    Beautiful home. Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Very relaxing week (except for the darn mosquitoes). Chincoteague was only 35 minutes away and OCMD was 90 minutes. Ate at Mallards, Blarney Stone and Tavola in Onancock and all were excellent. There’s also an excellent bakery right in town.

    It was a very cute home with a lot of character and a beautiful view of the water. The downstairs bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but the one upstairs was fine so we just used that. It had an old house smell, but I suppose there isn't much that can be done about that. None of that really impacted our stay, though. It was very relaxing, a fair price and a great location halfway between Cape Charles and Chincoteague. I would stay there again.

    The views from this home were outstanding! I loved sitting on the dock and watching the sunset in the evenings.

    Overall is a very charming cottage. It could use a bit of maintenance to the grounds and the bathroom.

    My wife and our two boys and I spent a week at the Creek House. It was a lovely place to relax, fish, kayak, and dig into a good book. Town is a quick drive away and has everything you’d need. We would book with Meg again.

    My family was in Onancock for a wedding and this property worked out great. We had 3 couples and some small kids. The fact that there were 4 toilets was a big plus! We had to do some food prep for the wedding and the well stocked kitchen was great. The sunroom was a great hang out spot. My husband and I enjoyed taking the kayaks out. The dock was beautiful and the stairs down to the water were a big plus The hosts were very responsive and everything was seamless.

    Four 70 something one time kayak friends came to enjoy this waterfront home for a few days. It was absolutely perfect. Four bedrooms, three queen beds, and one with two twin beds. Plenty of space to hang out together or separately. Nice outdoor area, including a pier. Even though one day was rainy we were able to go out because we were on a sheltered cove. Lots of kayaking, destinations in the area, including on the Chesapeake Bayside, paddling to Onancock town, or traveling just a few minutes to the other side of the Peninsula and the ocean.

    The house is quaint and homey. It is an old house with some upgrades. The downstairs beds are comfortable (didn’t use upstairs) but the house needs a refresh on furniture and decor to be competitive. The grounds are fantastic and I spent a lot of time on the pier reading a book and watching the geese and fish. The owner is very sweet and promptly addressed any issues we had.

    We loved our stay at this VBRO. We stayed during the Labor Day Weekend. The house was super clean and the grounds were well maintained. The cottage is not far from Chincoteague (45 min) so we stopped on our way down and back home - visit Captain Barry. We ate dinners at Mallards (music on Friday Nights only 10 minutes away) and the Island House Restaurant in Wachapreague (25 minutes away). We liked both, but the Corner Bakery was awesome. The donuts were out of this world and I don't even like donuts that much (don't bother just buying 1, you will need a box). Lunch at Foggy Place Cafe was also worth noting. For being in the middle of nowhere, there were lots of shops and stores (walmart, movies, art shops, farmers market...) within 15 minutes. Fishing on the property was good. From the dock I caught croaker, red drum and many speckled trout (also caught fish from the kayak). Bait fish and jumping fish were everywhere. We caught crabs from the dock with a piece of rope tied to chicken wings scooping up the crabs using the net provided. At night we had bonfires and the night sky from the dock was amazing. The water was calm and the boat traffic was very low so my nervous wife was able to kayak (everyone should do this, we saw so many birds). As a reminder the area's regional bird is the mosquito - so bring bug spray and you will be ok. Meg was a great host and provided everything we needed. I can't recommend this property highly enough.

    From the moment we drove up to the beautiful cottage we knew our week was going to be special. Cottage is beautiful, quaint and idyllic! Landscaping is beautiful. Dock was great for fishing and sitting. Loved the kayaks! Onancock is a lovely town. Meg and her mom are great to work with! We will be back for sure!

    Quiet, Peaceful (which is what we were looking for), clean, and comfortable. Plenty to do in the area, but the heat was oppressive, so we didn't venture out. It was great being right on the water. Couldn't really see to the open water, like out to the bay, but you can see plenty of water birds, etc. Well equipped and vacation-y in the best way.
