Everything was very clean and the home was beautiful! It's not the most toddler friendly, but we were able to make do by moving everything breakable. We couldn't really use the one sliding door due to numerous broken blinds, but we just went out the upstairs door to get the deck. Overall we were very pleased!

Great views comfortable furniture. My only complaint was need better utensils in the kitchen for cooking. The Weber grill crate was very old and dirty so we were unable to use it. There seemed to be a lot of repairs needed throughout the house.

This is a great property with a great view of the bay. It's tucked away in a quiet little neighborhood in a nice and friendly community. Chincoteague is close by and it's not too far from Assateague. The property management team is excellent. They were extremely responsive to our questions and requests. They were patient with all our questions. Kelly was fantastic. The best hosts I've had.

View is prettier in person...pictures just don't do it justice. Sitting on the dock with the sounds of nature was just what we needed. Check-in was very easy and everything was as listed. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well supplied. Memories that will last a life time.
