4 thoughts on “Don’t Cape Charles Us: Northampton County Residents Push for Regulation of Short-Term Rentals

  1. Short- term rentals can be very rewarding for the owner as well as for the guest. I prefer not to stay in a hotel when vacationing. When I visit other areas, I am a short-term renter. Most people respect the property and the house that they are renting. I hope that when people rent their properties, they provide a written agreement that the renter has to sign and follow.

    I certainly think parking could be an issue. Does the town have city parking?

    Who doesn’t need money?

    With the recent tax assessment in Northampton County, it is evident that the County needs income. This is another story that I would like to address.

    Short-Term Rentals can be rewarding. People need to follow the written agreement and have fun while they vacation.

  2. Very persuasive comment against STR. Put simply they destroy neighborhoods.
    However permanent residence only generate real estate tax. Mine only doubled in one year. STR however are money machines that won’t be turned off my our (PR) whining .

    There is only ONE way to stop this, an ALL permanent resident town counsel and board of supervisors

    1. It’s sad when I am either in the town of Wachapreague or Onancock and the residents say they don’t want to be anything like Cape Charles. They make comments like “the town’s government really screwed it’s residents. Does anyone even live in Cape Charles anymore?” They actually feel bad for the CC residents.
