About the host

Hosted by Christine Rufener

Host profile image
My husband first took me on our 1 year Anniversary date to Chincoteague, I fell in love with the charming fishing village and we bought the cottage the very next year. We love anything that has to do with the ocean, fishing, seafood, boating, beaches, lighthouses, antiquing and sun!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the little cottage the day I went to look at it. It was filled with antiques and the lady had it decorated it so nicely. Unfortunately, they did not convey with the house. I loved the hardwood floors and quaintness of the cottage. It was perfect to me. I like to experiment with different colors. It is my fun place!

What makes this property unique

Two sun porches, deck, outside shower, walking distance to restaurants and shops on downtown Main Street.
