About this property

The Brass Crab - Check in/out any day!

This charming rancher is ready to welcome you and your family. Come make memories in the cozy and relaxing space. Enjoy this redone home on large lot perfect for family games of kickball and tag after a fun day at the beach. This home sleeps 8-9 folks comfortably. It has a stocked kitchen, a dining area and living room with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. There is an outdoor shower and foot rinse (April-November). Just added for Fall 2024: Disc Golf unit for the backyard and 8 new outdoor chairs.
The driveway can hold roughly 8 vehicles, please do not park (or drive) on the grass. This home is walking distance to the Veterans Park (.8 mile) and is away from the town's bustle. We are a 7 minute drive to the beach and roughly a 20 minute bike to the beach. The Brass Crab is set up with families in mind with child friendly spaces, bunk beds and open places to play, but can easily work for 3 couples as well.
Queen rooms are on the East side of the house, the other two bedrooms are on the west. The main living space is in the middle of the 4 bedrooms. All rooms have white noise makers and blackout curtains.
All rooms have space for a pack-n-play. A pack-n-play, portable highchair, and a diaper changing pad are available in the bunk closet. This closet also contains outdoor games and the rainy day box. We will leave these in place but recommend you clean them prior to your use.
There is 1 TV in the living room and wireless internet. We provide Prime video and Netflix.
This is a 3/4 acre lot with a large front yard and a fenced backyard. A walkway, patio, and fire pit area have been added to the outdoor space for additional fun and relaxation! You'll need to bring your own wood, and you'll want bug spray.
Please send a message with additional questions and we would be happy to help.

Exactly what we were looking for

I stayed at the Brass Crab with 7 friends and we had an excellent stay. The property was in great shape and we got great use out of the huge backyard. There was plenty of space and the location was convenient to everything on the island.

Wonderful Beach House for (multigenerational) Family Vacation

We really enjoyed our time on the Island at the Brass Crab and are looking forward to booking the house again in the future! The owner is wonderful and kind and answered any questions that I had. Everything was very nice, clean and comfortable. The parking was great and the fenced in back yard was wonderful as well. So many nice little details were included in the house that made the trip even better. Thanks again so much for everything!

This was by far the best property we have stayed in with VRBO. The place was super clean, stocked, and the owners couldn’t be kinder or more responsive. The location is also close to everything. We will be back , thank you for a wonderful stay!

Pony Swim Week

The house was lovely. Everything as advertised. It was close to Pony Swim lane, so we were able to walk over to watch the ponies swim and march from there to the fairgrounds. The back yard was great, too. Lots of space for kids to run around as well as a great picnic set up.

Home away from home!

This is our fourth year at the Brass Crab and we'd never stay anywhere else. It really is like being home but on vacation. The house is adorable, clean, and well-appointed with everything from fans to extra pillows to rainy-day games. We made s'mores by the fire pit and visited the beautiful beach every day. A wonderful experience as always.

As perfect as it gets

It was our family vacation and we loved the house. It is charming, inviting, so easy to live in. Kitchen has anything you would ever need, and who can beat comfortable mattresses and blackout curtains at night. We loved the quiet neighborhood, the outdoor shower and the yard for the kids, and all the little touch throughout the house that made us feel like home. Thank you to our host for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Walters

Host profile image
We are a family with 2 young children who enjoy the beach. We've set up our home to make vacationing at the beach as a family easier!

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet low-key local feel of Chincoteague. We wanted a one level home with plenty of bedrooms. Also we are huge Island Creamery fans, we are working our way through the whole flavor list!

What makes this property unique

Its a rancher with a HUGE yard. We can't wait to hear about various family memories in our Log Book. We hope you read it when you enter, we love seeing your memories there and read it each time we visit.
