This was our second time staying here. We enjoy the proximity to the beach, the fenced backyard, and the golf cart. We were bummed the golf cart broke down during our stay and were unable to use it our final day. Host was quick with communication. House is stocked with paper products, soap, and cooking supplies. Would definitely stay here again.

Great back yard and nice spacious house. Golf cart didn’t charge quite right which made me nervous it would break down but it ended up lasting through our stay.

The property was perfect upon arrival. The kitchen had an ample amount of everything you would need for a week long vacation. Well appointed house, with a fenced in back yard for our dog! This rental came with a cart rental. The cart needed service and the owner brought their personal cart so we would have a seemless vacation! Highly recommend this property and we will be back!

The house was well equipped and welcoming. We loved the neighborhood as it was very pretty and less than two blocks from the beach. The owner provided a go cart, bikes, kayaks, and much more. Our family loved it. When we got home our two year old cried saying “I want to go back to the green house.”

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home this past weekend while participating in the CBES bike ride. The home is charming and the property is extremely clean. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. The golf cart is a great way to explore Cape Charles and we can't wait to return and use the kayaks. Many great amenities. I would highly recommend this property.

Overall it was a great location and a good house to have our family vacation in. Unfortunately there were a lot of fruit flies (we were warned but I still didn’t expect that many) and the backyard/deck needs some attention. We hosed down the golf cart to be able to drive it but the exterior would benefit from a power wash. Loved all the towels and the fact there were 5 beach chairs. Overall well stocked but we did have to buy paper towels and hand soap which I didn’t expect. The fence was secure for our dog and the keyless entry was nice. Distance from the beach was great!

Great communication with Adam and he was very accommodating to our needs. It helped us to make a birthday celebration special! Well-appointed home for our holiday weekend getaway and the golf cart is an excellent plus! Our Goldens enjoyed the backyard. Close to the beach and downtown shopping and restaurants. Cape Charles never disapoints!

From the moment we booked the Key Lime Cottage to the moment we left to head home our experience was outstanding! The home is beautiful and full of character and in an absolutely optimal location (1 1/2 block from beach, 1/2 block from park, and 3-4 blocks from Mason Ave). All the perks (kayaks, bikes, beach chairs, and other beach accessories), especially the golf cart really made our stay comfortable. The house was very clean and supplied with more than enough linens and pillows. We especially loved the large dining table that comfortable fit our whole family and how it was open to the living room. The air conditioning was amazing and made the home such a relief from the heat. We were also pleasantly surprised by how many outlets there were especially considering the home was about 100 years old! The front porch was huge with plenty of seating, such a nice way to end each evening. Adam was great with communication through booking and our stay and even let us know that we could check in early. Cape Charles is a truly a gem for many reasons and the Key Lime Cottage is amongst those!

We visited Cape Charles for a long weekend, and we could not have been happier with our stay at Key Lime Cottage. The home is in a great location - could not be more convenient for walking to the beach and the shops/restaurants. It was beautifully decorated and VERY clean. We wouldn’t change a thing. The owners have done a wonderful job in making their home an inviting and stress-free place to stay for a visit to Cape Charles. We plan on returning in the fall, and we can’t wait!

Our family loved everything about our Cape Charles stay. The house was clean, beautiful, conveniently located, and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful time. The host greeted us when we were checking in, and communication was clear and consistent throughout the whole process. Our only regret was that we needed to leave. We wish we could have stayed longer and definitely want to come back to Cape Charles and Key Lime Cottage.

Great house in a great location. We enjoyed our short stay in Cape Charles. The house is walking distance to the beach and the shops. Spacious inside and nicely decorated. We will definitely rent again. The only thing I would want others to know is that there are not any extras that you sometimes find in other rentals like cooking oil or pam spray in the kitchen, sugar, spices etc. If you bring something to cook you need to bring everything you’ll need for it. There is also no shampoo or conditioner or anything like that although every bathroom did have liquid hand soap. These are by no means deal breakers but just something to know. My husband and I both forgot shampoo but it was a quick trip to the nearby pharmacy to get a trial size. We will definitely rent here again but be super sure we have everything we need.

We enjoyed our stay at Key Lime cottage. The house was really nice with good indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen was stocked well for the small amount of cooking we did. Location is fantastic. As a bonus we watched a small family of House Finches who had nested in the front door wreath.

Loved everything about our week-long stay at Key Lime Cottage. Lovely, comfortable and clean home accommodated our family of 7. Wonderful large dining table was perfect for gathering around and for art projects. Streamed movies in the comfy living room. All the beds were very comfortable, and our teens loved the bunk bed room! Enjoyed the front porch and little enclosed back room that opened to the back deck…nice little space for reading, resting, playing guitar. We toured town with the golf cart, kayaked, wandered the beach, relaxed, stayed in and cooked more than going out because we just enjoyed being there! We also enjoyed horseback riding along Cherrystone Creek, farmland and woods with Esperanza Riding Co, visiting the Kiptopeke Wildlife Refuge, and seeing wild ponies at Assateague Island. Many thanks to Adam who was so helpful and communicative. We hope to come back sometime!

Beautiful, historic home in an extremely quiet location that is also close to the beach in one direction and restaurants and shops in another. There were just two of us, so we only used one bedroom, the kitchen, the porch, backyard deck and living area, but plenty of room for larger groups without being crowded. Furnishings were comfortable, appliances were new (loved the refrigerator), porch was great for coffee in the morning or playing cards in the afternoon. We only used it twice, but the golf cart seemed new and worked well, other than that we walked to everything. Nice selection of games and books. The shed had plenty of beach supplies and we used a couple of the beach chairs but didn't get a chance to play cornhole. As far as local places, our favorites were Kelly's and Table and Tonic (one is an Irish pub and the other a shop with a great selection of cocktail bitters and a great crab bloody mary mix). The Shanty, AJ's, Deadrise Pizza, and Cape Charles Brewery were also awesome. We loved the home and the town and hope to be back again soon!

We had a short stay in Cape Charles and booked The Key Lime Cottage. It was spacious and great proximity to the park, bay and downtown. Adam was an amazing host and gave us numerous recommendations for places to eat during our stay. Check in and check out were seamless. Adam was very responsive to any questions and checked in with us to make sure everything was up to par. I would definitely recommend booking the Key Lime Cottage for your stay in Cape Charles.

The property was perfect upon arrival. The kitchen had an ample amount of everything you would need for a week long vacation. Well appointed house, with a fenced in back yard for our dog! This rental came with a cart rental. The cart needed service and the owner brought their personal cart so we would have a seemless vacation! Highly recommend this property and we will be back!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home this past weekend while participating in the CBES bike ride. The home is charming and the property is extremely clean. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. The golf cart is a great way to explore Cape Charles and we can't wait to return and use the kayaks. Many great amenities. I would highly recommend this property.

Great communication with Adam and he was very accommodating to our needs. It helped us to make a birthday celebration special! Well-appointed home for our holiday weekend getaway and the golf cart is an excellent plus! Our Goldens enjoyed the backyard. Close to the beach and downtown shopping and restaurants. Cape Charles never disapoints!

Our family loved everything about our Cape Charles stay. The house was clean, beautiful, conveniently located, and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful time. The host greeted us when we were checking in, and communication was clear and consistent throughout the whole process. Our only regret was that we needed to leave. We wish we could have stayed longer and definitely want to come back to Cape Charles and Key Lime Cottage.

From the moment we booked the Key Lime Cottage to the moment we left to head home our experience was outstanding! The home is beautiful and full of character and in an absolutely optimal location (1 1/2 block from beach, 1/2 block from park, and 3-4 blocks from Mason Ave). All the perks (kayaks, bikes, beach chairs, and other beach accessories), especially the golf cart really made our stay comfortable. The house was very clean and supplied with more than enough linens and pillows. We especially loved the large dining table that comfortable fit our whole family and how it was open to the living room. The air conditioning was amazing and made the home such a relief from the heat. We were also pleasantly surprised by how many outlets there were especially considering the home was about 100 years old! The front porch was huge with plenty of seating, such a nice way to end each evening. Adam was great with communication through booking and our stay and even let us know that we could check in early. Cape Charles is a truly a gem for many reasons and the Key Lime Cottage is amongst those!

From the time we booked Key Lime Cottage until the time we checked out, everything went extremely smooth. The home is welcoming and a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The house is well furnished inside and includes many necessary beach items. Everyone enjoyed the stay at Cape Charles!

We visited Cape Charles for a long weekend, and we could not have been happier with our stay at Key Lime Cottage. The home is in a great location - could not be more convenient for walking to the beach and the shops/restaurants. It was beautifully decorated and VERY clean. We wouldn’t change a thing. The owners have done a wonderful job in making their home an inviting and stress-free place to stay for a visit to Cape Charles. We plan on returning in the fall, and we can’t wait!

This was our fourth time to Cape Charles, but our first time at Key Lime. The house was great. The location was so close to the beach and having the golf cart to get to town was the best. We brought our 3 children with us and the house had so much to entertain them!

Key Lime Cottage was fantastic! Close to the beach, the park, and shops. The house was cozy enough for all of us to eat dinner and watch TV together, and big enough for everyone to have their own rooms. The neighborhood is beautiful, and the neighbors were lovely! Cape Charles is beautiful and we will definitely visit again.

Overall it was a great location and a good house to have our family vacation in. Unfortunately there were a lot of fruit flies (we were warned but I still didn’t expect that many) and the backyard/deck needs some attention. We hosed down the golf cart to be able to drive it but the exterior would benefit from a power wash. Loved all the towels and the fact there were 5 beach chairs. Overall well stocked but we did have to buy paper towels and hand soap which I didn’t expect. The fence was secure for our dog and the keyless entry was nice. Distance from the beach was great!
