About this property

As close as you can get to the ocean south of Chincoteague

Please feel free to write if you have questions. Unlike Chincoteague, this is a rural setting - the neighborhood is eight houses along Metompkin Bay. But it's an easy half-hour trip to Chincoteague if you'd rather go to the beach there. Our beach is a 15-minute kayak trip away (there are SIX kayaks included in the renta, paddles, and various size life jacketsl). There are also lot of little creeks in the marsh to explore by kayak. If you have a boat, there's a public boat ramp close by.

Our neighbors often fish in the bay, and surf fishing is great at certain times of year. We have crab traps - the crabbing is pretty good off the dock. If you are birders, there are all sorts of places to go (just ask me)! Onancock (10 minutes away) is where we go for nice restaurants and charming little shops. Lots of other attractions are shown in this listing.

We have decks all over the place - two on the water side and one on the land side, in addition to a screened porch - lovely views in all directions. The house is almost all windows on the water side, to take advantage of these wonderful views. The living room/dining room/kitchen is open plan and on the water side of the house. A bedroom, bath, and second bedroom/TV room are on the road side of the house. The bathroom houses a washer and drier that are hidden behind doors. The master bedroom, (loft) and bath occupy the upstairs, and have an even better view of the marshes, bay, and even a glimpse of the ocean! The bottom floor is a garage, and has a laundry sink and extra refrigerator.

Great getaway
Our family loved our time together at this awesome house. The house was stocked with everything that we could want. We had a great time with the kayaks and fishing off the dock. We can't wait to come back.

Virginia Eastern Shore Jewel
Beautiful, comfortable, well maintained home with spectacular views of the marshes and tidal water of the Virginia Eastern Shore. The peace and quiet of this home is only broken by the gentle sounds of the wind and birds. The sunrises are spectacular. The kitchen is well equipped so bring your own food to cook or take advantage of the fresh local seafood. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway.

Million dollar view
What can we say that others haven't said... If you're an avid birder, love the waterfront and you love the quiet...this is the place to stay. House is well equipped. We will be back...
