We loved the location, the house layout, and its amenities. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean. However, as others have reviewed, the condition of the house is a little "shabby". Everything worked OK but the woodwork, the deck (watch out for splinters in bare feet), the outside furniture, etc. are rough. Could use a little update. We would still return because of the positives . . . and the price was right which may reflect the condition. The listing indicated that there is a new "beach" but that's stretching it a little as well.

Comfortable space with exceptional views. Particularly liked that each room had own balcony and view. The heating system was odd, some bedrooms were very hot while others were cool, could not figure it out. Otherwise, everything worked and was comfortable get away for a winter weekend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Belle of the Bay has unmatched wide-open views of Oyster Bay which my family enjoyed over Thanksgiving. I'm not a morning person but woke early every day to see the magnificent sunrises. The house is a little worn, but beds were pretty good and water pressure great (these are my basic must haves) and the furniture clean and pretty comfortable. We were sad the fireplace wasn't working (we knew this when we rented), and there were a few things we could laugh over, but a more persnickety person might not. The fridge rubber seal kept falling off (we reported but couldn't be fixed over Thanksgiving) so we applied tape we found. One shower head was not working in the middle, so the stream of water was only left or right -- one of our family noted he felt like Moses. In the end, we had an amazing week in a good space for family to gather!

very nice view from Belle of the Bay, property has room for plenty of guests, nice quiet location.

Loved the art! Please tell folks beforehand that there is no bathroom in the bedroom over the garage.

Seven family members spent a week on Chincoteague, staying at the Belle of the Bay. It is a large, comfortable and well-stocked beach house that easily accommodated the entire family with room to spare. The many decks and windows afforded constant views of the beautiful bay and marsh grasses of Assateague. It was indeed a quiet and peaceful setting. We could kayak right from the dock. The Assateague beaches are a short drive from the house. We spent every day there, and the week went by all too quickly.
