Perfect for families with children; And for Two Families to Rent Side-by-side!

We offer BOTH mirror image sides of our vacation rental duplex, 303 and 305 Strawberry Street. We recently purchased this duplex and plan to continue the history of making memories for families for years to come! This 1925 duplex has beautiful soft light from tall windows and a great dining room to gather. Couples, small groups of friends, and families who want to slow down, go to the beach and the park, and relax in this walk-able small town should feel right at home.

Each side has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths - they are similar bot not identical. The atmosphere is sunny coastal with style-conscious kitchen and baths. The property has a fenced-in small yard with deck with table and 4 chairs, upscale grill, outdoor shower, and some beach gear for your convenience.

Our property is conveniently located at the crossroads of Cape Charles - an easy walk to "downtown", the beach, and across the street from Central Park. The duplex has a covered porch to enjoy your coffee in the morning overlooking the park and a back deck with table/chairs, umbrella and new gas grill, overlooking the fenced-in back yard with outdoor shower. The kitchen is newly equipped with upscale dishes and serving pieces if you like to entertain, Keurig coffee maker, electric and stovetop teapots. The kitchen also has a high chair, or youth chair if the tray is removed, plus children's dishes are provided.

WiFi internet is provided and a new 40" flat screen TV. We've added a few DVDs, games, and books in the dining room bookshelf, along with a few toys/puzzles.

Bedrooms: 1 with a king size bed, 1 with a double bed and 1 with 2 twin-size beds. Linens provided by a linen service.

There is an outdoor shower and small, fenced-in back yard. Beach gear that is provided to lighten the load of your travel here includes: 4 beach chairs, and a beach cart. Sometimes guests have left their purchases, e.g., fishing poles and crab nets, rather than take them home. There is a washer-dryer in the kitchen. For dog(s) approved in advance, dog bed is provided. A pet cleaning fee is charged for approved dogs. An additional cost of cleaning any furniture and bed spreads will be retained from your security deposit if the fur is found on the furniture and beds.

Cape Charles is embraced by water on three sides: commercial town harbor and yacht center (south), public beach (west), and marina (north). It's a wonderful setting if you love the water! Park Place is 3 blocks from the beach (Bay Ave.) and 2 blocks from the shops on main street (Mason Ave.). We are a mile from Bay Creek's two signature golf courses by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, with top ratings by Golf Digest. The area promotes eco-tourism opportunities, including kayaking (even kayak/wine-tasting trips to a local winery), fishing off the town pier, hiking, and birding. You can rent jet skis at the harbor, bicycles, and golf carts. The town often has festivals, planned recreational activities for children and adults, and sometimes shows, movies, or live bands in the Park. The Eastern Shore Birding and Wildlife Festival in early October - fall weather is great here! Festive Fridays for shopping and Christmas treats are held the month of December on Mason Avenue. Year-round, Cape Charles has live theater performed by Arts Enter and others at the Palace Theater, art galleries, a Brown Dog ice cream shop, ladies upscale consignment, and beautiful spa to name a few of the attractions in town! We have good eateries and, if you like nostalgia, be sure to stop by the lunch counter at Rayfield's pharmacy at the corner of Mason Ave. and Fig. Street. Cape Charles Medical Center is located on Mason Ave. too.

We had a wonderfully comfortable, relaxing stay. The property was very well equipped, the furniture was comfortable, and the location was fantastic. Very close to the center of town with easy access to the shops and restaurants, but on a lovely, quiet street with a park right across the road. The owner was very communicative before and during our stay.

Excellent location close to beach as well as park. Very clean and fully stocked with everything we could have needed. This is a historic home that has been updated, so there are some quirks due to the age of the house, but that just adds to the overall experience. Beds/mattresses were super comfortable.

This home was perfect for our family! With a park and playground right across the street, and the beach close by it allowed us to have a great vacation. The homeowner provided kitchen and bathroom essentials that made our stay easier. The outdoor shower was a great feature to have especially for after the beach. We loved how cozy and welcoming the space was. Mostly importantly, all the beds were comfortable and provided us with restful sleep.
