Hands Up

The appeal of staying in a former bank was irresistible, plus it was available last minute when we needed it. Very clean and comfortable and well-equipped. The bed was also very comfortable. We would’ve loved to have had more time to use the fire pit and fish-cleaning and grilling area, but we did use the bicycles to bike the trail, immediately adjacent to the bank, to the nature center. It was a nice, easy almost 10 mile round trip. The location was perfect for exploring the eastern shore. Read the available brochures which highlight some of the best activities before choosing your adventures. We went to Onancock to catch the ferry to Tangiers one day, and the next day we just explored Cape Charles. So much good food nearby, or cook your own in the kitchen or out on the grill. It’s a very fun place to stay. Hands Down.

The historic building converted to a house is gorgeous inside with a creative use of space. It has everything needed for a vacation house and is within driving distance of Kiptopeke State Park, Cape Charles, and other southern Eastern Shore attractions. Owners are quickly responsive and very helpful.

Comfortable and Historical, Nicely Renovated

We enjoyed our stay at the Vault. It was a treat to be able to stay in the historical building, and the renovations done to transform the bank into a house were tastefully and well-done. The beds and furniture were comfortable, and the baths and kitchen were well furnished. The location of the Vault is centrally located for exploring the area. We visited or toured many points of interest from our home-base here -- Cape Charles, Kiptopeke National Park, Cheriton, Eastville, Onancock, Ocean City, MD, Chincoteague and Assateage Islands -- just to name a few. The owners were helpful to suggest charter fishing boats, and we arranged a fishing trip with one that took us out in the Chesapeake Bay. We would have enjoyed the fishing more if we would have caught more than a few small sharks and two stingrays, but fishing is unpredictable and that was just bad luck. I was surprised and very much appreciated that our damage deposit was refunded before we even got home. I would recommend staying at the Vault to anyone who would be visiting the area. If more people are traveling together that would require more than 1 hotel room, the price is economical too.

The Vault was a treasure!

We like finding unique places to stay and this home filled the bill. Plenty of space to sleep, eat and relax. Loved the history of the building and the kids enjoyed exploring to figure out where the vault once was. The owners were in contact with us to make sure everything was okay. They were available when we called and very helpful. Highly recommend this home if staying in the area.

Why they chose this property

This property is conveniently located near Route 13. Easy access with an easy parking area. Located near all the Lower Shore boat ramps. Shopping is nearby, you can travel to Cape Charles and shop antique shops, jewelry stores, great restaurants along with other attractions. You can travel across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and visit Virginia Beach Oceanfront and Norfolk.

What makes this property unique

Close to most attractions on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, but far enough away to be the center of attention. Ample parking for 2 large boats and a lockable gate when you go places.
