We absolutely loved the location of the property - so walkable and bikeable to so many fun things, and nestled in a neighborhood with a great vibe. Easy communication with the host when we needed it, too.
The perfect location and accommodations for our family vacation. Got another bucket list vacation on the books! We had a wonderful time and the house was so perfect and relaxing. It was a very enjoyable experience.
My husband and I enjoyed our return to Chincoteague after several decades and this place made our visit very convenient. It’s a great location in a quiet neighborhood with a comfortable queen bed, full bath and well-equipped kitchen all on the ground floor. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Did a day at the wildlife refuge and spent some time on the beach. Plan to come back and enjoy another stay.
My family & I really enjoyed our stay! Walkable to restaurants & shopping. Kayaking to see ponies was a highlight! We felt at home here and especially loved the porch swing. So relaxing! Would love to come back!
We loved the location of this home. It’s within walking distance of many places and an easy drive to the beach. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet. Communication with the owner could not have been smoother. She was extremely responsive and couldn’t have been more accommodating. We enjoyed a lovely week there and would stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Kaylea Burton/Robert Burton
Hello! I'm Kaylea! My family and I have taken on the adventure of hosting stays at our favorite place on earth, Chincoteague Island! Our family has been coming down to the island from Pennsylvania since my diaper days, many years ago. My dad stumbled across the island while striper fishing, which used to take place in Jersey, and the rest is history. He never returned to Jersey. The moments that we've shared together and wonders we've experienced here are irreplaceable. We share a special love of the ocean, so much so that we brought it back to Harrisburg with us and opened our own nautical gallery. We've had nothing short of amazing adventures here, and still do, but wanted to take part in giving others these same opportunities.
Why they chose this property
One of the reasons we fell in love with this property is its location! Being in the Historic Downtown of Chincoteague means you can walk right out the door and enjoy everything Main Street has to offer at your convenience! Being in the heart of the island town is especially appealing on Chincoteague considering you can walk or bike to just about any part of the island, not to mention the elimination of parking hassles!
What makes this property unique
We also take pride in our (no extra fee) amenities! As a family of 4 ourselves, we understand the struggle of getting bikes and kayaks on the island, whether that means transportation from Pennsylvania or saving up to rent them once on the island. We want others to enjoy these activities when they stay with us! Our other highlights include an outdoor shower, outdoor dining area, charcoal grill, screened-in porch with a swing, basic beach supplies, in-unit laundry, clothing line, and private parking for one. We strive to offer a place where you and your family can have a phenomenal vacation and hope that by providing these amenities, we've done our part in doing just that!
