Great spot all around!

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.

Tucker family 2024 Cape Charles retreat

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!

Beach escape

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. I’d highly recommend this beautiful home for your next beach adventure

Family Vacation

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.

Wonderful

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.

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.

Wonderful home for a family wedding celebration

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.

Lovely historic home, big enough for families

This is an awesome rental house - beautifully updated, but with lots of historic touches and charm. It was very clean and comfortable and large enough for a big family with a cool attic room for the kids. Every room has its own bathroom which was really convenient. We loved having the pool and hot tub, plus a little yard for games and sports. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Vacationing on the Eastern Shore

Alyssa House was perfect for our family! Plenty of bedrooms and baths for all 13 of us! Such a lovely historic home, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub, the wonderful porches and making s’mores around the fire pit in the backyard! Kathy was a wonderful hostess and so helpful! We look forward to vacationing there again next summer and highly recommend Alyssa House!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Glaser 757-274-1589

I am a former Foreign Service Officer and spent 20 years living in countries around the world. I retired and moved to Cape Charles to be near family and enjoy this beautiful town.

Why they chose this property

This is my second house in Cape Charles. I fell in love with the beauty of this home. This house has a rich history and I am only the 3rd owner in 115 years.

What makes this property unique

The home is on 3 city lots giving me more outdoor space than most homes in town, This allowed me to put in an in-ground pool and still have yard for kids to play.
