Chincoteague Island, Virginia
Moorings North is an unique architecturally designed five bedroom home in the heart of Chincoteague Island, VA. The house is elegantly decorated and has mesmerizing panoramic views of Chincoteague Bay. It is conveniently located in walking distance to small shops, a coffee house, and restaurants.
This elegant, but cozy home is an ideal waterfront vacation spot for families as well as for couples who are seeking a romantic getaway.
Be our guest at Moorings North and enjoy your vacation in a beautiful setting with nearby award winning beaches and wildlife refuges.
Two-story porches grace the front of this dynamic house from where you will enjoy the rising sun. You will enter a light filled two-and-a-half story high entrance hall with a grand staircase, and French chandelier. Ascending the stairs, you’ll be delighted along the way by the views to the water from three towering windows, or take the convenient windowed elevator to the living level on the upper floor.
With the reverse floor plan the upper level is the main living level including the great room with beverage bar, kitchen, master bedroom, and a full bathroom.
Arriving in the great room your eye (and your heart) will quickly be drawn to what you’re here for: a wall of nine windows will open up sweeping views of sun-diamonds dancing on the sparkling waters of Chincoteague Bay. Simply stunning!
The great room is combined with the dining area and an open concept kitchen, which invites you to entertain yourself, your family and your friends. The towering cathedral ceiling in the great room will give you a sense of space and open feeling on hot summer days as well as a cozy atmosphere by the gas fireplace during your relaxing winter vacation. You’ll enjoy preparing locally caught seafood in the fully appointed gourmet kitchen. Two ovens, warming drawer, microwave, dishwasher, granite counter tops and more are waiting for you. While some gather around the large screen plasma TV on the fireplace wall, one or two may prepare drinks at the beverage center.
The spacious kitchen with its cherry cabinets and granite counter tops is sure to be a popular spot to entertain. There is plenty of room to pitch-in for cocktail and canapé, or prepare a delicious supper of fresh seafood purchased at the town dock.
While the house has two climate control systems, there will be days when you will want to open the French doors leading from the dining area to the columned, covered Gazebo-in-The-Sky: outdoor relaxation sublime high above the sparkling waters. Here, it’s likely you will linger (probably everyday) while the sky turns shades of magenta and orange as the sun descends into the bay. In this amazing outdoor living space you’ll find a gas grill to bring even your cooking outdoors, a dining and a conversation set.
Up a spiral stair from the Main Level is the Tower-Hide-Away with three additional twin beds, just right for the young, and the young-at-heart. The view from the highest point of the house over the waters are indeed again breathtaking. Tower guests share bath on Main Level..
At the end of your day on Assateague Island’s pristine ocean beach (or perhaps you climbed to the top of the lighthouse ) you’ll be ready to enjoy a great night’s rest in your private quarters on the Lower Level. Because there are two master suites, each equally tasteful decorated rooms with king-size bed, granite top make-up vanity, walk in closet, bathroom with separate tub, and walk in shower, perhaps there won’t be any trouble over ‘who-gets-to-sleep-where’.
A word about the bathrooms: one has a large Kohler soaking tub, the other one has a Kohler whirlpool tub for two. Did we mention that each of these suites has a private balcony over the water
On this level there’s a room with two twin beds, and an ensuite bath with water view window in the shower.
As many of the houses on the coastline Moorings North is elevated, which will give you extra storage space on a partially enclosed ground level and direct water access. Tie your up to 65’ long boat up in deep water at our bulk-headed dock right there. Catch your all time fresh crabs and fish right from the dock. How much fun will it be for children and grown-ups to provide your seafood dinner right from the water in front of your vacation residence Enjoy your summer evenings in the private sitting area, where you can roast s’mores at the fire pit. You hardly want to leave your vacation spot right on the water of Chincoteague Channel, but in case you would like to spend a day at the beach, we’ll provide beach chairs, sun umbrella and boogie boards for you. When you come back from a beautiful day on the beach, enjoy the convenience of an outdoor shower. From the ground level there is an elevator entrance handy for handling luggage and bringing in the groceries. This elevator makes all floors handicapped accessible.
Still some energy left Take one of the four bikes and explore the many attractions Chincoteague Island has to offer.
We will do whatever is in our hands to make your vacation time at Moorings North exceptional, comfortable, and unforgettable. We welcome you to our well-loved home on Chincoteague Island!
This property was amazing, everything was clean up to date and just a wonderful experience. It's located centrally around everything. The views were amazing and the place was just absolutely stunning. The only complaint that I have is that we had to leave at the end of our trip LOL
We all had a wonderful, relaxing time. We fished out back. The house is gorgeous and very accommodating. I can’t say enough about how soft the sheets were. Anything you would need was there. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your house. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all!!
Experiencing the Pony Swim Week has been a dream of my mom’s since she was little. We made that happen this past week. We knew we needed a special home to help us collect these memories for three generations of pony lovers. Moorings North was the perfect island paradise! The views from the home were outstanding-one day a bald eagle sat across from us for hours. We biked to Island Creamery and Mr. Whippy’s and also enjoyed Bill’s for a steak and seafood meal. Our waitress, Liz, we got to see at the carnival later that week. The small town warmth is hard to match! Get the week pass onto Assateague, bike the Wilderness Loop to see all the waterfowl, and climb the 178 stairs to the top of the lighthouse. We will return and we will stay at Moorings North. Excellent communication from Claudia and the most precious welcome basket. Fished with success from the house, guys did some crabbing and we had a crab boil one night. One of our favorite adventures and we fell madly in love with Chincoteague. Book with Claudia-you’ll be so happy!
We rented this home for Memorial Day weekend shocked it was available! The house was very clean and spacious we had 8 adults abd 2 children. The owners were so sweet and left us a gift basket and gift card for ice cream for the kids! We also were very fortunate to check in early too! There is plenty of room for multiple cars, we each felt like the rooms were our own aprtment there was so much space. Very close to everything you need in a short walk or even shorter drive. The sunsets were absolutely breath taking off of the porch and the view from the living room was perfect for the rainy days we stayed in to play board games (provided by the owners) but felt like we were still sitting on the deck! The keyless entry was a plus with a big group. The house had everything we needed and then some, we will definitely be back! 10/10 Recommend!
We were celebrating a 75th birthday with family ranging from 3-75 and this house was perfect. The elevator was a huge plus as 2 people have mobility challenges. Well outfitted, great location, easy access. The host was very responsive to our general questions.
Beautiful home, and perfect place for our mini-vaca
Everything about our stay was perfect, the deck, the well equipped kitchen, the whole living space, the bedrooms... we enjoyed all the things we did, the friendship we have, and a respite from every day worries. It was a perfect place for a weekend getaway for 6 women.. the first time in over 6 years!
Family Vacation over Spring Break week! We had a wonderful time! Lots of laughs, sight seeing and relaxing!
Great location about a mile from Assateague wildlife area and Wallops visitor center. Close to downtown but very quiet. Excellent bird watching in spring. Enough bedrooms for everyone. We’ll stocked house and responsive host. We look forward to visiting again.
Beautifully situated house right on the water with western sunset views. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked to allow the option of cooking in.
The house fit our needs perfectly. It was clean and comfortable. The owners were easy to communicate with. The location was easy to get to and close to everything. This is our second stay at this house and we would not hesitate to stay again.
Our family came to celebrate an anniversary. And we could not have chosen a better place. Age 10 to 80 found much to love. And we all left with wonderful memories.
Would highly recommend and definitely stay there again.
This house has anything you need to accommodate at least 10 people. The views out side the big windows are breathtaking. The waterfront property meets any persons needs. Its minutes from main street. This house will definitely be our go to when we stay.
The pictures cannot do this property justice and the owners were a dream to engage with. We stayed for our family reunion including my 96 year old grandmother and uncle who has trouble walking and they were able to spend time with us overlooking the water thanks to the elevator on site. Highly recommend!!
This property exceeds all expectations inside and out! Beautiful home that is well-equipped for a great time. Outstanding view, beautiful sunsets, many beautiful water birds. Outstanding host too!
We had a wonderful time staying at Moorings North. We we’re a group of 10 and everyone had space to sleep comfortably. The kitchen is well-stocked and perfect for cooking large meals. We would definitely stay here again.
Listing is accurate - house is amazing. Clean, comfortable with beautiful views. Responsive host. Wonderful weekend get away!
This property is even more impressive in person. Claudia and Claus Grill are the most thoughtful and gracious hosts. Our family had great time! The location can't be beat - Right along the canal and a short walk to the coffee shop & the creamery. Our favorite features are the decks with incredible views, outside firepit, elevator, large kitchen with open family room and large master suites. Highly recommend!
We were looking for a waterfront getaway to spend some quality family time together. Boy, did we get it. My singular criteria was water view. It was spectacular. The views were awesome and the accommodation was first class. Plenty of room to have both privacy and family time. We’ll be back!
