About this property

Featured DC magazine 10 BEST/Waterview CLOSEST community to BEACH 3 decks.

This Property is located in a very private location, nestled between Assateague Chanel and Oyster Bay. In the private community of Piney Island with beautiful waterview and horses for neighbors. It is a 5 minute ride to both the beach and downtown Chincoteague. Please let us know if you have any questions about our home away from home. Enjoy the serenity of Assateague Island lots of wildlife to see, watch horses while relaxing on the screened back porch. The property is located in private community. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs. The first floor has a large living room and dining room, kitchen, half bathroom and a screened in porch.

There are 2 Fishing marinas on the south end of the Island on Main St.
2 miniature golf courses on Maddox Blvd.

Wallops Island on the road into Chincoteague and is home to the Eastern Shore branch of NASA, they have a Museum for kids and if you’re lucky there could be a launch scheduled during your stay. Launches can be felt and viewed off the back porch.

For boardwalk and amusements Ocean City MD is 1 hour drive north.
Chincoteague Island has a Movie theater on Main Street.

There is a Super Market in town on Cleveland Street.
Wine and cheese shop on Main.
There is a liquor store on Pension St.

Bloxom Wine Vineyard is a short drive south of Chincoteague on 13, if you go make sure to talk to the owners (very interesting couple).

Historical towns up and down RT 13.
Lighthouse tours on beach access rd.

No building is permitted on Assateague the adjoining barrier Island; therefore you must drive your car to the beach. I find this feature very convenient since you can unload your gear with a short walk to the beach.

Lifeguards on duty during the summer months.

Along the beach access road you will find many nature trails where you can view many species of birds, deer and of course the wild horses.
The beach is a short bike ride from the house.

The house has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. We ate out most meals but the kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable and the 2.5 bathrooms were nice.

wonderful house in Chincoteague

The house is wonderful, secluded, and well equipped/furnished. It's very close to the park and restaurants, and yet the neighborhood is very quiet and private, with great views of the marsh (we saw so many birds and deer from the house). And you can even see the sunrise from the master bedroom. Cheryl is great, gets back to you quickly. Hope we come back one day.

Beautiful Quiet House

We loved the house! It’s super clean and well supplied. We really appreciated having everything ready for us. The beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. This is a great spot to be - near Assateague and Maddox activities I would definitely rent again. The host is very gracious.

Amazing getaway in Chincoteague

What an amazing, magical little town Chincoteague is! Couldn’t have been more thrilled renting this house. The pictures don’t do it justice, it truly is lovely. The kids had a blast watching the horses in the next yard (not noisy at all), and the house, while secluded, was extremely close to everything. My wife and I loved sitting on the screened in back porch, very tranquil. I would definitely stay here again!!

Wonder get away

The house was very clean. We could not get enough of the views from the back deck to the front porch. Cheryl had bathroom and kitchen supplies available in case you forgot something. She was quick to respond to questions we had and very kind. It was a wonderful hideaway on a quiet street. We saw deer and foxes every day. We hope to come back again.

Best House in Chincoteague (closest to Assateague)

This house is wonderful. Very Clean. Modern decor and kitchen. Screened in back porch was wonderful for breakfast. Cheryl was an outstanding host, responding quickly to all of our requests for information. Just 5 minutes from Assateague Island entry gate. Only 10 minutes to one of the best beaches in America. Outdoor shower was great for washing off feet after spending a day on the beach. Great place for couples for a romantic getaway, or for family and friends to enjoy the Virginia shore and relaxing, small beach town life.

Absolutely Lovely and peaceful

This was a much-needed trip for my sister whose husband has been fighting cancer, my cousin who lost her husband unexpectedly earlier this year and myself. We are all quite close, but we have had to put off seeing each other due to their circumstances and of course, the pandemic. The house was absolutely perfect. Very comfortable, beautiful surroundings and just enough to do. We loved the house so much that we ended up spending one entire day just relaxing at the house, catching up, and taking walks around the area. The beds are very comfortable, the fireplace was a delight, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils we needed. The host was extremely responsive to our questions too. Can't say enough good things about this stay.

Charming time on Chincoteague

We had a wonderful three night stay in this beautiful home which is located at the end of a lovely quiet road.??The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing our meals and we enjoyed grilling out as well. We loved reading on the shady screened in porch each morning listening to birdsong and watching horses nearby. We enjoyed relaxing together on the big comfortable couch watching movies in the evenings. During the day we hit some great nearby coffee shops and had a blast at the beach on Asseteague Ilsland
