Top Barrier Island Museum Hotel Reviews

The Captain's Quarters located in Cape Charles, VA offers breathtaking views.

10/10 Excellent

"What a great location. In the heart of the harbor above the yacht club office. Close to the cute little village of Cape Charles. Quite charming really."

The Crows Nest. <br>Sunsets at the Harbor. Enjoy bird’s eye view. Unique location!

10/10 Excellent

"The rental is exactly as described, clean, comfortable and in a beautiful setting. Basically in a Marina surrounded by boats. The rental process was seamless from booking through checkout.Renters should know this apartment is above a very good restaurant so you will have some sound from the kitchen and restaurant patrons. Cooking aromas come and go as well. The restaurant is Hook @ Harvey and is exceptional!There is a Kuerig coffee machine but No K Cups so take your own. The unit has step stairs to enter so if you have trouble with stairs beware. The outside trash can placement near the entry is problematic for flies entering the apartment while you are entering.These are NOT complaints but notes for the owners and renters. We loved the place and would return if in the area!"

Pet-Friendly Waterfront Retreat w/ Private Dock on Virginia’s Eastern Shore

10/10 Excellent

"My family had an awesome time over Labor Day weekend staying at Ripple! (While we waited for the house to be ready, we took a short trip to Kiptopeke and saw the concrete ships. So cool!)Ripple was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our children, 21 and 24. It was peaceful, relaxing, clean and comfortable, and had a beautiful view. We made sure to take our fishing gear, and spent a lot of our time out on the pier catching croakers, speckled sea trout (?), and our very first cobias!We are already talking about our next stay at Ripple. That time can't come soon enough! :)"
