothing is more than a quick walk or brief golf cart ride away! Great house for a family looking to enjoy it all with a terrific host nearby and responsive.
This home was amazing for our large group of 3 families (6 adults, 6 kids). Everyone enjoyed the space and location on Alyssaâs House and Kathy was a very prompt and gracious host. We will be back!
Really enjoyed our trip to cape charles. Kathy was wonderful. We had a great time, just wish the kitchen had been better stocked with cookware, knives, etc. for the size of the house it was really limited and we did a lot of cooking.
This home was ideal for 11 family members from around the country in town for our destination wedding in Cape Charles with many flying into Norfolk only about a 45 minute drive from this lovely home. The pool and hot tub and full bathrooms for each large bedroom were such a welcome treat! And Kathy was incredibly attentive to any questions or concerns that we had. We will have many great memories for years to come. The only major problem was with the VRBO website for the final payment which was very stressful. But the house and host were outstanding.
This was an amazing time with wonderful people. The house was roomy, clean and comfortable for all of us. 2 porches were an added bonus. We are already thinking ahead to next year.
Kathy's place is a beautifully restored stately home with lots of room and many modern bathrooms. Add in a great kitchen, fantastic pool, plus a hot tub and it really isn't missing anything you need for a large group trip to Cape Charles.
