Great location on the creek and close to town

Beautiful property, with a large dock on a creek. Kids enjoyed crabbing and fishing. Actually caught a stingray and other fish. Lots and lots of crabs in the pots.Brought a 23 foot sailboat launched it from the Onco town wharf and sailed it all week. Went out into the Chesapeake.The house was huge with lots of interesting nooks and crannies. Fully stocked kitchen. AC worked great, which was important in this heat wave.

Home was easy to book and check in. The owner is fantastic and keeps the home in great condition. We had access to water activities and shopping. The central location on the Shore makes it an ideal vacation spot.

Vacation Serenity

This home is warm and welcoming! The setting is so peaceful and serene. A great layout for our extended family. Grandparents, kids & grandkiddos. Lots of space to spread out and then gather in the huge eat-in kitchen for meals. Great area for kayaks, canoes, crabbing off the dock. We brought a large floating raft to stay above the jellies. About a 40 minute drive to beautiful Cape Charles (free public beach).

Great House

This is a great property. The house was very clean. It rests in a quite neighborhood. It was more than large enough for our large group. The backyard grass was cut and a great place for the kids to play. Also a great place to kayak. The roads are very low traffic making a bike ride into town very enjoyable. Greg was easy to work with, and checked to see if everything was acceptable when we arrived. A very nice overall experience.

Amazing stay!

This place was amazing! We enjoyed going out to a local restaurant that was right on the water and had a band playing. The locals were cool and there were a good amount of people on vacation there. It was the perfect vibe. The house was about 15 minutes from the closest stores and Walmart, but was tucked away and very private. It was quiet and peaceful. We went swimming in the water, brought some tubes and tied them to the dock and floated around. It was like our own little swimming hole. There were some jelly fish during this time of the year, but if they brushed up against you, it didn’t hurt. The house had awesome decorations and had a lot of stuff in the house we could use. Greggory was an amazing host and was available whenever he was needed. Everyone in my group said they would want to come back and we will. Thank you Greggory for being an awesome host!

Family tribute trip

Our family came to Onancock to spend the weekend because of the passing of our much loved Dad and my Sister Robin Rich-Coates. The College Eastern Shore Community College dedicated a sweet magnolia tree and several plaques in her honor. She was a professor in the sciences for decades and touched many young people’s lives mentoring and encouraging them to go forward with their degrees at 4 year colleges. We witnessed a community of people very unique on the Eastern Shore.. caring and loving and genuine. We also had a family time to spread our loved ones ashes in the sands at the Chincoteague oceans. The home was beautiful welcoming and well suited for family to enjoy time outdoors fishing and crabbing off the dock and we had a great time. It is well appointed and comfortable and clean! Greg our host was most helpful making sure to help with all arrangements and needs. Our pup Winnie also had a great time exploring the beautiful grounds and the marshy shore and water.

Great house

The house is beautiful! Very clean, plenty of space for a big group, a very well equipped kitchen and a great big table for big group meals. The lot is beautiful. Nice flat yard for playing games and the flowers/shrubs were so pretty! The location is secluded, surrounded by lots of farmland. Neighbors on both sides, but plenty of privacy. Just a 15 minute drive to walmart/grocery/pharmacy stores. The downtown area of Onancock is cute, but definitely not walkable from the house. Greg was very helpful and so easy to work with. He was attentive without being annoying. Definitely a pleasure to work with him. Our only complaint is the jellyfish in the water. Obviously, nothing Greg can do about it, but it did prevent us from swimming (after a few stings, we gave up). There are no nearby (less than 45 minutes) beaches, so we were out of luck with swimming but were still able to kayak and fish. All in all and great stay!

NOT what it appears to be

The pictures of this property are deceiving. There is no sandy beach area. The dock is beyond damaged and cannot be assessed. The house has a strong mildew smell. The air conditioning does not work well. We brought our 12 year old dog to swim which she couldn't because there was no assess to the water like the pictures showed. The property has poison ivy all over, which we wound up getting. The TV did not work upstairs. The house is not nearly as large as it states.

Paradise Indeed

What an amazing property. We have stayed in may different areas on the Eastern shore over the years and many different houses/rentals - this is the best by far. The house has been extensively renovated and probably occupies 4 times the original house when built (ok, it's just a guess) - but this is great, there are bedrooms everywhere. I can't remember how many it is advertised to sleep, but you could fit 20 in this house and still rattle around. Arrival was easy, and Greg made everything effortless - he was professional and a pleasure to deal with. He also gave us some great tips for local restaurants, antique stores and other fun stuff to do and explore. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need - each bathroom had lots of towels, soap and the like. The back yard has a great BBQ and backs onto a dock where you can moor your boat (launched from a slipway 5 mins away). All in all, we had a great relaxing stay there and will go back again in a heartbeat. As always, the problem of leaving such a great review is that it will be booked up next time we want to go back there! In sum, highly recommend. We had a great 5 days.

Wonderful location & service

Service: ***** Greg was a wonderful host. Very communicative, offered lots of great suggestions & guidance for getting the most out of our stay. He even told us what bait to use to catch the most fish! Property/Location: ***** The property is gorgeous. Secluded with a huge backyard for games, and the private dock was great for fishing, crabbing, and swimming. We caught enough crab for dinner one night! We rented kayaks & paddled to Onancock for lunch & walking around. Chincoteague is less than an hour away if you want to do an ocean-side beach day. The country roads are nice & flat and of course low-traffic, great for biking around. House: *** The house is well-appointed and offers plenty of room, but definitely has some wear, much of it apparently from the high humidity on the property (it's right on the water, so that's to be expected). Some of the doors were warped & hard to open/close, the main bedroom area was stuffy and the entire house had a bit of a musty odor. It didn't really bother us but could cause trouble for people who are sensitive. Also, this is not a pure rental; someone clearly lives there when it's not rented out, as there were clothes & personal effects in the closets & drawers. Not a problem, really, but many VRBOs are pure rentals these days so just be aware. Given the price and the condition of the house, and in comparison to other properties at which we've stayed, we can't give the house itself more than 3 stars. But the service & location made up for whatever quibbles we had. Oh, and note that there is NOT a hot tub -- it is a two-person soaking tub in the master bath. It's noted on the web version of the listing but not in the app, so I missed the clarification, much to my family's disappointment.

Beautiful Property with a Great Water View

Very cozy house with lots of bedrooms and common areas for chatting with family. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious kitchen and family room, along with the beautiful view of the water. The sunset was lovely out on the dock! Greg, the property manager, is extremely responsive and accommodating. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend this home for gatherings with friends and family in a home-like setting.

Amazing place. Stunning.

The perfect getaway. The house is stunning, from the landscape architecture and beautiful hydrangeas. The inside of the house is massive! Perfect for relaxing and entertaining. From grilling and relaxing on the porch overlooking the water to fishing or doing cannon balls off of the dock. We all had a ball, especially the kids and dogs alike! Greg was an excellent host and gave us great tips from restaurants to even finding local Peelers for fishing. Onancock is a magical little secret. We will be back for sure!!

August Family Trip

The property is secluded on a small creek that is a short drive outside of Onancock, surrounded by farms and country roads. The home is perfectly suitable for up to 5 couples and a few children. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen/dining/family room layout is great for entertaining. The back porch and backyard have a wonderful view of the creek. Sunsets and sunrises are peaceful and quiet over the water. Great spot for family and friends to enjoy!

Adult Oyster Roast Get Away Weekend

House was perfect. Easily slept 9 and was spacious enough that we were not on top of each other at all times. Minutes from Onancock and only a few more minutes to Rt. 13. The House gives you easy access to the entire Eastern Shore from a great home base. The house layout allowed the 5 of us that were in one group to be in one part of the house and everyone else was in the downstairs bedroom wing. We could all gather on the deck, kitchen, and living room yet still have our own space. Highly recommend going to the Island House Restaurant in Wachapreague.

Great quiet location!

We visited here for a week. House has a great set up for a large family gathering with the bedroom layout. It is well equipped in the kitchen as well. The location on the creek is secluded and quiet. We docked our boat, kayaked, fished and caught crabs from the dock on the property. Being pet friendly also meant our lab was able to come with us on vacation. He enjoyed swimming everyday as well. Highly recommend this house.
