Lose yourself in the quiescence of Sunset Dunes. Your own private beach only 80 steps from the house. Perched atop an ancient dune and nestled at the fringe of our 40 acre forest that fronts on the Chesapeake and favored with water reflective sunsets and moonsets alike. With only an short stroll down a gently winding shell path to your private beach where you can sink your feet into the sand and get right into vacation mode. Kinda like having a TV remote to just change the channel. Positioned in the middle of a resplendent stretch of dunes unlike anywhere else on the Delmarva Peninsula. Wildlife (bald eagles, osprey, dolphins and loads of other wildlife), nature's beauty is everywhere you look, fossils, artifacts, antiques and treasures abound like nowhere else you’ve been before. Sunset Dune's location is also well outside any of the light pollution range so you get a night sky black enough where you can actually see the edge of the milky way.
Cape Charles has a plethora of new eateries, a brewery, a distillery and a wide variety of food options.
