Onancock, Virginia
Waterfront guest house on Onancock Creek, five minutes from the charming town of Onancock, Virginia. Designed by Architect Lewis Rightmier, the home enjoys spectacular water views from every room, a swimming pool, a dock with two boat slips for kayaking, fishing, and crabbing. Perfect for the outdoors person, or relaxing in the Adirondack chairs and watching the sailboats come in and out of the creek. Find local festivities on Chincoteague or the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce.
While our waterfront view and original Turner Sculpture perched by the private pool will make it hard to leave the property, a five minute drive into the quaint town of Onancock will take you to multiple boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and an amazing donut shop that you won’t be able to resist.
Take a peek of the town by searching "Onancock - A little slice of nowhere else" in YouTube. The description of the video says it best: "Nestled between bay and sea, Onancock weaves together a tapestry of stories from past and present through its people, places, cuisine, and art. Discover this gem of Virginia’s Eastern Shore that dazzled Captain John Smith over four centuries ago."

We are returning guests, and we loved our stay even more than last time-as we were familiar with the property and Onancock. The views from the guesthouse and pool on the bay is unbeatable, the guesthouse is wonderful and offers us everything we need to fully relax. Best part is for sure the swimming pool, we used it everyday and the water was again enjoyable warm in August. We met again the owners, who are wonderful people, on our last day, and we already told them how much we love to vacation in their guesthouse and that we will be coming back again 2024!
We really enjoyed the family/main room of the house. During the morning, nice to wake up with coffee and watch the fog over the water. In the evening, relaxing watching the sunset. In the evening, we settled in by the cozy fireplace. We were there during the fall, and the view of the changing leaves was breath taking.
We rented the Guesthouse for 13 days beginning August 2022. The pictures online are great, but in reality it was even much better. The property is very well maintained and managed by Emilee and the owners, whenever something came up we could reach them and get an answer within few hours. We really felt like sin good hands and at home in the guesthouse-with amazing water and pool views from almost every window! We were kayaking from the private small beach every day, so relaxing. We caught with the Crab trap at the boat dock every day some blue crabs and sometimes even some fish for dinner. The pool is the best part, its saltwater and heated by the sun-in August pretty warm water. Also, the property has amazing flowers, butterflies, birds...we really felt like in Nature and secluded (just be careful at Sunset at the small beach-there are some hungry sandflies in the evening). The WIFI first when we arrived was a bit spotty, but the Owner Scott had it fixed the same day and it was never anymore an issue. During our second week stay, we met the owners who are extremely nice people and very accommodating. They were very respectful about our privacy, but it was always nice to have some conversations inbetween. The place was perfect, but every place has some minor things which could potentially be improved. The combined kitchen fridge and freezer is very small (as in a hotel room). There was luckily another fridge next to the pool house, so we used it to store some of our extra food. Some extra freezer space would be helpful, but luckily we were bringing our own extra camping freezer with us. We ordered via Instacart food from the Food Food Lion store in town-and it was delivered within 2 hours, so next time no need to bring so many products with us. We really loved this property-it is really a special place-and are thankful to the owners to have had us as guests. While we were there, we already decided that we will be coming back next year and booked our stay already. We are looking forward for our next stay!
Bekki was a great host and made sure we knew everything about the home we needed. The views are soothing and there was plenty to do for everyone in the family!!
Wonderful home and uniquely peaceful place on the Chesapeake.
Beautiful property in a beautiful location. Welcoming amenities were lovely. Property manager was very responsive and helpful.
Everything was excellent, especially the quality of the home and the beautiful peacefulness of the location. My wife loved the pool. Will come back if we can. Everything just as described but overall setting is even nicer.
The house had everything we needed. They even provided shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent and beach towels. They even left us a delicious bottle of wine, cheese and crackers. The house was clean and comfortable. The pool and views were the best part! We had a wonderful vacation and are already looking at planning our next stay for 2022. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and even left us a handwritten welcome note. We highly recommend Leatherbury!!
Beautiful morning views from every room! The house was the perfect place to unwind and the pool was refreshing! The kitchen was fully stocked and we were pleasantly surprised by the wine, cheese and local donuts waiting for us! Communication was fast and responsive. Town is walkable and bikeable. Perfect for cyclists! Will stay again!
