Lovely Island Getaway

If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is certainly a place to check out. We've stayed twice over the past two months and have really enjoyed the community and everything the home has to offer -- especially the private dock. The home is perfect for grilling out and catching beautiful sunsets, while still being close enough to wonderful local eateries for takeout.

Comfortable home in Chincoteague

We enjoyed our stay in Chincoteague; the water view in the back is fantastic and the home is very comfortable for relaxing. One cautionary not is that you will need to bring your own towels and soap - we did not realize that until after we arrived.

Great weekend

We had a great weekend at Family Tides. The house is within walking distance to the Island Creamery and the Downtown area. The kitchen has all the equipment/utensils needed to cook great meals, the large book collection was enjoyed as much as the toys and games available. Our kids appreciated especially the outside area and the dock at the back of the house.

Great location, cool historical house

Fresh updates to a cozy historical house made this very comfortable, but also plugged in with the overall vibe in Chincoteague. We enjoyed sitting out on the wraparound porch, sitting down by the water, and even just catching the sunset from the master bedroom. A couple games and toys were more than enough for our kids to enjoy. While it may be true anywhere on the island, we really loved being a short drive or walk from everything we wanted to do.
