Nestled in Chincoteague Island, this attractive house for $275 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Enjoy what nature has to offer in this quiet but active resort island on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The atmosphere is a relaxed one yet there is an extensive amount of activities for vacationers. From surf, bay or offshore fishing to kayaking, sunbathing, bird watching, hiking and biking nature trails, picking clams, oysters and crabbing for the famous blue crabs in the surrounding waters. The Island is home to many well-known painting and decoy-carving artists and has a variety of craft shops for browsing and taking home souvenirs. La Maison Bleue is a contemporary home centrally located 1/2 mile to downtown and 2 miles to the Assateague bridge and beach road. It is nestled in a quiet setting overlooking a pond teeming with ever changing wildlife: herons, egrets, mallards, ibis, kingfishers, skimmers, killdeer and more. You may witness a brood of ducks dropping from the nest guided to safety by their mother. Screech owls have nested in one of the two nest boxes in past years. The colorful kingfisher visits the pond throughout the day for its meals. We often see deer strolling around the pond from our living area. Our favorite room in the house is the gourmet kitchen with upgraded amenities: SS double oven, dish washer, side by side refrigerator and 5 burner gas cook top invite you to create your delectable recipes while sipping on your favorite beverage. French doors lead to a well appointed screened porch. Great for dining, reading or just observing wildlife in and around the pond. Sunbathe in privacy on the large exterior deck or relax on the ground level patio in the shade of trees. Refresh yourself in the enclosed outdoor hot shower after a day at the beach. Prepare your catch of the day at the cleaning station and BBQ your favorite food or steam fresh caught crabs, clams and oysters on a large gas burner. Enjoy the outside deck or screened porch and reminisce about the day's events while being serenaded by the sounds of nature's creations. The spacious and bright living room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pond giving a feeling of outdoor living. Relax on the very comfortable leather sofas and enjoy your favorite show on the High Definition TV. The open floor plan connects the living room with a formal dining room. Dim the chandelier lights and enjoy a memorable dinner with friends and loved ones while listening to your favorite music with our docking station for your electronics. The Master bedroom has a private bath with shower, and a closet organizer for your belongings. Dream in a California king size bed sheets or read in a comfy leather chair. A lovely crib is also available for your infant child. In the morning you will likely awake to the quacking of ducks waiting for a handout of corn. (Corn is provided in a container under the house). The guest bedroom has a queen size bed with a firm mattress for comfortable sleeping and a closet organizer. The study/bedroom features two twin size beds and a queen size convertible futon bed to accommodate all guests.

The second full bathroom is shared with these two bedrooms. The full size washer and dryer will serve you well at your convenience. Keep cool with covered parking under the house. The spacious area around the house can accommodate several vehicles, a boat trailer or kayaks. A secured storage room under the house is for your bikes or other personal belongings.
