The story of our tiny home accommodations has its roots in the late 1930s when the property was used as the Esso Park Auto Court, and also has had a few other uses during the years.

Those who are eco-conscious will feel at home knowing that their vacation choices are less impactful to the environment than staunchly luxurious large brand accommodations.
When visiting - you have an abundance of activities to partake of. Boating and kayaking are popular pastimes with many boating centers and marinas in the area. Rentals and eco-tours are available and work especially well for those who have not traveled with their own craft. Fishing charters are also a possibility with a number of operators in the area. You can explore the unique and ecologically significant Barrier Islands if you choose. The beach on Chesapeake Bay welcomes locals and tourists alike. The sandy shore is perfect for sitting and reading a great book, building sand castles or swimming; it’s also a superb place to find a shark's tooth or two along the shore!
For those who wish a creative or cerebral experience - there are a number of art galleries to explore. Each has its own style and collection of curated pieces.
If shopping is more your speed - Cape Charles has offerings that beckon loudly. You’ll find gourmet markets, art, specialty gift shops of all manner. There is something for every taste!
Perhaps a drive is in order - the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is a great way to add interest to the journey - or to save time and make the trip shorter. This path connects Virginia’s Eastern Shore with Virginia’s mainland.
