We stayed here for our 20th anniversary and it was the perfect spot for a 3-night getaway. The views overlooking the harbor were beautiful—especially the sunsets right from the balcony. One surprise we didn’t expect was being able to rent a golf cart on the property, which made it so easy (and fun) to get to the beach, explore downtown, and sightsee around Cape Charles.A must-do: make reservations at Hook @ Harvey, the restaurant located just below the apartment. The food was incredible and made the trip feel extra special. Between the views, location, and thoughtful touches, this was such a memorable stay. We would definitely come back again!

The picture that represents this listing is actually the entrance to the restaurant below the apartment. There are a series of stairs you must climb to make access. This was not verbalized and we did not expect it. We had a person in our group that had knee replacement and this was a struggle. You also had to climb two more sets of stairs to reach 2nd bedroom which should be for little kids only. The walls are caved and we banged our heads several times. We actually left early out of frustration and level of comfort. No amenities..not even coffee.

We took my daughter and her friend for her 19th Birthday. Place was immaculate and the added bonus of not having to rent a golf cart elsewhere was great. Would definitely recommend and I will be renting this in the future if it’s still available. Just wish it wasn’t 110 degrees outside :)

Birthday getaway

We come down several times a year and thought this would be a perfect place to stay and it is if you want to be directly over a restaurant that is loud until late into the night.(music and hollering) lots of stairs, TV in main room wouldn’t work, fridge didn’t keep stuff cold and its hot in there. The only positive are the sunset views.

Girls weekend

The condo was beautiful and the decor was so pretty. Location was perfect. We had an amazing view of the sunsets and relaxed. Enjoyed dinner downstairs. The only complain that we had was the air conditioning did not cool the property. No screens in the windows, so we could not enjoy the breeze. The fridge ran warm.

Weekend Stay

We visit Cape Charles a couple times a year. This was our first time staying at the Crows Nest, as we decided this time to try something different. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Nice place, had everything we needed foe a weekend away. It was also nice having the option of renting the on sight golf cart vs renting from up the street. Views of the sunset were beautiful. The restaurant was a bit noisy as we were looking for a quiet weekend, but made the best of it. The only downfall was after we arrived, having someone walk in stating they booked the same weekend. We contacted the hosts immediately. They were responsive and assisted with the issue.

Our stay

I loved the property and location except for the music from the restaurant that didn’t stop until after 11:00. The second floor room had hot air coming from the back of what looked like an in room air conditioner. I think the air was supposed to go outside through a vent…. So hot one of us had to sleep on sofa…. Also might co spider taking out small white bar and putting in a round table for eating and cards…sunsets were beautiful and we would co spider coming back. Oh also the golf cart might need a new battery couldn’t go very far.

Crow’s Nest

We loved our weekend getaway to Cape Charles. Our stay at the Crow’s Nest was fun and in a perfect location. We loved having the golf cart right there for our stay. It was so nicely decorated and clean. It would have been nice to have a tv in the living area or one upstairs. Thanks again for the accommodations and hope to come back for another visit in the future!

We enjoyed being outside of town, but that it was still in walking distance from the Crows Nest and the views of the sunsets were beautiful. We booked the property for another stay a few days after returning home.
