Cozy cottage w/ creekside fire pit & patio

Summary:

Experience a tranquil island escape at Creekside Retreat, where sunrise light fills a sunroom and the creek’s wildlife greets you each morning.

- Fast WiFi & dedicated workspace for remote work

- Fully equipped kitchen & bathroom essentials

The Space:

Morning light filters through the sunroom as birds gather along the quiet creek behind the cottage, and the island feels unhurried even in the cooler months. The crisp coastal air, rustling reeds, and gentle movement of water set an easy rhythm for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. When the day winds down, the fire pit becomes a natural gathering spot, warming conversations under clear winter skies.

- Central heating keeps the single‑level home cozy during colder weather.

- Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace with a door support remote work and video calls.



Kitchen & dining

- The fully equipped kitchen lets you prepare meals at home, and the dining area invites long, shared dinners after a day of island exploring.

- Bedroom and bathroom essentials, including linens and towels, are provided so you can pack light.

- Laundry facilities are available in the building for longer stays.



Outdoor living

- A private, fully fenced backyard opens to the creek, where herons, egrets, and other coastal wildlife often visit.

- A patio, grill, and fire pit make outdoor meals and evenings enjoyable even in cooler weather.

- After rain the yard may be wet, and bug repellent can be helpful near the water.

- Free on‑site and off‑site parking is provided for guests.



Pet‑friendly convenience

- Dogs are welcome; cats are not allowed due to allergies.

Exploring Chincoteague

- Downtown Chincoteague’s shops, cafés, and restaurants are close enough for convenience yet far enough to return each evening to a quieter lane by the creek.



Perfect for

- Couples, families, or small groups of friends who appreciate nature, a relaxed atmosphere, and the simple comforts of a well‑equipped coastal cottage.

The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. However, I was disappointed that the fire pit, one of the main features advertised, was rusted and broken. It would have been nice to enjoy a working fire pit as shown in the listing. Overall, the home itself was pleasant, but the outdoor amenities could use some maintenance.

We actually passed the house the first time because the photo is photoshopped and does not represent what the house currently looks like. It smelled musty upon arrival and there were two dehumidifiers in the house. We had the air conditioning set on 70 and we still had to empty the large dehumidifier four times and they small one six times and we were not even there for 48 hours. We tried to get a late check out because the place was not rented the following day, but they could not accommodate us because of their cleaning crew schedule. Check out was at 10:00 a.m., so we had to get up early and do a bunch of work and empty dehumidifiers and sweep and vacuum floors before we left. Seemed like a lot of work, and a bit pricey for what it was. All of the bulbs were burnt out in the laundry room leading to the screened porch. They were no lights in the screen porch either and there were no lights in the backyard to walk our dogs. The grass back there was kind of long as well. Aside from all that, the house was well equipped with necessities for cooking and such.

Just ok

I thought the property was just ok. It had a musty smell inside. The shower in primary bath couldn’t be used because of the water that came out. There was only one bath towel for each person, one hand towel in each bathroom and one towel in kitchen. The shower in the other bathroom was great. There was no place to hang clothes in the primary bedroom. The backyard was not inviting. It was nice to have 2 dining areas and the a/c worked great. One of the dehumidifiers was very noisy and needed to be turned off sometimes so we could hear each other. They also had to be emptied frequently. The beds were comfortable. There was limited parking; the road is too narrow for parking.

Nice place to stay on the Island

Large kitchen and overall convenient location. Toilet paper holder in bathroom was missing so we had to chase the roll a few times after it fell off the back of the toilet. I'm guessing they can fix that easily.

Senior concerns

Started out poorly. Had difficulty finding in the rain and dark at night. Tony our host did send us a picture so that was helpful. Inside the house was clean. However the screened in porch and the backyard area was a mess. We had looked forward to eating outside on the porch but the furniture etc was so filthy we could not do that. In addition the steps off of the driveway were very steep. Also the way the screen door opened on these steps it was difficult to get to the railing. We are senior citizens so that was a big safety issue for us. One very good point was the glassed in porch on the front. Another plus was the beds were comfortable and the air conditioner worked good. Another issue was when we were trying to checkout the code for the lock box was different from the handbook we downloaded and the one Tony sent the first night. We were using the one in the handbook and we could not get the box open to put the keys in. We spent quite a bit of time trying to figure it out until we tried the one that Tony sent us.This is a good placement for a young family who will be out most of the day.

Terrible. We walked in and left with in 15 minutes

This place was nothing like the pictures on VRBO. The house was in such disrepair it looked terrible! There was black mold on the front and back of the house. There was an overturned trashcan in the front yard with trash in it! The grass had not been mowed and was about 8 inches tall. The inside smelled of mold. The furniture old, unmatching. I caught my sweater on a splintered part of the table and it ripped my sweater. There was dust and dirt and a lot of pollen inside the house, all over the floors near the back door and front door. The siding on house was loose and looked like it would fall off. The neighborhood was awful! There was a rusted trailer next door with trash all around it. The other neighbor had a huge tank in yard and trash everywhere. The fence in between this house and the trailer was literally falling over. The ‘firepit’ was a small round bowl with unmatching chairs around and grass so long you would not want to sit out there at all. The neighborhood felt unsafe! No view as this house is right on a road that is LOUD and lots of cars going by. It was so terrible we could not stay there and left 15 minutes after arrival. I contacted the host, he told me to contact VRBO. I hope they will get back to me.

We only had a short stay to relax away from work but the weather didn’t cooperate (rainy and windy). Luckily the cottage was cozy and we enjoyed our books and each other. Only suggestion, need a sponge or brush to help in cleaning up after meals. Would definitely recommend to others

Not happy

No bath mats or hand towels in bathrooms. Master shower leaked each time it was used. We had to use extra towels to mop up the water. Not trash bags provided (contacted Tony to get some). No dish towels provided. Paper towels and toilet were cheap and very thin, so you had to use twice as much. Ran out of toilet paper mid week. Contacted Tony and was told no one was available to bring us any more. Had to go to an Island store to buy some. Prices are higher, despite it being "off season". I emptied the 2 humidifiers daily. I was not asked to, but did due to the humidity in the house. Mid week, issue's with AC. Maintenance man showed up over an hour late. He said he thought it was the thermostat. It did work the rest of the stay. Run down trailer right next door. A man sat in his recliner 24/7 watching tv with his window wide open. Kinda creepy! Shower curtain in bathroom was yellowed and gross at the bottom. Small TV, roku needs replaced. LR furniture uncomfortable (it is wicker with cushions). LR is small and limited furniture. Not enough room for more than 3 people. I was texted the night before trash day and told to put the trash out. We had been there 2 days. All the trash was from the previous people. But, I did it. Too many reminder texts about checkout. I am not a moran. DO NOT do Barnacle Bills Boat Tour. Paid over $100.00 and did not see 1 single pony or dolphin!

Quiet Retreat

Enjoyed a long and glorious weekend in Chincoteague with family. The cottage was quaint, clean, and it was greatly appreciated that linens were provided. Communication with the host was exceptional.

Pony penning week

The pony penning week experience was amazing and highly recommended. We were disappointed to learn upon arrival that the master bath was "under construction". The shower was unusable resulting in 4 adults sharing 1 shower. Not ideal anytime but especially challenging when outdoor activities result in sweat and grime. The host/owner was very responsive, but responses were automated and disingenuous. For example, when told the grill was not operable or safe, he quickly said he'd alert his handyman, but we never saw or heard from the handyman and the grill remained unusable. We made the best of it and enjoyed the experience, but the house was not additive.
