Haven’t been to Chincoteague in probably 20years, this was a great property to return to the island. The pool was a great perk, especially with the kids. The house was clean and well organized, we would definitely come back.

Great Location!

The location of Seaside Serenity was perfect! It was far enough away from the tourist spots to be quiet but close enough for a short drive to local attractions. The house was beautifully appointed and the hostess was so helpful and gracious!

The best vacation house!

We love staying here. The house is clean and well stocked with almost everything humans and pets could need. Quiet neighborhood and close to everything. We love the screened in porch and enjoyed some figs off the tree when we were lucky enough to beat the birds to them. Looking forward to our next stay!

Perfect Stay!

We loved everything about our stay here. The home was clean, spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed. It was so organized and that made everything easy to locate. Instructions were very thorough. We were within a 5-10 minute drive to everything we wanted to do on the island. Our 6 year old granddaughter was in heaven with all the toys, games the house had. I didn’t even unpack the items we brought from home for her. We especially enjoyed the outdoor areas, the screened porch and dock. Thank you for a fabulous stay! :)

Our Vacation

The property is beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped. The bottom floor has a very nice open kitchen and living room area. There are plenty of bathrooms, which makes it very comfortable. Every room has its TV. The house also includes an attached 4-season porch, which is lovely and adds space to the house. We enjoyed cooking and using high-quality equipment. We loved the automatic salt and pepper. One does have to drive to the beach about 5 miles. There is a small community pool. It would be nice if it were bigger, but we enjoyed going. I highly recommend renting the property. The host is very communicative and has written information regarding the internet, trash removal, etc. Everything in the house is labeled and well-kept. There is a 60.00 charge for bathroom towels and linens. So, if you do not want to pay extra, I suggest you bring your own.

Too many extras

The property is lovely and very well furnished. For the price we expected bed and bath linens to be included. Last minute directions that they were available for "rental" was unacceptable. We paid top dollar, in the off season, and expected linens to be included. M. Buck

Excellent Property and Host

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience renting this property during the 2022 holiday season. The property itself was perfectly clean and had an extremely well-stocked kitchen. Crockpots, crab mallets, waffle makers, you name it. The place is also extremely well-organized with labels everywhere for pretty much whatever you could possibly need. There are tons of games and beach supplies for anyone going during the summer months. I’d say it’s about a five/ten minute drive onto Assateague Island, fifteen minutes to a beach. The host was fantastic. She was flexible and generous when an unexpected problem arose with our scheduled dates at the last minute. Genuinely, the host was A+++. My girlfriend and I have been renting vacation properties for short getaways for just the two of us and her dog twice a year for a few years now. In all, this was definitely the best rental experience we’ve had so far!

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Fuller

Host profile image
A lifelong Chincoteague vacationer, I first visited the island because my mother – an educator for Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools – fell in love with “Misty of Chincoteague” after assigning the book to her reading class. At the time, a fellow teacher had a vacation home on the island, and my mother was enthralled with the idea of visiting with her 4-year-old daughter (me). Our first vacation here was enchanting; I’m sure she never imagined she’d develop such affection for this island community.

After annual vacations and eventually retirement, my mother fulfilled her life-long dream of owning a Chincoteague vacation home. Through 2016, she cherished her time at Seaside Serenity and shared her love of the island by inviting friends and family, befriending fellow vacationers and residents, and throwing marvelous parties and get-togethers. An amazing hostess, she loved to entertain, and her parties were legendary.

I wanted to continue my mother’s legacy of offering a welcoming and comfortable home-away-from-home, so I hope you and your guests find Chincoteague as peaceful and charming as I and that your stay in Seaside Serenity leaves you restored, rejuvenated, and wanting to return to the island year after year! —Katy

What makes this property unique

Tucked away in a private community, Seaside Serenity is a peaceful getaway with just a quick walk to spectacular bayside sunsets, carnival grounds, and downtown Chincoteague. There is absolutely nothing like relaxing at the pool after a day on the beach or pony-watching on Assateague. With outdoor amenities including a fishing dock overlooking the canal, Seaside Serenity will surely leave vacationers rested and relaxed.
