We enjoyed our stay despite unseasonably cold temperatures and mostly rainy weekend. One of the selling points for this property for me was the screened in porch. And it was overall very nice, except it was very dirty. While inside of the property was very clean the porch had a lot left to desire. We had to constantly remind the kids to watch what they touched or where they stepped/sat as certain parts of the patio were covered in layers of pollen and dust.

Hi Aga! Thanks so much for choosing to stay with Seaside. We do our best to keep up with the pollen for all of our properties, but it can be difficult at times during the Spring. We'll be sure to mention this to our cleaners to ensure they check this area again before they depart! We hope you enjoyed your time on the island, and would love to have you back anytime!
Great location loved the screened in porch for late nights relaxing and listening to the rain. Even had quick service when our toilet leaked slightly. Other than that had a great stay!

This house is a perfect getaway for a couple, a family with children, or up to 4 adults. Perfect amenities, cute seaside decor, and an unbeatable location. The screened back porch is the key feature for hangouts and games. Large eat in kitchen is convenient and homey. Would absolutely stay again!

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, Justin! We're so glad you enjoyed Happy Hideaway's location, and were able to make use of that back porch with your loved ones. We'd love to have you back anytime!
This property was well stocked with tons of kid friendly amenities and everything a family would need for a week long vacation. Our kids never even turned the tv on they had plenty of toys and books and games. We cooked 3 meals a day for 6 of the days and did not need anything but ingredients. Great place to stay!

Property was the perfect size for our group. Very clean. Loved the screened in back porch. It was very close to Assateague and local shops. We had a great time!

Thanks so much for the kind review, Kristin! That screened in porch is one of the reasons Happy Hideaway is so popular. We hope to have you back soon!
We really enjoyed this “happy hideaway.” It was as described and the perfect size for our family of 5. The kids toys were a huge plus, the beds were comfortable, and the covered patio was lovely. The hosts let us reschedule when our initial trip was soured by a tropical storm. Check in and out was easy. We would definitely stay again!

A group of five girlfriends stayed at this lovely house together for a 40th birthday celebration! Our first trip together in years since we all had children it was the perfect getaway with an amazing screened in porch for coffee, dinner and games. Super clean facility, well stocked and great communication from the property managers. We will absolutely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and they even had toys available for the kids. The room with the bunk beds did get really cold at night so if you go during the colder months you might want to pack warmer pjs or extra blankets. Overall the house was really nice and the neighborhood was very peaceful.

The property was in the perfect location. Close to everything and on a quiet street. The property was clean and adorable. After a day of exploring, an evening of comfort was highly desired. A gas grill and comfortable furniture would have put this property over the top.

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, Tina! We're so glad you enjoyed your visit, and will mention your comments regarding the possibility of adding a gas grill and new furniture to the owners! We hope to have you back soon!
My little family and I loved our time here! The home is in such a great location and is very well arranged. I loved the huge kitchen that had so much counter space. The screened in porch on the back was so charming and comfortable we spent every evening out there. The location again was so perfect as it was only a 10 minute or so drive to the beautiful beach and within walking distance of shops and the water park. I would only suggest you bring bug spray as the mosquitos were ready to go! 10/10, we will be back!

Visited Chincoteague with my family. The location was perfect - super close to the national wildlife refuge and other small shops. Place was overall clean and nicely furnished - the patio furniture could use a cleaning. The closets and living room cabinets were stocked with children’s books and toys. Remember to bring your own toiletries (shampoo/soap/etc).

My husband and I have been coming to Chincoteague for the seafood festival for the last 10 years. This is the first year with our 2 young kids and we are so happy we found this house. It was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed including plenty of toys and books for the kids. The screened in porch offered relaxing nights playing card games and enjoying the beautiful weather we had. We plan to book this house again next year!

The property was very beautiful with a great location. Be aware that toiletries are not provided except for a starter supply and linens must be rented. (We brought our own linens, dish towels, paper towels, trash bags, etc., because we didn't know how much the starter supply would contain), but the property itself is very nice!

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, Joshua! So glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to Happy Hideaway! It's really hard to beat that Piney Island location!
The house was lovely and nicely furnished and supplied. The wooded location was very pleasant and we enjoyed spending time on the screened porch. It was a short walk to a bike rental place. One possible problem was that we had some bug bites which seemed to have been gotten in the house, but I think they inspected after we left. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Denise, Thank you for the review, We are happy you enjoyed the home and that screened in porch! They probably were mosquitoes bites. Yes, we do inspect after each visit. We hope you visit us again. Best, Lynn with Seaside Vacations
Fully stocked and cute vacation home.
Books and toys for the kids and wine glasses for the adults. Games for the whole family. Updated showers have great water pressure and the beds are comfy. Well decorated with books, homey decor, and cute porch lights. Property Managers were very responsive to our communication. Nothing major and they were still on top of it.
Quiet neighborhood. Saw some deer and squirrels. And those lovely mosquitoes.
Hope to be back!

Holly, Thank you for the review. We love your description and glad you enjoyed your visit. We love being a part of family vacation memories. We hope you come back soon! Best, Lynn with Seaside Vacations
Small little cottage with a very nice screened in patio that we used extensively. On our first morning we awoke to find deer grazing in the backyard and watched them while we had our coffee. The screens door itself needed fixing but the house was nicely updated recently.
Good location in a "residential" area (mostly other rentals with some locals) that you could walk to the bike rental from. Close to the kids water park and a few food places but a car or bike is definitely recommended for getting around.
Paying extra for linens is hassle but not so expensive to not be worth your time. Bring laundry detergent and dishwasher tabs but otherwise the home is well stocked.

Beautiful home and within walking distance to activities, biking on the main streets and restaurants. Check in process and communication was seamless. We had 5 of us, my mom, myself and three adult kids ages 21, 20 and 16. The bunk beds were perfect for them as it is difficult to find comfortable sleeping arrangements for us with out paying a fortune. House was spotless and smelled fresh and was very impressed with the new decor. Washer and dryer provided. We had breakfast and sat on the screened porch to relax while we thought about what we were going to do that day. Ended up at the beach 2 days in a row, was able to enjoy the beach as the waters were comfortable and blue, setting is absolutely beautiful and my adult kids had fun gathering seashells and relaxing in the sun. We didn't get a chance to go crabbing as planned but hopefully next time soon and will definitely look for this home again or others provided by seaside vacations. Linens provided for extra fee but they are worth it for the price of the stay.
