About this house rental

Please feel free to write if you have questions. Unlike Chincoteague, this is a rural setting - the neighborhood is eight houses along Metompkin Bay. But it's an easy half-hour trip to Chincoteague if you'd rather go to the beach there. Our beach is a 15-minute kayak trip away (there are five kayaks included in the rental, paddles, and various size life jacketsl). There are also lot of little creeks in the marsh to explore by kayak. If you have a boat, there's a public boat ramp close by.

Our neighbors often fish in the bay, and surf fishing is great at certain times of year. We have crab traps - the crabbing is pretty good off the dock. If you are plenty of birds to watch for the birders. Onancock (10 minutes away) is where we go for nice restaurants and charming little shops. Lots of other attractions are shown in this listing.

We have three decks - two on the water side and one on the land side, in addition to a screened porch - lovely views in all directions. The house is almost all windows on the water side, to take advantage of these wonderful views. The living room/dining room/kitchen is open plan and on the water side of the house. A bedroom, bath, and second bedroom/TV room are on the road side of the house. The bathroom houses a washer and drier that are hidden behind doors. The master bedroom, (loft) and bath occupy the upstairs, and have an even better view of the marshes, bay, and even a glimpse of the ocean! The bottom floor is a garage, and has a laundry sink and extra refrigerator.

We had a wonderful time at this beautifully appointed home. Everything was just as advertised. Six kayaks, gas grill, beautiful view and great kitchen/dining areas. Our hostess was wonderful to us.

The host was amazingly accommodating to a change in our schedule as well as very responsive to our inquiries. The house has just about everything you could need for a stay. The location is great but the view………I could have stayed on the deck for the entire visit.
