From a fun-filled itinerary to the perfect vacation rental, we'll help you plan an unforgettable esc

01/31/2022

Hello, friends! Erica here, with a bit of a marathon post. I’ve been running this account since 2019, when we bought a neglected old Dutch Colonial on Madison Avenue and started fixing her up. Since then, that house has become a thriving Airbnb, and we’ve started helping other local homeowners run their own vacation rentals. You may have been with us on part or even all of this journey. And now it’s time for our next chapter.

First off, I have the bittersweet pleasure of announcing that Cape Charles Cottage, our home on Madison, will very soon have new owners. Over the last few weeks, we have gotten to know the lovely family buying the house, and we feel confident it will be in good hands. They plan to continue running the house as an Airbnb and will honor all existing bookings. (I’ll be in touch soon with all current guests about transferring bookings.) Please follow Cape Charles Cottage on Instagram to continue getting updates!

Secondly, I’m also passing the reins of my vacation rental management business to two incredible ladies. Jamie and Sydney are the owners of Be Still Getaways, LLC and Carriage House Short Term Rentals. They are absolute pros in the world of short term rentals and Jamie in particular has been a huge inspiration to me throughout my hosting journey. I know they’re so excited to continue growing Cape Charles Escapes, and I hope you’ll continue supporting them!

As for our family, we are embracing the opportunity to simplify our lives a bit in 2022 and take a breather before moving on to our next projects. We’ll be spending a month in France this spring, and who knows? We may even check out some French fixer uppers. If you’d like to stay in touch, please follow my personal account on Instagram . Thanks for being a part of this journey, and I hope we’ll run into each other in Cape Charles one day soon!

Thank you to our follower for sharing this incredible capture from last weekend’s rare snowfall. And would you believe there’s more in the forecast?? This winter has been a doozy!

One of our favorite things about Cape Charles is how kid-friendly it is. It’s the kind of place where you can let your kids run ahead to the park, send them down the street to the bakery, or walk way, way out into the water to search for shells — where it’s still barely knee deep. Don’t be surprised if your little ones discover a new feeling of autonomy here that’ll make them want to return again and again!

Big thanks to our sweet guests at Sunshine Rays for sharing these beautiful snow photos! ❄️

Reminiscing on warmer days at Eyre Hall, home to some of the oldest gardens in the United States — and just up the road from Cape Charles! Be sure to add it to your to-do list while you’re in town.

The forecast was abysmal, but we were treated to an unbelievably beautiful New Year’s Day in Cape Charles. Let’s hope it’s a good omen for 2022! 🙏

Rain is in the forecast for New Year’s Day, but we’re still planning to carry on our Polar Plunge tradition! We’ll be gathering on the beach at Madison Avenue around 11 (I hear there will be adult beverages!) and plunging at noon.

Sadly the after party has been cancelled due to... you know. I guess that just means we’ll have to after party in our own homes! We’ve got big plans that involve biscuits and bloody Mary’s.🍹

Will we see you out there? Will you be plunging or just watching the madness under an umbrella? ☂️

Reminiscing on the past year in Cape Charles and the times we’ve spent here with friends and family. It’s definitely been one of the brightest spots of a tough year! Here’s to making more Cape Charles memories in 2022.

The first Festive Fridays was a resounding success! The shops were bustling, the sounds of caroling filled the streets, children lined up to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, and it seemed like everyone had a cup of steaming cocoa in hand. We’re so grateful to and so many volunteers for making this amazing event series happen, and we look forward to more of these events throughout the month of December!

11/26/2021

We are looking forward to doing some Christmas shopping in Cape Charles today and supporting the local businesses, then the first Festive Fridays this evening! See you there?
