“Fig Street Inn...best B&B in Cape Chas in our estimation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

We had the best time this past weekend...the Inn has been restored beautifully...we couldn't stop gawking...there were so many beautiful things to see and dwell on in this great home. And we certainly did feel 'at home'. Our room had a working fireplace, a bed more comfy than our one at our 'real' home (never thought that could be possible!) and the breakfast was way more than we ever could have wished for. Again, it was better than what we typically have at our 'real' home (and again, we never thought that could be possible!) Thank you so much, Donna and Greg!

Room Tip: The Chesapeake has a king bed and working fireplace.

“A godsend in relaxation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

The Fig Street Inn in Cape Charles, VA is an absolutely lovely property in a quiet little town. We were looking for a quiet place to "chill out" for a few days and found it in the wonderful town of Cape Charles and the Fig Street Inn. Greg made wonderful breakfasts and Donna was hospitable. Overall, a great stay! We will stay there again.

“Wonderful long weekend, fantastic B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I can only echo what others have said about Fig Street. What a nice family and what an incredible house!

Friends of ours bought an old Victorian B & B recently, but was not yet ready for visitors. They referred us to Donna and Greg at Fig Street and we stayed for three nights over the long weekend. We had endless questions about the community, the house, the renovations of the house and all were patiently answered. The home has a very nice feel to it, much happiness there over the years. Breakfasts were extensive and cooked to order and Donna extended an invitation for our friend and her husband to join us for breakfast on the last morning. Turned out we all sat chatting at the big dining room table. Could not have been more welcoming or comfortable. Although it was the dead of winter, we found plenty to do and see. While Donna and Greg had not been in the area very long, they had a good feel for the community and are very skilled at running a B & B. The pricing was comparable to the hotels in the area, but you got so much more. Definitely recommended.

Room Tip: All of the rooms have newly remodeled tile showers with 10 foot ceilings. Don't worry about co...

“A wonderful place to visit....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

My husband and I stayed at the beautiful Fig Street Inn during the Christmas season. We slept in the Boston Harbor Suite, a spacious two room suite. The bathroom includes a nice Jacuzzi bathtub, which I found to be very relaxing. The king sized mattress was comfortable.

The proprietors’, Donna and Greg decorated this wonderful old house very beautifully for the holiday season. Their three trees certainly made it a very festive holiday setting. I loved how extensively the house was decorated – even the outdoor breakfast room. There were glass balls hanging from the ceiling.

The library room is very comfortable with the candy “bar”. The variety of treats certainly was great for any chocoholic. Greg makes a very good breakfast, we had chocolate chip pancakes.

This is a place we would definitely visit again.

Room Tip: If you enjoy a good jacuzzi tub, the Boston Harbor suite is super.
