Set back across the street from Chincoteague Bay, Homestead sits on 30 acres of basically pristine land. A cozy cottage, originally built in 1890, had been updated but the owners kept the original charm of yesterday but with the comfort of today. Now that charm and comfort has been expanded. A new addition offers a great room with a modern kitchen, dining area and room to stretch out and relax. The design includes oversized windows, sliding doors and a sky light. The house now has 2 screen porches and a balcony that lets you feel as though you are living in in a nature preserve! Homestead sleeps 5 but best suited for 4 adults. There are now 2 full sized bathrooms. Amenities include bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas: games, crayons and colored paper and good parking. And as part of the property, you'll vacation alongside the oldest home on the island, The Captain Timothy Hill House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With a tidal pond in front and unspoiled woods in back, Homestead is private, quiet and with lots of room outside. A perfect retreat! So relax on one of the porches, feel the breeze from the bay, watch the animals and birds that come by or take an outside shower under the stars. The Homestead that so many have come to love is still the same just more to love!

Welcome to your next happy place in the heart of the Bay Creek community — Compass Bay Retreat! This charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo that's ready and waiting for you to arrive and start enjoying your best coastal vacation.

This gem sits in one of Virginia's Eastern Shore's most sought-after communities within Cape Charles, and honestly, it's easy to see why. Bay Creek is home to world-famous golf courses, sparkling pools, a fitness and life center, scenic walking trails, and private beaches. Yeah, you read that right — private beaches. Whether you're teeing off at sunrise, taking a sunset stroll along the shore, or just lounging poolside with a good book, there's never a shortage of ways to unwind here.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable layout with three bedrooms that give everyone their own space to spread out and relax. The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat after long days spent exploring the shore, and the two full bathrooms keep morning routines running smoothly — even when the whole crew is getting ready at once.

Pet owners, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome here, so bring the whole family along for the adventure. There's plenty of room for everyone to feel right at home.

The location is tough to beat. You're just a short drive from the Cape Charles Natural Area Preserve, perfect for nature lovers who enjoy birdwatching and hiking. Grocery runs are a breeze with Food Lion nearby, and the iconic Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is within easy reach for those days when you want to explore beyond the shore.

This is the kind of place where weekdays feel like weekends and every evening ends with a golden sky over the bay. Don't let this one slip by - book your stay today!
