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!
