~IMPORTANT INFORMATION~
LINENS AND TOWELS ARE NOT INCLUDED. However, we can provide these items for you at a cost of $17 per bed.

We supply 4 keyhole life jackets (standard orange) but feel free to bring your own properly fitting life jackets. Guests will need a way to transport kayaks. | Our personal beach gear and bikes are available for your use but these items are not professionally maintained. For this reason we can not guarantee all items will be in usable condition.


~ABOUT THE LOCATION~
One of the highlights of our beach house is that it is within walking distance to the Historic Downtown of Chincoteague! Here you will find restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, coffee shops, the waterfront park, a fishing pier and all that Main St has to offer! We are located off of the intersection of Clark St and Main St. Three blocks north you will find Chincoteague's other main road, Maddox Blvd, which will take you right out to the beach!

Getting around is extremely convenient from our location. Our close proximity to downtown eliminates any parking hassles! In addition to being within walking distance to Chincoteague's in-town activities, any part of the island is just a bike ride away! We have parking for one dedicated to our building and free street parking facing east on Clark St.

    Great location, good advice and information about the area, host was very responsive. Tiny hiccup involving linens, we expected them to be on the beds when we arrived. We had to put them on ourselves, which normally would be no big deal, but we were all tired from traveling all day. Once we got over that, everything was wonderful!

    This is a perfect beach house, close to town, easy drive to the beach and walking distance to many attractions. The house has character and is comfortable. The host is responsive to any need and the fact that they supply bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, 4 kayaks and even a folding beach wagon makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Sir-Whelks-a-lot to anyone looking for a great vacation cottage on Chincoteague. Thank you to the host and owner for sharing their beautiful, perfect beach house.

    We loved the location of this home. It’s within walking distance of many places and an easy drive to the beach. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet. Communication with the owner could not have been smoother. She was extremely responsive and couldn’t have been more accommodating. We enjoyed a lovely week there and would stay again.

    Sir Whelk-a-Lot was the cutest little cottage on Chincoteague Island. It was centrally located on the island and easily located. The house was clean and welcoming and easily accommodated the 4 of us during the weekend.The hosts were fabulous to work with and they provided everything we needed!If you're looking for a weekend getaway, this is a great place. I think we'll return in the future!

    We had a great time at Sir Whelk-A-Lot! It was the perfect little cottage for our family of 6 and we will definitely come back!Our older boys really enjoyed having their own space upstairs, although you have to be really careful on the short, steep, carpeted stairs to the room. We had several slips when coming down. The location is great! Lots of stuff in town was within walking distance and the fact that bikes were included made everything but the beach easily accessible. For those not familiar with Chincoteague, the beach is out on Assateague Island and would be quite a hike from anywhere on Chincoteague on foot or even by beach cruiser bike. Best to drive in and bring your bikes with you to cruise around within the park on their beautiful bike trails. To save funds and maximize the fun, we decided to make most of our meals at the house. The kitchen was great and had most everything we needed for cooking and serving. The only thing it didn’t have was any cabinet space to put away our groceries that were not refrigerated, so we kept everything out on the big island countertop, which worked just fine. One thing we were really excited about was the kayaks that were included as an option with our stay. Our boys love kayaking with their dad and we totally would have taken advantage of those except we had some pretty chilly and windy days. Which just means we must come back soon to Sir-Whelk-A-Lot during our summer break to enjoy those on a sunny day!

    We booked this last min and I’m so glad we found it. Very conveniently located to downtown, it made it easy to explore the island. The property was super clean and the hosts were very organized. We only had three people but this could easily fit a larger family. Would absolutely recommend.to others.

    We stayed for 3 nights in this comfortable home. Plenty of space for all 5 of us (4 adults and 1 teen) to cook easy breakfasts, lunches, and bake cookies, play board games, as well as a great home base for walking to restaurants, shopping, and heading out for nature walks, boat tours. We very much enjoyed our stay. Easy communication with owners, too.

    Stayed in the off season when it's nice and quiet. The home was well kept, clean, and nicely situated. Owners were solid, and very responsive to the one issue we had (a sticking side entrance storm door - taken care of quickly). Comfortable bed, cozy couches, and a clean kitchen. Can't ask for better on a weekend retreat.

    This house served our group really well. It’s clean, spacious, and in a fantastic location to walk to shops along the main street. It’s in a quiet location, but in a perfect spot for activities. You can explore the beach and forest all day and this is the perfect place to relax and revive. There is an outdoor shower to wash the beach off after a day in the sun. You can’t go wrong staying here. It’s hard to have a bad time on Chincoteague island. This house will accelerate your wonderful stay.

    We had a great stay with our family of six- kids aged 9-14. Having the bikes was a hit for the teens to be able to roam to get ice cream or to fish at the park. It was clean and cozy. The host did a great job communicating before and during our stay. If we get to Chincoteague again, will definitely check here for available!
