The Great Escape was wonderful! The house was clean upon arrival and the rental team was responsive to questions. We enjoyed Cape Charles. The front porch was a great place for our family to gather at the end of a beach day for adult cocktails.

Nice place

Had a good time. The rugs need a much more thorough cleaning. There are no kitchen knives and the dishwasher doesn’t work well. Location is wonderful and the house itself is beautiful. Thanks for having us!

Best Cape house yet!

My family has been coming to Cape Charles for the past 5 years and this house takes the cake for best rental so far! The house is spacious, clean, well decorated, in a fantastic location, and well stocked. Not to mention the property management team was responsive and helpful. On the "old" side of the cape, it's only a block to the park (perfect for the 2, 3, and 5 year old with us), a short walk or golf cart ride to town and the beach. It had a very nice screened in back porch with a big yard and an outdoor shower to boot. The layout of the house with 2 bedrooms downstairs and three upstairs along with 3 full baths worked great, as did the big living room and eating area. as an added bonus the water pressure was fantastic! Will definately book again!
