GUEST ACCESS
Your group will have exclusive access to both Unit A on the first floor and Unit B on the second floor, along with the front porch, both screened porches, and backyard patio.
The units have separate private entrances and are not connected from inside the home. Unit A is accessed by four exterior steps, while Unit B is accessed via an exterior staircase.
Self check-in is available via keypads for both units.
GETTING AROUND
The Little Retreat is conveniently located in Cape Charles' Historic District, just two blocks from Central Park and approximately six blocks from the public beach. Local shops and restaurants are also within walking distance.
Many guests enjoy exploring town on foot, while a golf cart is a fun and convenient way to get around, especially when bringing gear to the beach. Golf carts are available to rent locally and are popular during peak season, so we recommend reserving one early if you'd like to have one during your stay. An outdoor extension cord is available for convenient golf cart charging at the property. If used, please return the cord to its designated location when finished and be sure it is not returned with your rental golf cart.
Free street parking is available.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
The Little Retreat consists of two separate accommodations with separate exterior entrances and no interior connection. Your reservation includes both units.
Families are welcome. The home is not fully childproofed, and children should be supervised at all times, particularly around the exterior staircase and outdoor areas.
For added peace of mind, the unit is equipped with smart water leak sensors beneath the kitchen and bathroom sinks and temperature monitoring devices. These systems help us quickly identify unexpected maintenance issues and do not record audio or video.
Traveling with a smaller group? Unit A and Unit B can also be booked individually, subject to availability. See our other listings for details.
