One of the nicest Arabian bees I've stayed at over many years

Small on the outside but feels very spacious on the inside as large open rooms flow well into each other. Very long recently paved driveway and we were able to back our 25 ft boat in with ease thanks to the extremely wide road and have the nose of our expedition almost halfway back the side of the house. This is our new go to place for chincoteague. If you haven't stayed on the island before, areas anywhere close to the water along main Street or the assateague side of the island are extremely thick with mosquitoes. Staying in town solves that problem.

Perfect Location!

We stayed with a toddler and infant twins and it was perfect for us. The living and kitchen space was open and comfortable so we were able to keep an eye on the kids and feel like we were at home. The outdoor shower was a huge plus, no one took an indoor shower all week! It was so easy to walk to all the shops and restaurants. Will definitely be staying here again!

Wonderful Chincoteague House

We loved our stay at “Where the Sidewalk Ends” in Chincoteague. From the moment we entered, we felt so fortunate that Deborah’s place was available for our stay. Everything about it was great from the location to the sparkling cleanliness! The renovated main bathroom has a beautiful shower and it is a bonus to have the half bath in the main bedroom. This little house exudes a feeling of comfort and really makes you feel at home. There were four of us, ages 12 to 78, and we all loved it! My grandson was thrilled that he could hook up his PS5 and the rest of us were thrilled that we could relax quietly. We went to the beach at least once every day (about a 10 minute drive even with traffic) and appreciated the outdoor shower (with hot water) to quickly rinse off the sand upon returning “home.” Another plus for us was that it is just a couple of blocks to Amarin for the best chocolate croissants in the world. Everything that Chincoteague has to offer is readily available within a short distance. It was excessively hot while we were there, and we appreciated the air conditioned comfort especially in the evenings. I could go on about all the good things about this house, but will sum up by just saying that we had a wonderful time and found the house wonderful! Thank you, Deborah!

Great time with grandkids

We brought our older grandkids {ages 7 and 10) for 3 days and this was a perfect place to stay. We had everything we needed and more. The house was clean and welcoming. The many games and puzzles were fun for the evenings and rest times during the day

You can walk to so many places on Maddox by cutting through parking lot across from this home

We would stay here again. Only negative was no pool. Always nice to have pool while on vacation. Back door needs to be looked at - you have to push hard to get it open all the way. And maybe take your own pillows.

Adorable home within walking distance of everything

Where the Sidewalk Ends is a beautiful home just off of the Main Street (Maddox Blvd) in Chincoteague. The home is larger inside than expected. The kitchen was fully stocked with knives, kitchen gadgets and has counterspace needed to prepare meals. We walked to all of the shops and Ice Cream places daily. A small Dollar General is also in walking distance which came in handy for things we forgot. We were able to enjoy the first night of the Fireman's Carnival on our last night here. Thank you for making our stay memorable.

Great stay!

We had a great time for a chilly weekend at the beach. We used the firepit more than expected due to the weather which was great. Steamers is right across from the property and we had great food there! It was less than a 5 min walk

Great Chincoteague Property

Nice little cottage within short walking distance of Maddox Blvd. Our boys were able to walk to the Creamery and the gift shops and explore Main Street as well. Great backyard with a sizable side yard and a wonderful outdoor shower, firepit, clothesline, etc. Deborah Stevens was helpful as always. Thank you!

Pony Swim 2022

Debbie called me the day before we arrived to make sure I knew where to get the keys and see if I had any questions. Check in was a breeze! The location is the absolute best!!! Easy walking distance to SO many things, and on the end of a quiet street to boot. A lovely yard with a fire pit and an outdoor shower, which came in handy. The house is older and does not have a lot of outlets, so maybe bring a power strip if you have a lot of things to charge. The kitchen is very well stocked!! The beds each had a pillow and a comforter, which we weren't expecting. Oh, and they were comfy too. There were also some spare blankets if you need them (we did not, it was 100° outside!). There are lots of books and games, as well as some movies. We never even turned the TV on...if we weren't out exploring, we were relaxing and reading. The shower was a little weird...one big, fixed rain type showerhead and a smaller mobile one that was basically a low pressure hose. Not really a complaint, I'm just used to a slightly more aggressive showerhead. 😂 It got the job done after days spent covered in sunscreen and bug spray. I would stay here again in a second! In fact we're already thinking of booking it in 2024.

Cozy and Convenient

Being our first stay in Chincoteague and not knowing what to expect, we really landed well at Where the Sidewalk Ends. Don't let the modest exterior fool you- it is a gem. The house is easy to keep clean, with a great outdoor shower and hardwood and tile flooring throughout. The location is convenient, with shopping a block away with everything from beachwear, food, scooter rentals, and ice cream. There are a few good coffee shops about a four block walk (Try Amarin's Vietnamese coffee), as well as a quaint little bookshop. Debbie was super helpful in every way, coaching us through getting to the beach, where to shop, etc. Big tip: Get to the beach super early on the weekends. Because it is a National Park, no one stays at the beach and EVERYONE has to drive or bike across the bridge to the Assateague Island beaches. The limited parking spaces keep the beach from getting too crazy, but the park rangers will keep you in a holding pattern until a spot opens up. We loved our adventures on the island, and Sidewalks End and Debbie were a big part of it.

Small but wonderful house. The outside shower was probably the best asset, saved us from getting sand all in the house.
