About this property

Ariel`s Grotto is a gorgeous 3 Bedroom/2.5 Bath Vacation Rentals on incredible C

Ariel's Grotto - A True Beauty at the Beach

The welcome mat is out at spectacular Ariel's Grotto - only minutes from Assateague National Seashore, home of the Famous Wild Ponies! This 3 Bedroom/2.5 Bath Home is simply stunning. Located on a very quiet street mid-island, this awesome Chincoteague Vacation Home is sure to make all of your Vacation Dreams come true!

As you enter this Coastal Cape, you will feel as if you stepped into Coastal Style Magazine. Cool colors of Sand & Sea welcome you, with hints of fun Nautical Red throughout. The spacious Foyer is a great place to kick off your shoes and leave your worries by the door - you won't be needing them during your time here on our Island!

Ariel's Grotto opens to Soaring Ceilings and tons of glorious Natural Light. This home was designed with Easy Beach Living in mind. The gleaming Bamboo Floors and pale Blue Walls instantly make you feel at ease! You'll love relaxing in the huge Living Area with Cable TV and Free WiFi. An oversized sectional sofa ensures there is room for all, and there is even a Fireplace to take the chill off those Off-Season Evenings. What a great place to curl up with a good book or get lost in a movie with the family, and the Owners have thoughtfully provided books, games, and movies for your enjoyment!

Just around the bend you will find the spacious Dining Area with seating for 6 to 8, which opens to the Gourmet Kitchen. There is also seating at the Breakfast Bar for quick meals before hitting the Beach. Ariel's Grotto has a great set-up for the Chef in your family with tons of countertop space, a Cook Top Island, every gadget imaginable, and beautiful Tile Flooring. The whimsical Coastal Decor and gorgeous Sea Green Walls make it a wonderful place to sip a glass of wine while whipping up some fresh Local Chincoteague Seafood! Is the weather too nice to dine indoors? Just a few steps off the Kitchen, gorgeous French Doors open to a huge Screened-in Porch with Dining Table. Listen to the trees rustle in the salty air and take it all in. A Gas Grill is provided on the Patio just off the Porch for grilling some burgers, or maybe that Flounder you caught Surf Fishing!

Ariel's Grotto has a convenient 1st Floor Master Bedroom with Master Bath, featuring a brand new King Bed and more fabulous colors that just make you happy to be there. This offers privacy for Mom and Dad, or is handy if someone in your group prefers not to use the stairs. There is a Walk-in Shower Combo in the Bathroom and lots of storage. Also on the 1st Floor is a Half Bath that is adjacent to the Kitchen and Living Area!

As you wander upstairs, you'll find 2 more Bedrooms with charming Beachy Decor. Bedroom 2 features 2 Queen Beds, a TV, and lots of space. The Nautical Theme and Blue Walls will make you feel as if you never left the Beach. Bedroom 3 has a Twin Bed with handy Twin Trundle Bed. Ariel's Grotto comfortably sleeps 8 people in total luxury and serenity. There is a 2nd Full Bathroom upstairs also with a Tub/Shower Combo and cheerful Surfer Theme.

Chincoteague Island has been voted "Happiest Seaside Town" and "Best Small Beach Town," just to name a few accolades. You will not find huge, commercialized Boardwalks and high-rise buildings, but you will find peace, nature, tranquility, and ponies at their very finest. Enjoy one of our famous Nature Boat Tours, go fishing and clamming, relax on the Beach with your loved ones, or go exploring on one of Assateague's Hiking Trails - maybe even climb to the top of our famous Lighthouse! Whatever you enjoy most, Ariel's Grotto is the perfect Home Base for your Chincoteague Island Adventures!

So restful!
Our stay over Christmas was exactly what we needed it to be. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. The house was spacious and roomy for our family of 5. The grocery store and a few local restaurants were right near by. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

Lovely Stay
My wife and I were very pleased with the cleanliness of the property. We both have allergies and scent sensitivities, and the home was very clean and not perfumed with heavily scented cleaning products. The property management was very responsive to questions and concerns.

Beautiful home, great location. Some annoyances.
It was overall a nice stay. The house is quite beautiful and generally well stocked with home items. King bed was really nice. Queens were ok. Did not use the twin/trundle. Nice TV/games/appliances. Some things to note: The thermostats tend to reset overnight. Was surprisingly chilly a couple mornings and we woke up cold. There was some trash left on the back deck. For the amount charged as a cleaning fee I don’t expect to have to wash AND put away all the dishes. Go around and empty all waste baskets and remove all trash to the outside receptacle as well as make sure all countertops are clean and wiped down. The cookware is pretty seasoned, the non sticks could be replaced. Definitely need a couple more spatulas. The couple they have are very thick and hard to utilize at times. If you like to sleep late, bring a sleep mask because it is a BRIGHT house. The shades on the windows offer diffusion, but that’s it. If you’re watching tv while it’s light out there will be monster glare on the tv whether the shade is closed or not. Kitchen needs a little maintenance. Some drawers hit trim pieces next to the fridge and stove when they open. Overall I’d rate it a 3.75/5. Would consider returning.

Cute house
Nice beach house we enjoyed it for the most part, but was wishing for a crib for my toddler, wasn’t as clean as I expected it to be from the reviews but I’m sure cleaning sand isn’t easy! Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful home
We had a wonderful vacation. The home was large enough when the 6 who were not staying with us 6 came for dinner and to play, no one was on top of each other - we had 12 total at times! Just a note, although a gas grill is pictured, all that the home has for outdoor grilling is a very small charcoal grill - messed up some of our grilling plans

We hope to stay again next year :)
My family of 5 had a very nice stay. The property is roomy and in great shape overall and well furnished. There is a picture of Ariel in the entry way and my little kids loved staying “at the Little Mermaid’s house.” It’s also in a very convenient location, close to all of the restaurants and activities on the island. We would definitely return in the future!

Comfort
Nice place with beach style decor. The master is perfect. I did wish the stairs were not so steep. The porch steps are a little daunting for people with knee issues, a ramp in the back would be helpful. Quiet neighbor hood and comfortable surroundings. Overall stay was a nice get away with family.

Cozy house, close to everything
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was just as pictured with high ceilings, comfortable beds and a large kitchen. It was nice to have the fireplace because it was unusually cold this weekend. The only thing I would mention if you have small kids is that the shades let in a lot of light which makes for early morning wakings and difficult nap times!

Beautiful Home - a Perfect Getaway
First time to Chincoteague and we loved our time at this beautiful, bright, clean and welcoming home. Great communication by the property management company prior to arrival, so we had no issues with entry when we arrived late at night. Upon arrival, the house was impeccably clean, well lit and smelled wonderful!! The house is on a very quiet street, yet close to everything. And it’s very cute - bright, sunny and open. Huge kitchen, comfortable beds, and very well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware - everything you need. We felt at home as soon as we arrived; it was the perfect place for us to rest after long days of exploring the island on the bikes we rented. When we visit Chincoteague again (and we know we will), we will look to book this same property again. Could not be more pleased.
