    This is our second visit to the Cape Charles House and from the moment we stepped in the doors we remembered why we loved it so much for the first time. The rooms are nicely decorated. The breakfast is delicious. And Bruce and Carol are so inviting. It was truely a home away from home. We think you will agree.

    We had a fantastic weekend in Cape Charles, and it had a lot to do with our accommodations. Carol Evans was a fantastic host and an amazing chef. We were very comfortable and specifically liked the reading material they had available on the history of Cape Charles. We will recommend staying at the Cape Charles house to everyone.

    We were in town for a couple of days for a wedding and had a wonderful time at the Cape Charles House. The room was well-appointed, the bed comfortable, and the hospitality terrific. Wine and cheese in the evening and a great breakfast in the morning. Bruce and Carol are a great couple, and Carol's cooking alone is worth the trip.
