Sweet Retreat is Sweet!
House was perfect for our three family vaca. Ages ranging from 72 to 22 months. Very well stocked, even with things we aren't used to seeing in a rental! Beds were comfy, rooms were great size and the extra fridge came in handy. Would recommend this house to everyone! We love Cape Charles and loved staying at Sweet Retreat!

Perfect House for Our Group of 8 Ladies
Everyone loved the house. It is charming and in a wonderful area not far from the beach. We would come back! The only issues we had were minor. First, there is very little closet space that isn't locked. Second, the top (3rd floor) bedroom had flimsy mattresses. Because only 2 of us were up there, we doubled up the mattresses and it worked out fine. Additionally, there was no body wash or soap up there in that room. We'd say that room is best for children. There are 3 beds with trundles beneath them. But, again, these were minor issues, and we still give the house top ratings and would come back.

Perfect Family Vacation
We had a wonderful vacation. The house was perfect for our 3 families. We had 5 kids ages 1-5 and the house had everything we needed. It was a very short walk to the beach, and a short walk to the Main Street and playground. The house was clean when we arrived and the hosts were quick to respond for any of our questions. We would definitely stay here again if we had the opportunity!

Great besties vacation
We had 7 adults and 4 children (ages 4 - 8), the house was perfect!! It’s such a cool old house. Everyone had their own bed and bathroom! This was our third year vacationing at Cape Charles and the first time we were out of the gated neighborhood. We rented golf carts and since we were so close to everything, it took no time to get to where we wanted to go, beach, play ground, brewery, ice cream, all the fun places. We did reach out to the owners once about extra blankets and cornhole bags, they responded really quickly and got us what we needed within a few hours. This was one of the few houses that had parking in the back off the alley, which was perfect, since we had 4 vehicles. The house has everything you need, except beach towels, don’t forget those like I did. LOL We did a lot of front porch sitting, set up the cornhole boards in the front yard, kids had fun playing on the foosball table, cooked lots of great meals in the kitchen and ate together in the huge dining room, played games and hung out in the comfy living rooms. I hope your group has as much fun as we did!!

Another Outstanding Stay at a Dail property in Cape Charles
This is our third stay with the Dail family at one of their Cape Charles properties. All stays have been rated 5 stars and this most recent stay was no different. We do not bother looking at other rentals as this owner is consistently in communication prior to the visit, always has a very clean house, and is easily accessible if needed during the stay. I have no negative comments and encourage you to rent one of the Dail properties. You will not be disappointed, they are top notch.

My husband and I were celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary. Your home allowed our entire family minus one grandchild to be together. The front porch was in constant use and the location gave everyone the freedom to do what they pleased. The week was almost perfect.

Best Beach for Toddlers
Sweet Retreat is the perfect house for families with children. It is very kid friendly and has plenty of space. My 3 year old grandson loved the bedroom on the third floor since it had a "secret passageway." The beds and furnishings were very comfortable. It was nice having 2 living areas since my son-in-law had to work from home a few days. This house is ideally located near the beach and park. It is definitely a "Sweet Retreat!"

Girls Trip
We loved our stay in Cape Charles and the house was amazing! We were on our annual family girls trip, but unfortunately half of our group had to stay home due to illness. We were still able to enjoy a quiet getaway and all of the local attractions. We can’t wait to return with the rest of our group.

Although we were not able to spend as much time outside as we had hoped, the inside of this house was so comfortable that we relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanksgiving dinner, games around the table, Christmas cookie baking, and so much more. Thank you to everyone involved who made our stay exceptional. We are already looking forward to future visits.
