The Flying Goose is is a quaint original Chincoteague Island bungalow and guest cottage just minutes from Assateague Beach and a five minute walk to Maddox Blvd’s great restaurants and shopping, including the Black Narrows Brewing Company, Steamers, and the Island Creamery. Downtown Chincoteague is a short bike ride away. The Flying Goose is located on a third of an acre with a fenced backyard and lovely garden. After a day at the beach come home to enjoy the large screen porch, outdoor shower (with hot water), brick patio, outdoor grill, cable TV, and wifi. The main house has two bedrooms with queen size beds, a recently renovated full bath, an updated kitchen, and new windows. The guest cottage, originally the workshop of a master decoy carver, has been fully renovated with one bedroom, a kitchenette, ½ bath, refrigerator, air conditioning, and WiFi, just steps from the main house. We supply linens, towels, pillows, beach chairs, umbrellas, and an assortment of board games. The kitchen is stocked with all the conveniences of home, including a washer and dryer. Total living space, including the screen porch, is approximately 1,400 square feet.

About Robert Shepherd
Fithri is from an island (Java, in Indonesia) and Robert has spent time living on two islands (Java and Taiwan). We hope you enjoy everything Chincoteague Island has to offer as much as we do.
Robert Shepherd purchased this Bungalow in 2017
Why Robert Shepherd chose Chincoteague Island
We are in a very quiet neighborhood that is child and bicycle friendly. The screen porch is large (24 feet x 12 feet) and comfortable. The island trolley (25 cents per ride) passes in front of our house. Just minutes away from island attractions.
What makes this Bungalow unique
We spend most of our time on the screen porch. Walking to nearby restaurants and shops is easy (be sure to stop by the Black Narrows Brewery!) We enjoy biking around the island, including an easy twenty minute ride to the never crowded biker/hiker beach on Assateague, a five minute ride to the shops and restaurants on Main Street, and a ten minute ride to the entrance on Assateague. And remember, when you enter Assateague Island by bike you do not pay an admission fee!

Wonderful, welcoming beach house
This was our second year staying at The Flying Goose, and we couldn't have been happier. The house worked wonderfully for our family of four (with two little boys), and the Annex was a great space for my parents. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessities and everything felt clean and organized. The addition of the fire pit was nice and allowed for a fun night roasting marshmallows. The house is located in a quite area, but it's easy to walk to the main areas, and it's a quick drive to the beach. We highly recommend The Flying Goose and hope to stay again in the future.
The porch always works....
...but other things didn't work--wifi, tv, saggy mattress, not so clean pots and pans which we really needed bc we are vegetarians. The porch, central AC, outdoor shower, great location, quiet neighborhood, and really clean house upon arrival were perfect.
We are very sorry you had problems, Jenise. In the future, please contact us immediately with any concerns and we will ask our housekeeper to come over and assist you. When she checked the house today, she reported that the television, cable, and wifi were all working fine.
Great and Economical
What a great place to rent. Details large and small near perfect. Very clean and neat, with interesting artwork. Comfortable living room and bedrooms, well-appointed eat-in kitchen, plenty of chairs (all comfortable) and towels, AC perfect and central, washer/dryer a cinch to run, outdoor shower heavenly, annex building a tiny bit musty but my adult sons competed for the fun of staying there, great fire pit, and the screen porch a spacious and peaceful connection to the outdoors.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Marguerite, and we are happy you enjoyed your time on the island.
A relaxing and cozy home away from home
We visited the island for a family wedding and enjoyed the comforts of home instead of a hotel. The porch is amazing and the kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were nicely decorated. The neighborhood was quiet and even with some days of rain it was a great place to be. The additional cottage for my son worked well giving him his own spot to relax. Thanks for a lovely place to stay.
excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our favorite thing about this house was the screened in porch- it was great to relax, sip a cup of coffee in the morning, and eat dinner "outside" without any bugs! The house is clean and furniture and beds are extremely comfy. This house has everything! It was very nice to do laundry and come home from vacation without loads of dirty laundry! We loved using the chairs and umbrella at the beach! The outside shower is awesome to keep all the sand outside. We enjoyed using the grill and having a bonfire! For our family of 6 with 4 children from 6 months of age though 8 years old, it was great to have our own outside space for the kids to play instead of trying to keep them quiet inside and from disturbing other hotel guests. This place is very reasonable; and for our family, it was cheaper than getting a hotel room. Plus, we loved all the "extra perks" with being able to grill and cook, do laundry, play and be outside, and have a bonfire. We loved our stay here! We hope to be back next year! This house made our family vacation just perfect!
Thank you very much, Stephanie, and we are happy your family had a great experience on Chincoteague.
Cozy, clean, and comfortable
The house has all the comforts of home. The outdoor porch was so nice to sit out in the mornings before we went out and to finish out our day. The location was great and walkable. Fithri and Robert answered questions quickly. I would stay here again on a future trip.
Many thanks, Jessica. We look forward to hosting you and your family the next time you decide to visit our lovely island.
