Chincoteague, Virginia
Eagle's View, our 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath waterfront house faces the Assateague Channel with a stunning view of Assateague Island, the gorgeous Assateague Lighthouse and wildlife refuge. There are three levels of waterfront outdoor living with our private lighted dock, screened porch, open-air deck and third floor intimate balcony. Adirondack chairs and dining table sets provide plenty of seating for your delicious fresh seafood feasts; a glider on the dock for relaxing and dreaming; a steel-framed hammock on the screened porch is ideal for reading and snoozing! The bright and spacious great room with soaring ceiling overlooks the water and marshes, with the refuge and lighthouse as a backdrop. Two queen master bedroom suites make the home perfect for multi-generational guests. The third floor loft (with water view) is a wonderful respite for kids with their own TV, VCR and DVD library plus board games and puzzles. From the loft a hallway leads to two more bedrooms (two twins in each) and a large shared bath. The nautically-themed bedroom has terrific water views down the Channel to the Ocean Inlet. A dramatic catwalk from the loft leads you to a waterfront balcony where you will enjoy the spectacular view.
The kitchen is fully equipped to provide for all cooking needs with everything from coffee bean grinder, ice cream maker, Kitchenaid mixer to stainless steel crab steamer. We also provide crabbing equipment. The laundry with front-loading washer and dryer is conveniently located near the master bedrooms. There is a powder room off the great room. Master bedrooms have TVs; 2 flat screen TVs are also in the sitting rooms. WIFI throughout. We enjoy watching the wild ponies grazing below the lighthouse, as well as star-gazing and bird-watching, so we provide our guests with the use of our scope.
Relax on the glider on our dock and gaze at the lighthouse, or lose yourself in a good book! Our deck seats 10 to 12 for great seafood dinners off the gas grill, out of the crab steamer or carried out from the many great seafood eateries. Our plentiful video/DVD library provides hours of movie viewing while snuggled up with loved ones on the two couches in the great room. Greet the mornings while watching the sunrise over Assateague Island; you will see and hear the marshes come alive with marsh birds, herons, egrets, turtles, etc. Glimpse the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead, on the way to his/her nest on Assateague. Photograph wading birds and water fowl right from our deck. Vacations at Eagle's View in spring and fall provide the opportunity to view many more species of birds as they travel on the Atlantic Migratory Flyway over Assateague and Chincoteague. When the snow geese fly overhead in late fall, it will take your breath away! End your day with a late evening glass of wine on the deck or balcony and listen for the occasional owl hooting, whippoorwill call or pony whinnying across the Channel. Be mesmerized by the sound of the crashing surf on the Atlantic beachfront!
We have decorated Eagle's View with art from local artists, our photographs, decoys, nautical maps and real antique anchors, to add to the seaside feeling. Our collection of antiques includes oyster plates, faux scrimshaw, shells, decoys and nautical memorabilia. The furnishings are high-quality but comfortable and inviting, making our guests feel welcomed and relaxed in a bright and airy setting.
The quiet location on Little Piney Island, on the Eastside of Chincoteague Island is private yet not remote. We are close to everything! Bike to Main Street or Maddox Blvd. for shops, restaurants, the Island Creamery, the Sea Star Cafe for great sandwiches, carry-out food shops, miniature golf, bumper boats, etc., or to visit the two museums on the way to Assateague. There are no through streets and no commerce on our little island-neighborhood, so there is safe biking for little ones and walking for all. The almost constant ocean breeze is a refreshing delight which really deters the mosquitos. This Eastside location is ideal to access:
~ the bridge to Assateague
~the Wildlife Refuge
~the Visitor Centers
~the Atlantic Ocean beachfront
~restaurants and shops
~kayaking
~fishing, tennis and the playground at Memorial Park
~public boat ramps
~bike, scooter and kayak rentals
~kayaking down the Channel to Etta's Restaurant for dinner
~great photo opportunities of the Lighthouse and water birds
~birdwatching

We had several family members staying on the island for the 50th Anniversary of the Oyster festival and we have out grown the family home so 6 of us adults stayed for the weekend. The house has great space and was very clean. I really appreciated that the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with plenty of kitchen tools and everything needed to prepare and serve family dinners including great space indoors and out for dining. The outdoor seating was clean and plentiful and we especially loved the seating on the dock. Like some other guest comments, I hope you will consider replacing the cookware which is really scratched and worn and the small sofas are clean but so worn. I think both of these things would make a great experience exceptional. I did not mind bringing sheets and towels and appreciated the reminder from the property manager. Thanks for a great experience and a terrific home. Much appreciated.
Wonderful property for the whole family to be together
Well appointed home with fantastic views, dock, birds, crabs and a great view of the lighthouse. Very clean and comfortable with a seamless checkin/out process. The local seafood restaurants are terrific and the natural beauty of the area is certainly worth returning to. We would highly recommend.
Perfect view of the chincoteague lighthouse. Light of the moon and the lighthouse reflects on the high tidal waters. Quiet.
Excellent location with great views of the bay and lighthouse. The house was great. Not fancy but enough room and privacy for our group of four adults and 3 children. Though a bit outdated inside, it felt homey, cozy, and it was clean. It is close to Assateague and Main St on a backroad way so easy access to the beach, shops and restaurants, but private enough that it was quiet and peaceful. Downside was the requirement to bring all towels and linens which appears to be common on Chincoteague. Also, minor points - couches were quite old and not very comfortable and the WiFi in the house was weak. Overall, it was a fantastic family beach vacation.
Great views of lighthouse, chairs on dock were filled most of the time. Lots of birds to see we saw an eagle from the dock - refuge is nice but put plenty of bug spray on and long pants and shirt may be in order if hiking - mosquitoes were bad - Beach however was great An hour drive to ocean city to walk the boards. Overall we loved the house and it served us well during some rainy times. Thanks
A great property. Amazing views. Very comfortable and clean. Deborah was super helpful and communicative. We all really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have been there for longer than the 3 days.
Our party was three couples and three pre-teen kids. With four bedrooms and three full baths (and a half bath) there was room and privacy for all! You cannot get a better location than this! It is located directly across from the Assateague lighthouse against the marshes. The home is very well appointed and comfortable (even the mattresses)! The three level of decks afforded views from all over, and the dock was perfect. It was easy to get to the town of Chincoteague and to the reserve. We plan to return again!
Great family vacation. Room for all 11 of us. Quite location. Clean house. Plenty of crabs caught off the pier and with the provided crab pot. Communication with the host was easy. Overall, I highly recommend this property.
Great location. Well equiped home with a beautiful view!
We are a party of 7, with three generations enjoying the beauty of Chincoteague. This house was perfect for our group—the house is spacious enough for a great family vacation. The dock was perfect for access to the marsh for kayaking and paddle boarding. It was everything that our group needed. This was our third time to the island and we definitely favor the Piney Island area. The house is close enough for bike riding onto the main strip and down to the beach. Debbie is a pleasure to deal with—we had no problems during our stay, but the check in process is smooth.
The house is centrally located to a lot of activities. Nice view of the lighthouse. Debbie was accommodating and friendly. Our family of 11 had plenty of room and bathrooms. We enjoyed crabbing from the dock, kayaking, bicycling, Asseateague beach and water park. From the picture you can't see the houses that are extremely close to the rental but the neighborhood is quiet. There are quite a few steps front and back on the house if that might be a problem. Be careful of the neighbors dock if you have kids. It needs rebuilt. The pros definitely outway the cons. You will enjoy it.
We had such a great time! Very clean. Everything was close and the view of the lighthouse and ponies grazing on the other shore was so cool! Lots of games and puzzles for down time.
