Great Property
Overall our stay here was great. The house was clean, and the furniture and beds were comfortable. The rooms are spacious. The only negatives for us were the very low water pressure in the shower, and having to park under a pine tree that dropped needles and sap all over our cars. All my interactions with the owner were great.

Loved it!!
I have to say this place is a hidden gem!! Not exactly what I expected.. but definitely worth the price for the location and amenities… I absolutely loved the ease of being there..every single thing we needed to know about was labeled and spelled out. Internet service and cell service.. wasn’t the best..no fault of the owner, just putting it out there. In return, they had a pretty cool selection of DVD’s.. which on the one rain day we had, was such a blessing. Also loved the pet friendliness..

House
The house is in a very nice community campground! It made me miss camping and the restaurant there is super good and there’s even a crab guy within the park that will cook up your crabs that you buy from him and there’s a launch place for your boat. So many things but not close to many stores, very peaceful and relaxing!!!!

Our new home away from home
My older teenage daughter's and I had the most incredible time here and are planning on returning every summer! The house is just perfect! Super clean and completely equipped with everything you could possibly need. The girls had a blast with the golf cart we rented which made getting around the campground entertainment in itself. My favorite part besides the incredible house, was that there's really no need to even leave the campground. From the pool to the piers, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the General Store and the golf cart...there was never a dull moment. We grabbed what we needed from Walmart and Food Lion (both about 20 mins away) and really only left to go to the beach. If you're looking to relax and have a great time, this is the perfect place! We can't wait to come back next year!

Great house, mixed neighborhood.
The house was great. A cozy and very clean home. The host very helpful. The neighborhood was a mix of nice trailers and Rvs as well as houses but also some traitors that were more run down. The house was very nice for the neighborhood.

Horntown
This house was so cozy and very clean! It looks as if the inside is renovated and new. The property is close to a pier and we fished at nighttime. If you go and your looking forward to the rocket launch at wallops go to the pier for a good view! 10 mins from foodlion and about 25 mins to downtown chincoteague and beach. The town is small but we did go kart at night and had ice cream at Island Creamery (definitely must!). We also went out to ear at the ropewalk which if you have kids this is the perfect place, it has a playground on sand and you can sit outside and watch the kids while all the adults mingle. Back to the house, it was perfect for a family vacation, the sheets were soft and clean. The bathroom shower is a decent size. The owners reached out to check in on hoe things were going, I really appreciate that. Our family would recommend it to anyone!

Fabulous, family getaway!
We were so pleased with every aspect of this trip. The house was clean and came complete with everything you would need. There is a nice size kitchen and the bedrooms were great. Our family enjoyed the back deck, barbecue & fire pit. We rented a golf cart which was fun for the kids & allowed us to enjoy other aspects of the community including the pool. Jean was so helpful & quick to respond to any and all of my questions. We had a great time & would love to return again!

Lovely well stocked home
This home is very clean and nice and I appreciated all of the supplies available. We enjoyed the firepit and the jacuzzi tub. My only issue was that I was told the beach was 15 minutes away but it took 35+ minutes to get to the closest beach. Also the neighborhood was quite noisy with people partying and drinking and playing loud music into late hours of the night. There were many confederate flags in the trailer park so if that makes you uncomfortable, I wouldn’t stay here. However, we didn’t have any negative experiences or interactions. Overall, we had a very nice vacation and chincoteague island is a lovely place to visit.

Perfect Get-a-way
Communication with the owners was beyond excellent. They had everything at the house you could possibly think of. You really need to just bring your clothes. They provide all instruction and even have a cork-board with even more information about the island, places to eat, numbers to rent golf carts. This was the perfect stay for my family and plenty of room. Though it rained on us for most of our visit, the fire pit was ready as soon as we got there, they had plenty of games and movies on DVD and VHS to watch to keep us entertained even when we had to stay indoors. Location to the island was very nice and a short drive. Location of property is centralized to just about anything you could want including restaurants, grocery store, gas station, etc. I will definitely rent here again when I get to come back to the island.
