This is our second time staying in Cape Charles and we loved this little cottage. Great location right on the big green/park area so our kids (11 & 9) could easily go out and roam around on their own. The outdoor furniture was pretty filthy when we took off the covers, but the property management was so nice to come over and really quickly work out a solution so we could enjoy the back deck. Beds were very comfortable (which is always hit or miss at a rental). We love Cape Charles and this was such a sweet little hideaway - we will definitely be back!

Great Space and Location
Our family of 4 with 2 young children enjoyed our stay in Cape Charles, especially the park access and front porch! The space worked really well for us overall. Our only 2 complaints were zero communication in response to inquiries in advance of our stay (both through vrbo and the property manager's email directly) and the HVAC system should be serviced.
Right away, we were impressed with the cleanliness and the tasteful style, making this feel more like a home than a rental. It felt very cozy and intimate, perfect for our family with little kids. The location across the park and near the playground was a plus. As was being four short blocks from the beach and Main Street. The house was really well stocked with extra paper goods, and the kitchen had all the knives, pots, bowls, dishes and glasses one would ever need. We will be back next year!

Quirky meets modern
The cottage was in a perfect location and amenities were good. However, it was not clean. One toilet was broken and the after-hours contact did not work. Once the office was open all was taken carroff. . The ladies in yhe office eere very helpful and friendly.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Hummingbird Cottage. It was so well located, right on the park, 5 minute walk to main drag (Mason Street), and 5 minute walk to the beach. The house is perfect for a family of four. The one level, open concept floor plan made watching the kids easy while we cooked and cleaned. We loved that we could walk right out and take our kids to the playground or a walk around the park.
The house is also so adorable. Every room was nicely decorated. They really thought of every cute little detail. It was a very nice mix of modern and antique like touches. The kitchen had modern appliances and was a pleasure to cook dinner in.
We loved sitting on the back porch at night and our kids loved running around the little backyard. There is a grill to use but we didn’t end up using it during our stay.
If you visit Cape Charles and have a small family I highly recommend you stay at the Hummingbird cottage. You won’t regret it!

Hummingbird Cottage was a great getaway. The house was comfortable and nice. The kitchen was well stocked, the front porch was wonderful right on the park, and the back deck was perfect for grilling. The location on the park and near the beach and restaurants was the best possible. The bath/shower in the second bedroom was the weak spot. It doesn’t drain well at all, the shower curtain hung narrowly around a claw tub leaves no room to not have it clinging to you and covers the shelves to put toiletries. We all ended up sharing the master shower. Otherwise it was lovely!

Lovely, well appointed cottage adjacent to the park. Our adult children and their families stayed at a big house near the beach. Hummingbird was a quiet retreat for us grandparents - minus the chaos of 4 kids under 10 years old.

Our family of three really enjoyed our week at the Hummingbird Cottage! It’s right across from the park and a short walk to the beach. Also a few blocks from the main street with lots of local shops and restaurants. The open concept living room was cozy and we loved hanging out on the back porch. The only drawback was not having an outdoor shower for when you come back from the beach. We miss Cape Charles already!

My husband and I stayed in the Hummingbird Cottage with our 3 year old. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The cottage was clean and the perfect amount of space for the 3 of us. It was fully stocked with all the necessities and everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect!
We loved this little cottage! It was one of the nicest, coziest and Cleanest places we have ever stayed. Furniture was comfortable and showers both had rainshower heads. Location was great! The very cool park was right in front of the house & it is within walking distance to the downtown and the Bay. Our first night we walked there just in time for the sunset. The only negative is the Wi-fi is a bit spotty. I was surprised to get real door keys instead of a code for a keypad but it made sense once I saw how historic the house is. It would not be right to install that there. Overall, I would highly recommend!
Cannot say enough good things about this house! An original Sears Kit home with ALLL THE CHARM! The master bed was very comfortable and the shower had amazing pressure! The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet and the fenced in back yard was great for our dog! BOOK IT!
This adorable historic Sears kit home is cozy and comfortable. The location is great- just a few blocks to the beach and to Mason Ave shops, so the whole town is walkable. It’s right across from the park and playground. One of the only negatives was that the master bedroom is very bright at 6 am (no blackout curtains), so this is a house for morning people. I would stay here again.
We enjoyed staying at the Hummingbird! What a great location right across from the park. It’s walking distance everywhere but we still rented a golf cart for the fun. Perfect trip with teens. We enjoyed the house’s decor, board games and comfy beds. Thanks!
Very enjoyable except for the very dirty air return filter and cover.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Disliked: Check-in
The property is an older single family home that is very comfortable and has been very well updated throughout. Of particular note was the exceptionally updated and outfitted kitchen...a vast array of pots/pans/lids as well as dining and serving utensils; knives; cleaning materials; etc. A highlight was that the property had a professional look of holiday decorations which was much appreciated. A property that is highly recommended also for its proximity to the community's downtown and beach. One concern was the rental manager's unreasonable insistence on a photo copy of the renter's driver's license and a photo immediately taken to compare with that of on the license! This requirement exposes the renter to unnecessary potential circulation of personal data.
