Everything about our stay was wonderful! Katy, the host was amazing from start to finish. She was excellent at communication. She was quick to answer any questions that we had prior, during, and after our trip. Her home was beautiful and was exactly as described. She goes above and beyond in making the home feel like your home! It had everything and more that you would need! We enjoyed the backyard. Our daughter loved being able to fish off the fishing dock! That was a fun perk! Thank you, Katy for making our first stay in Chincoteague so wonderful and full of great memories to cherish! We hope to be back someday soon!!

We have stayed here several times. I appreciate the cleanliness of the property, a super stocked home that has just about everything you might need during your stay. It’s lovely to spend time on the quiet and private screened porch overlooking the little canal and be serenaded by birds. This is a a quiet neighborhood and we walked into town daily. We love staying here! Katy is easy to communicate with and we appreciate her so much as well.

Katy has provided a superb home from home experience. Everything is excellent. The house is extremely comfortable, clean and bright. Well appointed and everything is high end. Katy has even provided so many extras, too numerous to mention, she has thought of everything snd worked hard to make it perfect. There's nothing short or missing, it's all there! It was a delight and peaceful and private to sit in the covered porch overlooking a creak in the mornings and evenings and even a little landing by the water with seating. Katy was easy to contact abd very friendly.I have no hesitation in recommending this exceptional home.

Great Location!

The location of Seaside Serenity was perfect! It was far enough away from the tourist spots to be quiet but close enough for a short drive to local attractions. The house was beautifully appointed and the hostess was so helpful and gracious!

First time in Chincoteague

I let my son pick the place for our little spring break trip and he chose very well! This property was very spacious and clean. There were also so many items provided that we could have packed a little lighter. Katy was very easy to communicate with and the location was perfect. We will definitely be back. It was an amazing experience for our little family and two dogs.

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Fuller

Host profile image
A lifelong Chincoteague vacationer, I first visited the island because my mother – an educator for Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools – fell in love with “Misty of Chincoteague” after assigning the book to her reading class. At the time, a fellow teacher had a vacation home on the island, and my mother was enthralled with the idea of visiting with her 4-year-old daughter (me). Our first vacation here was enchanting; I’m sure she never imagined she’d develop such affection for this island community.

After annual vacations and eventually retirement, my mother fulfilled her life-long dream of owning a Chincoteague vacation home. Through 2016, she cherished her time at Seaside Serenity and shared her love of the island by inviting friends and family, befriending fellow vacationers and residents, and throwing marvelous parties and get-togethers. An amazing hostess, she loved to entertain, and her parties were legendary.

I wanted to continue my mother’s legacy of offering a welcoming and comfortable home-away-from-home, so I hope you and your guests find Chincoteague as peaceful and charming as I and that your stay in Seaside Serenity leaves you restored, rejuvenated, and wanting to return to the island year after year! —Katy

What makes this property unique

Tucked away in a private community, Seaside Serenity is a peaceful getaway with just a quick walk to spectacular bayside sunsets, carnival grounds, and downtown Chincoteague. There is absolutely nothing like relaxing at the pool after a day on the beach or pony-watching on Assateague. With outdoor amenities including a fishing dock overlooking the canal, Seaside Serenity will surely leave vacationers rested and relaxed.
