Came in to an extremely clean, well taken care of home. Plenty to common space to eat meals and watch movies together, yet well separated bedrooms to also enjoy our private time. Although not directly on the water, still beautiful sunrise views from the front window (pictured here). And the hot tub under the stars made for the ultimate relaxing end to our days exploring. Less than 10 minutes away from everything-Highly recommend Up the Bay Pony tours for a closer look at all the wild life, Island Creamery for unique icecream flavors, Gary Howard for fresh seafood and AJ's on the Creek for fine dining! Only negative would be the amount of supplies we had to bring on our own and the required cleaning upon check out for the price/fees we paid. But despite this would definitely stay here again for our next visit to the island.
Lovely cottage in a great location, comfortable and attractive, great for two couples. We all loved it.
We had a fantastic time staying at Shell Cottage. The cottage was exactly as advertised. It is much bigger inside than it looks and we loved the beach theme used inside for decorating. Our pup really enjoyed the large fenced yard, the kitchen was well stocked and the location was perfect for our needs. The hot tub was an amazing addition that we enjoyed daily during our visit! The downstairs front bedroom gets very bright in the morning. Because of this I would recommend adding black out curtains but it did not deter from our stay at all. Overall, this cottage was amazing and we would stay there again during future visits to Chincoteague.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The little cottage and its location were good, however, there were some things that could be improved. For example, none of the TVs were functioning. Our rental agent, Lea, suggested that someone could stop by, but in the limited time we had available we were on the go most of the time. Although our first impression of the property's appearance was positive, there are some serious cleaning issues; for example, inside of kitchen cabinets and appliances. Among other details the yard needs urgent care. Finally, instructions about where to find what would be extremely helpful.
No complaints whatsoever. Lovely home, great location (nice and quiet), easy reservation process.
Shell Cottage - don't want to give a good secret away, but this property is wonderful. TV was tricky - need a note regarding how to connect - and the beds are not the most comfortable but are ok. Everything else is great! New dishwasher and stove were installed while we were there - and the hot tub was a great surprise!! We will definitely be returning again. Best yard for the dog too!
We enjoyed our stay at Shell Cottage! It was close to everything we wanted to do (bike rental, walkining trails, pony tour by boat, great restaurants). Kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfy, as was the living room sofa. Our dog especially enjoyed playing in the big fenced yard. Four stars, because the dishwasher quit on the second day, but I'm sure it will be replaced for the next guest.
We chose Shell Cottage for the fenced yard, and partial water view. The pet friendly house is a priority for our two dogs. The house was decorated so very nicely, great beach theme. Very comfortable couch and chairs. Great furnishings. loved the upstairs bedrooms. Super cute. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Even though we brought home lots of steamed clams and fresh fish. It was nice to know we had all the utensils we may need. Rode bikes to the wildlife loop beach access everyday, about 5 miles. Then walked the beach. A really wonderful experience staying for almost a full month. Love the Eastside Road location. The folks at bike/outfitter shop were super friendly and helpful. The folks at the Resort office were great -and super helpful, and came right away when I locked myself out! Loved our time at Shell Cottage. Clean and comfy. Thank you so much for making it very pet friendly. everything was just wonderful!
Great time. Needs a new kitchen faucet and trash can that works otherwise very open and spacious.

Loved Shell Cottage! Great house layout. Loved the outdoor spaces. Easy access to boat ramps and all other activities. The fenced in yard was a big plus! In addition, Chincoteague Resort Vacations were extremely helpful in getting a new refrigerator in place when the old one died. Great service!
We had a great stay over Memorial Day Weekend. The house was as-described and in a perfect location. We could see the ponies from our windows! We did have a bit of trouble with the A/C and refrigerator, but when we reported it to the property manager, they were at the house within 15 minutes and had everything fixed. Would highly recommend staying here!
We loved our time. Great location, great set up and an awesome fenced in yard for the pups!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! what a beautiful place. Perfect neighbourhood - so close to the water, so close to town. The house itself is picture perfect and true to form. Seriously top shape place -- my family would love to come back again. We visit Chincoteague every year.. and this place aces all of our stays.
We loved the space & seashell decor for this property. We've never seen so many conch shells in one place! We were inspired to search the beach for our own. The space was perfect for our crew. The kids had the upstairs bedrooms and adults had downstairs. The queen beds were a bit too soft for us, but we slept just fine. Description says charcoal grill, but we didn't see it anywhere on the property. There's a fire pit, but we didn't end up using it.
