Nicest place in CC!
We had an incredible weekend in Cape Charles at Drop Anchor. We've been renting places in CC for the past 10 years, and this was the cleanest and most well-appointed home we've ever rented. My husband and I invited 4 friends to CC for the weekend bc they had never been, and they fell in love with everything! The golf cart was amazing, and we had the best time. Timely responses and detailed notes and emails from property manager. Thank you so much for having us at Drop Anchor! We’ll definitely rent this beautiful home again!

PERFECT for our Family!!!
What a great home to relax and enjoy time together while experiencing beautiful and quant Cape Charles. Drop Anchor had all the amenities needed for a wonderful long weekend. This beautiful, very clean, comfortable and well stocked home was central to all activities and restaurants. The beds and linens were super comfy and we rested well in the quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed early morning sunrise coffee on the screened porch and then hopped on our rented carts and were able to explore all the natural beauty of the beaches, the community pool, the close-by museum, restaurants and down town shoppes. Coming home to lots of yard games provided was super fun. We would LOVE to rent Drop Anchor again next visit. Trey was awesome to work with - kind, helpful, and super fast to communicate. Highly recommend! Thank you, Trey for helping make our family weekend so special!

Wonderful stay
Wonderful stay in an immaculate house. Weather was a little rainy during our week but we had plenty of space to spread out and things to do for the teens. Enjoyed the ping pong table, paddle boards, multiple walks into the downtown area and local shops, and of course the nice calm sandy beach. Added benefit that all the chairs and towels we needed were ready and waiting. Bedrooms and kitchens were spacious and very clean. We cooked for 9-10 every night in the kitchen which was stocked with everything we needed for a large group. Host was easily accessible for a couple of questions we had, overall a very well-managed property and a lovely small town area.

Family beach vacation
Great house accommodations, close to the Bay and only a 50min drive to the Ocean. The town was quaint and close enough to walk. The property manager was quick to respond to questions and/or issues. The house was spotless, even the window sills were dust free! Would 100% recommend.

Amazing Property.
This is an exceptional place to stay. Beautiful home inside and out. Having owned a beach rental property before we were more aware of the essentials renters like to have to make their stay more enjoyable. This property exceeded our expectations. Very clean throughout and a well-outfitted kitchen. Also, very well-equipped for families with children. Many small details were thought of. Host was great to deal with and provided us with a lot of helpful information and made himself available to any questions or concerns. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in Cape Charles.

Beautiful rental
This was the nicest rental we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was completely equipped for cooking in as July 4th week is popular in Cape Charles. The amenities were far beyond anything we have experienced. Recently renovated, the decor was gorgeous and very upscale. The owner was immediately responsive for a couple questions. Being provided quality sheets, towels, beach towels, beach chairs was a plus. We spent alot of time outside with at least six areas to gather with our family. Will definitely rent again.

Great Property!
We had a great stay in Cape Charles! The house was beautiful and very well equipped with everything you could need. The optional golf cart rental was a great addition for our group and was very comparable to the local rental but a much nicer vehicle. Working with property management was a breeze, would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing get away.

Absolutely lovely property
I can't say enough about how beautifully furnished and clean this home was. Everything we needed for our stay at the beach (including things we hadn't even thought of) was there and in great condition. This house is thoughtfully organized, with wonderful private spaces in addition to generously-sized common areas for spending time together as a group. The owner was great with prompt communication and information about the property and the neighborhood. We loved our stay and really hope to be able to return to this house in the future.
