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!

Cozy Cottage Allows Pony Experience
We enjoyed our stay on Chincoteague Island. The Cozy Cottage allowed us easy access to the events of the famous pony swim, the carnival and the downtown area. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. My only criticism is; that I wish we could have used the front porch.

Super quaint house!
The house was just as it is portrayed in the pictures and description. House was very clean. Christine responded to all inquiries very quickly. The house is very close to restaurants and shops and a park to watch the sunsets. It is 2 miles from park entrance and it is an easy bike ride. Neighborhood is very quiet.

The property was so well kept. Everything was clean and well maintained. Loved the vintage look.
We enjoyed the furnishings as there were so many places to lounge and enjoy yourself. We did not do a great deal of food prep but enjoyed our coffee each morning and watched some TV at night. Everything that was advertised was there and easy to find. The neighborhood was quiet in the evening for sleeping and we just enjoyed the atmosphere of the island and the cottage. The weather was a little cool while we were there and there was a nice breeze. The window air conditioners were only used at night. I would recommend this location to others.

Cozy and Great Location
We stayed here for 3 nights with my 4 year old son and had a wonderful time. The house is very charming with a cute sun porch and a nice yard with a picnic table and places to hang your laundry. There was an issue with the outdoor shower not working but Christine was very communicative and had someone over to fix it right away. Walking distance to the bay where the library, shops, and beautiful sunsets are. The beach and restaurants were a little crowded on the summer weekend so definitely plan ahead with dinner reservations. Definitely recommend this cozy cottage!

Charming Cottage, Great Location
We found the location to be a perfect! Main St. was a short walk away, and we explored many of the little local shops on our numerous walks. The cottage was clean and comfortable, but the ant situation was off-putting. We heeded the instructions to keep all foods in the fridge (cold peanut butter is a nuisance!), and we sprayed the provided ant spray the first day. Yet, we still had encounters with the ants. Thank goodness no bites, though! The best morning was a cup of coffee on the great front porch. It was peaceful and cozy.

Comfy cottage, too many skeeters
We enjoyed our stay here, cute little cottage, nice front sun porch. Huge deck, however we weren’t able to enjoy it or even go outside much because the mosquitos were attacking. We were swarmed as we were trying to check in and every time going out side. Great outdoor shower, bring flip flops though because you have to walk all the way around the backyard to get back inside. We didn’t use too much kitchen stuff but it definitely seemed to be stocked with Essentials. House very clean. Great location, walking distance to food and quaint shops nearby. Quiet peaceful area.
