Tranquil Tides Retreat by Seaside Vacations & Sales
High Tides and Good Vibes…..
Welcome to Tranquil Tides Retreat - a newly renovated and beyond adorable Waterfront Townhome located on Marsh Island, directly across the Channel from Chincoteague Island. Perfect for a small family or a couples getaway, you can take that beach break you’ve been longing for - without breaking the bank! And, Tranquil Tides now welcomes your well-trained dog - 2 max - at no additional cost (must be pre-approved)!
As you take the exit for Marsh Island from the Causeway, you'll feel like you're pulling onto your own private island. With only a handful of homes here, you'll love the peace and quiet that Marsh Island offers. All the festivities of Chincoteague Island are mere steps away, but you return to the sweet serenity that only Marsh Island offers. This tiny Island was formerly a Harbor for Commercial Fishermen that was converted to Waterfront Homes. At Tranquil Tides Retreat, take in Bay Views that are simply stunning - Water Views of the Chincoteague Channel, Historic Main Street, the Bay, Marsh, and of course THE most incredible Sunsets to be found.
As you pull down the Lane for Tranquil Tides Retreat, you can’t help but think about the memories that will be made fishing and crabbing in your own backyard, and watching the Boats - and even Dolphin - travel down the Channel. This adorable 2 Bedroom Home sits right at the water’s edge and sleeps up to 4 comfortably. With a Community Dock for Fishing, Crabbing, and Kayaking, and even a Picnic Area for dining Al-Fresco, this is a Vacation you won’t want to miss! Tranquil Tides Retreat even comes with a Boat Slip for Boats up to 20 ft (Shallow Draft Boats Only) at no additional cost! It’s time to kick off your Flip Flops and let the fun begin!
You’ll love relaxing in the Living Area after a fun-filled day at the Beach, and enjoying Free WiFi and Flat Screen Smart TV. With an oversized, comfy Sectional, beachy flooring reminiscent of a stroll on the Boardwalk, and serene Coastal Colors, it totally has that island vibe you’re longing for. Slip out to the Waterfront Balcony with your morning coffee, and watch Herons, Eagles, and Egrets fish for their morning meal. And, this is also where you can take in stunning Sunsets each evening. Just off the Living Area, you’ll find a convenient Half Bath.
The Chef in your family will love the well-stocked Kitchen, which is sure to make mealtime anything but a chore. Dine in the comfort of Central AC, or have a Picnic down by the water’s edge in the Community Picnic Area. Not one to cook on Vacation? No worries ~ you’re a hop, skip, and jump away from great dining options on the Island, and then get to return to the peace and serenity that is Marsh Island!
Wandering upstairs, you’ll find 2 Bedrooms and a shared Full Bath. Bedroom 1 has a comfy Queen Bed, direct access to the Full Bath, and a Private Waterfront Balcony! Just imagine slipping out to stargaze while everyone else slumbers - there’s nothing like it. The Full Bath is bright and modern with 2 Vanities and a Tub/Shower Combo. Bedroom 2 also has a Queen Bed and stunning Bay Views. There is also a convenient Washer and Dryer located on this level.
Time at Tranquil Tides Retreat is sure to be treasured by your whole family. Time spent together fishing, crabbing, kayaking, or simply stargazing will be unforgettable, and that’s without even leaving little Marsh Island. With all there is to do on Chincoteague itself, plus having one of the most popular and most visited beaches in our country right down the road, this truly IS the Dream Vacation you’ve been waiting for!

Overall, a great location and a fine stay. We were glad there was parking available and that the couch provided plentiful seating. The location is also great. We were able to hear music and festivities happening at the town square from the balcony, which was a pleasant surprise.A few drawbacks/comments on things to know:- The only exit is out the garage door, and there's only one garage door opener. We were so concerned about the fire escape hazard this presented that we kept the garage door open the entire time to ensure anyone could get out of the building if needed, even if the others had left with the garage door opener to do some other activity in town.- There are two sets of stairs and they are VERY narrow compared to stairs in every home I've ever lived in or visited. If you have any guests that might struggle with balance or footing, I'd recommend staying elsewhere.- There was no trash bin on site. We contacted the company, but ended up having to leave the trash bags in the garage because we never got info about where to put trash.- There's no cutting board and no reasonable knives - so if you rent this condo with the intent of cooking some meals, pack those things along with at least one extra kitchen towel.There are a lot of loud noises in the house - I think it might be a heat pump? It sounds like an industrial fan next to your bed. If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend staying elsewhere or you'll likely wake up every time it kicks on at night.

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, Kayla! We truly appreciate the feedback, and will be sure to pass this along to our team and the owners. We were able to locate the trash bin in our latest inspection. It was located outside the garage, but may have appeared as if it were the neighboring home's. We're sorry for any confusion! Hope you enjoyed your time on the island, and we'd love to have you back anytime!

My husband, mom, and two children stayed for a few days. The communication between property management was easy, as they responded quickly. We did have to wait for maintenance to arrive, as we were given the incorrect door code. Upon maintenance’s arrival, they expressed that it had happened a few days prior and didn’t seem very happy about it. The place was fairly clean, but the floors could’ve been cleaner. It was a nice place overall, I would recommend having more items for guests such as salt and pepper. Other places we’ve stayed had a lot more stocked for usage of guests. It was conveniently located, served our family well and wasn’t bad. Thanks for having us. :)
