Other Details to Note

This is an older home with quirks and charm so please be aware of this before booking. Here is our completely honest disclaimer so you know exactly what you are getting! • The sleeping loft with twin beds is accessed by a small, narrow staircase without a lot of headroom. Please use caution with it and know that it is not ideal for young children or those with difficulty climbing stairs. It is a super cool space but quirky! A lot of the time we have couples stay (which this house is perfect for) who don’t use the loft. For a small family like ours, our young kids LOVE getting to camp out up in the loft. • We are five blocks from the beach, so the space is best experienced either anticipating a short drive to the beach, or by planning on renting bikes or a golf cart which makes exploring historic Cape Charles super fun! • It’s a tiny house and the only one of its kind in Cape Charles … but … it is a TINY house. We love the little kitchen; however, it is not ideal for cooking a big meal. The shower is small as is the bathroom sink. We enjoy the space with our family of five, but definitely have to squeeze in! • It’s also a historic tiny house. Being at the beach the floors sometimes get a little dusty and, in the fall, leaves blow up on the patio. Occasionally, there will be bugs inside – again – it’s an older house at the beach and please expect some of these things as part of the charm! • The back sliding glass door is secured with a pole that slides in the bottom of the door. Just including this because we had one person complain (loudly) about this. • Finally – know that our cleaning fee is less than what our cleaner actually charges. Please be aware of this if you book – especially in the off season when you have the chance to book for killer rates as we like to allow as many people as possible to get to enjoy Summer Camp! We have the best cleaner on the Shore working with us, however it is hard to find reliable people in this somewhat remote location. Hopefully that’s why you’re pumped to stay in Cape Charles anyway … We’ve had a few people with different expectations stay with us and we do not want that to happen to you! We LOVE our tiny house and cherish the times we get to come stay. If you’re still as excited as we are to stay at Summer Camp after reading these notes, we think you will fall in love with it and Cape Charles, too!!

We really enjoyed staying at the beach cottage. It was so adorable, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Definitely plan on booking the cottage again. Highly recommend this cottage. Hosts were friendly and responsive.

My husband stayed here while on business and it was very charming! Katie was very responsive and friendly. It was a great experience and we’d definitely rebook if we’re ever in town again.

This place was so perfect for a weekend getaway! Clean, well stocked, comfortable. Super walkable area and the hosts were so responsive. It matches the description perfectly and was so cozy and that loft is so cool! We got a late checkout which was so kind and let us enjoy a lazy morning on our last day. We’ll be back to Summer Camp again!!

Find us

To access the beach you can walk directly down Madison or the alert behind our house. We prefer walking down the alley and then walking down Monroe Ave because the sidewalks are more accessible. Renting a golf cart is a great way to maximize enjoying the town!
