A great base for a tourist!
I came into town for a bike tour and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the beautiful scenery, and being able to visit different places up and down the Eastern Shore.

on the bay
This area of the Eastern shore is lovely...the house sits right across from the marina...great porch for morning coffee or reading...neighbors are very friendly...loads of friendly dogs available (Wilson across the street is a wonderful example) for those of you who left their pooches home and need a fix. We used the kayaks and bikes provided by our hosts. The house is charming and well equipped...we hope to return one day...

Loved this place
This delightful house exceeded our expectations. It was charming and comfortable, well located (quiet neighborhood but interesting scenery in the form of the marina across the road), and full of options for leisure, entertainment, and recreation! In between our day excursions in the area, we enjoyed taking out the kayaks and the bikes, sitting on the screened porch with tea or wine and looking out at the water, and walking over to the small private beach around sunset as recommended. The wi-fi worked great and we watched a couple movies as well. We felt right at home. Would definitely recommend to friends and would stay again!

Kayakers
We loved the property. Way more room than three of us needed. A well supplied kitchen. Set up well to use your own music and or movies, some are supplied. And we were able to launch kayaks right in front of the house. We paddled three days from this location. Once to an off shore island. Once to the town of Onancock and once to the wildlife preserve straight north of the house. We brought our own kayaks, but the host supplies them if you wish. Hope to Return.

Beautiful get away with the nicest people
Absolutely loved it! So relaxing and peaceful! What a gorgeous old farm house with all of the essentials to relax and enjoy! They have kayaks and bikes for the outdoors ! Games , cornhole, music, dvds and a beautiful kitchen to cook in! If you feel like cooking up some crab they have a fabulous crab pot you connect to a bbq propane tank so you can cook it outside and have yourself a crab boil! If you don’t want to go far they have a private beach the sand is wonderful I can walk without water shoes just beware the pine cones they are a little spikes very different from NY . Make sure you catch the sunset absolutely breathtaking and you can catch the sunrise by the beautiful dock in front of the house! The owners are wonderful and available for recommendations for restaurants or any other adventures are your list! We loved Bizottis and ate there twice! Maurice’s was very goo I loved the crab/lobster bisque and don’t forget the octopus so good! And if you have a sweet tooth if I could bring a whole cake home I would it’s a crème brûlée cheesecake omg unbelievable! Enjoy and go visit but better hurry they will probably book up fast!

AMAZING, WARM, HOME AWAY FROM HOME
We needed a restful place to get away since we are taking care of our 94 year old mother with dementia and work is extremely stressful at this time. What a beautiful home, so warm, so cozy and something interesting in every corner! We asked our friends to come over to visit one day since we have been unable to be together for some time (they have a place at Trails End in Horntown). My friend was extremely impressed by the Farmhouse décor, we marveled at the beach and seashore items in every corner, we LOVED it! We only had the weekend and I told her I was thrilled to stay in such a gorgeous home – filled with antiques and collectables, looking out over the water. Without even going out there are so many unique items to see! We love museums and felt as if we were privileged to live in and leisurely investigate all the many priceless artifacts. Collette was such a gracious host, making sure we had all we needed. Bikes and kayaks were provided, a welcome book detailing all the local sites and best places to eat, nothing was left undone. I want to thank Colette and Larry for opening their home to us – you have done an amazing job! What an extremely helpful and gracious host - they clearly love what they do in providing such a welcoming “home away from home!”

Wonderful Getaway!
My husband and I loved our stay at the Whimsical Cottage. We enjoyed the eclectic touches in each room. The view from the porch of the marina/water was beautiful. The beach was around the corner, an easy walk or bike ride. Again, beautiful views. The hosts are so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to welcome us. The town is small and cute. We enjoyed walking around. Highly recommend this cottage. We hope to be back (and try their other rental as well). Only minus is the iffy internet at times, but who really needs the internet when you are surrounded by such natural beauty!!

Nicely renovated Eastern Shore Farmhouse
Colette was a great host. She provided us with a wealth of information on the area including eating and drinking establishments and things to do. The house is in the waterfront community of East Point convenient to Onancock. Easy day trips to Cape Charles and Wachepreague. The house overlooks the community marina with great views. There is also a community beach with beautiful sunsets. I would certainly recommend the house for a stay on the ESV.

Beautiful
Onancock is beautiful and very relaxing.. we slept better than we have in a long time. The clean, pure air alone is a relief. The house is a gem. City people needing a break can experience the stars again, and yes clean air, plus quiet but for sounds of the surf. Nice, decent, down to earth people in Accomack County will look you in the eye and say “good morning”. Took me off guard at first. Onancock and Accomack county, I hesitate to even write this review because I don’t want the rest of the world to see it and come and spoil you. But if you want to breathe clean air, listen to nothing but surf, stay in a comfy house, get to know the stars again and be amongst people who look each other in the eye and say “good morning”, this is the place to be

Home away from home
This home is so fun to stay at. Beautiful on inside and out and so much to keep everyone entertained. This is definitely a place to relax and enjoy nature! We had a great time riding bikes in the area, crabbing, playing games that the house provides, relaxing on screened porch watching the boats come in and out, going to the areas private beach to enjoy sunset, and spending time in the quaint town of Onancock. The owner was so kind to send us information on activities going on in town and communicating everything we needed to know and responding quickly to questions. I would highly recommend a stay in this home!! We would definitely come back!!!

Peaceful and charming getaway
A great place for a family vacation to recharge and relax. Private and secluded, yet close enough for an easy 30-45 minute drive to other areas on the eastern shore. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the front porch watching the birds and listening to the water. The house is beautifully decorated, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Beds are comfy, AC works great, and there is no shortage of items to use in the home. Very positive communication with the owner, quick responses. We are so happy we chose this home for our rental this year and look forward to returning very soon!

Quiet Getaway
The farmhouse was perfect for our stay on the Shore. Loved the kayaks, friendly and peaceful neighborhood, beautiful sunsets, and the well-appointed and comfortable home. We spent hours enjoying the front porch and nearby bayside beach and appreciated the proximity to Onancock and other destinations on the beautiful Eastern Shore.
