Beachfront Luxury Home w/ Fabulous Garden & Sunset Views!

St Patrick on the Chesapeake bay is a most beautiful home with distinctive european flair and a peaceful and private vacation destination. The beautiful 4500 square foot home is nestled amidst mature hollies, dogwoods, and pine trees, flowers and statuary, overlooking a pristine sandy beach. The property is situated on a high bluff at the mouth where the bay meets the Atlantic Ocean
The 1.5 acre manicured Mediterranean garden was artistically designed and created by the owners who moved to the shore in 1989 directly from Italy. The home is spacious and offers two large living rooms with views of the bay and enchanting garden.There are several places to contemplate nature.An amazing terrace jetting out over the high bluff is the most scenic spot to observe dolphins, sea birds and water men collecting their daily catch. The westerly views offer magical sunsets over the water. Close to a state park and the historic victorian bay front town of Cape Charles.


Meandering, mysterious paths are an invitation to follow the way to a heavenly hidden natural corner where one can truly relate with mother nature. A true oasis away from the hustle and bustle of every day life and yet so convenient to the many amenities the area offers.

The home itself is very spacious with large picture windows and cathedral ceilings. What makes this home unique and distinguished is the elegant European style noticeable in the furnishings and overall decor. As you enter the main front door you are welcomed into a very large open living room/foyer that features an imposing fireplace and French doors leading onto the picturesque deck that visually embraces the lush lawns and stunning Chesapeake Bay beyond. The outstanding green room is a feature worth highlighting as it offers a 500 sq. foot space also with fireplace and 3 absolutely charming bay windows each framing a different landscape view of the park-like garden.

From the back deck , a picturesque gold fish pond and waterfall is a soothing view to enjoy while outdoor grilling and dining. The master bedroom is furnished with museum- worthy last century Neapolitan custom made mahogany furniture and features a quaint sitting room bay window area to take in the spectacular view.

The bay front state park just a few minutes away offers numerous hiking trails, fishing pier and boat ramp. The historic Victorian bay side town of Cape Charles is 10 minutes away and offers shops, a variety of restaurants, a historic live theatre, signature gold courses, tennis and fitness center.

Family vacation
Our family (ages 80-to-newborn) had a wonderful week staying at this property. The grounds were beautiful, rooms were spacious, and the owners were easy to communicate with. The private beach was a big plus and we enjoyed the history of the home.

Wonderful get away
Our family of 11 enjoyed the private beach setting of the bay for our 2 year old. Spent many an hour with hermit crabs and walking out to the sand bar. Spacious and many rooms to spread out in for relaxing and reading and playing! The exterior gardens need some work on which the owner indicated will be done this summer.

Amazing location, great house, a few issues
This was our second summer in Cape Charles, and a third one for our friends. The past years we stayed in the town proper, but this time, nothing was available there and we stumbled upon St. Patrick listing. It was a great fit for our group of 12. We had 6 adults and 6 teens/adolescents, ranging from 13 to 20 years of age. The house is huge, the property is gorgeous, and it’s literally stairs to a private beach. The sunsets and sunrises on the deck are some of the best you have seen in your life, the kitchen has all the appliances needed to make a meal, the deck is a welcoming place where we spent many evenings playing trivia games, the huge living room was a welcoming place to watch TV or cuddle with multiple books and the dining table fit 13 of us comfortably so we had many meals there as we cooked pretty much all the time except for two evenings. Overall, we had a great stay, with only one issue of the second floor AC not working on the last night and also, one of the first floor bedrooms only had a small vent in the floor so the room would get hot in the night and the only way to keep cool would be to open the doors so that cold air from the rest of the first floor would come in. Also, the listing mentions towels are provided and the lease sent said they were not, glad I picked up on this detail. I don’t kind packing towels, but I would have minded coming with 12 people and no towels so the listing should be revised. Other than that, this is really an amazing home!

We had a wonderful time at the house. It is spacious and well-equipped. I can't overstate how amazing it was having the private beach! Our kids had the best time, and when they exhausted themselves down there they enjoyed the large TV area. Very relaxing trip and we hope to be back!

St Patrick Stay
The house was awesome and very accommodating for our extended family (12 of us) of all ages. The beach access was also great as the kids (and adults) love the water. Chasing crabs was a favorite pastime. In the house, there was plenty of bedrooms and rooms to gather or go off for quiet time. The yard and view of the bay were also very beautiful. I would visit again and highly recommend.

This was our 3rd visit to St Patrick and it was as perfect as ever. The house offers plenty of space and grounds for our 6 adult/6 kid crew. And the beach is the best part. Perfect for little ones because it is very calm. Perfect place to spend quality time making memories!

A special place!
The St. Patrick did not disappoint! The location is outstanding. The kitchen was spacious. The dining room had room for the whole family. The house was kid friendly, as we had 6 kids between ages 1-6. The only challenge for us were all the stairs and trying to keep the kids safe- but no one got hurt. It might be a challenge for older adults or those with disabilities. Although, there were two bedrooms on the first floor. All the bedrooms were spacious. We really had a good beach experience. They had several comfortable beach chairs and an umbrella, so we didn't have to pack any. The auxiliary fridge in the garage was super useful for drinks and a giant watermelon. We would definitely return!

Cape Charles Get Away
This was a wonderful escape for our family. We were looking for a little adventure for our family of 6 (4 kids from 4-14) and my parents. The house is spacious, gorgeous, and charming. Everything you need is there. The private beach is easy access and the property has numerous great views. The antique furniture and decor adds the charm. The property is also just 10 minutes away from downtown Cape Charles. It was perfect for what we were looking for.

Stunning beach views with gardens to match!
We ladies gathered together to visit Cape Charles, VA for the first time and THiS was THE PERFECT HOME to stay in! The estate itself is beyond beautiful, with lush gardens and gentle paths leading you towards hidden statues or soothing ponds....and the house!!! Just lovely! Plenty of bedrooms and space to relax, a large social table to gather over a tasty meal and make new memories! The stairs leading you down to the beach open up to a sunny expanse of sand that's all yours to explore! Clear waters invite you to swim, SUP, kayak or just to marvel at! (There's a wonderful local business that rents SUPs or kayaks and brings them to your location!) After a day of sun and sand, visit the charming town full of adorable shops and restaurants....just be sure to visit the brewery AND the cidery! Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had all the comforts of home and her beautiful artwork can be seen throughout the house. We will DEFINATELY be back!!!

Spacious, clean and well maintaine home. Beautiful area perfect place to relax.
Our family spread out across the Eastern US got together for a week to catch up and relax from busy lives in this great location. So quiet and peaceful located right on the shores of southern Chesapeake Bay with its own private beach we rarely left with all the amenities and conveniences. The host was great and readily available whenever needed, which was only once. If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind this is it.....

Family ...theirs and ours!
We reserved St. Patrick for a family gathering. The details and the previous reviews were helpful with our decision. The home would accommodate 14 people ages 70 to 3. Upon arrival we quickly realized that the home and property exceeded any expectations. The home is clean, well equipped and roomy.The yard is lined with paths leading to 2 decks overlooking Chesapeake Bay. Both home, yard and deck are accessible for someone with some mobility challenges. The weather was chilly but that did not stop us from descending the stairs to enjoy walking the shoreline. The hosts were prompts with responses and invited us to Lemon Tree Gallery in Cape Charles for Friday FUN. Cape Charles is about 10 miles away but well worth the drive for dinner, art and souvenirs. We hope to return to St. Patrick!

Lovely stay
This is our 8th seasonal getaway with four families of college friends. We had a wonderful stay at this lovely beachfront home with it's panoramic view of the bay & bridge tunnel and convenience to the state park. We all enjoyed the deck right off the kitchen and lovely garden surroundings. A few minimal hiccups were the fruit flies and a soft bed. All rooms were nicely appointed and the kids enjoyed the bunk bed room with an escape door. Luisa and Clelia were pleasant to work with and responsive. Thank you.
