Chincoteague, Virginia
Chincoteague is an outstanding location to get away and still be able to maintain social distancing. Even on the most crowded days, it is quite easy to maintain your distance from others on the pristine national seashore. Chincoteague has also been a popular destination for city dwellers looking to minimize their risk as they work remotely. Three bedrooms and a loft. A waterfront King and a queen BR, a bunk room with bunk beds, one twin and another single twin bed in the loft. Great privacy for everyone with all bedrooms having direct access to a bathroom. Screened dining, chef's kitchen. Theater room with flat screen TV and DVD player. Sleeps eight in comfort and style. Launch your kayak from our pier when you're not catching big crabs or fishing. Covered parking, charcoal grill. Everything you need for a luxurious family vacation at the beach. This year we will include the use of our tandem kayak, paddles and life vest with the rental price. Tandem kayaks rent on the island for $65/day- so this is $400 value for our weekly guests!! Please make arrangements in advance. ***Just added!!*** We will also have crabbing nets and trot lines available for your use for crabbing off of our pier. Add chicken necks and sent the kids down to the pier to catch dinner for the family!
This spot was exactly what we needed. With 6 people, sometimes even if a listing says it sleeps 6 there’s not really enough room for everyone to hang out without getting on each others nerves. This listing definitely had enough room for all of us not just to sleep, but also to have room for all of us to spread out the one day that it rained while we were there. The view was amazing and the property was close to everything while being in a quiet area. A well stocked kitchen (the only thing I couldn’t find was a pitcher to use for lemonade - everything else was there!) and a list of all the best places to go on the island made everything a breeze. Thank you for a great week!!
Your home was just lovely and perfect. Attention to detail and the set up of this place was awesome! Hoping to stay here again next year at this same time.Thank you so much.
We had a very nice time in Chincoteague over Spring Break and the house was great. We enjoyed being by the water and my kids fished and crabbed off the dock. We could see the wild ponies from the house and dock in the distance. We hope to return again soon. The area the house is located is peaceful and quiet.
While the weather didn't exactly cooperate, we had a super, off-season weekend stay at the townhouse. First, the host is excellent with communication. We had a couple of hiccups and he responded immediately. The kitchen is ideal for cooking-with-a-view. There were just 2 of us, so we can't comment on other beds, but the master king bed slept well...and the view from the top floor balcony is lovely. (So much so, that we bundled up and made sure to have our morning coffee there, even in the cold!) Reliable internet (March Madness!), too. We rented bikes, since the wind wasn't ideal for kayaking, and cruised nearly 50 miles in a couple of days around the island & Assateague. (The townhouse is perfectly located to access the park.) Cannot recommend Rich & Chincoteague Bike Shop enough! Birding, biking, great sleeps & hosts, along with a wonderful kitchen in which to make lump fin crab cakes....who could ask for anything more?!!
We enjoyed our stay in this house very much. The location is beautiful and close enough to everything to be very handy but far enough to feel peacefully isolated. The kitchen was a big part of our stay and made our meals much more enjoyable than most of our meals out. The bar chairs were a little odd feeling and are probably getting past their IKEA lifespans, but the backyard screened in porch, and front-yard table gave us nice options to gather. We also enjoyed sitting on the pier and upstairs balcony. Scott and Beth's recommendations on where to get produce and local seafood were solid, and we agreed with their honest assessment of dining out in Chincoteague. Use the kitchen and local seafood place as much as you can! The master bedroom was beautiful and clean, and the balcony has a view across the street to the pier and bayside marshes, including the lighthouse. Those who are light sensitive might want a mask. There are blackout curtains, but the lighthouse goes all night, of course, and some light pulses around the curtain as the lighthouse turns. The queen bedroom was also very nice with a lovely view out the window. The bunk room would be great for young kids, but is a little less satisfying for an adult. It shares a bathroom with the queen room. We didn't use the loft, but it is up a vertical metal ladder out of the bunk room. I wouldn't have wanted to stumble up and down it in the middle of the night. We made a point of getting up early to watch sunrises, which I highly recommend. On hot August days, the early hours are both less-traveled-by, and cooler. The Assateague Island sunrises were spectacular and just a short drive away. We alternated with sunrises on the pier across the street. Lots of birds to watch, and a beautiful view. The house across the street probably puts food out for the Canadian geese and ducks, because they gather there everyday. Fun to watch them fly in and out at sunrise and sunset. They also slow the traffic down... sometimes to a crawl or stop, as they would take over the road. The weather was very hot and muggy during our stay, so the central AC was very comforting. The front room was a very enjoyable place to sit, look out the windows, and talk with family in the hot afternoons. The backyard grill is a Green Egg that has perhaps seen too many renters misuse it, but it did the job after a little work cleaning it up. Perfect for our small group of four. Overall, we had a great stay and would gladly return!
This is a lovely and comfortable property with lots of amenities including a well equipped kitchen. We loved the view over the marshes to the lighthouse. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. A big thrill was watching a 5:30 am rocket launch from the NASA facility at Wallops Island.
Great views of water ! House was Beautiful.
We booked this as a last-minute trip after other plans fell through, and it was amazing. The views out of almost every room are amazing, and we got out on the kayak every day. Scott was super-responsive and quickly solved a minor problem. The pass for Assateague was a bonus! We’ve loved Chincoteague in the off-season, and we’ll be back!
This townhome was beautiful and in a perfect setting. The internet was down while we stayed but the owner was working on it. We had a great time without the internet. We were in town for a high school reunion and everything was perfect.
We had another enjoyable week of vacation at lovely Chincoteague. The house worked well for our family of 5 adults (2 couples and a single). There is a beautiful view from the 3rd floor balcony. The use of the kayak was nice and the dock not too far of walk. I can't think of anything we lacked as far as the kitchen. The front door lock was not one of those boring put in a key and turn to lock it types - it required a certain amount of finesse and skill to get it to latch. Those in my family with less patience just went out the back door - which worked just fine.
