New to the rental market, "Play By The Bay" is a brand-new 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house designed for easy coastal living in Cape Charles—where your biggest daily decision is beach time or backyard time.

Step inside to fresh finishes and a bright, open layout that keeps everyone connected, from morning pancake duty to game night. The upgraded chef’s kitchen is the star of the show, with plenty of workspace for slicing, sautéing, and showing off your “I totally meant to do that” plating skills. The main living area flows naturally for lounging, streaming, and post-sunshine naps.

The primary en suite offers a calm retreat, while two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, kids, or that quiet workspace that you may need on occasion. With two full baths plus a convenient half bath, morning routines stay conveniently civilized.

Outside, enjoy a large yard set up for fun—bring your competitive spirit for lawn games or simply claim a chair and supervise like a professional. Bicycles are included, because Cape Charles is better at a relaxed pace and parking worries are not invited.

You’re close to historic downtown Cape Charles for shops, dining, and strolling, and the beachfront is an easy ride away when the water starts calling your name. Groceries are nearby too, so ice cream runs can remain an important part of your schedule.
