About this property

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.

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!

Wonderful stay on the water
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.
