~IMPORTANT INFORMATION~
LINENS AND TOWELS ARE NOT INCLUDED. However, we can provide these items for you at a cost of $17 per bed.

Guests will need a way to transport kayaks. | Our personal beach gear and bikes are available for your use but these items are not professionally maintained. For this reason we can not guarantee all items will be in usable condition.
~ABOUT THE LOCATION~
One of the highlights of our beach house is that it is within walking distance to the Historic Downtown of Chincoteague! Here you will find restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, coffee shops, the waterfront park, a fishing pier and all that Main St has to offer! We are located off of the intersection of Clark St and Main St. Three blocks north you will find Chincoteague's other main road, Maddox Blvd, which will take you right out to the beach!
Getting around is extremely convenient from our location. Our close proximity to downtown eliminates any parking hassles! In addition to being within walking distance to Chincoteague's in-town activities, any part of the island is just a bike ride away! We have parking for one dedicated to our building and free street parking facing east on Clark St.

About the host
Hosted by Kaylea Burton/Robert Burton

Hello! I'm Kaylea! My family and I have taken on the adventure of hosting stays at our favorite place on earth, Chincoteague Island! Our family has been coming down to the island from Pennsylvania since my diaper days, many years ago. My dad stumbled across the island while striper fishing, which used to take place in Jersey, and the rest is history. He never returned to Jersey. The moments that we've shared together and wonders we've experienced here are irreplaceable. We share a special love of the ocean, so much so that we brought it back to Harrisburg with us and opened our own nautical gallery. We've had nothing short of amazing adventures here, and still do, but wanted to take part in giving others these same opportunities.
Why they chose this property
One of the reasons we fell in love with this property is its location! Being in the Historic Downtown of Chincoteague means you can walk right out the door and enjoy everything Main Street has to offer at your convenience! Being in the heart of the island town is especially appealing on Chincoteague considering you can walk or bike to just about any part of the island, not to mention the elimination of parking hassles!
What makes this property unique
We also take pride in our (no extra fee) amenities! As a family of 4 ourselves, we understand the struggle of getting bikes and kayaks on the island, whether that means transportation from Pennsylvania or saving up to rent them once on the island. We want others to enjoy these activities when they stay with us! Our other highlights include an outdoor shower, outdoor dining area, charcoal grill, screened-in porch with a swing, basic beach supplies, in-unit laundry, clothing line, and private parking for one. We strive to offer a place where you and your family can have a phenomenal vacation and hope that by providing these amenities, we've done our part in doing just that!
