This house is beautiful, looks like it has a lot of original details. It made a wonderful setting for our family to relax together. We had a small issue with the lights, and the owners were fantastic. They responded immediately, helped us fix the problem, and even sent an electrician to make sure everything was safe (he said it was likely a manufacturing issue with a lightbulb- no problems with the house). We had an excellent time, and hope to get back there soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this beach house. Located right across the street from the beach this house perfect place for a summer beach vacation.
We were 4 adults and two kids ages 3 & 5. There was plenty of room to relax either on the screened in porch or the livingroom after a day on the beach.
The kitchen was well stocked and the diningroom has plenty of seating.
The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable.
Located close to a park for kids as well as lots of restaurants and shops.
There was plenty to like about this house!

This was the perfect sized cottage for my daughter and her two sons ( 9 years and 10 years old). It is a quaint cottage style with all your basic needs. Having front and back screened porches is such nice convenient features. We used the back porch for all the beach equipment and the front porch for relaxing and quiet morning coffee times.
Bring your favorite DVD’s and games for rainy day
entertainment.
We had a wonderful time at the Bay View Beauty.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! It is much cuter in person than the pictures showed. Overall, the place was clean and we had all the amenities we needed during our stay. Mr. Rick called to check on us during our first day and that was appreciated. And, the close walk to the beach and shops was great. The front porch was our favorite place to drink coffee and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Quick little trip with my husband and it was just right. Communication with owner was clear and concise.
Breakfast @ Rayfield's, dinners at The Shanty and Deadrise Pizza were all good choices during our stay.
We would definitely like to return during the warmer months to take full advantage of the close proximity to the water.

I have stayed in Cape Charles many times, but this was our first visit to this property. The house was charming, clean, and in a great location. The hosts were extremely communicative, easy to reach, and very thorough. The welcome binder details everything you need to know. If you have small children, just be aware that it is very nicely decorated, i.e. many things your child could accidentally grab off a table or break. There is no high chair available, so be sure to bring your own if you need one. Unlike some other reviews, I did not find the notes to be intrusive, but rather very helpful for a smooth stay. My oldest daughter really enjoyed watching the VHS tapes, she had never seen one before!
The reason I gave this property a lower review was the lack of Wi-Fi. I have no idea why a property in an area with known spotty cell phone coverage would not provide Wi-Fi, this is a basic service in 2022. The hosts do not make this apparent until you have already paid and cannot get a refund. It is in the fine print of the listing. Your hot spot will not work if you do not have cell service, as many do not in Cape Charles. This was a safety issue for my family with young children as there is not even a landline provided in case of emergencies. For this reason, we will not be returning. It’s clear they will respond to my review by saying to use a hot spot or public wifi at the library, but this is unacceptable for the cost of the rental. I have informed the hosts of this issue via email.

We enjoyed our second stay at Bayview Beauty. As before, the location was excellent and the house was well-equipped. We also liked how the downstairs layout enabled us to close off rooms so kids and adults could control noise as needed. Rick and Christine were kind and responsive. We would definitely stay here on a later visit to Cape Charles!

Over 300 family members rented for this wedding. Most rentals were up dated, this unit is very tired. Poor mattress in all rooms, a sign on every item, directions on every item. Tub was not used, lots of rest etc. on the back of the tup. Very old (low) toilets - the owner should not list two bathrooms. A positive - location to beach,

Christine & Rick's Bayside Beauty is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or a week long vacation (we've done both!). Their communication before during and after our stay was just right. The location of the house, being 2 houses in from the beach is ideal for people of any age. The distance from the town is enough to feel connected but not feel up in all the hub bub. Although it's an older home you would not know it. Besides most homes in Cape Charles are historical - That's part of the charm. We'll be back!

Overall we had a lovely week at Cape Charles, but this property could use some updating and attention to details. By far the best part of the property is its screened in, shaded front porch, and its proximity to the beach. It was very convenient and pleasant to be so close to the oceanfront. Alas, I cannot be as complimentary of the interior of this property. There is no AC downstairs, and that is not made very clear in the listing. It was very hot when we arrived, and took a long time to cool things off upstairs (which is the only space where there is AC. The fans provided downstairs do little to help. The kitchen and bathrooms were all original to the house (probably 1950s), and were therefore old, stained, and outdated. The tub doesn’t drain well in the upstairs bathroom, (even after you follow the owners instructions NOT to turn on the water too much). the tub was stained and faucets/shower head were rusty and old, and the shower curtain liner was dingy orange and kept sticking to you while you tried to shower. There were ants in the kitchen, and the knives were so dull they barely cut anything. The beds sunk in the middle, the bedding was thin and poor quality, and the pillows were flat and old (some pillow cases had 2 pillows stuffed into them to try and compensate for this). All over the house were hand written instructions/rules left by the owner, for how to use things, which made it feel less like a relaxing and welcoming stay. The towels provided were of thin, cheap, motel quality, and they were all stained with what looked like was the makeup of the previous guests (even after being washed by housekeeping and presented to us as clean towels). I really hate to complain about properties but we were so uncomfortable and didn’t sleep well (and weren’t able to clean ourselves sufficiently) that i felt it necessary to be completely honest in this review. We knew we were coming into an older property, and didn’t expect things to be luxurious, but we were surprised at how truly unsettling many things were. I wouldn’t recommend this property unless you are ok with very modest, mediocre accommodations.

The whole process from start to finish was a breeze. Richard and Christine were a pleasure to speak with and were quick to respond with every correspondence. We cannot be happier with our experience.

My family very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners were a pleasure to deal with! The house was clean and had everything we needed! This location is PERFECT! A very short walk to the beach and just a few blocks from a cute shopping strip (food, ice cream, drinks etc.) - we walked everywhere! We loved the area so much and can't wait to go back!
