Nature-Lovers’ Paradise!Mockhorn Bay Retreat is an exclusive property with modern home and complete privacy, 180° Atlantic seaside views of some of the most scenic Barrier Islands. Stunning sunrises and sometimes romantic, memorable full moonrises awe our guests! Take a minute to read our stellar reviews including comments of the amenities and cleanliness of the home. You have to wander to see another house. The perfect compliment to busy Cape Charles.This well-appointed home has many large windows to showcase the scenery, well-stocked kitchen plus open dining and living room, all with wide views of the onsite pond and unparalleled water views of the Atlantic side of Eastern Shore. Master bedroom with water view and private full bath; a second bedroom and full bath, plus an additional room that is sleeper-friendly. Large laundry/pantry/mud room off of main foyer.A screened porch with unobstructed view of the water, dining table with six chairs plus two comfortable rocking chairs for relaxing, reading your latest book, birdwatching, etc. Picnic table with benches near the pond for dining closer to the water. Four Adirondack chairs near the pond for bird-watching and water viewingIdeally located in a private, tranquil location where our guests often prefer to relax and enjoy the abundant wildlife, nature and solitude. When available, there are sea kayaks with a dock and ramp for launching, bicycles (when available) and walking trails onsite for our guests to enjoy. There are many nearby recreational choices, each about 15 minutes away: 4 convenient boat ramps (2 access the Chesapeake Bay and 2 access the Atlantic seaside). There is plenty of room to park your boat trailer onsite and take advantage of fresh-water rinse hose; close-by are marinas, fueling options, bait shops, fishing charters, and seafood retailers if needed.A short drive away is the quaint Town of Cape Charles – with its long public beach and public fishing pier; restaurants and watering holes; art galleries and shops hosting works of many accomplished local artists; boutiques, antique and gift shops, etc. Kiptopeke State Park with it’s boat ramps, parking and popular beach is also a short drive away.There are numerous nearby services including a full-service grocery (which is about 10 minutes from the property). For nature enthusiasts, the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge and the Fisherman Island National Wildlife Refuge are minutes away. Day Trippers’ choices include Chincoteague Island, NASA Wallops Flight Facility [you may get lucky during your stay and witness a launch!!], or catch the seasonal Ferry to unique, historic Tangier Island. The possibilities for fun are endless!!!The location is excellent – around 10 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (designated “One of Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World” – how cool is that?!), plus easy access from the Hampton Roads area.Our Lower Eastern Shore area is family-friendly and I’ll add safe – a place where people say ‘Hi’ when passing on the sidewalk or grocery aisle.I have invested in high-quality disinfectant for surfaces and I always thoroughly clean each bathroom and the entire house between rentals. I block off an extra day between rentals to allow for thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the house.
