There is also a super convenient Half Bath on the main level of this cozy cottage.

Open the double French Doors and stroll out to your own private waterfront paradise!

Family Tides is absolutely amazing. From the breathtaking view of the waterfront to the cleanliness of the property, everything was spectacular. We spent so much time fishing off the dock and taking in the scenery from the deck. We will be back!

Very nice! As advertised. Only negative was the floors weren’t the cleanest, which is understandable due to sandy area. Overall great place! We had a brief power outage one night that locked out the AC. I text them and it was fixed while we was out vacationing right away

Charming home and island

Lovely stay in this charming home on the creek on the island of Chincoteague. Home is comfortably updated, furnished and stocked with everything needed - including beach accessories. The creek this home sits on is quick moving, so families be ready with life preservers for kiddos who may tend to get close to the edge of the dock. Fun to watch the fishing boats float by and see some wildlife across the water!

Great location

We visited Chincoteague for a long weekend over veteran’s day. The house was very comfortable. We’ll appointed kitchen and access to streaming services on the TVs. A short drive to Asateague island for beach, hiking trails, and ponies. About a 10 minute walk to restaurants on the other side of Main Street. Always get oysters!!! One restaurant, Chicotiki was still open for out door dining. Great to watch the sunset. The best feature was the dock out back. Great place for coffee in the morning and bird watching. Super quiet.

Lovely house, great location

Honestly, this rental ended up being perfect. Communication beforehand was excellent and everything was set up for our check-in. The house has quite an impressive library of books, a buttoning games, and a well stocked kitchen. The layout works pretty well for a larger family or a couple smaller families to share. The backyard and dock were perfect for relaxing evenings with the sunset and it’s close enough to downtown that you can walk in. I have zero complaints about this experience. I would highly recommend this rental to any family or friends and if I return will 100% stay here again.

Great location, cool historical house

Fresh updates to a cozy historical house made this very comfortable, but also plugged in with the overall vibe in Chincoteague. We enjoyed sitting out on the wraparound porch, sitting down by the water, and even just catching the sunset from the master bedroom. A couple games and toys were more than enough for our kids to enjoy. While it may be true anywhere on the island, we really loved being a short drive or walk from everything we wanted to do.

Great weekend

We had a great weekend at Family Tides. The house is within walking distance to the Island Creamery and the Downtown area. The kitchen has all the equipment/utensils needed to cook great meals, the large book collection was enjoyed as much as the toys and games available. Our kids appreciated especially the outside area and the dock at the back of the house.

Enjoyable

This home lived up to it's name Family tides, everything was comfortable as if you were home. We enjoyed being able to go out the back door to fish (kids really loved this). I wish there was outside lighting in the back to enjoy sitting after dark. We would definitely return in the future

Weekend getaway

This rental is directly on the water - so if you like to kayak or boat - it’s ideal. The house was very clean. The only issue I had is that I couldn’t quite figure out the heating / cooling using the remotes - which seemed locked to a certain temperature

A Perfect Getaway!

We absolutely loved this property! The layout of the house is unique and the home has tons of charm but is still updated. We traveled with our 4 yr old and 2 yr old so we really appreciated all the toys and books that were available. My daughter unfortunately got sick one night so the washer/dryer being available was a life saver! The location of the property was perfect! We spent a lot of time outside watching wildlife and fishing. The house has everything you need and is close to shopping/restaurants. I’m especially thankful for the rental company getting the property ready earlier for us then expected. We drove down early and went right to the beach where my daughter cut her eyelid, so we were thankful to be able to take her to the property and get her cleaned up! Communication and service were top notch! Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our vacation stay in Chincoteague. We will be back next year!

Great family getaway

We had been to Chincoteague a few years ago and have been wanting to go back ever since. Our family has grown and we were looking for a place to take our 2 and 5 year olds. This was perfect. The house was clean, everyone had their own rooms, and the toys topped it off. My 5 year old loved taking the tandem kayak out in the bay and fishing from the dock. It was close enough to walk to ice cream and restaurants. Definitely will be a top choice of houses to rent when we go on our next vacation.
