The Porpoise of Life - Spectacular Brand New Waterfront!
Have you ever asked yourself what the purpose of life is? Here at Seaside, we believe it’s all about spending time with those that matter most, and making memories you’ll cherish forever. And if you can make the time, we’ve got the most amazing home to tell you about…..
Welcome to The Porpoise of Life in the very heart of Chincoteague Island. This beautiful Brand New home sits on the Waterfront on South Main - THE place to be for spectacular Sunsets, and overlooks the pristine Chincoteague Bay in the front, and Fowling Gut in the back! Stunning on both the inside and the outside, get ready to be wow’ed!
As you pull into the driveway, you can’t help but notice The Porpoise of Life’s classic Coastal Cape good looks. With multiple Decks facing the Water, just imagine sipping your morning coffee while watching Herons, Eagles, and Egrets fish for their morning meal - so peaceful. In the backyard you’ll find a Private Pier and Floating Dock over the Gut - the kids will have a blast Crabbing, and the Floating Dock makes launching your Kayak super easy. And out front, you'll find a Brand New Private Pier right on the Chincoteague Bay!
Wandering upstairs, Colors of Sand and Sea will warmly welcome you into this stunning Custom Home. You’ll love relaxing in the Living Area with Flat Screen Streaming TV and rich furnishings. You’ll sink into the Navy Leather Sectional and never want to leave - you can gaze at the Water from the sofa. There’s even a cozy Fireplace for those chilly off-season stays - one of our favorite times on our Little Island by the Sea. The Porpoise of Life’s Open Layout is perfect for how we live today - light and bright - perfect for spending time together without ever feeling crowded.
The Chef in your family will adore the Kitchen with Stainless Appliances and gleaming Quartz Countertops. It’s well-stocked and ready for family mealtime. Grab a quick bite at the Breakfast Nook before hitting the Beach, or dine in the luxurious Dining Area and take in lovely Views. Just off the Living Area, you’ll also find a Sunroom just begging for Happy Hour with a fun Surfboard Bar, tons of Games to enjoy, and absolutely breathtaking Water Views.
The Porpoise of Life sleeps 6 more than comfortably with 3 Bedrooms and 3 Full Baths. On the 1st Floor, Bedroom 1 has a comfy Queen Bed decked out in Nautical Navy and Crisp Red, and has a Flat Screen Streaming TV. There’s a Full Bath with Tub/Shower Combo convenient to this Bedroom and the Living Area.
On the 2nd Floor, you’ll find 2 luxurious Bedrooms - a Master and a Junior Master - both with King Beds, Flat Screen Streaming TV, and Private Master Baths with Double Vanities and Walk-in Showers. Bedroom 2 also has access to a Private Water View Balcony with lounging furniture and awesome Views. The Junior Master has a rustic Coastal Appeal with rich grays and browns, reminiscent of a stroll on the Boardwalk.
The Porpoise of Life is all about your Outdoor Living, as well. The kids will love exploring Fowling Gut teeming with life - oysters, fish, crabs, and more. Kick back and just “be”.
The Porpoise of Life - Sky above, Sand below, Peace within….

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, Steve! All of the listed pictures were taken from this property, but we're always looking for areas to improve and will see if any need to be updated!
The house was so clean and comfortable! The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The views from the balconies were outstanding. We will definitely rent this house again!

We're so glad your family enjoyed its visit to Chincoteague, Anastasia! You were a joy to host. We hope to see you again soon!
Accommodations were lovely. This home is very well-appointed with several items in the kitchen. We loves the porch and rocking chairs and watching the geese and ducks in the marshy pond. Wonderful views. Great location.

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, and for taking the time to leave a review. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay (and those views!), and hope to have you back soon!
The place was beautiful and new. Very clean and well stocked with anything you could need. The large deck of the front was a great place to relax and enjoy bay views. When battling some inclement weather, the bright sun room was a great place to enjoy drinks with a view still. Couldn’t have stayed in better place. Highly recommend staying here on a quieter more secluded part of the island.

Robert, Thank you for the 5 star review! We are so happy you enjoyed the home and location. We agree with you, that deck is perfect for views and the sunroom is the best place if you can't be outside! Please visit us again. Best, Lynn with Seaside Vacations
My family consisting of my husband, myself, and our adult children and their loved ones stayed here for a week. The property was very comfortable and suited us very well. Perfect location for us to reunite and bond as a family together. Only gripe I have is that the railings could have been washed before our stay. Everyone who touched them got dirt on their hands or clothing.

Hey there, Ben! So great to hear that you had a nice family vacation! We are so glad to hear that you had a great time. We appreciate your feedback as well - and will make sure to take that into account for future stays. Come back and visit again soon!
This is one of those houses where the pictures don't tell the story about how nice it really is. Sometimes you just have to see it for yourself. The house is beautiful. Everything is appointed very nicely and really gives you the 'beach house' feeling (upscale beach house). I will definitely stay there again.
