We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the kayaks and the firepit as well as a few local restaurants. The house was clean and the host was very responsive.
From the moment we drove up to the beautiful cottage we knew our week was going to be special. Cottage is beautiful, quaint and idyllic! Landscaping is beautiful. Dock was great for fishing and sitting. Loved the kayaks! Onancock is a lovely town. Meg and her mom are great to work with! We will be back for sure!
The house is quaint and homey. It is an old house with some upgrades. The downstairs beds are comfortable (didn’t use upstairs) but the house needs a refresh on furniture and decor to be competitive. The grounds are fantastic and I spent a lot of time on the pier reading a book and watching the geese and fish. The owner is very sweet and promptly addressed any issues we had.
The cottage was just as described. It was perfect for us. I look forward to staying here again in the near future!!

Beautiful home. Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Very relaxing week (except for the darn mosquitoes). Chincoteague was only 35 minutes away and OCMD was 90 minutes. Ate at Mallards, Blarney Stone and Tavola in Onancock and all were excellent. There’s also an excellent bakery right in town.
We loved staying here. The property and yard were beautiful with a brand new dock and private beach for the kids to make sand castles at low tide. The house was clean and well equipped.
Quiet, Peaceful (which is what we were looking for), clean, and comfortable. Plenty to do in the area, but the heat was oppressive, so we didn't venture out. It was great being right on the water. Couldn't really see to the open water, like out to the bay, but you can see plenty of water birds, etc. Well equipped and vacation-y in the best way.
Ideal location to relax, enjoy the waterfront close to Onacock, VA. Charming town with friendly residents. Home was well maintained and clean. Has spectacular view of the creek with a dock. Home well landscaped. Check in and out easy. Owner concerned about a pleasurable experience.
Our DC book group from years ago, now friends of 30 or so years, had an absolutely lovely time, based at Meg’s place in Onancock. We just skimmed the surface of the town and area possibilities!
Meg is a wonderful host! Exceptionally clean house, beautiful views, easy to access, quick response. Just bring food and some wood for the fire pit and your golden! Would 100% come again.
It was like a weekend at grandmas house. This charming cottage has a nostalgic feel that made our stay cozy. The beds are very comfortable which is always important to us. The view overlooking the water is beautiful. It was perfect for what we needed for a weekend stay. Short drive to town where we enjoyed meals at Corner Bakery, Maurice’s and Mallards.
This trip was our semi-annual Sister's get-together and we all enjoyed our stay. There are 6 of us but only 3 could make it this time. We hope to stay again when everyone can be there. The house was perfect with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The setting, view and sounds of nature were peaceful. Lots to do in the area too!
Exactly as advertised. Very comfortable home. Fully equipped and very clean. Beds comfortable. We enjoyed the pier for fishing and the fire pit for roasting s’mores. The house was wonderful to work with.
I stayed four nights with a college girlfriend and we couldn’t have been happier. The cottage is charming and light filled. We spent most of our time in the enclosed sun porch, watching birds on the dock, kayaking, and sitting in the red chairs by the water. The kitchen was well equipped, neighbors were quiet, beds were comfy. We very much appreciated the shady yard as a nice break from the mid day heat. A very peaceful little spot.
We had five family members of four generations staying together for almost a week. All of us were able to enjoy the house, the yard, and the water. The kitchen was well- equipped for cooking the many meals that we shared around the large dining room table. The four bedrooms and baths easily accommodated all of us. Several family members enjoyed the kayaks provided. The host was quick to answer any questions we had and made our stay a pleasure for all of us. We hope to return another year.
Three family groups - 5 adults and one toddler - lot of room so not on top of each other - we cooked in all weekend - nicely equipped kitchen, roomy dining table (also great for games and cards). Thoroughly enjoyed the porch room - beautiful view. Walked around the yard with the toddler - spacious. Used the kayaks - nice to have that option. Took some walks - nice area. Next door neighbor - not close, but was playing loud music while setting up for a party, a minor irritant. During the party itself we were outside setting up our campfire and sitting around it and it did not bother us at all. Nice charming place - was great for three generations of family and we enjoyed our stay very much!
We had such a good time at the cottage. It was so peaceful sitting and watching the water. You can tell the dock was recently redone and they did an great job.
The house is surprising large inside and well insulated for its age. No drafts and with dual zones everyone was nice and cozy.
Meg had the house stocked with most of your essentials like laundry detergent, fabric softener, and trash bags. We used the two folding chairs to watch the parade in town. We will definitely come back!!
Our group of friends and family stayed at the Creek House while participating in the annual bicycle ride at Exmore. The house was exactly as advertised, very clean, and perfectly equipped. We cooked a great dinner the first evening -- kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the sunsets both evenings -- perfect chairs located to view the sunset as well as a fire pit. We stayed to watch the sunset on our second night, then went to nearby Onancock for dinner (Mallards at the Wharf -- excellent!)
On Sunday morning, after breakfast, we went for a walk in the very beautiful neighborhood -- trees changing and many very quiet streets to choose from.
We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year for the ride.
Meg, our host, was very easy to work with and answered all of our questions very quickly.
