'Whimsical Cottage' is a perfect description of this house, a delightful mix of historical feel with modern updates, bay views and great eclectic decor. So blessed with gorgeous weather, it was a great house for me to unplug.

What a wonderful property for families and friends to get together. There are plenty of things to do here plenty of things to do nearby. Easy check in and check out, the nearby private beach was small but lovely, the home had just about everything you could want and plenty of spaces for people to spread out. We would have taken advantage of the kayaks and bicycles had we encountered better weather, but there was still enough to do here and nearby for everyone in our group. Thanks again for being such great hosts!

This is a beautiful house with spacious rooms and classic furniture (and the host was quick to answer questions). It has a real nice kitchen, washer & dryer, and two bathrooms, so the six of us were quite comfortable. Totally safe, it feels kind of like staying at your grandmother’s house. I loved just sitting on the shady front porch with the breeze coming off the water, looking at the boats in the marina. We had a great vacation with this house as our base. We drove around the peninsula looking at historic buildings (identified in a book on the coffee table), eating at a seafood restaurant, and seeing the historic town of Cape Charles and its beach. We took the Joyce Marie II out to Tangier Island. We went to the town of Chincoteague and Assateague National Seashore. And we just enjoyed each other’s camaraderie in a beautiful setting.

Vintage Beach Cottage by the Bay

Spacious well-equipped cottage including the kitchen. You will find everything that you need for your stay was provided. The owner (Colette) was readily available and very helpful during our stay. Our grandchildren loved the beach and were really excited to catch blue crabs. The neighbors are very friendly and made us feel right at home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the East Point Farmhouse. The house was very clean and well equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay and is beautifully decorated with so many little "details" and a lot of nostalgia. We just loved it! We enjoyed exploring Onancock and the surrounding area and sampled some very good restaurants close by. Communication with our host was great! Thank you, Colette!

Very charming, very comfortable and well equipped. The owner has thought of everything to make our stay easy. A very quiet neighborhood across from marina. A good base to explore the area -- art galleries in Oconocock, Chincoteague and Cape Charles. Wonderful!

Wonderful Getaway!

My husband and I loved our stay at the Whimsical Cottage. We enjoyed the eclectic touches in each room. The view from the porch of the marina/water was beautiful. The beach was around the corner, an easy walk or bike ride. Again, beautiful views. The hosts are so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to welcome us. The town is small and cute. We enjoyed walking around. Highly recommend this cottage. We hope to be back (and try their other rental as well). Only minus is the iffy internet at times, but who really needs the internet when you are surrounded by such natural beauty!!

Nicely renovated Eastern Shore Farmhouse

Colette was a great host. She provided us with a wealth of information on the area including eating and drinking establishments and things to do. The house is in the waterfront community of East Point convenient to Onancock. Easy day trips to Cape Charles and Wachepreague. The house overlooks the community marina with great views. There is also a community beach with beautiful sunsets. I would certainly recommend the house for a stay on the ESV.

Beautiful

Onancock is beautiful and very relaxing.. we slept better than we have in a long time. The clean, pure air alone is a relief. The house is a gem. City people needing a break can experience the stars again, and yes clean air, plus quiet but for sounds of the surf. Nice, decent, down to earth people in Accomack County will look you in the eye and say “good morning”. Took me off guard at first. Onancock and Accomack county, I hesitate to even write this review because I don’t want the rest of the world to see it and come and spoil you. But if you want to breathe clean air, listen to nothing but surf, stay in a comfy house, get to know the stars again and be amongst people who look each other in the eye and say “good morning”, this is the place to be

Home away from home

This home is so fun to stay at. Beautiful on inside and out and so much to keep everyone entertained. This is definitely a place to relax and enjoy nature! We had a great time riding bikes in the area, crabbing, playing games that the house provides, relaxing on screened porch watching the boats come in and out, going to the areas private beach to enjoy sunset, and spending time in the quaint town of Onancock. The owner was so kind to send us information on activities going on in town and communicating everything we needed to know and responding quickly to questions. I would highly recommend a stay in this home!! We would definitely come back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Colette Devine

Host profile image
I am originally from Northern California. I have been a host since 2019, and enjoy sharing my house with guests who like to relax, or enjoy the outdoors with the wonderful nature that the eastern shore has to offer. Please reach out if you have any questions about the house, or the eastern shore.

Why they chose this property

I enjoy the ease of walking/biking the neighborhood during the day. It is friendly, and has a campground feel to the neighborhood. Enjoy watching the stars, rocket launches from the house. Once you get in, you want to relax and enjoy the area.

What makes this property unique

We want your family and friends to enjoy their time together in our home. We know you might spend your time at the beach, but we also encourage you to feel comfortable when you are in our home and community. Let us know if you have any questions during your stay! Enjoy the local watermen as they depart and arrive in the Russell Marina, which is directly across from the house. We also have a small community beach to relax with the family. Our property is easy to take strolls around the neighborhood, enjoy a bike ride, or take the kayaks on the water and enjoy the sunshine. Feel free to bring your fishing poles out on the kayaks to catch some local fish. We have great sunrises and sunsets to enjoy as well.
