~IMPORTANT INFORMATION~
LINENS AND TOWELS ARE NOT INCLUDED. However, we can provide these items for you at a cost of $17 per bed.

Guests will need a way to transport kayaks. | Our personal beach gear and bikes are available for your use but these items are not professionally maintained. For this reason we can not guarantee all items will be in usable condition.


~ABOUT THE LOCATION~
One of the highlights of our beach house is that it is within walking distance to the Historic Downtown of Chincoteague! Here you will find restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, coffee shops, the waterfront park, a fishing pier and all that Main St has to offer! We are located off of the intersection of Clark St and Main St. Three blocks north you will find Chincoteague's other main road, Maddox Blvd, which will take you right out to the beach!

Getting around is extremely convenient from our location. Our close proximity to downtown eliminates any parking hassles! In addition to being within walking distance to Chincoteague's in-town activities, any part of the island is just a bike ride away! We have parking for one dedicated to our building and free street parking facing east on Clark St.

Comfortable and quiet respite

We stayed for 3 nights in this comfortable home. Plenty of space for all 5 of us (4 adults and 1 teen) to cook easy breakfasts, lunches, and bake cookies, play board games, as well as a great home base for walking to restaurants, shopping, and heading out for nature walks, boat tours. We very much enjoyed our stay. Easy communication with owners, too.

Great Early Spring Stay!

We booked this last min and I’m so glad we found it. Very conveniently located to downtown, it made it easy to explore the island. The property was super clean and the hosts were very organized. We only had three people but this could easily fit a larger family. Would absolutely recommend.to others.

Sweet place, well kept and convenient.

Stayed in the off season when it's nice and quiet. The home was well kept, clean, and nicely situated. Owners were solid, and very responsive to the one issue we had (a sticking side entrance storm door - taken care of quickly). Comfortable bed, cozy couches, and a clean kitchen. Can't ask for better on a weekend retreat.

Great place for family of 6!

We had a great stay with our family of six- kids aged 9-14. Having the bikes was a hit for the teens to be able to roam to get ice cream or to fish at the park. It was clean and cozy. The host did a great job communicating before and during our stay. If we get to Chincoteague again, will definitely check here for available!

Great family retreat for family

The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and in super condition, the bedrooms are great so everyone can enjoy some quiet time and privacy. Loads of beach gear provided, games as well. Location convenient to get to beach, shopping, mainland bridge, boat trips and eating out. Very much enjoyed the evening sun sitting on the swing on the front porch.

Stay in Chicoteague

Sir Whelk a Lot worked out great for the 4 of us. The upstairs has 3 beds and its own bathroom, so it was like having a separate suite. The steps are narrow, so you have to be careful. Great location

An excellent stay on best island on earth.

This house served our group really well. It’s clean, spacious, and in a fantastic location to walk to shops along the main street. It’s in a quiet location, but in a perfect spot for activities. You can explore the beach and forest all day and this is the perfect place to relax and revive. There is an outdoor shower to wash the beach off after a day in the sun. You can’t go wrong staying here. It’s hard to have a bad time on Chincoteague island. This house will accelerate your wonderful stay.
