Nice quiet location. Directions to the house were good. Check in was easy. House was comfortable for 8 people.The host and VRBO support team were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, there was a fish and chicken legs in the freezer that were old and should have been removed before we arrived.
My wife and our two boys and I spent a week at the Creek House. It was a lovely place to relax, fish, kayak, and dig into a good book. Town is a quick drive away and has everything you’d need. We would book with Meg again.
It was a very cute home with a lot of character and a beautiful view of the water. The downstairs bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but the one upstairs was fine so we just used that. It had an old house smell, but I suppose there isn't much that can be done about that. None of that really impacted our stay, though. It was very relaxing, a fair price and a great location halfway between Cape Charles and Chincoteague. I would stay there again.
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.
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.
My family was in Onancock for a wedding and this property worked out great. We had 3 couples and some small kids. The fact that there were 4 toilets was a big plus! We had to do some food prep for the wedding and the well stocked kitchen was great. The sunroom was a great hang out spot. My husband and I enjoyed taking the kayaks out. The dock was beautiful and the stairs down to the water were a big plus The hosts were very responsive and everything was seamless.
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.
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!
Four 70 something one time kayak friends came to enjoy this waterfront home for a few days. It was absolutely perfect. Four bedrooms, three queen beds, and one with two twin beds. Plenty of space to hang out together or separately. Nice outdoor area, including a pier. Even though one day was rainy we were able to go out because we were on a sheltered cove. Lots of kayaking, destinations in the area, including on the Chesapeake Bayside, paddling to Onancock town, or traveling just a few minutes to the other side of the Peninsula and the ocean.
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.
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!
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.
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!

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.
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.
