Quick weekend getaway
The house is beautiful, we especially enjoyed the back porch and the outdoor shower. The host gave us great suggestions of places to eat and places to visit while on the island. However we had a plumbing issue with the toilet. We were unable to contact the host after several attempts we contacted vrbo who also tried to contact her and was unable to reach her. Unfortunately because this was the only bathroom in the house we had to leave a day early but Christine was generous and gave us a one night refund for the night we were not there. Overall the experience was very good. as

Every comfort provided
We Loved staying in this warmly inviting cottage on Chincoteague island. Every comfort was provided in this warm beach cottage and the well- appointed amenities made it feel like home. Having breakfast on the sunny enclosed porch was a great start to the day! Within walking distance of good restaurants, the waterfront, shopping, with a short drive to local sights.

Quiet and charming
I could live here! An adorable and well kept cottage with everything you could possibly need. Easy walk to Main St, grocery store and trolley. Stayed for Oyster Fest with my sister and it was easy to get there on the trolley and nice to be away from the action. We're both big readers and really enjoyed all of the comfortable indoor and outdoor spots to lounge. Comfortable beds too. Absolutely wonderful stay!

A Quaint Little Spot!
Stayed at Christine’s house for a weekend getaway with a few friends, and this house was perfect for what we were looking for. The street was nice and quiet, close enough that we could walk down to some of the great coffee shops for breakfast, but far enough away from everything that we weren’t bothered. Spent lots of time on the awesome back deck, enjoying the cool May weather!

Peace, tranquillity and beach walks
We’re in the middle of a long, dusty, noisy construction project and needed a break from it. I think we chose the best week of the year. The weather was absolutely perfect, the house has such comfortable beds and porches to relax on, everything is within walking distance and there were even a stack of movie DVDs to watch when we weren’t out kayaking in the marshes, communing with the horses or shell hunting barefoot while getting nature’s pedicure. Fabulous stay. We’ll be back.
