Clean Nice Location

This is a nice place with plenty of parking. The house is clean. The management responded to a door issue in a few hours. Remember to bring plenty of bed, bath, and kitchen linens if you do not rent theirs. I did not. Also remember to bring extra toilet paper, dishwasher and laundry detergent, and other basics as there was not an adequate supply.

We had a lovely stay at Our Happy Place! The house was well equipped with modern conveniences, clean, and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking all our seafood dinners. The wrap around screen porch was great for bird watching and eating meals, bug free. Enjoyed crabbing and catching some sun on the dock. If I were to add anything it would be a kayak and fire pit but other than that we had everything we needed for a great vacation. Love the keyless entry too! Thanks for a great stay!

Our Happy Place was everything we wanted in our Chincoteague vacation rental! The location was superb! We loved being able to go kayaking right from the dock! The neighborhood was nice and quite for walking our dog. We loved the view of the stars at night - just remember the bug spray! The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house was very clean. We would definitely rent this house again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay so much at Our Happy Place!! We come to Chincoteague every year and love the Oyster Bay community. From the moment we got there, it was nothing but a great time. The screened in porch was nice anytime of the day, especially when you catch the wind from the water. The open floor plan of the house and the decorations where lovely. Every piece of furniture in the house was super comfy so we all slept soundly. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had an Air fryer! The outdoor shower was a must after the beach to wash all the sand off. We brought our boat so having a boat dock and ramp right there to launch was very convenient. There is honestly not one bad thing I could find about this house. We will definitely be staying here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great, pet friendly house along the water.

We really enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of Our Happy Place. The porch and the view Are great. Chincoteague maintains its charm, along with some new activities and places in town. We’ve been coming here for years, and I wonder why anyone would not like to live here! Thank for all your help at the office: linens, payment, and suggestions, timeliness on what to do.
