Chincoteague Island Vacation Rental

Modern two-bedroom furnished
townhouse on
Virginia's
historic Chincoteague Island available for your vacation rental or
weekend
getaway. Located on Eel Creek, it offers a magnificent sunrise view
of Little
Oyster Bay and adjacent marshlands. Just off Beach Road, you are
near everything
in Chincoteague: walk to nearby shops and restaurants, bike to
downtown
or the Assateague beach or Wildlife Refuge. Use our
private
crabbing pier. Bring your canoe or kayak, but be sure to
watch the tide
tables.
Two large
bedroom "suites," each with a
full, private
bathroom. Great for families or two couples. Sleep sofa in
large
living room, featuring beamed ceiling. Powder room
downstairs.
Fully equipped
eat-in kitchen, with
microwave, dishwasher,
and everything you need for at-home cooking and meals.
Washer/dryer, cable
TV, VCR, central air conditioning.
Deck with outdoor
furniture and
Weber barbeque grill overlooks Eel Creek, marsh, and
Chincoteague's Little
Oyster Bay. Great Blue Herons, Egrets, other migratory waterfowl,
and wildlife
frequent this area.
The Assateague Island National Seashore is an
undeveloped
National Park with an excellent beach and great Federally
administered parking
and facilities.
CNN is featuring
Assateague as a Hidden Treasure. Because parking is
limited and access controlled, the
Assateague beach is never overcrowded. (Be sure to go early on
summer weekends
to get your best spot.)
Located on the East Cost migratory bird flyway, the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge offers year-round opportunities for birders and nature lovers, with bike and walking trails. Recently, American Bald Eagles have begun nesting in the Refuge. Snow Geese, Canada Geese, and many varieties of wild ducks winter here. You can see many of them from our deck.
Fishing is excellent, from Flounder in the back bays to
Blues in the surf. Local
captains run
inexpensive charters and rental boats and tackle are available.
Crabbing
from our private pier on Eel Creek is fun for the whole family--we
even provide
the crabbling gear.
And of course, there are the legendary Chincoteague
wild
ponies. Tradition has it they are descended from ponies
shipwrecked off
Assateague Island in the 17th Century. Whether this is true, the
ponies roam
free on Assateague and in the Wildlife Refuge, under the care of
the Chincoteague
Volunteer Firemen. Each July, on Pony Penning Day, the herd is
rounded up
by the "Gumboot Cowboys" of the Fire Company and swum across the
narrow channel
to Chincoteague during the annual Carnival. Who knows, you may buy
one at
the auction and take it home!
