The backyard and creek are great for spending time outside. Please do know that after rains, the yard may be wet. Also, if you'll be spending time at the creek, many of our guests find bug-repellent helpful. This comes with the territory of being coastal and having a creek, of course!
Linens -- including bedsheets and towels -- are included! (Yes, we think it’s weird no one else seems to do this. We want you to relax and enjoy yourself.) :)
We often take our two little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly.
Beyond the cottage itself, we love how close we are to Assateague Island and National Seashore -- less than a 15 minute drive. Explore the miles of hiking trails, relax on the beach, and view the wild ponies! On your way to/from the beach, you’ll drive through cute little downtown Chincoteague with great shops, cafes, restaurants.
Very clean, area clean and neat
We were all delighted at how much space the cottage had. It was truly our home away from home.
We enjoyed our time in this classic beach cottage - good space for being indoors, all while drawing you outside . Back yard is great for hanging out (even though our weather wasn't great).
No bath mats or hand towels in bathrooms. Master shower leaked each time it was used. We had to use extra towels to mop up the water. Not trash bags provided (contacted Tony to get some). No dish towels provided. Paper towels and toilet were cheap and very thin, so you had to use twice as much. Ran out of toilet paper mid week. Contacted Tony and was told no one was available to bring us any more. Had to go to an Island store to buy some. Prices are higher, despite it being off season. I emptied the 2 humidifiers daily. I was not asked to, but did due to the humidity in the house. Mid week, issue's with AC. Maintenance man showed up over an hour late. He said he thought it was the thermostat. It did work the rest of the stay. Run down trailer right next door. A man sat in his recliner 24/7 watching tv with his window wide open. Kinda creepy! Shower curtain in bathroom was yellowed and gross at the bottom. Small TV, roku needs replaced. LR furniture uncomfortable (it is wicker with cushions). LR is small and limited furniture. Not enough room for more than 3 people. I was texted the night before trash day and told to put the trash out. We had been there 2 days. All the trash was from the previous people. But, I did it. Too many reminder texts about checkout. I am not a moran. DO NOT do Barnacle Bills Boat Tour. Paid over $100.00 and did not see 1 single pony or dolphin!
Enjoyed a long and glorious weekend in Chincoteague with family. The cottage was quaint, clean, and it was greatly appreciated that linens were provided. Communication with the host was exceptional. House instructions and tips for the local area were on point. The screened in patio and the backyard view was tranquil. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The pony penning week experience was amazing and highly recommended. We were disappointed to learn upon arrival that the master bath was under construction. The shower was unusable resulting in 4 adults sharing 1 shower. Not ideal anytime but especially challenging when outdoor activities result in sweat and grime. The host/owner was very responsive, but responses were automated and disingenuous. For example, when told the grill was not operable or safe, he quickly said he'd alert his handyman, but we never saw or heard from the handyman and the grill remained unusable. We made the best of it and enjoyed the experience, but the house was not additive.
Comfortable quaint cottage on Main St. with easy checkin. Tony was very helpful and responsive. Great location for touring Chincoteague.
Sweet spot. friendly communicative owner.
This house had everything we needed! It is so convenient to have the sheets and towels provided without having to pay extra for them. I would definitely rent the house again, hopefully for a longer stay next time!!
Nice clean house for a family, close to everything on the island but quiet.
Came for a weekend trip with our adult children and grandson. Lovely little place with a nice screened in back porch. We spent a lot of time on the porch and around the firepit. Spent some time at the beach and did a sunset cruise. Wonderful weekend. The place is well-equipped and it’s great not to have to bring linens. One thing is to come prepared with some bug spray-goes with the territory so it’s to be anticipated but the mosquitoes are pretty intense. Highly recommend the place!!
The house was very cute and clean. It was quite spacious….larger then it appears from the outside. Communication with the host was great! He was quick with answers to all my questions!
