Perfect Vacation Rental

Beautifully designed. Everything you could want. Loved the stove. Good location for acess to the park. You'll love this place. It was better than picturedI hesitate to suggest because it was just a perfect stay but a bar in the shower for old folks would be great.

Ponies, Relaxation and Charm

Our family’s getaway to Chincoteague was nothing short of magical. Watching the wild ponies roam freely was wonderful, a sight that never loses its charm no matter how many times we visit. We soaked up the sun on the sandy shores, explored winding nature trails, and embraced every moment of the island’s serene beauty. But some of the best memories were made right at The Starfish - swaying on the porch swing with morning coffee in hand, and sharing laughs and stories with our son on the deck in the afternoon breeze.This was our 3rd stay at The Starfish, and it certainly won’t be our last. Clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated, it provided the ideal setting for a strip filled with relaxation and joy.We left with hearts full and smiles wide!

Great Stay in Chincoteague

We had an amazing week in Chincoteague staying at The Starfish! The house was the perfect size for the four of us. Everything was clean and the host provided a few extras - Bluetooth speaker, boogie boards, and lots of board games. Will definitely stay at the Starfish when we return to Chincoteague!

The “Starfish House” sparkles!

This house is the essence of well-executed simple design, inside and out! From location, architecture, landscaping and interior design, to amenities, necessities and owner support, the Starfish House was a delightful vacation home for us to enjoy charming Chincoteague and Assateague.

Beautiful Cottage in Great Location!

My family and I really enjoyed staying here. It was beautiful and clean. The hosts were also great communicators. I have used VRBO to rent many times at different price points. This place is in my top three. I would definitely return for a longer stay. Thank you!

Beautiful house, close to everything

We loved this house in Chincoteague! The rooms were perfect for our family of 4 and the screened porch was a great place to hang out bug-free at night. The quiet streets were safe for the kids to bike on and the large yard and yard games (corn hole, ladder golf) were fun for everyone. Would love to come back!

Super relaxing...

Cute cottage, great spaces and a wonderful kitchen. Great spot with amazing little details and calming color scheme - relax and read a book or watch a show, sit on the front swing and listen to the birds. Lots of option - plan to come back soon.

Amazing time at Starfish

Everything was fantastic. The house is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated. Stocked with nice cookware and everything you need to get your vacation started right. Great location away from the main road, but everything you need is still close. Easy drive in the park to get to the beach and all the sights. Great communication with the hosts for anything we needed. Would recommend this home to anyone without hesitation.

Wonderful Stay!!

A wonderful place in an ideal location—even better than advertised. This delightful cottage has been thoroughly modernized and tastefully decorated. The porches are broad and cool even in the heat of the day, and the kitchen beautifully designed and equipped. Whether you’re pony-watching, beach-going, wilderness hiking or just getting away from it all, this is the perfect place to stay. We especially appreciated the host’s flexibility in modifying our initial reservation.

A tranquil stay, better than a home away from home

The cottage is completely updated and decorated beautifully and as pictured. The kitchen is well appointed with thought put into to every detail of what you will need for your stay. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and being less than two miles away from the state park, with nice trails and beautiful beaches made it a perfect getaway.
