    Lovely home and very nice host!! Unfortunately, AC broke and part was not readily available. We were able to open most of the windows. Days at the beach were fabulous!!! Laundry services were about 20 minutes away.

    Ellen's home was perfect! I took my daughter, son-in-law, and 7 year old grandson and the layout of the home was perfect! I had the master with master bath, and they had the other two bedrooms with bath. There was plenty of room to spend time together and also apart. The couch in the living room was very comfy if one needed to sleep there and there also a futon in the entry room. The kitchen has everything you need, including cooking oil, salt, pepper, and other seasonings. Appliances were new and there were also a great blender and numerous coffee makers (keurig, regular, etc.) I loved the pots and pans so much, I bought myself a set when I got back home. Comforters and blankets are provided but you need to bring your own sheets and towels. (don't forget a kitchen towel if you don't want to use paper towels all the time). There is a Family Dollar just a few minutes away to pick up things you may need. The location was perfect as well. Tucked away so you didn't feel like you were in tourist-land, but so close to everything! Ellen was very responsive and helpful as well. I would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

    We have a very good time in this house. It’s near the bridge to the beach, in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The only problems were before we arrived. The owner sent an additional contract for cleaning and a security deposit a few days before we left for the vacation, which said that it was due weeks ahead of time. That was a bit of a surprise. I remind guests to bring not only sheets but towels, dish towels, and dish cloths, as well as trash bags, paper towels, and toilet paper.

    My family stayed at the Sandpiper House in Chincoteague. We've visited the island many times, but this was the first stay at Sandpiper. We have three teenage daughters and everyone had plenty of space. The beds are new and comfortable, the A/C worked amazingly well given the intense heat and humidity, the shower water pressure was wonderful, and the closet and dresser space plentiful. One thing I really appreciated was the well appointed kitchen, which is often a struggle in vacation rentals. Plenty of parking, perfect location, private, and VERY close to the beach access road. My only comment about the house was that it would be wonderful to have had a washer and dryer. It was not in the listing that a W/D was an amenity, I just assumed it was - my fault, and I didn't pack accordingly. But that would make the house perfect. Our hostess was wonderful, responsive and kind, even when I accidentally broke a lamp while cleaning. We hope to visit Sandpiper again. We loved it.

    We had a wonderful time in Chincoteague and very much enjoyed this home away from home. The decor is coastal and very nicely done. The beds! I was so relieved the beds were comfortable. Location worked out well for us, as it is right between Chincoteague “proper” and the wildlife refuge. Very wooded and private feeling. We would return ?

    A spacious, clean property located very close to the Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge entrance. More than enough room for our family of four.
