Chincoteague Island is a charming historic fishing village attached to Assateague Island -- a National Seashore and Wildlife Refuge.
There are a wealth of things to do all year round. It has wonderful waters and pristine beaches for swimming, boating, kayaking, crabbing, fishing and kite-flying. The variety of bird and wild pony watching is spectacular, each season bringing new winged migrants to Assateague including thousands of talkative snow geese in the winter. There are nice shops, restaurants, a movie theater, fun for kids (mini-golf, bowling)as well as cultural events and lively festivals. Four museums and visitor centers are there for your entertainment and education in the history and natural history of the area.
Chincoteague is an easy 5 hour drive from central New Jersey and even closer from the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C areas.
Our water front canal leads into Oyster Bay -- a gorgeous site attracting many bird species. Lovely sunrises and sunsets can be seen from our two decks as well as our private garden.
We have a lot of space in the Yankee Fox, including a large television room on the ground floor. There are two living floors and a loft over the living room. We have a spacious, fully-stocked eat-in kitchen,which includes cook books and a spice closet. There are two new screen rooms, a reading room, a large laundry room and a gas fireplace to make things cozy. We have wireless internet access and satellite TVs. There is a boat dock and a crab trap for your use and we are 250 feet from the Oyster Bay 1 boat ramp. We have books and games galore as well as DVD and VCR players. During the summer you can eat the grapes and figs that grow in our well landscaped yard.
The second level is our main living area: There is a large eat-in kitchen with a service and food prep island and a small deck. Our living room is for relaxing and listening to our stereo system and Chincoteague's own radio show!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
We are Howard and Pat from New Jersey. Howie is in the medical field and Pat is in development. We love the outdoors and peaceful places. We have that here in Chincoteague. There isn't another place between NJ and Chincoteague where we can get the variety of things we love to do that is as affordable as this island. Come find out for yourselves!
Why the Owner Chose Chincoteague
We can walk the Assateague Island trails, view the many birds species, see the annual Pony Penning and Swim, take the Chincoteaue Natural History tour into the island interior to see the pony families, climb the lighthouse, kayak the lovely waters. We also love the crab cakes, the ice cream shops (three!) and the island high tea. The town is a delight because it is unique - old fishing shacks, historic downtown buildings, ducks that waddle all over town and the occasional peacock that wanders from the Wild Fowl Park. The Assateague beaches are pristine and during the summer nights park rangers have campfire lectures. This isn't the Hampton's or Seaside Heights just a nice town with only two franchise restaurants! We find things to do all year long as there are active cultural and social organizations and the beach is inviting no matter the season.
