This is an excellent location for birdwatchers who want to be close to Kiptopeke and the wildlife refuge. Even though it is on a noisy highway, it is surprisingly quiet at night.

I thought we were staying at a class hotel in Cape Charles, not a KOA / motel 10 miles from Cape Charles proper.

Complete summer resort.
The resort's hotel rooms are currently being renovated and dining facilities are closed.
We were offered one of the cabins for the same price as a room, so enjoyed a "small 2-bedroom home" complete with kitchen. The resort hopes to fully reopen Memorial Day weekend and should then be a delightful place for families to vacation.

We went on its off season time I think because it was quite unorganized and the restaurant they have on the beach was closed and seemed to be having renovations. Everyone was very accommodating even though there was a mix up at the beginning. Im sure this place is even better when its in season.

The Beach was awesome
We were in the hotel. Very musty smell and mildew on the lampshades and bathroom. You'll have to wash all of your things when you get home whether you wore them or not. Bed was comfy. May try a little house if we go again because the rest of the place is awesome.

Needs renovation
Under-staffed. Looked like a baby sitting service in the lobby. Peeling wall paper. But the bed was clean and comfortable.
