Summary:

Welcome to Creekside Retreat - a cozy Chincoteague cottage where quiet mornings, coastal wildlife, and relaxed evenings come together for an easy island escape.



- Sleeps 6 | 3 bedrooms | 4 beds | 2 baths

- Private creekside backyard w/ patio & grill

- Sunroom + screened-in porch for year-round relaxing

- Fast WiFi & dedicated workspace for remote work

- Fully equipped kitchen & bathroom essentials

- Pet-friendly & close to Assateague Island beaches



The Space:

Morning light filters through the sunroom as birds gather along the quiet creek behind the house, and the island feels unhurried even in the cooler months. Crisp coastal air, rustling reeds, and the gentle movement of water create an easy rhythm for slow mornings and relaxed evenings.



The cottage at a glance

This entire cottage in Chincoteague offers a comfortable, grounded retreat for couples, families, or small groups of friends. The home accommodates up to six guests with three bedrooms and four beds, along with two full bathrooms. Single-level living means no interior stairs, making it easy to settle in and feel at home from the moment you arrive.



Indoor spaces to unwind

Indoor spaces are designed for lingering. The front sunroom and the screened-in porch provide two distinct places to unwind - whether you’re reading with a warm drink, watching the creek, or simply enjoying the quiet. Central heating keeps the home comfortable, and WiFi supports streaming, remote work, or video calls. A dedicated workspace in a room with a door makes it easy to balance downtime and productivity.



Kitchen, dining, and essentials

The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals at home, and the dining areas invite long, shared dinners after a day exploring the island. Bedroom and bathroom essentials are provided, including linens and towels, so you can pack light and settle in quickly. Laundry is available in the building for added convenience, especially for longer stays.



Outdoor living by the creek

Outdoor living remains a highlight year-round. The private, fully fenced backyard opens to the creek, where herons, egrets, and other coastal wildlife are frequent visitors. After rain, the yard may be wet, and being close to the water means bug repellent can be helpful at times. The patio, & grill offer a simple way to enjoy the outdoors even in cooler weather. Free on-site and off-site parking is available.



Pet-friendly convenience

The cottage is pet-friendly, and dogs are welcome. Cats are not allowed. Self check-in with a smart lock and free parking on the premises make arrival and departure easy.



Exploring Chincoteague

Location is a major part of the experience. Assateague Island and the National Seashore are less than a 15-minute drive away, offering access to beaches, trails, and the famous wild ponies. On the way, you’ll pass through downtown Chincoteague with its local shops, cafes, and restaurants - close enough for convenience, yet far enough to return each evening to a quieter lane by the creek.



Who this space is for

This space suits travelers who appreciate nature, a relaxed atmosphere, and the simple comforts of a well-equipped coastal cottage.



Note

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!



We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).

    House was exactly as advertised. Everything worked as expected. This house is one of the few in this town that offered linens, a big selling point for us.

    The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. However, I was disappointed that the fire pit, one of the main features advertised, was rusted and broken. It would have been nice to enjoy a working fire pit as shown in the listing. Overall, the home itself was pleasant, but the outdoor amenities could use some maintenance.

    We actually passed the house the first time because the photo is photoshopped and does not represent what the house currently looks like. It smelled musty upon arrival and there were two dehumidifiers in the house. We had the air conditioning set on 70 and we still had to empty the large dehumidifier four times and they small one six times and we were not even there for 48 hours. We tried to get a late check out because the place was not rented the following day, but they could not accommodate us because of their cleaning crew schedule. Check out was at 10:00 a.m., so we had to get up early and do a bunch of work and empty dehumidifiers and sweep and vacuum floors before we left. Seemed like a lot of work, and a bit pricey for what it was. All of the bulbs were burnt out in the laundry room leading to the screened porch. They were no lights in the screen porch either and there were no lights in the backyard to walk our dogs. The grass back there was kind of long as well. Aside from all that, the house was well equipped with necessities for cooking and such.

    Nice and quiet spot on island, kind of away from the busy parts of island.

    I thought the property was just ok. It had a musty smell inside. The shower in primary bath couldn’t be used because of the water that came out. There was only one bath towel for each person, one hand towel in each bathroom and one towel in kitchen. The shower in the other bathroom was great. There was no place to hang clothes in the primary bedroom. The backyard was not inviting. It was nice to have 2 dining areas and the a/c worked great. One of the dehumidifiers was very noisy and needed to be turned off sometimes so we could hear each other. They also had to be emptied frequently. The beds were comfortable. There was limited parking; the road is too narrow for parking.

    Large kitchen and overall convenient location. Toilet paper holder in bathroom was missing so we had to chase the roll a few times after it fell off the back of the toilet. I'm guessing they can fix that easily.

    Started out poorly. Had difficulty finding in the rain and dark at night. Tony our host did send us a picture so that was helpful. Inside the house was clean. However the screened in porch and the backyard area was a mess. We had looked forward to eating outside on the porch but the furniture etc was so filthy we could not do that. In addition the steps off of the driveway were very steep. Also the way the screen door opened on these steps it was difficult to get to the railing. We are senior citizens so that was a big safety issue for us. One very good point was the glassed in porch on the front. Another plus was the beds were comfortable and the air conditioner worked good. Another issue was when we were trying to checkout the code for the lock box was different from the handbook we downloaded and the one Tony sent the first night. We were using the one in the handbook and we could not get the box open to put the keys in. We spent quite a bit of time trying to figure it out until we tried the one that Tony sent us.This is a good placement for a young family who will be out most of the day.
