We had a delightful stay in Chincoteague! The weather was perfect for swimming and biking and the house exceeded our expectations. It was clean and very well appointed. Management was helpful and very upbeat. We particularly enjoyed learning about the history of Mr. Miles Hancock, decoy carver and market hunter and visited his workshop at the Museum. Ocean, ponies and seafood, who could want anything more!

Loved our stay at this historic Chincoteague cottage. It was lovingly restored and decorated. It had everything we needed including an outdoor shower and screened in porch, where we ate most of our meals. The location was good, very close to Maddox Boulevard, restaurants and souvenir shopping. It was clean and well taken care of. Access to the channel docks would have been nice. My only complaint was the mattresses were terrible. They definitely need to be replaced.

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend staying at the Hancock House. This is what a vacation should be: peace and quiet when you need it, but close enough to the beach and action on Maddox Blvd and Main Street. This lovely house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We’ll be back again!

Peaceful idyll with historical interest
This local decoy maker's cottage has been beautifully restored and is equipped with everything you need to make your stay a happy one. I especially appreciated the well-functioning kitchen with everything to hand to cook a complete meal, not always the case in holiday rentals! Chincoteague and surrounds have a lot to offer nature lovers and your stay is sure to be a relaxing one.

We have stayed at the Hancock every year since it's been available and we love everything about it. Especially this year, with the need to social distance, the screened porch and the two other outside seating areas were perfect. The house is VERY well equipped for your stay and charming in every way.

We decided to rent this cottage at the last moment because in need of diversion and quiet. We found the perfect place. The house is really beautiful, with a nice historical flavor. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the enclosed patio. We definitely are looking forward to the next time we will be able to return to this little gem of a place.

Reviewer Comments:
Hancock House is a lovely historic Chincoteague home that has been lovingly restored to honor the memory of famous decoy carver Miles Hancock (1887-1974). His workshop, formerly on site, now awaits the visitor at the Museum of Chincoteague, where it helps explain the heyday of “market hunting.” Appalling to us today, killing ducks and geese in huge numbers was one way that the local watermen could survive in hard times. For two old friends, this was the perfect place to stay on Chincoteague, with two spacious bedrooms (beds had excellent mattresses), a large outside screened porch(there had been a mosquito explosion in the wake of Hurricane Dorian’s passing), comfortable living room and wonderful well-equipped kitchen and dining room. The half bath upstairs, where the bedrooms are, was a real boon. Nothing is far from anything else on Chincoteague, but this was the first time we had stayed north of the town center, and we liked it very much, would definitely return.

Great little historic home
My family had a great time. The home is so cozy! Lots of little historic facts and artifacts from Mr. Hancock. We loved playing board games on the porch. The redone kitchen has everything you need to cook in and save money. Be mindful when walking up and down the staircase. It’s an old house, so the steps are skinnier. Just like anywhere in Chincoteague, come with gallons of big spray! Overall, would stay here again!

Charming traditional home in quiet area
This is a beautifully restored traditional Chincoteague home in the Deep Hole area of the island, down a short unpaved lane very close to Little Oyster Bay. Formerly the home of famous decoy-maker Miles Hancock (on Hancock Lane), there are many historic photos and country antiques that contribute to the tasteful decoration of the house. We loved the large screened porch with comfortable furniture for morning tea or coffee and a good read, and the kitchen was incredibly well-equipped. We lacked for nothing. The two upstairs bedrooms had very comfortable beds and the half bath upstairs (complementing the full bath and laundry room downstairs) was a great convenience. The living room has very comfortable furniture and lots of literature to help structure a meaningful visit. Overall, there was a sense of peace and tranquility here that we treasured. Only a very short drive/walk/cycle ride from Maddox and downtown, I will definitely return to this special place.

Great vacation
We had a really wonderful week at the Hancock House. The house itself is a charming older home, was perfectly clean and stocked with everything we needed. The property owners live nearby and were friendly too. The house is on a side street very close to Maddox and near everything we needed. Plenty of room for our family of 4 (two adults, two kids).

The best house we have rented in Chincoteague. Lovely, charming, feels like home. The screened porch is amazing. The outside shower extra comfortable. Every little thing is perfect and full of historic character, yet practical. The kitchen and bathroom are updated and felt luxurious for a summer rental. will be staying at Hancock House many more times hopefuly!
