guadalupe s.

perfect for us

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: our group of 4 was very satisfied with rhinos retreat as it offered plenty of space for a small house. the layout was comfortable and didn't feel small. While the house had everything we needed, the house could have used some "freshening up". how about a new shower curtain liner? fresh paint? we loved the location. it was close enough to bike to the beach daily and to walk to restaurants and shops. it's nice that there are still (for now) some small affordable houses that you can rent in chincoteague. thank you!

House serves its purpose

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Over-all the house served its purpose. A queen bed downstairs, 2 twin beds downstairs and a whole large loft with extra beds upstairs and 2 bathrooms. Upon arrival we noticed the yard/lawn care was over due for a trim. Further into our stay we realized there was NO DVD player. The the bathroom off the kitchen is extremely small, even the shower and the hot/cold water is reversed. The washer and dryer are extremely small as well. There was mold on the bottom of the shower curtain in the other bathroom. The sink in the kitchen was leaking on the second night and after looking into it, we realized it was loosed by the trap and never retightend. I took the liberty of washing the dirty bathroom rugs that were left for us and sweeping under the couches. I noticed the couches and ottomans needed a good scrubbing upon arrival as well. There was no dustpan, so I used the vaccume which I thought had a weak suction but figured out the tank was just full. The steps are not kid friendly, or even adult friendly. They are very short and steep. There is a a shower/plumming access pannel in the downstairs bedroom right next to a bed that was just taped on and kept falling off. Over all if your a group of adults who need a vacation house then this is the house for you. However I will not be returning with my small/younger children.

Just okay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Size wise it was good but it wasn’t very clean. Underneath the couches and in the corners we found lots of sand and dust. The dishwasher didn’t work properly so washing dishes by hand wasn’t great. The small bathroom shower didn’t get hot. The beds had crinkly mattress protectors on them and were very uncomfortable. The screened porch was ripped so mosquitoes got in. No hose to rinse things before leaving. Soft spots in the yard . Washer was super tiny. Toaster had to be pushed down three times before it would work. On a busy corner as well.

A bit disappointing.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has a nice living room. But the floors are soft in multiple areas and the beds are very uncomfortable to say the least. We had to plunge the toilets several times a day. We let them know when we checked out but all that was said was that no one else has complained.". I will take partial responsibility as there were no pics of the bathrooms and I trusted that it would be ok. One bathroom is so small, you could hardly sit down on toilet and the other had a questionable shower system.

Retreat with the Rhinos

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a last-minute get-away and were happy to find that Rhinos Retreat was available for rent. We loved being within walking distance of Amarin for coffee and croissants the Island Creamery for their fabulous ice cream! We loved having our meals on the back porch, but we found the house to be musty and in need of some cleaning.

Close to town for good walks

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: I took my family to this house for a weekend trip right before the summer rush. It's just close enough to things to walk to but far enough off the main road to enjoy some peace and quiet. I would have no problem using this place again if we come back. The loft was good for the kids to give them a place away from the parents to relax.

Not just a house, it’s a home!

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: This is an AMAZING property! We have 2 kids, ages 6 & 8, and we all just had an amazing time! It’s so comfortable and peaceful to stay in and right in the heart of the island where (almost) everything is within walking distance! We’ve come to the island for many years now but we will be requesting this property again in the future- I highly recommend it!

Good location, but needs upgrades

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Small, simple house in convenient central location. Two bedrooms downstairs, a Master with a queen bed and a room with 2 twins (not a full bed as advertised). Four twins in the attic for kids. At the end of the week I really missed my nice mattress. Bathroom next to Master needs refurbishment and it was too small for me to use comfortably. Other bathroom was larger and is acceptable, it has a stacked washer/dryer. Galley kitchen is ok, it does have a dishwasher. Original porch was enclosed to create the dining room and the larger bathroom. Screened-in back porch added with entrance to kitchen, and this now is the primary entrance to the cottage. It was a convenient place for wet beach stuff. If you aren't picky about your lodgings, and need space for kids, it will do. The price reflects the age of the place and basic interior design, but some investment in the house is needed (particularly the small bathroom).

Good location, a bit rundown

We enjoyed our weekend in Chincoteague. The house is spacious for how small it is. It has two bedrooms and a whole loft upstairs, so plenty of room for our small family. The location is close to Main Street and shops and restaurants. The house could be updated and cleaned a little bit better. It is a little run down and was kind of dirty when we arrived. It is on a busy corner too, so lots of cars going by made it a little worrisome with having my toddler outside, but fine with older children. The neighbors are quiet and friendly. When we arrived I attempted to contact the property owners or managers about getting in the house and parking questions and was unable to, which I found frustrating. The office was closed all weekend, which is seems they often are and they do not respond to emails or calls. Could be a problem if you needed something or had a problem. Maybe I missed something, but I could not contact anyone. Nice house and nothing wrong with it aside from being a bit run down, but maybe it’s the property management that is the issue.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2022

Love Chincoteague and Rhino's 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: After not having vacationed on the island in almost 20 years, we decided to come back! Just the two of us this time, kids are all grown. It was a lovely get-away week of leisurely coffee morrnings and cocktail afternoons on the screened porch and days filled with beach, biking, kayaking, bird watching and dining out. The cottage was just perfect for us! Though we didn't need all the rooms, it was nice to be able to spread out. Very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Great location-short walk to the main streets. Unique and lovely decor.

I felt very comfortable and it was good for my family to get away where we could get some head space and still socially distance.
