Relax on the deck overlooking the pool and the spacious backyard, perfect for volleyball, badminton, etc. Drive seconds just down the street to Virginia’s Premier Waterfront Kiptopeke Beach State Park on the Chesapeake Bay on Virginia’s Scenic Eastern Shore. There is so much to do at the Park, including a broad, sandy beach, swimming, boat ramp, fishing and crabbing pier, bird watching and hawk observatory, nature trail hiking, children's programs, bike trails and more. You'll easily understand why Kiptopeke Beach State Park is called the "Jewel in the Crown" of the extensive Virginia State Park System.
The ALMOST PARADISE Vacation Rental home is simply a luxurious first-class Vacation Retreat. The vibrant, beautiful hickory floors and cabinetry of this genuine Cedar and Pine Home with its high ceilings create a bright, cheerful, light filled interior. The large bedrooms have King beds with high quality mattresses and their own bathrooms, TVs, surround sound speakers, and they open on to spacious outside decks that surround the home on 3 sides. Kids have their own hide-away with a bunk bed and two single beds far away from the other bedrooms. In great room there is also a pull-out sofa that sleeps two.
ALMOST PARADISE is a vacation in itself. It has a spacious theater room with its 70" HD plasma TV with a dynamite surround sound system, and a refrigerator. The billiard area has an 8 ft. slate pool table. And the in-ground Swimming Pool at ALMOST PARADISE are both top of the line and are meticulously maintained in between each tenant. The pool has an automatic cover for your safety and cleanliness. The meticulously maintained yard is fenced and surrounded by beautiful evergreens, and it is a great place to picnic, play horse shoes, volley ball, etc.
The 2nd floor kitchen of ALMOST PARADISE has everything you need to cook a gourmet meal—all kinds of kitchen equipment, coffee pot, four-slot toaster, crab pot, microwave oven, cook top, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. Open to the kitchen is a spacious great room which features a gas log fireplace, a bar with bar stools, an 8 person dining table, high chair, pack n play, remote control surround sound stereo and a 52" plasma HD TV.
The nice laundry room has a commercial washer/dryer purchased in the Fall of 2018. Boaters will find plenty of parking space for their vehicles and boat trailers at ALMOST PARADISE, and they have nearby access to really great, deep water boat ramps at Kiptopeake Beach State Park where they can put in and boat the Chesapeake Bay or boat around the tip of the Eastern Shore and boat the Atlantic Ocean. Fishing guides are also available.
A Bicycle path leads to Kiptopeake Park where there are so many things to do. Sun bathe on the sandy beaches there and swim in the Chesapeake Bay. Fish or crab from the long pier. By all means hike the scenic Bayside nature trails. Participate in the many birding programs there and enjoy the infinite variety of birds flying down one of the Nation’s major flyways and through the Park. And Children can participate in the Parks nature programs specially designed for Children.
Could anyone wish for more for their Vacation than ALMOST PARADISE ?
Close to ALMOST PARADISE, on the Seaside, is the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge, which has a fascinating Visitor’s Center, emphasizing the Shore’s Flora and Fauna and the Shore’s way of life. The Refuge itself has much to see, including a huge gun from the Battleship Missouri (on which Japan surrendered) mounted in an old Bunker that once had these huge guns protecting the mouth of the Bay during World War II.
Guests of ALMOST PARADISE also have easy day-trips available to them. A little over an hour to the North, guests can visit NASA’s Wallops Visitor’s Center and Chincoteague and the Assateague Island National Seashore (U.S. National Park) with its wild ponies, lots of other wildlife and Atlantic Ocean Beaches. To the South across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Virginia Beach, with all its Oceanfront attractions, is a little less than an hour from ALMOST PARADISE, and the Bush Gardens Theme Park is about two hours away as is Virginia’s Historic Triangle of Williamsburg-Jamestown-Yorktown.

The property was in an excellent location for access to trails, the beach and Cape Charles. The multiple levels make hosting guests with different hours very easy. The open kitchen, great game room and pool are nice assets. And Sarah was a pleasure to deal with
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
I met up with some family out of state so there were 12 of us staying. We all had a wonderful time and wished it would have lasted longer. There was plenty of room for us (6 teens, 1 pre teen, 5 adults.) The only reason I knocked off a star is because we felt that we could have used some extra towels/wash cloths and the pots and pans in the kitchen could have used some updating. Other than that we a comfortable stay, the pool was nice, tons of games and recreation at the house and the beach was only a 1 mile walk/car ride. The kids really enjoyed the bikes. Sarah was really a big help at checkout, with 12 of us we left some items behind and she reached out and offered to ship what was left. We would definitely stay again.

We’ve stayed several times in the last 20 years. The house is convenient to the park and boat ramp.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2021
The house was clean, very nice inside and the kids loved the pool and game room! The host sending us fresh baked cookies on day 1 was a nice touch. It was a bit of a surprise to find out it's located on an off ramp and the giant chalet windows face a highway. Traffic isn't constant but I could hear it in the morning from the master BR on the 3rd floor. The neighbor's landscaper also decided to use a string trimmer at 7:30am waking us up another day. Totally not the hosts fault but if you're looking for scenery and silence it's not here. As for Cape Charles as a vacation destination, riding bikes and swimming in the bay at the State Park down the road was a nice option from this house. The town though has some very odd hours for their stores and other issues. Maybe due to COVID? Hard to know since this was our first visit. Many are closed until Wednesday or Thursday, or spots like the Distillery are only open 1-5 on Monday and then not again till Thursday. Restaurant options in town are limited too. Gingernut Pub was a basic Irish pub. Shanty's had a 2+ hour wait at 5:30 on a Tuesday. We tried Hook @ Harvey's but they only take reservations and serve small groups (there were 10 of us). Staff was very nice and gave us some other suggestions to check out. Oyster Farm may have been an option but is the most expensive one. We ended up at Don Valerios, a 10 minute drive back out of town and got great, affordable Mexican food and no long wait. Cape Charles Brewery was great, but also not in town. Dead Rise Pies makes some good pizza! We got takeout as wait times and large groups there are tough too. Unfortunately, many of the shops close by 5 or 6 so you can't pop in while you wait for a table. Cape Charles beach was not an option for swimming as soon as we got a whiff of the sewage plant on one side of town with views of the concrete plant across the water. We decided to take the 45 minute drive down to Virginia Beach instead one day so we could swim in the ocean. So this was a great host, and house (except those highway views) but definitely not the beach town we'd hoped for.
