About this property

Beautifully Renovated Cottage

From the front porch to the back deck, this beautifully renovated vacation home says WELCOME. WhimSea is a quirky little house full of surprises. Enter the open concept living room, dining area and kitchen with access to the beautifully maintained backyard and deck. A convenient, first-floor half bath resembles an outhouse turned fish shack, complete with antique sink and slate shingle roof. Walk up to the second level to two large master bedrooms, each with a queen size bed and en suite bath. One features a luxurious soaking tub, shower and bidet. The other boasts a large shower, designed for two. A convenient second floor laundry is available. The living room has a queen pull out sofa for additional sleeping.
If you must bring your work with you, this home offers a work station and monitor.
Features like reclaimed doors, repurposed hardwood, antiques, stained glass, light-hearted garden accents, mermaids and season-long blooms make this a truly special place for couples, friends and small families.
Cape Charles has a beautiful Chesapeake Bay beach and fishing pier (no need for a fishing license, the town pays for it).
Rent a golf cart while you're here and explore the town with wonderful shopping , great restaurants, marinas, ice cream, candy shops, library and pharmacy. The best part are the amazing sunsets most nights.
Cape Charles is poised for great day trips to Virginia Beach, the Aquarium, Williamsburg and Busch Gardens across the impressive Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Travel north to Chincoteague to see the wild ponies and spend an afternoon on the Atlantic Ocean.

The house was perfect for our family of 5 and it is so convenient to everything in town. The house felt like home and we had a wonderful vacation!

A delightful place to stay in CC
This home was thoughtfully renovated with just enough quirkiness and fun. Kudos to the owners. The back yard, too, is most pleasant, and it is in a lovely quiet neighborhood. Everything worked exceedingly well for the four of us; couldn't have been any better. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Comfy and cozy with all the right touches
This property was absolutely wonderful. From the second we walked in it felt like a home away from home. Each item seemed to be chosen to make the property comfortable - the throw blankets in the living room, the well-stocked kitchen, the extra beach essentials in the backyard - we didn't have to worry about a thing! It was one of the most thoughtfully prepared rental places I have ever encountered! I highly recommend the property and would love to return soon.

Great House
We loved this property and thought that it was just as advertised. We loved the big porch for sitting outside. It had everything we needed. The only issue we had was the upstairs was very hot (and one ceiling fan did not work). We didn’t sleep much so be prepared. We also would have loved to seen some type of house manual or book for things such as where to plug-in the golf cart or how to work the Roku. It’s a great space for a small group.

Third trip to Cape Charles
Weather was typical Cape Charles weather and the time spent around town was great. The house was fine. A few small things, there is an open live wire under the TV exposed (hope it's not live), the outlet plug in for the golf cart was broke along the fence in the back yard. It appears the house is currently being renovated. There were some unfinished work on the porch and inside that should have been completed prior to rental. The lot next to the house was cleared all week long causing a lot of loud noise and sawdust all over the place. It prohibited the use of the back deck for the week. However, we understand that this work had to be done and was not required to be coordinated with the adjoing properties, it just made for a lousy week of chainsawing and heavy equipment noise from 8am-5pm every day. The house is very nice and we wished we could have enjoyed all of the updates inside and out. We would gladly rent this property again in the future. We appreciate the rental company and the owners for working with us on the adjoining lot clearing work all week. Thank you very much and we look forward to coming back to Cape Charles soon!

Place was amazing - back yard was great love this little town
Started off poorly with not being able to access the house when we arrrived into town late. Unfortunately The emergency number provided for the rental company and we spent several hours calling VBRO - which had hour wait times to get connected as well as calling the rental Humber over and over. Finally in the morning - not a second earlier than 8:00 am when the office opened - a gentleman gave us keys. We were refunded the first day and I thought that was fair. Once this hiccup was resolved the rest of the trip was great amd ed forgotten about it - thanks
