Stayed here with another couple and our dog to explore the uniqueness of chincoteague while relaxing. Sunsets on the dock were beautiful and the quiet serenity of the area was so relaxing. The place was spacious and clean with wonderful views from 2 of the 3 bedrooms. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Very clean, comfortable, and charming home right on the bay. Highlights for our family were the dock (great for fishing), deck, and screened in porch for watching the sunsets. Close enough to town to bike to but still peaceful and private.

Very comfortable bay front beach house

Great views of the bay, the waterfowl and excellent stargazing from the pier. Nicely renovated and well appointed. The master bath/shower is a nice bit of luxury. The mattresses were extremely comfortable. Overall a very nice place at a very good price. I highly recommend it!

Amazing views

The house was great and handicapped accessible. Some aspects were not as advertised, such as the screened-in porch is missing large screens and there was a mix-up and we did not have linens for about 20 hours after the check-in time. The views were prettier than expected and the house was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies.

This is a lovely house in the most beautiful locations on Chincoteague Bay. The layout of the house was perfect for us (grandparents on the bottom floor in the master bedroom, each grandchild and her parents in one of the rooms upstairs), and the house is situated on a lovely lot right on the water with a sturdy dock. We were there for a nor'easter and the closing of the causeway bridge, and although we had water up to and under the house, we felt safe the entire time. We never lost power and the VRBO company stayed in touch we us the entire time. They even sent someone out to check on the septic system because it was under a foot of water (it held up fine).

Cute and comfy

Cute property with lovely view. A few items in need of repair (stove top was cracked and fireplace needed screen to cover wires) but overall great for a weekend getaway. Living room furniture seemed new and was very comfortable. Outside furniture could have been cleaned before arrival. If planning to cook make sure to check that the stove top has been repaired. Would definitely stay again.

Quiet summer getaway

This cottage was lovely. Private, quiet, clean, and with beautiful views of the bay. I could have spent the whole week on the screened porch. My only criticism is that the air conditioning doesn't cool the upstairs sufficiently. There are fans in the house, and you definitely need them on the second floor. Also, no linens means no bath mats, so don't forget to bring them like we did. But even with those criticisms, I would happily stay here again.

August 2022 Stay

House was very updated and clean. We brought paddle boards and the dock was wonderful. The master suite is huge and the bathroom as well. The two bedrooms upstairs were smaller than we thought. The bathroom on the first floor had a curtain that was only half covering the window so there was no privacy for showers. The mosquitoes were so bad during our week even in the screened in porch but we’ve heard august is the worst for mosquitoes in Chincoteague. We will have to pick an earlier date in the summer next time!

Nice in the Fall

Family enjoyed the getaway at your property. Positives included: convenient location, excellent views of water and potential NASA launches, comfortable furniture and beds, beautiful porch on bayside. Negatives included: uneven flooring, online pictures of the interior are better than the real thing, and non-working fireplace. I also received emails regarding cleaning of property before we left including: wipe down kitchen, take out trash, vacuum/sweep floors, strip beds of linen and place towels and linen at door. I assumed there was a cleaning service b/c there is a tip jar for cleaners, so was unsure why we had to do so much before the cleaners came. We do still appreciate the use of the home on Chincoteague Island.

Adorable

It was the perfect fit for me and my hubby. He is on crutch's due to a botch hip surgery many yrs ago... anyway the house 1st floor is very handicap friendly. The master bedroom bed was comfy but very low to the ground. And bring your own pillows. Not many there. The one thing we were really looking forward to was going out on the dock, but I think between the storm that had come and just wear and tear on the wooden pathway to the dock, it fell down. We were not able to get out to the water. We did receive a small refund which we appreciated, and we would love to go back and visit that house and Chincoteague again.

Wonderful location

We loved the property location. We saw the sunset each night from the large windows, screened porch and pier. My son caught sea bass, eel, and many other small fish. We rented kayaks. Some days were really windy but we did get some very relaxing time one the water. My husband and son saw 3 or 4 sharks, We caught blue crab every night and had with dinner. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Nice dishwasher, new washer and dryer. Two bedrooms up stairs are small and were a little warm. The large first floor bedroom was handicap accessible. Mattresses were okay. WiFi was good. We loved Assateague national refugee. We walked a lot of the nature trails. Saw wild ponies, tricolor heron, egrets, butterflies and frogs. We had a beach day. We saw sea gulls, sand pipers and plowers. The house needs some work. Porches had not been sweep down so there were lots of spider webs. Go to the food lion if purchasing groceries. It is only 20 minutes away. The Valu mart on The island was pricy and the food not too appealing. We set up a reservation at Etta’s. When we got there they told us they didn’t have at least 7 or 8 Seafood items on the menus. The menu was already limited so we left. We went to Don’s in town. It was okay. Glad we ate in most night. Overall we would rent again because of pier and location.

We had a wonderful time at Trembling Bay. The house was comfortable and convenient and the views were absolutely beautiful! Chincoteague Vacations Team was lovely and responsive as well! Only thing to note is the need for the linens package(unless you want to bring all linens including bathmats etc) and be sure to bring your own oil/spices/tinfoil etc! This place was an excellent choice for a sisters getaway weekend!

The mattresses need some serious upgrades. The king size bed does not have a box spring so the mattress sags between the slats of the frame and the bed only sits about a foot off the ground. I have a physical disability and the bed was too low to the ground for me to get up and down. I climbed the stairs each night and slept on the only comfortable mattress I could find. A twin bed for my almost 6 foot frame. Pictures show a sectional sofa in home but the house has two chairs and a love seat that could not have been slept on. Maintenance did place a board under mattress of king bed, but it needs a box spring to be comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is very nice, however it is hard to enjoy a vacation when the beds are uncomfortable. King bed has no box spring so mattress sags between the bed rails and it only sits about 6 inches off ground. I personally slept on one of the twin beds upstairs. I am almost 6 feet tall and weight almost 300 but it was the only bed with any support. Pictures show house with big sectional sofa house had small uncomfortable sofa and chairs. Updated pictures needed

Beautiful setting

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful time at Trembling Bay. The house was lovely, the master suite amazing, and the views were unparalleled. The only downsides were the upstairs bedrooms. They were quite small and warm. The pier could use some maintenance as well. However, the stay was so enjoyable those were small annoyances. I'd return there in a blink.

Overall the house/location was great. However, there were a few minor issues: the stovetop wasn’t cleaned very well, there was an issue with one of the TVs and the A/C wasn’t working properly toward the end of our stay. I’m assuming someone already knew because a technician came to fix it. While we were happy to see them, a heads up that this company was coming would have been appreciated.

June 2021 Stay

I have been coming here for over 30 years and have rented numerous. I was most disappointed in this rental for so many reasons. Air conditioner froze up daily (even with following the directions). Master TV didn’t work at all and was never attended to during our stay. All skillets are in terrible shape. Owner needs to invest in a new set. Shower consistently leaks onto bathroom floor. You had to sit on the washer to keep it latched during the spin cycle and the dryer makes a horrid screeching sound every time we used it. We never did receive correct sheets from the linen rental and although we understand there is an apparent “linen shortage”, a proper communication prior (vs the day of) would have prompted us to get a king fitted sheet on our own. The $80 rental fee is a joke if you don’t get the needed linens. Future guests need to know there is NO a/c in the upstairs bedrooms, only fans, and it gets very warm. We ran out of hot water during our stay but the company was prompt in getting gas refilled
