Great place for our family and pets. Spacious, clean, modern and well declared home. We loved our stay! Two suggestions for future guests, add chicken wire to the fence to prevent smaller dogs going through the slats. Another suggestion would be to extend the raining to the first two big steps, hard for older guests. Thank you!!!

Short trip to the shore!

The property is really nice. Great back deck area as well. Nice lay out. Close to everything. I rated it 4 stars because there were no paper products in the rental. We were not told to bring any so upon entering we had to ensure we had toilet paper, although some on the holder not enough for 4 days.and I’d rent it again. Great for pets all the other paper products you’d expect.

Coffeemakers and toaster not working. Mattress old and sagging. My husband and I had to alternate sleeping on couch bc sleeping on mattress hurt our backs. And the couch wasnt that comfy either. Very saggy in places.

First Beach Trip

Wonderful place to stay! We brought our 2 year old down with us and I felt very safe letting her walk around both inside the property and outside. The upstairs is weirdly much larger then the photos give it credit for, the hot tub was amazing

A Great little hide away

Perfect house ,so enjoyed our stay. My one suggestion is there was no working coffee makers. They were all broke and did not work. One very small one that maybe made 2 or 3 cups? Everything else was perfect !! We will be back ! A 10 star for sure !

Perfect stay!

The cottage fit us all so comfortably and we had ample space to include our dog. The fenced in yard was a bonus for him. The hot tub was perfect, we used it daily since the weather was a little chilly. Will definitely be back!

Weekend getaway with friends

We were a party consisting of 3 couples with 3 dogs staying at this rental for the weekend. The overall trip was great and we would revisit this rental for sure! The rental location was perfect for exploring the area with or without pets. There were a lot of good local food places to check out. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs as we could sit outside with them. The management company even presented us with 3 doggie packages upon arrival which was super cute and appreciated!

Fantastic rental house

We had a fantastic time staying at Shell Cottage. The cottage was exactly as advertised. It is much bigger inside than it looks and we loved the beach theme used inside for decorating. Our pup really enjoyed the large fenced yard, the kitchen was well stocked and the location was perfect for our needs. The hot tub was an amazing addition that we enjoyed daily during our visit! The downstairs front bedroom gets very bright in the morning. Because of this I would recommend adding black out curtains but it did not deter from our stay at all. Overall, this cottage was amazing and we would stay there again during future visits to Chincoteague.

Great location and responsive staff!

We had a great stay over Memorial Day Weekend. The house was as-described and in a perfect location. We could see the ponies from our windows! We did have a bit of trouble with the A/C and refrigerator, but when we reported it to the property manager, they were at the house within 15 minutes and had everything fixed. Would highly recommend staying here!

Adorable decor

We loved the space & seashell decor for this property. We've never seen so many conch shells in one place! We were inspired to search the beach for our own. The space was perfect for our crew. The kids had the upstairs bedrooms and adults had downstairs. The queen beds were a bit too soft for us, but we slept just fine. Description says charcoal grill, but we didn't see it anywhere on the property. There's a fire pit, but we didn't end up using it.
