From Mainland Virginia & North Carolina

Depending on exactly where you are coming from will determine what roads to take to I−64 towards Norfolk, VA. I−64 runs East & West around Norfolk. Whether you are taking I−64 East or West, take to Exit 282 Chesapeake Bay Bridge−Tunnel. Merge onto Route 13 North and follow the small blue signs with a white seagull (for the Bridge−Tunnel). Once over the bridge, continue along Route 13N/Lankford Highway for about 10 miles. At the second light (immediately after the plaza on your right with McDonald’s and Food Lion), make a left onto Route 184 West (Stone Road) towards downtown Cape Charles. As you enter town, the speed limit quickly drops from 55 MPH to 40, and then 25. The first road on your left will be Fulcher Street and the next street is Fig Street. Make a right onto Fig and then your first right onto Tazewell Avenue. We are the large white house on the corner of Fig Street and Tazewell Avenue. Our parking lot and main entrance are located on Tazewell Avenue.

Depending on exactly where you are coming from will determine what roads to take to get to Route 13 South. Route 13 runs North and South up and down the Delmarva Peninsula through Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Once on Route 13 South/Lankford Highway in Virginia, continue South towards the Chesapeake Bay Bridge−Tunnel. Once you are through Cheriton, VA, Cape Charles is the next town. You will pass a Hardee’s and Valero gas station on your left. At the next light, make a right onto Route 184 West (Stone Road) towards downtown Cape Charles.

From Baltimore & Washington, D.C.

You have the choice of taking I-95 South towards Norfolk, VA and then the Chesapeake Bay Bridge−Tunnel (follow directions from Mainland Virginia); or crossing over the Bay Bridge at Annapolis, Maryland to Route 50 East. At Salisbury, Maryland, you will pick up Route 13 South (follow directions from Delaware).

We HIGHLY recommend taking 50 East and 13 South down the Delmarva Peninsula. Depending on time of day and day of week, you can sit in hours of traffic on I-95 South. Most GPS systems will put you on I-95 South because it is technically 10 miles shorter, but you can save hours of traffic and frustration by taking Route 13 South.



Parking

We offer complimentary off−street parking for one vehicle per room in our lot on Tazewell Avenue. Trailers, boats, RVs, and over−sized/over−width vehicles must park along either side of Tazewell Avenue. There are no restrictions for street parking. Parking is not permitted on Fig Street.

If renting a golf cart, we ask that you park your vehicle on the street if you would like to park the golf cart in our driveway. We offer charging for golf carts in our off-street parking area.



Travel “Tips”

Speed limits are heavily enforced along Route 13/Lankford Highway and Route 184/Stone Road, specifically in the 25 MPH zone. If traveling South along Route 13 you will come into a few spots where the limit drops from 55 MPH to 35, 45 or 50 MPH. These zones are typically heavily enforced.

Speed limit into and within the Town of Cape Charles is 25 MPH. Driving laws and parking rules apply to golf carts as well, and are heavily enforced. Golf carts are not permitted outside the 25 MPH zone.
