lovely quiet neighborhood in rural area. Kristy and Rick offer amenities you may not have at other properties. fishing gear, paddle boards, sea kayaks beach chairs and umbrella. dont worry if you forgot something. Our hosts were very accommodating and wanted to be sure we enjoyed our stay
The pictures and descriptions are exactly what you get and more. Christi was an amazing host. She gives you your privacy and yet the second you start thinking hmm I wonder if or I wish I could/have/need she is right there to help and accommodate. It was the perfect quiet get away for my husband and I and even our dog. I know our dog would even give her and the property a 20 out of ten!!!!
Our stay was very pleasant. Christi was an excellent host. We enjoyed the sandy beach and sunsets as well as a day in the Cape Charles area - Kiptopeke State Park and dinner at The Shanty.
This was the perfect combination of rest and fun that we didnât know we needed.
It is a true unique and special experience to stay at Christy and Rickâs home.
Everyone is so welcoming and helpful to make the stay perfect. And there is a great balance of us having a quiet, peaceful space.
I really enjoyed paddle boarding on the Chesapeake. Awesome bonfire at night and star watching. Sunsets are something not to be missed.
Our dogs were super welcomed and enjoyed their time too.
Thank you! We will be back!
Relaxing on a private beach, kayaks, fishing, bonfires, s'mores, making new friends, the list could go on and on. The host was attentive and energetic. Every request was met with a speedy solution. Our puppy, Eva, had the time of her life. If you are looking for quiet spot to relax and have fun then look no further! This is the perfect spot with endless possibilities.
We enjoyed a beautiful, peaceful stay, it's a return visit to the property for us, so we knew what to expect and look forward to it. Never disappointed staying here, Christi helps you feel very welcome to use and enjoy the property.
They property and views was beautiful. It is a wonderful place to relax and rest. The private beach was awesome. The host was very accommodating and wonderful. The billing was not right but the issue was resolve by the host. I would recommend this listing.

This was our second time booking with Christi at this property, and we love it. She's an amazing host that does so much to make the entire property safe, fun, and accessible. She was ants and o male sure that you have a good time, no matter what that means to you. We appreciate it and will definitely book here again.
I visited Christi in January, during the off-season. I was looking for a quiet place next to the beach, and she made that happen! Her property is right on the shore. She has everything you need for an enjoyable stay.
I brought my dog, and she spoiled him with treats. Every time we went out he raced to the porch to see if she was there.
While I didn't take advantage of everything available, she had golf carts, kayaks, a bonfire setup, grilling, a swing, and chairs facing the beach.
She's a gracious host and fun to talk to. I'll be going again the next time I need to decompress!
We enjoy our stay itâs a really nice quiet beach to relax without the crowd we did some kayak which was our first and really like also some fishing Christi is a really nice host she made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed
We loved every minute of our laid-back stay at this gorgeous property. Grilled, swam, kayaked and ran around with our dog, who had a great time too. Weâll return!
Christi and Rick shared their slice of heaven on earth with us for a week and a half. They make you immediately feel like you are visiting family or old friends.
Check in and out was incredibly easy. The hosts are excellent communicators before and during your stay, and very responsive to any request to ensure you have everything you need or want.
All the amenities of home are thereâŠ.plus some!
Washer/dryer, golf cart use, fire rings with wood included, and THE BEST chairs and swing for morning coffee or evening sunsets overlooking the Chesapeake.
Donât forget the private beach at the end of the yard. It couldnât be any easier to get to the beach! We used the kayaks and paddle boards. No extra rental feesâŠ.itâs ALL there for you to use (life jackets included).
There was so much to do there we didnât get to do it all - so weâll be back!
If there were more stars to award we would absolutely do so. Our family had an amazing time we because of all the work Christi and Rick do to prepare the way. We had great "first time" experiences here: our first time kayaking in the bay, and the first time we ever had crabs freshly caught and steamed right out of the water. The pictures on her site are only a taste of what's here. You see a great, decorated and clean, cozy room and read the amazing list of amenities, but you can't appreciate all of it until you are actually here and see this lady in action. She is an amazing ball of energy! When the site says you are family when you get here, you feel it. They are welcoming and we immediately felt like old friends. There is so much to do you can just park the car and not leave the entire stay. Want to go kayaking? Paddle boarding? Do it. Watch the waves and the sun rise or set everyday from perfectly positioned chairs or a swing? Nap in a hammock by the beach? Do it all. And more. We love wildlife and soaked in the ospreys, bald eagle, crabs, pelicans and countless other beautiful creatures. We also enjoyed Christi's birds, koi, and cats! We had carefree days of never knowing or caring what time it was or what day of the week it was. We enjoyed nightly evening rides through the quiet neighborhood on her golf carts, taking in the scenery and the breeze filled with all the beach scents you wanted: jasmine, salty air, the occasional grill and bonfire smoke. This is a place that feels protected from outside rushes and worries. You can just relax or play at will. Our neighbors in the Sandy Hill Sunset unit were terrific and so friendly. We enjoyed watching their children playing and we all had an amazing lunch on fresh crabs, steamed by Christi herself! Thelma's Dawn Getaway isn't just a place you go to vacation, it's an experience. You can't get this kind of enjoyment without Christi's and Rick's hard work. What they have done to this property is amazing. They have adapted it into a mini resort. We had everything we needed right at hand, including a fully appointed kitchen in our unit that we took advantage of everyday of our stay. She is a true animal lover and won over our little chihuahua right away! From picnics on the beach, to peaceful night's sleeps, breakfasts on the patio, shopping in downtown Cape Charles, and endless beach days, this is far and beyond our best, and favorite, family vacation! We will be back. Thanks, Christi!
No frills efficiency inside â all the frills one could want on the outside. We just wanted to relax and walk the dogs on the beach and around the wooded neighborhood. But for those who like beach activities, there are all kinds of options. Very friendly and accommodating hosts!
Christine was a wonderful host. It was nice to use her home for the holiday. She left us thoughtful Christmas treats and was generously accommodating for our situation. We will definitely stay there in the future when we visit family.
The host is the most friendly, helpful, fun person We have ever come across. It was like being part of the family and still alone on vacation with the love of my life. So many fun activities like fishing , golf carts, sports, and bonfires right on the beach. Weâre definitely coming back as soon as possible and Iâd recommend this to anyone, couple, family, that wants to escape to a private paradise with a home feeling
Christi & Rick are wonderful, kind, considerate ppl. Best of hosts! top stars! Property is exactly what you see: clean and neat; yard backs to Chesapeake bay; very quiet and peaceful. Kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear all available! I would recommend to anyone and absolutely stay again.
The property is exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, waking up and walking across the yard to walk along the beach first thing in the morning.
Christi is a great person, you can tell she really enjoys hosting people at the property, and genuinely wants to hem to have a good time. Our pup fell in love with her (the treats didn't hurt, haha).
I'm reluctant to tell the world how wonderful this place is, but only because I want to be available to book anytime I need it. We'll certainly return.
The apartment was clean and had a lot more amenities than any hotel I have ever stayed in. The beach was beautiful and we were able to have a romantic bonfire on the beach after dark. The hostess went above and beyond to make sure that our vacation getaway was special.
Staying at Thelmaâs Dawn was truly a one of a kind experience where we enjoyed the most stunning of sunsets, jaw dropping starry skies, a private beach that was truly a slice of heaven and the most helpful tour guide Christi. We struggle with the words to review this place because it is best to feel the amazing energy of it and to experience the beauty of serenity and solitude yourself. Staying here felt like an intimate look into a calmer American culture overlooked by many people used to a busy and chaotic cityscape. This isnât a place to stay to indulge in the typical tourist traps of most modern vacations. This is a place to indulge your 5 most basic senses in the simplicity of the surroundings that is nature. We truly just got lost sitting in the lovely reclined wooden chairs facing the ocean, hearing the crash of the waves and looking up at the absolutely phenomenal open sky. Christi shared an app with us that explained what constellations we were looking at, which made it fun to understand our place in the universe! One of our favorite moments was when we saw the brightest green light shoot down from the sky, which we think was a meteorite! Christi offers many activities from building a fire on the beach/backyard to fishing, kayaking and even crabbing! My husband had the privilege of going out with Christi on the boat and retrieving the crab traps from the bay, which led to a fresh crab dinner and an education session by Christi on how to eat them properly. What an experience! Our dog had quite the time being off leash and running into the ocean and on the sand! Christi was attentive feeding her treats while encouraging follow through of commands. Our dog Yana didnât walk by the porch without checking to see if Christi was there. You canât review this amazing paradise vacation spot without reviewing Christi too because she is one of a kind! She makes sure you have all you need to enjoy yourself, even if making sure you have the greatest and brightest flash light to get you to the end of the yard! She is educational, thorough and ensures you experience all you can from this unique secluded pocket of Virginia. As far as the room, everything was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the AC unit regulated the room temp very well and the mini fridge/kitchen supplies are just enough for your needs. Leave your judgments with the city lights and come and enjoy this hidden gem located conveniently on the edge of the Earth! We had a magical time here
I booked a four-day stay at Thelma's Dawn. I wanted a place that was on the beach, bring my dog, Koa, and be at peace. Thelma's Dawn was the place and more. Christi, the host, was the best! She really made us feel like we belonged there. She was very welcoming. I was worried about the weather, it was forecasted to have thunderstorms through the week, but to my pleasant surprise, the days were filled with sun. Of course, a shower or thunderstorm would break through but pass by. The beach is private and oh so serene. Koa and I walked the beach in the morning and it was wonderful. Calm waters, warm enough to just jump right in but not too warm that it wasn't refreshing. When we weren't exploring other towns the afternoon was spent swimming or just sitting and enjoying the beautiful view of the water. Did I mention the great hospitality, Christi had fresh crab ready for us to eat when we arrived...yum. The property faces east so you can catch as many sunsets as the days you are there. The room was just enough. The first night there were three of us, it was comfortable. My son had to get back to Norfolk so the rest of the stay was my daughter and I and there was more than enough room. I found the queen bed very comfortable, I slept very well. My daughter was on the day bed and she said it was comfortable. Christi allowed us to do our laundry there which was great, no dirty clothes when we got home. Did I mention how great Christi is? Yea, she was awesome! The golf cart was a fun ride, we took it around the neighborhood, Koa loved it! So, if your looking for a place to get away, be at peace, this is it. It's worth the ride from the main road. Cell service was minimal around the whole area, even up along Route 13, but that did not bother me too much. Thelma's Dawn has wifi and it reached out to the beach, it was all I needed to be able to make a call or text and even post pics on Facebook. A meal must be had at El Maguey Mexican Restaurant, authentic and delicious. Christi shared some vegetables from her impressive garden. Cape Charles main street shops were nice to peruse. Chincoteague main street shops were also nice to look around and get memorabilia. My daughter and I hit a lot of antique shops along 13 too. You will have to do some driving to get anywhere, that's the nature of the area, and it's worth it. I hope to make Thelma's Dawn a regular place to visit and get away.
