Key Lime Cottage: Your Cape Charles Beachside Retreat

Welcome to Key Lime Cottage, a fully renovated 1926 gem located just blocks from Cape Charles beach, Central Park, and downtown. Your stay includes a complimentary golf cart for breezy exploration! We've lovingly restored this classic four-square home to combine historic charm with modern comfort. Sun-drenched rooms await, featuring a convenient powder room on the main floor and two full bathrooms upstairs—one with a soaking tub.

Gather around a large dining table that seats 12 for family feasts, with an additional kids' table. Relax on sofas in a living room adorned with an eclectic book collection. Step outside to find ample seating on a spacious front porch equipped with ceiling fans for those warm days. The back deck offers a grill and dining setup, along with an outdoor shower for post-beach rinses.

Sleep soundly in one of four inviting bedrooms. Choose from three rooms with queen beds outfitted with premium mattresses, or opt for a 'kids’ room' featuring a bunk bed and twin trundle, sleeping up to five little ones or two adults. And for outdoor adventure? Two kayaks and three bikes are yours to enjoy.
