Fig Street Inn

What a gem in a perfect little bay city.

January 24, 2013

We needed a weekend getaway less than an hour from our home in Norfolk VA. I was a little sceptical after see their website but reviews were great. Wow! What a beauty! Greg and Donna are happy, love their home, sharp and inviting. The home was decorated with class (we got their paint colors before we left). The bed, sheets, towels and all amenities... first class and I am really picky here. Breakfast? OMG, homemade corn and blueberry muffins, my wife had the vegie omelette and I the fresh strawberry crepes. One of our top five and we have stayed at 100. Steve Van L.

Amazing Getaway

November 09, 2012

Was looking for a romantic quiet getaway for my girlfriend and I and the Fig Street Inn hit the nail on the head. Got the Boston Harbor Suite and absolutely enjoyed the beauty of the room and the whole inn. Greg and Donna are the perfect hosts and serve up a breakfast that I only wish I could make as well....and I fancy myself to be a pretty good cook. The muffins were absolutely the best I have ever had. We hadn't even made it to the CBBT on sunday when we started talking of a return trip.

My boyfriend, Robbie Bee, made all the arrangements to stay at this Bed and Breakfast. This is where he proposed to me:) Donna and Greg were incredible. Our room was immaculant and beautiful right down to every detail. The decor is just so beautiful in every room in the house. I have been in the hotel & restaurant field for over 30 years and this place, was by far, the most hopitable Bed and Breakfast I've ever been too. Breakfast was delicious and it was nice to feel so welcomed with Donna and Greg sharing their stories with us on how they came to open their place. Lots of hard work is in every detail of every room. We hated to leave, but we both will be returning soon. The value and service was extremely resonible too. They also have two little girls who are absolutely adorable and they are so well behaved. They both made you feel right at home like good friends and family. Love you guys, we'll be back soon.

Our first couple to get engaged at Fig Street Inn! We were so excited to be a part of this milestone and are truly honored they chose to share with us. We wish them a long life of health, joy, and laughter together!

Our Christmas gift to one another

February 10, 2012

We absolutely loved our stay at the Fig Street Inn! Beautifully appointed rooms in the whole house and very cozy and inviting. Our suite, the Boston Harbour Suite, was perfect for our stay, furnished with original beautiful hard wood floors and newly renovated bathroom and with all the extras that we have all come to love. Donna and Greg were accomodating to us being away from our four year old and moved breakfast to a later time to let us sleep in a bit. They were great hosts and made us feel right at home. We cannot wait to go back and stay a little longer and explore Cape Charles while coming back to Fig Street Inn for the evening and relaxing in the cozy atmosphere.

Thank you for the fantastic comments! We are truly lucky to have so many wonderful guests come through our doors.

First class!

We have stayed at many B&B's, but this was one of the best. The house was gloriously decorated for Christmas, and the breakfasts were wonderful. Highest recommendations. We will stay here again.

Thank you! We love the holidays and are glad you could stay with us and enjoy our decorations.

weekend getaway

January 18, 2012

We have been visiting Cape Charles for years but our trips have been in the summer so we have been able to camp. This past fall we spent a weekend in Cape Charles at the Fig Street Inn. We love the quaintness of the town and our love of Cape Charles extends to the Inn. Donna and Greg are wonderful hosts. The room was perfect, all the amenities of high end hotel in the coziness of your own space. We had breakfast both mornings, delicious made to order crapes one day and an omelet the second day. Its location was ideal. We were able to walk into town in the evening and close to the marina for dinner. If you are traveling the peninsula of Virginia I highly recommend a visit to Cape Charles and the Fig Street Inn.

Innkeeper Response
Our November weather was great and glad you could enjoy our town shops and restaurants. Thank you for your very kind review.

Great stay at the Fig Street Inn

October 18, 2011

My husband and I stayed in the Chesapeake Room for a weekend getaway for our 10th anniversary. Greg and Donna were wonderful in accommodating our late arrival on Friday night, and the food at breakfast was delicious. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed our two nights at the inn.

Innkeeper Response
The Chesapeake Room is my personal favorite and I'm glad you could experience it. Thank you for making us a part of your anniversary celebration!

Great first B&B experience! Charming, spacious, with great hosts.

This was our very first B&B experience, and the Fig Street Inn did not disappoint! Greg & Donna were excellent hosts, and their hospitality made you feel at home, but never smothered. After a warm welcome and a brief tour, we were told to make ourselves at home - which we did right away. The Inn is in a beautiful old mansion built in the late 1890s. My favorite feature was the very large wraparound porch - perfect for a quiet afternoon of reading or a great lunch location. Its corner location and expansive lot makes it feel very private. We stayed in the Barnegat room, which was really charming. The only bedroom downstairs, it offered great views out onto the yard and a private entrance (a great feature, since we were there for a wedding and were concerned about coming in late at night), but late risers should know that it is right next to the kitchen and you'll likely hear breakfast being prepared (but the smell of their signature muffins won't allow you to stay in bed long!). My favorite feature was the beautifully renovated bathroom, complete with toiletry amenities, magnifying mirror and super-plush bathrobes. All of the linens were really top of the line (I'm a sheet and towel snob!) and the bed was a temper-pedic. Needless to say, we were spoiled by the end of the weekend. By far, our favorite time of day was breakfast. Greg is an excellent chef and we truly enjoyed meeting and chatting with the other guests while enjoying maple & pecan pancakes, made-to-order omelets (on Sunday morning), fresh fruit and - the best part - Greg's signature muffins. The chocolate chip ones were to die for (I'm asking for the recipe!) and we hoped there were always a few left over each day. Those with a sweet tooth will love Donna's candy bar. I relived my teenage years with a handful of airheads and perhaps one too many peppermint patties!

Innkeeper Response
Our candy bar has been a huge hit, and peppermint patties are one of the favorites (ours too!). Thank you for noticing all the details and we're glad you enjoyed them.
