Beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay at the Purple Door. The views were spectacular and we enjoyed sitting on the deck. My husband taught my daughter to fish and she loved the dock area. We did use the amenities at Captain’s Cove and drove out to Assateague Island to see the horses. The location is tucked away from major attractions but we got used to the drive after the first day. The neighbors were friendly. Enjoyed our stay !

Perfect place to relax

My family and i spent a relaxing week enjoying everything about the house , plenty of fishing and crabbing from the dock , the almost constant breeze made the deck a perfect place. The house seems a little off the beaten path for the first day or so but once you make a couple trips to town its nothing. I wish i had paid a few days for the amenities but thats hindsight. If you're looking for a quiet getaway this is the perfect place

All about the view and wonderful neighbors

Had an Awsome 8 days , views were amazing from just about everywhere in the house. Fishing was good from dock, crabbing was slow, a little late in the season. Beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The restaurant just down the street had very good food, especially the fish tacos. No issues at all during our stay. Beautiful club house, indoor pool and golf course.

Best of Times

My husband and I had the best of times. We came with my daughter and her family. Staying where we were there was a friendly atmosphere. The home was clean, and my pets were allowed. We had some trouble with the tv service but Kelly along with the owner called me on the phone. Kelly then came by and fixed it for us. Right away at that. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

Purple Door Stay

Property has a great view of the water across to Chicateague. I could have sat on the deck looking at that view all day but the heat wouldn’t let me. Way too hot outside. Kelly was tremendous answering any concern. Only negative is if you want to go to Chicateague it is a 30 minute drive.

N/A

Upstairs bed was uncomfortable and either the mattress or pillows had an awful smell..linens were rewashed..wasn't that. Lost power during one night..smoke/fire alarms went off because of the power outage..thank God my son in law knew how to turn off till power was restored because it was deafening. Needed more dining area..only 2 chairs for 5 people wasn't ideal. The air-conditioning ductwork needed repair late one evening..that was fixed in a very timely manner.

Two good things about this listing

Problem 1. No previous instructions on how to access keys. 2. Listing for bedding was changed after we booked and had my daughter not cancelled we would not have had room for her. We should have been notified. 3. Problem with upstairs toilet ( did not expect to spend time with a plunger). The best thing about this place was the fantastic view and the prompt response from the property manager. Many improvements are needed - covered deck room is a disaster and the stained carpeting in unit is very ugly.

Great place to relax

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We needed a quiet peaceful place. The view of Chincoteague Bay from a spacious deck and it's sunsets are gorgeous. The indoor stairs are circular so guests with mobility issues will have difficulty entering at the ground level and going to main level. Those circular stairs also lead to a lovely loft living/bath/bedroom area. The other entry is a set of outdoor steps to the deck. From the house, Chincoteague Island is about a 20 minute ride through beautiful countryside that takes you by Wallops Island NASA/Goddard flight center. Their visitors center has interesting information about the area's contribution to sub-orbital and weather research. Asateague is only a bit further where the wild ponies can be viewed. Asateague beach offers fun in the sun on the Atlantic coast. Thanks, Kelly for a lovely vacation.
