Great for a getaway!

Great place on the water. We caught enough crabs off the dock to have dinner. Relaxing place to take the family and enjoy the seaside. I wish we had more time to enjoy.

Great place

All of my critiques are first world problems and not worth mentioning. Great place. Great view. Great location. Friendly neighbors. Nicely located about halfway between VA and MD assateague island. If you have a mobile infant/toddler, a pack and play blocks the spiral staircase perfectly. Will be staying again.

Peaceful

This is a very peaceful place to stay. It's quiet, but still close enough to things to do all within an hours drive. Ocean City is about a 40-45 minute drive, Assateague, MD to see the ponies on the beach is about 35-40 minutes. Assateague, VA and Chincoteague are 30-35, Wollops NASA station is 15-20 minutes. It overlooks Chincoteague Bay and the island of Chincoteague. My husband and i would definitely stay there again. Alms is you like seafood, that is one of the best areas for it. Definitely get some blue crab while you're there, so yummy!

Property was slightly run down and had no driveway (just grass). It was in a great neighborhood with a beautiful view. We had to take the trash 15 minutes south when leaving (in the opposite direction of home for us). It was good enough for us to relax and cook but a slight bit expensive for its outdated condition though.

The Purple Door House

The location is perfectly located 15-20 from the beaches, Chincoteague island, tourist area, horse farms, boat/kayaking and fishing charters. The home has a nice private dock and resides in a beautiful and large community. The community has pools a restaurant and playgrounds. We wish we had more time just to use the community amenities. Only recommendations we would make; full cleaning and inspection of the main AC unit, it had mildew and gave the house a musty smell. A deep clean on the carpets. Due to the musty mildew smell the carpets feel very moist and smell. Fix the dead bolt lock. The key would get severely stuck when inserted. We were lucky to get the key released but a lock smith should really take a look at the mechanism. Lastly, owners should invest in newer updated furniture, finish the sunroom with sheetrock, and purchase outdoor patio furniture. These things could easily be taken care of and none of the above stopped us from making the purple door home our regular place to vacation every year.

Beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay at the Purple Door. The views were spectacular and we enjoyed sitting on the deck. My husband taught my daughter to fish and she loved the dock area. We did use the amenities at Captain’s Cove and drove out to Assateague Island to see the horses. The location is tucked away from major attractions but we got used to the drive after the first day. The neighbors were friendly. Enjoyed our stay !
