Clean and comfortable, great home base for a visit.

The place was clean and comfortable. We used the excellent charcoal grill our first night and the kitchen was equipped with all you need to cook for your crew. Beds were comfortable and AC units kept the place cool.

Great location! Very clean. They had all the things a little family vacation needed. It was nice to have some toys for the kids to play with while taking a break from the heat. The beach was super close and so was the park. If you're looking for a family friendly place look no further!

A perfect stay

This property was everything we needed for a trip to Chincoteague! The house was exactly as listed and the owner’s effective communication was top notch. The location of the house was great and we were easily able to come and go with ease. We saw the ponies , did a boat tour , found a great playground and basketball court and ate the best ice cream. Highly recommend!

We have been to the island several times in the summer, but this was our first visit in the fall and this house was perfect for it- the screened in porch provided an ideal spot for soaking up fresh air and cozying up with a blanket and a book. The house is very nice- it was clean, in a quiet area, and super close to Memorial Park. We appreciated being able to use the bikes and had so much family fun exploring on them. We also biked to both Main Street and Maddox Blvd., not a bad bike ride at all! The backyard is another plus with the firepit. Great communication from the owners.

Quiet Island Getaway

This home is cozy, quaint, and so comfortable. It has the character of an older home with some great updates. The kitchen and dining area was perfect for family meals. The beds were comfy. The neighborhood is quiet while also being close to all of the attractions and restaurants. Our kids loved the Lincoln Logs and the big t.v. Kevin was an attentive host throughout our entire visit, even messaging to let us know about a rocket launch from Wallops and the best places to view it. This was a great vacation. We will be renting again!

Cozy, comfortable, clean, welcoming! Lovely home and decor - we didn’t want to leave! Comfortable beds, large living area and eat in kitchen. Thoughtful touches throughout the home. Quiet neighborhood. We used the bikes provided. There are kayaks, boogie boards and beach chairs. Washer and Dryer, Fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating. Close to everything! This trip was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream of seeing the Chincoteague ponies. Having a beautiful place to stay was icing on the cake! Highly recommend!!!!
We enjoyed exploring on the bikes!
Ponies at Assateague. We booked a 2 hour boat tour which I highly recommend.
Lots of great places to enjoy food and drink.

Clean and comfortable

In town for the Seafood festival. House was in a great spot for a 20 minute walk to Tom's Cove. We also enjoyed walking to The Pearl for food and beverages...and their live music by Emily on Friday night. The cottage was PERFECT. Very clean and well maintained with a great vibe. Front porch was great to hang out on. We wish we had more time, and slightly warmer weather, to hang out around the fire pit. We had a small issue with a storm door handle. Owner was very responsive and pleasant to work with. We'd love to visit again and would not hesitate to book at Happy Ours the next time!

Lovely rental with very communicative owner!

At the time I booked this property, there were only 2 reviews, and I was hesitant to stay without knowing more. But the description and the pictures looked great, so we decided to give it a chance. The home was exactly as described, though the family room and kitchen areas were even bigger than we imagined. There was a lot of beach-themed decor, which added to the charm. We had some questions for the owner, including during our stay, and he always replied immediately. It was about a 10 minute drive to the beach, but regardless of where you stay on Chincoteague, you'll have to drive to the beach. It was very close to Memorial Park, which had a nice playground for younger kiddos, and is where they do the Pony Swim. It was close enough to the main street with a majority of the restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property and stay again.
