About this property

Historic Home Nestled in the Quaint Waterfront Town of Onancock

The Parsonage was built in 1836 and restored between 2001 and 2010. The homes sleeps 8 people comfortably with 3 bedrooms as well as a loft area with a child's elevated sleeping nook and a pullout couch in the downstairs sunroom. Bedroom #1 is the master with queen bed and en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Bedroom#2 on the second floor has a queen bed with private sink in the adjacent laundry room that opens into a full bathroom shared with the loft. Bedroom#3 is on the first floor and has a full-sized bed. An additional full bath is also located on the first floor.

The main level of the house includes a living room with television, stereo, couch, puzzles and books. The kitchen opens to the dining room/sun room and comes equipped with all you need to prepare meals. The back deck has a gas grill and the wide front porch has several rockers.

The Town Wharf is only steps away where you can launch a boat at the public ramp or rent kayaks, paddle-boards and bikes. The passenger ferry to Tangier Island also departs from there. If you have a boat there is a public parking lot directly across from the house as well as car+trailer parking at the Wharf. Onancock Creek is about 4 miles long and opens up into the Chesapeake Bay which boasts pristine and secluded beaches and great fishing.

If the ocean is your thing, Assateague National Park is the closest beach with surf and lots of parking. Adjacent to the beach is the town of Chincoteague with a water park a brewery and restaurants so together there is more than enough to do for a day trip there.

Additional fun trips include a winery, The Barrier Islands Center, the town of Cape Charles, Savage Neck Dunes and the town of Wachapreague which is home to a popular restaurant with outstanding water views. Also out of Wachapreague you can charter a boat to take you fishing, birding, shell collecting or just exploring on the undeveloped barrier islands.

Another relaxing and wonderful stay
We are repeat visitors to this property for the last couple of years. It is in a great location on Virginia's Eastern Shore, in with convenient access to groceries, banks, restaurants, and even the local hospital. It is also perfect if you will be visiting both points north like Chincoteague and south like Cape Charles. We love it, even just walking around downtown Onancock and the surrounding neighborhoods is just lovely. The house is beautiful and comfortable and has everything you could want for a great shore getaway. We loved sitting in the gorgeous sunroom and the porch is great too. There is a new coffee shop around the corner from the house that we visited so much, we filled our free drink punch card! The owners and staff there are so sweet as well. So much to love about this area and we always look forward to coming back. Thank you to the Smiths!

Great house in peaceful village.
We loved the house which had everything we needed, excellent AC, comfortable spaces for our family of 4, and super clean! The town has quiet tree-lined streets, an idyllic marina, and is surrounded by scenic inlets of the Chesapeake Bay where we saw many Great Blue Heron and Egrits. Good restaurants, art galleries, and antique shops are close by. It was our first trip to ESVA. The only issue we had with the location was that public access to beaches involved 30-40 minute drives down to Cape Charles or up to Assateague. But that also gave us a reason to explore a bit more than we would have otherwise. We'd love to return to this house and the town as it is perfect for any city folks in search of a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Lovely Home and Living History
Great Home and location for walking everywhere in town. Loved all the historic detail in the home. With three living room areas, everyone can be together or separate if they want.
