About this property

Donovan's Reef - Pet friendly, In Town!

Charming Chincoteague coastal cottage doesn't even begin to describe this place, but it's a start. Cheery, bright, and colorful - with some form of island history gracing every nook and cranny. Find the perfect mix of old and new in this unique home. Close enough to the main drag on Maddox Boulevard and Main Street - but out of the hurly-burly here on Ocean Boulevard. Wake up a few minutes before everyone else and head across the street to get fresh donuts from Mister Whippy or chocolate croissants from Amarin to surprise everyone with. You'll be the hero for the day, until someone else brings home oysters that night. Oh, and bring your furry friends along, because this one's PET FRIENDLY! This property features lots of nooks for sleeping spaces - a loft upstairs, featuring skylights that let the bright island sunshine flood in. Up here you'll find a cozy king size bed in one room, and two twins in another, with a full bath that features a gorgeous tiled stand up shower. Downstairs you'll find two more bedrooms - one with two twins, and the other with a king. Three different comfortable living areas, one of which is an outdoor sunroom - and that room has doors that connects to the downstairs king - in addition to the main living area. Small backyard area for letting the puppies play or eating lunch outside at the picnic table. The retro mid-century kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare that island seafood dinner with what you catch down at the town dock, and a lovely dining area to enjoy it as a family. Donovan's Reef is located in the heart of downtown Chincoteague, allowing you an easy walk to all the shopping the island has to offer. Stop by Chincotiki on your way home and grab an orange crush or two!

Donovan's Reef A Family Retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the house because it is quite spacious and in a great location. The only thing missing is a fenced yard for children or pets.The owner should invest in a new picnic table with an umbrella because the yard is very sunny.

The house is nicely laid out and very comfortable for the group of 6-8. Basic kitchen and house amenities and a great location, close to the Maddox Street and Main Street. The slightly lower score is for service as we reported some broken items that were not fixed during our stay. They were not major issues so not a big deal. Overall it was a great experience and a nice place to stay.

The bathrooms have been newly renovated, which was a nice surprise. We always have a great time here. Can't wait for next year.

July 2021 Stay
This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed at Donovan’s Reef. It works well for 3 adults and 2 children. It was nice to see the changes that happened since we were there 2 years ago. The new couch is much more comfortable and the updated bathrooms are lovely. The location is very convenient to everything. We love renting from Chincoteague Resort Reality. Our stay was relaxing and just what my son-in-law who just came back from a 9-month deployment in Kuwait and my daughter needed. There was a problem with getting the towels we’d paid for and the employee went out and bought towels and delivered them within hours. Coming back after the pandemic has made it difficult for companies to get help so this was particularly noteworthy.
