We loved the house and the location! Very quiet in the morning having coffee on the back deck.
5.0 / 5.0
Ellen's home was perfect! I took my daughter, son-in-law, and 7 year old grandson and the layout of the home was perfect! I had the master with master bath, and they had the other two bedrooms with bath. There was plenty of room to spend time together and also apart. The couch in the living room was very comfy if one needed to sleep there and there also a futon in the entry room.
The kitchen has everything you need, including cooking oil, salt, pepper, and other seasonings. Appliances were new and there were also a great blender and numerous coffee makers (keurig, regular, etc.) I loved the pots and pans so much, I bought myself a set when I got back home.
Comforters and blankets are provided but you need to bring your own sheets and towels. (don't forget a kitchen towel if you don't want to use paper towels all the time). There is a Family Dollar just a few minutes away to pick up things you may need.
The location was perfect as well. Tucked away so you didn't feel like you were in tourist-land, but so close to everything!
Ellen was very responsive and helpful as well. I would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

We had a wonderful stay!!!! From the communication with the host to the comfort of the home, it was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space yet be together. I have absolutely NO complaints!

We have a very good time in this house. It’s near the bridge to the beach, in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The only problems were before we arrived. The owner sent an additional contract for cleaning and a security deposit a few days before we left for the vacation, which said that it was due weeks ahead of time. That was a bit of a surprise. I remind guests to bring not only sheets but towels, dish towels, and dish cloths, as well as trash bags, paper towels, and toilet paper.

My family stayed at the Sandpiper House in Chincoteague. We've visited the island many times, but this was the first stay at Sandpiper. We have three teenage daughters and everyone had plenty of space. The beds are new and comfortable, the A/C worked amazingly well given the intense heat and humidity, the shower water pressure was wonderful, and the closet and dresser space plentiful. One thing I really appreciated was the well appointed kitchen, which is often a struggle in vacation rentals. Plenty of parking, perfect location, private, and VERY close to the beach access road. My only comment about the house was that it would be wonderful to have had a washer and dryer. It was not in the listing that a W/D was an amenity, I just assumed it was - my fault, and I didn't pack accordingly. But that would make the house perfect. Our hostess was wonderful, responsive and kind, even when I accidentally broke a lamp while cleaning. We hope to visit Sandpiper again. We loved it.

We had a wonderful time in Chincoteague and very much enjoyed this home away from home. The decor is coastal and very nicely done. The beds! I was so relieved the beds were comfortable. Location worked out well for us, as it is right between Chincoteague “proper” and the wildlife refuge. Very wooded and private feeling. We would return 🙂

Chincoteague Family Reunion
Sandpiper House was a great base for a wonderful vacation with our children and grandchildren. My husband and I shared the house with my daughter's family of 4, while my two sons and their families stayed at another property on the next block. The bedroom layout at Sandpiper House gave both families their own space, and the den was a nice hang-out for the kids. We really appreciated the ample storage in the bedrooms and bathrooms so we could unpack and get comfortable.
The spacious living/dining rooms, well-appointed kitchen, and huge dining table made it easy to gather for a few special meals with my sons' families. I think we would have enjoyed the deck had we visited when there were fewer mosquitoes, but the house was so bright and airy that we didn't feel we'd missed out. The pine trees surrounding the house added atmosphere and privacy, even giving cover for visiting wildlife.
Ellen was so easy to work with and quick to respond whenever I had a question. Check-in was easy, although we would have appreciated either a second key or a keypad entry. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the house that made our stay a real pleasure. I'd be happy to stay there again!

Great getaway at Sandpiper House
We spent four nights at The Sandpiper House over Spring Break. It was truly lovely and relaxing. The location of the neighborhood is ideal. It is just a short drive/walk/bike ride to the wildlife refuge.
The house was clean and bright and surprisingly roomy. We enjoyed the back deck and back yard as we were lucky to have excellent weather. The house is not right on the water, but you can view the water from the deck between the trees, at least in April. I'm not sure if the trees would obscure the view in Summertime.
The kitchen was well stocked.
Check-in and check-out was a breeze.

Nice stay overall
Perfect except that without a washer and dryer we had some trying times when the grandkids decided to run into the ocean with their clothes on! Wet salty, sandy clothes that didn't dry outside and had to be taken to the nearest laundry which is not close!

2021 Chincoteague Vacation
We enjoyed our short vacation at Chincoteague. The property was comfortable and met all our needs. It is close to Assateague and is in a nice, quiet area. We would stay here again if we get back to the area.

We have always loved Chincoteague!
The house is very spacious for a fairly large family. The den works great as an extra bedroom. The neighborhood is lovely; doesn't feel anything like a "resort"! The deck is nice for sitting out in nice weather, and for listening to the birds in the marsh. One suggestion: there should be a light directly above the kitchen sink.

Comfortable stay, but less than expected
Our family of 5 enjoyed our 4-night stay. Assateague was a wonderful place to vacation with kids, even in the off-season. The kitchen was well-equipped, we appreciated the charcoal grill and beach toys, and we slept well. The listing cited a fireplace that the owner told us we could not use after we arrived. The listing also advertised a water view that is really a tiny gap between houses. The owner did not tell us about construction underway at the house next door, and we never were able to access movies via our Netflix or Amazon accounts.

Quirky and wonderful
My senior Mom and I had a wonderful shirt stay at this house during the off season. It was the perfect base for our long-time dreams of pony-watching (Captain Dan is the best).
The house had a neat, quirky layout and all of the furniture was incredibly comfortable. Some things were a bit worn, but clearly loved and everything was very clean. While I didn’t have many interactions with Ellen, she was always kind and pointed us towards some neat local spots (the Island Creamery is, indeed, very tasty). The book full of advice and pamphlets was much appreciated.
Even though there were only two of us, I could see this house being a blast for a larger group! There was lots of space and again, it was so comfortable.
Thank you!

Wonderful family vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation at this property over our children’s spring break. We worked remotely for part of the week, and utilized the WiFi while the large windows and patio doors were open to hear the water between the islands and the neighborhood and sea birds, and so that we could watch our children playin the yard or on the back deck. The house is in a quiet wooded neighborhood on Piney Island that’s just a quick walk or bike ride to the rest of town or to the reserve on Assateague Island. Our two children are both under 12, and were able to ride miles each day all over both islands. The people were all kind and respectful of bikes and families, and we felt safe wherever we went. We were able to see wild ponies, cranes, bunnies, and even a bald eagle on the reserve, and then bike to get sea food and ice cream. We biked another morning to get coffee and donuts, but the rest of the time we utilized the coffeemaker and kitchen, which was well equipped and comfortable for a family that mostly cooks from scratch and at home. The cozy floor plan centering around the dining and main living room meant that we had open spaces to easily spend lots of family time together but also space for the kids to find places for time to themselves. All the furniture was modern and comfortable at the same time, and I slept better on the mattress than I do at home. We got a later than expected start to our travels, but were easily able to arrive late at night because there were motion sensor lights on the porch and the key is located in a lock box on the property. Ellen was so easy to work with, informative, and responsive via the app messenger service, and has a whole binder full of local information at the property. There were few people on the beach and on the trails on the reserve, and we felt very comfortable letting the kids have space to run and play without worry of being too close to others. The beach parking lot is between the beach and a bay, so we were able to look for seashells one one side and watch the snails in the bay on the other side - perfect for littles who like to explore and for parents who like a low sloping beach where the kids can safely walk a long way into the water. We drove past the Bebee Ranch and visited the museum, so our literature and history buffs were both satisfied. Thank you for a serene vacation!

Great Stay
I enjoyed my time at the sand piper house! Great location on the island and all the neighbors are very friendly! The house has everything you will need to cook easy meals to five course feasts! The beds are very comfy and the house has lots of nice touches. Every night if you sit out on the front porch you can watch the deers walk down the street! Also the horses beside McDonald’s are very friendly and love the treats! Make sure you bring some quarters!

Clean, Spacious, and Close to Assateague Beach
The house was clean, very spacious, with plenty of light in the living room and dining room areas. While we were only two people, this house easily accommodates a large family. The master bedroom was nicely appointed with a wall mounted cable television. As the listing stated, the master bathroom was recently renovated, however, this renovation did not include any updating of the small shower stall. The kitchen was adequate, with dishwasher, gas stovetop and oven, and large refrigerator/freezer. Only one small detail that I had looked forward to enjoying: the espresso maching described in the listing was not there. That said, we enjoyed the large living room area with fireplace, and while the current tv is fairly large, it's not large enough for a room this long and spacious. All of that said - our main reason for selecting this home was the location and convenience to Assateague Island and beach. It took less than 5 minutes to ride our bikes from the house to the entrance to Assateague National Seashore where we enjoyed the many wonderful bike paths. The home is also convenient to many restaurants, stores, and fun activities for the family. Communication with the host and check-in was very easy (the keys to the house are accessed through a locked key box). Neighbors and the neighborhood are very quiet. Enjoy this great place for a romantic or family getaway!

Great Location
The location and comfort are A+. The cleanliness of the Kitchen could have been better, but keep in mind that I may have OCD when it comes to cleanliness. Beds were comfortable and I would recommend this property to families! We had a great time on the Island and LOVED the beach! Don't forget your bikes! Thank you for all your help Ellen!

Lovely stay with a few issues.
Overall we had a very good stay. The location is excellent, just a quick bike ride to the beach. We did have some issues with not having enough toilet paper, paper towels, or any dish rags. The house is otherwise very nice and was great for two couples and a 16-month old.

Comfortable, good place close to beach
A good house for a family beach trip, with all the basic necessities in a convenient location. We appreciated having sand chairs and umbrellas for use. Unfortunately the mosquitos made it impossible to be outside or eat on the deck, and they would swarm us as soon as we stepped outside. Our only quibble with the house was that floors and bathrooms were not cleaned very well prior to our arrival, so some room for improvement there.

Little piece of heaven!
The home is perfectly located on the island. It's close to everything. It's charmingly decorated and has everything you'd expect in a beach house. We used the kitchen everyday and we were impressed with all the cookware, the kuerig, utensils, even aluminum foil there at our finger tips.
We had an issue with a FedEx delivery (not being delivered) while visiting and Ellen was more then helpful and understanding! Thank you again Ellen for trusting us!
We had the most amazing time!

Great week at Sandpiper House
We had a great week at Sandpiper House! The house had plenty of space for all eight of us, and was just a short trip to the beach on Assateague. We enjoyed a boat tour with Daisey's, delicious tacos at Pico Taqueria, saw the ponies and had fun at the beach. We would love to come back to Chincoteague again sometime. Thank you for sharing your home!

Wonderful property, lovely owners!
Wonderful property, and we love the neighborhood! It took about 24 hours for the AC to really cool the place down but after that not a single issue! There were no linens and towels available so bring your own. The property manager was very kind and responsive.
