Family Reunion
Yes, it’s an old house. Plenty of sleeping space, and yard space. The outside of property (lawn) grass not cut, shrubs overgrown. Garden hose lying out on the grass. The BBQ grill was filthy! Two doorknobs came apart. Some of the windows couldn’t be locked. No screens on the windows, couldn’t allow any fresh air in without letting the knots & flies in. The curtains that was in the one bedroom & living room downstairs were old, dusty & too small for the windows! Cobwebs over my bed, in the kitchen on the light fixtures, etc. Dust everywhere. Old pot and pans just thrown in the cabinets. Linen just in there! I could go on. I have pictures!!! Where can I load them?

Not perfect, but would stay again
The house is huge and very comfortable. I'd say it needs a few improvements (we had a doorknob that keep falling and the couple would be locked in the room, the cloth iron was no good). Great amount of sheets and towels. It's not dar from Cape Charles beach. Communicaton with property manager was not good.

Unforgettable Reunion at The Fishing Cottage: Bonds Strengthened Across Continents
Among all the incredible reunions we've experienced, this one undoubtedly takes the crown. The Fishing Cottage served as the perfect backdrop for our gathering, bringing us together after journeys from as far as London and Japan, as well as those who drove up locally. The genuine warmth of your hospitality truly made the difference, and it seemed like everyone had an absolute blast. Anticipation is already building for our next reunion – we're eagerly looking forward to it!

Family fun
Awesome place. Older house, but very spacious and cool All beds were very comfortable. One minor complaint is the lack of a closet in the king room downstairs. The beach at Cape Charles was wonderful, not crowded and we loved swimming in the bay. Close to Virginia Beach, but the bridge toll was ridiculous I can't say enough good about this place.

A Mixed Bag
I will start by saying that cleanliness of accommodations is always very important to me. I will also say I read all the previous reviews & really considered the ones that said those who complained of insects/flies & lack of cleanliness didn't fully consider the country location & age of the home. I've lived in the country & I've lived in very old homes & thought I was adequately prepared. The Excellent: Location to all that Kiptopeke & CC offer Quiet setting with beautiful cornfields Size of home & rooms easily accommodated 8 adults, 1 toddler, & 1 senior dog Water pressure! The Good: Bedding was clean Ample furniture for sleeping, lounging, & eating Laundry room with really good washer/dryer Bathroom supplies The Needs Improvement: While the bedrooms/bedding were clean/tidy & the bathrooms were very dated but mostly clean, the kitchen was dirty. Wear & tear was expected, but the drips of goo, stains, the dirty shelving with dead gnats & insects and film of dust stuck to lightly greasy surfaces were not. We entered to find more than a dozen slow flies already in the home. During our stay, more beetles, moths, gnats, & ants coming out of the light switch when turned on joined us. We were careful when opening the door, but they seemed to originate from inside the home, as if we disturbed them. Spotty wi-fi. VERY dirty windows I cleaned several areas upon arrival, but it was too much to address completely. If it were cleaner, I'd stay again.

Beautiful rural setting
We stumbled upon this listing and totally took a gamble coming to Cape Charles for our family had never been to the area. If you like peace & quiet, and open spaces, this sweet farmhouse is for you. The home has plenty of room. Kids settled into their rooms. The pup enjoyed roaming the yard. The views were gorgeous. I read reviews that the house was dirty. Not so much dirty as it is a seasoned, older home. The location was pretty great because it was close the historic shops & restaurants, and close to beaches. Our favorite beach was the Kiptopeke State Park. You pay $7 to park. The beach is dog friendly on one side of the 2-part beach. We visited over 4th of July and totally prepared for obnoxious, over crowded beaches. But we were pleasantly surprised. We came a little later in the afternoon, around 3pm and basically had the place to ourselves. All the restaurants were good. The prices were hard to come to terms with ($20 burgers). Foodlion is down the street from the house. We grilled steaks a couple of the nights. It was really good. My whole family, including the dog had a great experience here.

Excellent location; not bad on the wallet
This rental is an older home with quaint, country charm. It is in an excellent location to access the state park as well as historic Cape Charles. The bedrooms are as described, with two being generously sized. The king bedroom downstairs lacks a closet and anywhere to put your clothes. The kitchen is stocked with a miss match of items. There are plenty of plates and glassware; silverware could have been better with numbers for a house that holds a large group. There are only two full baths so take that into consideration when booking a larger number. The host was generous with towels, paper products, soaps, and shampoo. There is a nice screened porch to sit and catch a breeze. The back yard has a small fire pit and proved to be a nice place to sit and socialize. There was a problem with the septic system (downstairs toilet not flushing well and kitchen sink not draining) but a call to the hostess resolved that issue.

rustic farmhouse needs some TLC
rustic farm house with large rooms and plenty of space to spread out, and a large dining table for our family reunion. queen beds were comfortable however the twin beds had no support. cold ac and plenty of hot water. many towels were provided but many were stained. overall could use some attention to cleaning details throughout. kitchen supplies are limited (pots without lids, incomplete dish set) so pick up paper plates, bowls, cups from the food lion 5 min way. nice firepit and large outdoor space safe from the road for the kids to play. look for the hidden antique sewing machine.

Very old house
We chose this house because we couldn’t find any available house near Kiptopeke park. The house was very old with very old furnitures with stains. We found the laundry room with spider webs and dirty socks hanging in the wall hooks. The metal odor from the water was very strong. We saw dead bugs in the windows and live bugs will fly inside the house which we should have thought for a house in the farm but we didn’t thing it would be this bad. Unless you want to experience a real old farm life I wouldn’t recommend this house.

Perfect for a large group
This is space was exactly what we needed for a group of 15 people! Rooms were spacious, common areas were large and had plenty of seating. House was a little older than it looked in pictures but for us it was part of the farm house charm. The rest of our family booked the sister house across the “street” (dirt road), perfect set up!

The pictures of the furniture in the house was not what was in the house. The house was not clean and it needs to updated and dusted. I enjoyed the peace and quiet but the house was not worth the price.

Great rental
Had a great weekend. Cute little farm house. Nice big property. Lots of room for the kids to run and play. Only mark down was for dust. My sister has allergies to dust and unfortunately there was a lot of dust under beds and on lights Etc. Otherwise we had a great weekend. And had all we needed.
