This is a great place to stay! The backyard is a great place to hang out and feels very private. Our kids enjoyed the complimentary boogie board at the beach! We would not hesitate to book this home again.

This was a wonderful place to stay! You are so close to Chincoteague and the wild ponies. But you are also in your own tucked away space. I would highly recommend this place for everyone! So much space for everyone to relax and unwind after a day at the beach. I would gladly stay again! The owners were so kind and if I had a question they answered so quickly. Can’t recommend this enough!!

Charming, well-equipped cozy home. We loved the cleanliness and open downstairs floor plan. The backyard’s functional outdoor entertainment space with deck, abundant outdoor table seating, hammock, and fire pit was enjoyed by all ages. The updated upstairs bathroom easily accommodated our family’s needs. Downsides are the small ants present in the kitchen area, lack of television remote in one bedroom (with twin beds), and uncomfortable mattress in the other secondary bedroom. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return in the future.

Property was great! House was clean and perfect for our family of 4. Enjoyed the deck and sitting around the fire in evening. Host was responsive and checked in throughout our stay. NASA is near by; we got to experience a rocket launch while crabbing on the pier one evening. Military base is close; we were able to see E2 Hawkeye planes fly over!

The home was very nice- clean, well appointed, and large for what we needed. Amenities were perfect. The hosts responded promptly to all questions. Check in was easy.The only small downside was that the house isn't actually ON Chincoteague Island, so it was a bit of a drive to get there, but this was manageable for the weekend and we had a lovely stay. Would come back.

Honestly, if I had to do all over again, I would’ve stayed on Chincoteague Island. It would’ve been more affordable and closer to where we were going every day.There is a gate to this community and there was no Wi-Fi so I couldn’t access the information that the gate guard asked us upon entering. Furthermore, for the price I paid at 425 per night, I would expect better toilet paper than one ply, I would expect that there is at least a roll of paper towels in the kitchen and I would expect that the beach chairs that were advertised were not torn and broken. Also, some coffee pods would’ve been nice since there was a Keurig. You get all these things at a hotel for less money per night. Apparently whoever stayed there before was too heavy for the beach chairs and they were ripped as well and unusable. I would not stay here again.

Perfect place to relax

We stayed here for a family get away and enjoyed the chincoteague area. The property is very clean and well maintained and has all of the amenities you would need. The property owners provided detailed instructions and responded promptly. I would recommend this property to others.

Nice Place to Stay

Great location near Chincoteague and Assateague. House has been remodeled and is spotless. Great shower and kitchen. Fresh drinking water is also provided. It was very well supplied and comfortable. It is located in a resort/campground so not spaced far from neighbors, but has lots of activities. One negative, like any location near a bay, there are mosquitos. So bring bug spray. Overall a really nice place to stay for a few days.

Great Property

Overall our stay here was great. The house was clean, and the furniture and beds were comfortable. The rooms are spacious. The only negatives for us were the very low water pressure in the shower, and having to park under a pine tree that dropped needles and sap all over our cars. All my interactions with the owner were great.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Oct, 2024
Thanks so much for review and feedback, very helpful and much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed your stay!! For future renters this is the first negative we have had regarding water pressure and pine needles, after some research and investigation it looks like pine trees like to shed needles in early autumn, we plan to trim this trees back to prevent in driveway during this time of year. We changed out the shower head in the shower which improved water pressure. Again we appreciate feedback as this helps us stay informed!

House

The house is in a very nice community campground! It made me miss camping and the restaurant there is super good and there’s even a crab guy within the park that will cook up your crabs that you buy from him and there’s a launch place for your boat. So many things but not close to many stores, very peaceful and relaxing!!!!

Great place to stay!

My husband and I visit this campground a couple times a year and we are so happy to have found this rental. We have family that lives here and knew exactly what to expect in the surroundings. This rental has everything that is needed for a very enjoyable stay and will definitely stay here again. House was very clean and stocked with all the amenities you could ask for. The fact that it is pet friendly is a huge plus for us. Thanks again Joe and Jean for sharing your house with us and I am sure you will be hearing from me again 😀
