Nice quiet location. Directions to the house were good. Check in was easy. House was comfortable for 8 people.The host and VRBO support team were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, there was a fish and chicken legs in the freezer that were old and should have been removed before we arrived.

Relaxing

My wife and our two boys and I spent a week at the Creek House. It was a lovely place to relax, fish, kayak, and dig into a good book. Town is a quick drive away and has everything you’d need. We would book with Meg again.

It was a very cute home with a lot of character and a beautiful view of the water. The downstairs bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but the one upstairs was fine so we just used that. It had an old house smell, but I suppose there isn't much that can be done about that. None of that really impacted our stay, though. It was very relaxing, a fair price and a great location halfway between Cape Charles and Chincoteague. I would stay there again.

Cute cottage with a beautiful view.

It was like a weekend at grandmas house. This charming cottage has a nostalgic feel that made our stay cozy. The beds are very comfortable which is always important to us. The view overlooking the water is beautiful. It was perfect for what we needed for a weekend stay. Short drive to town where we enjoyed meals at Corner Bakery, Maurice’s and Mallards.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication
Overall the stay was okay. There were some small cleanliness issues (window between dining room and sunroom). There is black mold coming through ceiling in half bath upstairs (and this may be why we were all congested when waking up). Clear maintenance issues have not been addressed…. Walkway to side entrance is dangerous, lawn and yard work not attended to, front burner on stove not working, refrigerator drawer missing. Water at home was not palatable and smelled and tasted of iron/metal. Twin beds on second floor creak/squeek excessively when turning during sleep. Lots of left over spices, old honey, sticky bottles of oil, and chicken livers in freezer…. that was a little gross. Driveway and walkway was growing in and bushes need trimmed back (scratched side of my car). Gutters clogged with pine needles and leaves causing spillage of water during rainstorms at entrances. Pictures of the home do not match actual state today. Linens were clean and AC systems worked well. Overall we had an okay trip but the home needs maintenance and compared to other rentals we have had in the area, this was not in as good of shape.
