Great Spot on the Island

The house was clean, well maintained, quiet at night, and plenty of parking for 2 cars if needed. For the price, this place is a steal even during peak season. Only "complaint" would be no wifi but that had zero impact on our experience.

Love this Beach Cottage

This is our second time visiting this cute cottage. We loved making this our home while we stayed for a short time on the island. The location to everything is perfect. The Beach, restraunts, parks, shopping...all very close by. We also loved the decor and layout and most importantly, it is clean! Thanks for another great stay!

Perfect little getaway for Independence Day!

I took my teen daughters on an adventure to Chincoteague Island over 4th of July. Michelle's place was exactly as described in the listing and perfect for the three of us. After a week of sharing a hotel room in the Outer Banks, we enjoyed being able to relax in our own spaces with the three bedrooms. The home was very clean and had all the needed amenities, plus! The location was perfectly situated to all that the island has to offer. Michelle's helpful and detailed communication was much appreciated. We would definitely return for another stay!

Cute home

Very clean, well maintained little house. We loved the fact that we could unplug while we stayed, my husband and I both have very stressful jobs and being able to escape meant everything. It was in a quiet location with the most beautiful little fairytale tree out front. Great place to get away. I will definitely book again in the future.

Great Choice for Chincoteague

This was a great find, a few blocks away from the main drag, and only about ten minutes from Assateague Beach. Very comfortable, host was terrific. When we got there we had a question about the listing, as Vrbo had indicated there was a hot tub (which there wasn't). Michelle was very apologetic, seems to be a miscommunication with Vrbo over the amenities. But that was a minor issue, we were there for the beach and the ponies anyway! The only thing to keep in mind {and this isn't a reflection on the property) is that cellular service on the whole island seems to be VERY spotty (particularly at the house). It was challenging to look up tours, restaurants, etc., but not so much that it was a major hassle. In all, it was a great stay, and we would definitely consider this listing again!

A beautiful home!!

This was our first time in Chincoteague, we wanted to see if it would be a good place for our family to start vacationing every year. This house is located in such a convenient spot where everything is close! If you stay here, go to Mr. Baldy's up the street for breakfast. I promise you won't be disappointed!! The hiuse was clean, fresh linens, plenty of dvds for my kids to watch, and a beautiful little back porch with chairs where the kids spent most of their time. The beach is only 15 minutes away and stores are within 5 minutes. We will definitely be staying here again, we were so happy and impressed with everything!!!

Always Great

This was the 5th time we've stayed at this location, and it feels like a cozy home-away-from-home. There's a reason we continue to rent it every year. Great location & comfortable. We'll be back soon!

Cute little house for a getaway

The house was super cute, no Wi-Fi or cable which was told to us before our stay. There are a bunch of board games and some dvds there though. It was only 15 minute golf cart ride from Assateague which was nice.

Old fashioned vacation house

The house was spotlessly clean, and well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and linens. Michelle was kind enough to leave beach towels for us (which we didn't end up using because the weather was cool and rainy). We enjoyed reading "Misty of Chincoteague" (2 copies provided) and watching the movie version on DVD. There is a nice collection of books about birds. The washer and dryer came in handy. The supermarket and shopping area are a few minutes' drive. We enjoyed playing mini golf, and going out on a Daisey's tour, during which we were rewarded with seeing the Chincoteague ponies!

Another Great Stay

Our second stay at this house was even better than the first time! As soon as I walked in, I remembered why I loved this house the first time. There is just something very homey, unique, and comfortable about it. The layout of the house works pretty well for our family, and the kids enjoyed the little bit of yard space available. My only suggestion is to put a queen bed in one of the bedrooms, preferably the downstairs bedroom. Nonetheless, a great place to stay. I'd return for a third stay for sure.

Cute little cottage that feels like home away from home.

This is the 2nd time I stayed here, 1st time with husband this time with mom and sister. We enjoyed the accommodations along with the beauty of the island, refuge and beach. Plan to return with the family again. Always a blessing, thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven on earth.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Howard Waterfield

My name is Michelle Waterfield. My father, Mitchell Howard is the owner of this property. I live on the mainland as does my father. I am a stay-at-home mom and I assist my dad in managing the rental. I'm usually available to assist with basic needs regarding the home and I am responsible for all of the bookings. My father is a self-employed carpenter who has owned this home since the mid 90s. It once belonged to his grandparents (Chincoteague Natives, local clammers). We have been renting this house out for a while now. My father is a native of the island, and I did a lot of growing up there as well, so we are both fairly knowledgeable if you have questions or need suggestions.

Why they chose this property

This home belonged to my great grandparents, so it is family owned. There are fond memories of chicken and dumpling Sunday dinners, childhood birthday parties, sitting in the front yard and my pop-pop sitting out front under the willow tree next to his clam shack where he sold clams. The home is simple and traditional Chincoteague style. One of the best features of this home is close proximity to the Chincoteague Annual Pony Swim, we enjoy time with the family here every year for the special event!

What makes this property unique

The willow tree out front provides nice shad and there is a backyard sitting area with a tiny but nice deck that is fun and enjoyable for everyone. We enjoy grilling out or eating sandwiches on the picnic table with the family. There are bicycles located in the shed for family bike rides. From the upstairs bedroom you can observe the Assateague lighthouse in the distance. You can faintly see the flickering light through the window in the evening.

Another benefit is the very close proximity to memorial park. Enjoy the public boat ramp, playground equipment, fishing dock, gazebo and picnic area.
