FISHING - The majority of new folks who move to “Greenback”(as the natives call it) do so because of the excellent fishing in the Atlantic Ocean and the Chincoteague and Chesapeake bays. You can drop a line from any of the landings to the north or to the south of Greenbackville along the Chincoteague Bay for drum, rock, flounder, sand shark, etc. in season. And surf fishing in the ocean is excellent. Landings all along the shoreline provide excellent opportunities for crabbing, and the sandy bottom in the shallow parts of bay is a fun place to clam. Questions about fishing or need rigging? Call Seahawk Fish Center on Route 13, just south of Pocomoke.- Everything for fishing fun including guided fishing trips.

Chincoteague getaway
The house was a great location right by the bay with kayaks and bicycles to use. Convenient to both Chincoteague, a half hour drive to the refuge and Assoteague within 45 minutes. Watched the Wallops rocket launch from the balcony. House was very clean and the renovation was well done down to the detail. The kitchen facilitated everything we needed for daily meals. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. A great experience for our whole family.

Perfectly Peaceful
We are so happy that we discovered this gem. We got to witness a rocket launch from wallops right from the top deck. Everyone was so friendly, and we even caught crabs off the dock. Would highly recommend. Property is exactly as described.

Great house in a great location
The whole family enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable home. It’s in a great location to explore the many beaches and other interesting spots nearby. We also enjoyed exploring the immediate neighborhood on the bikes that come with the rental. I would definitely stay here again!

What a beautiful place
What a wonderful little getaway. It was what I expected and more. Nice and quiet the kids really enjoyed being able to walk down to the docks and catch and enjoy all the local wildlife. And access to bikes for them was a plus too. It rained a couple days while we were down but i between storms the kids were still able to find things to do close to home. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Had a little problem with the internet in the beginning but the owners were very kind and helpful and got it all squared away quickly. I am definitely looking into coming back next year. Ty for making our stay such a wonderful experience!

Great waterfront location in a quiet, relaxing area
We really enjoyed our stay here. We kayaked, visited Chincoteague and OC, and handlined for crabs. The home is walking distance from a marina where we watched commercial crabbers unload their hauls in the morning. There's a nice seafood restaurant right next to the marina that has really good softshell crab sandwiches. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and the house was clean and tidy.
