Welcome to a private slice of Virginia's Eastern Shore. The ProperStays Beachhouse sits alone on its own stretch of Chesapeake Bay coastline — 3,500 square feet of light-filled coastal architecture, a manicured lawn that runs straight to the water, a stone fire pit circle for golden-hour gatherings, and sunsets that paint the sky every single evening. **Inside:** Cathedral ceilings rise over an open-concept great room where a sectional, dining for ten, and a sage-and-marble kitchen all share the same wall of windows facing the bay. Five bedrooms accommodate up to fifteen overnight guests. Two upper-level suites open to the deck and the sound of waves. **Outside:** Wide deck with bayfront seating. A fire pit ring set into the lawn — perfect for ceremony backdrops or intimate dinners. Direct private beach access. Kayaks for guests. Hot tub. **Best for:** - Editorial and brand photography (coastal, lifestyle, fashion, swim, wellness) - Bridal portraits, engagement sessions, elopement micro-ceremonies - Small-format commercial production (10–20 person crews) - Intimate celebrations up to 29 guests (15 overnight) - Corporate off-sites, wellness retreats, board offsites **Light:** South-facing exposure. Golden hour starts ~6 PM in summer and the great-room windows fill with warm light from 4 PM until sunset. **Access:** Private gravel drive, ample parking on-site for ~12 vehicles. 8 minutes to downtown Cape Charles. 90 minutes from Norfolk International Airport. **Note:** The property is a residential vacation home in unincorporated Northampton County.
