It was the perfect fit for me and my hubby. He is on crutch's due to a botch hip surgery many yrs ago... anyway the house 1st floor is very handicap friendly. The master bedroom bed was comfy but very low to the ground. And bring your own pillows. Not many there. The one thing we were really looking forward to was going out on the dock, but I think between the storm that had come and just wear and tear on the wooden pathway to the dock, it fell down. We were not able to get out to the water. We did receive a small refund which we appreciated, and we would love to go back and visit that house and Chincoteague again.

We had a wonderful time at Trembling Bay. The house was comfortable and convenient and the views were absolutely beautiful!
Chincoteague Vacations Team was lovely and responsive as well!
Only thing to note is the need for the linens package(unless you want to bring all linens including bathmats etc) and be sure to bring your own oil/spices/tinfoil etc!
This place was an excellent choice for a sisters getaway weekend!

The house was so nice and charming; everything we expected and more. The dock along with the sunsets was outstanding. The location was perfect; close to shopping and restaurants. We normally don’t revisit our getaways; but this one we might have to. Loved it!

The mattresses need some serious upgrades. The king size bed does not have a box spring so the mattress sags between the slats of the frame and the bed only sits about a foot off the ground. I have a physical disability and the bed was too low to the ground for me to get up and down. I climbed the stairs each night and slept on the only comfortable mattress I could find. A twin bed for my almost 6 foot frame. Pictures show a sectional sofa in home but the house has two chairs and a love seat that could not have been slept on. Maintenance did place a board under mattress of king bed, but it needs a box spring to be comfortable

The house is very nice, however it is hard to enjoy a vacation when the beds are uncomfortable. King bed has no box spring so mattress sags between the bed rails and it only sits about 6 inches off ground. I personally slept on one of the twin beds upstairs. I am almost 6 feet tall and weight almost 300 but it was the only bed with any support. Pictures show house with big sectional sofa house had small uncomfortable sofa and chairs. Updated pictures needed

House was very updated and clean. We brought paddle boards and the dock was wonderful. The master suite is huge and the bathroom as well. The two bedrooms upstairs were smaller than we thought. The bathroom on the first floor had a curtain that was only half covering the window so there was no privacy for showers. The mosquitoes were so bad during our week even in the screened in porch but we’ve heard august is the worst for mosquitoes in Chincoteague. We will have to pick an earlier date in the summer next time!

July 2022 Stay
Very clean, comfortable, and charming home right on the bay. Highlights for our family were the dock (great for fishing), deck, and screened in porch for watching the sunsets. Close enough to town to bike to but still peaceful and private.

Beautiful setting
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful time at Trembling Bay. The house was lovely, the master suite amazing, and the views were unparalleled. The only downsides were the upstairs bedrooms. They were quite small and warm. The pier could use some maintenance as well. However, the stay was so enjoyable those were small annoyances. I'd return there in a blink.

Quiet summer getaway
This cottage was lovely. Private, quiet, clean, and with beautiful views of the bay. I could have spent the whole week on the screened porch. My only criticism is that the air conditioning doesn't cool the upstairs sufficiently. There are fans in the house, and you definitely need them on the second floor. Also, no linens means no bath mats, so don't forget to bring them like we did. But even with those criticisms, I would happily stay here again.

Fabulous vacation! This house is adorable and very comfortable! Everything is in good working order, we had no issues with anything. Quiet and tranquil, with magnificent sunsets. To the owners of Trembling Bay, thank you for sharing your charming home!

Had an awesome time at Trembling Bay. House is very quaint, views are incredible! Photo is a sunset from the ramp leading down to the pier. Pier would be wonderful in the summer for fishing and crabbing. Love having the master bed and bath on the 1st floor. Love the fireplace. Lots of extras as well, rental agency provides starter paper towels, dish and dishwasher detergents, washing machine detergent and dryer sheets, and toilet paper. Really enjoyed our relaxing visit and hope to come back soon!!

June 2021 Stay
I have been coming here for over 30 years and have rented numerous. I was most disappointed in this rental for so many reasons.
Air conditioner froze up daily (even with following the directions). Master TV didn’t work at all and was never attended to during our stay. All skillets are in terrible shape. Owner needs to invest in a new set. Shower consistently leaks onto bathroom floor.
You had to sit on the washer to keep it latched during the spin cycle and the dryer makes a horrid screeching sound every time we used it.
We never did receive correct sheets from the linen rental and although we understand there is an apparent “linen shortage”, a proper communication prior (vs the day of) would have prompted us to get a king fitted sheet on our own. The $80 rental fee is a joke if you don’t get the needed linens.
Future guests need to know there is NO a/c in the upstairs bedrooms, only fans, and it gets very warm.
We ran out of hot water during our stay but the company was prompt in getting gas refilled
4.4
Location was great and house was pleasantly decorated. However, major concern was two bathrooms. The master bath was nicely renovated with one big flaw: shower will flood the entire bathroom and possibly the bedroom itself no matter how carefully you shower. We could not take shower since we did not want to ruin the floor. The second bathroom had one old, dirty shower head with moldy knob. I tried to clean it with Clorox wipe but couldn’t.
Everything else was as expected but bathroom showers were such letdowns and need to be fixed. Just cannot believe how no one else had issues with them. I would come back only if there two are addressed and fixed. Second bathroom need new tub and shower system: tub is so high that anyone taller than 5feet will not be able to take shower standing up.

July 2021 Stay
Overall the house/location was great. However, there were a few minor issues: the stovetop wasn’t cleaned very well, there was an issue with one of the TVs and the A/C wasn’t working properly toward the end of our stay. I’m assuming someone already knew because a technician came to fix it. While we were happy to see them, a heads up that this company was coming would have been appreciated.

Cute property with lovely view. A few items in need of repair (stove top was cracked and fireplace needed screen to cover wires) but overall great for a weekend getaway. Living room furniture seemed new and was very comfortable. Outside furniture could have been cleaned before arrival. If planning to cook make sure to check that the stove top has been repaired. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our second stay at Trembling Bay. The house checks off all of our current Chincoteague stay needs: great location for biking to favorite stops at Pico Taqueria, Island Creamery and the refuge. Lovely sunsets and a private dock. The house is well equipped for our needs - a small family of adults.

We spent a couple weeks in early March there and though it was too cold to enjoy sitting on the pier for long the view from the house was wonderful. The house has a gas fireplace which was very cozy and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone and we are going to make our reservations for the next time very soon.

Loved the views and the location. People on the island were very kind and welcoming everywhere we went.
Only issue was the fireplace didn't work. Tried to get it fixed, but was not. This was one of the main reasons for choosing this house. Wanted to sit by the fire with my new husband. Also the sectional sofa was in need of repair. The mechanisms did not work so could not prop our feet to relax. But overall enjoyed the house very much.

Family enjoyed the getaway at your property. Positives included: convenient location, excellent views of water and potential NASA launches, comfortable furniture and beds, beautiful porch on bayside. Negatives included: uneven flooring, online pictures of the interior are better than the real thing, and non-working fireplace.
I also received emails regarding cleaning of property before we left including: wipe down kitchen, take out trash, vacuum/sweep floors, strip beds of linen and place towels and linen at door. I assumed there was a cleaning service b/c there is a tip jar for cleaners, so was unsure why we had to do so much before the cleaners came.
We do still appreciate the use of the home on Chincoteague Island.

Trembling Bay is such a great and relaxing rental. The house has beautiful views of the bay and a private dock that is simply divine.
Chincotegue Resort Vacations customer service is also terrific. Before, during, and after your vacation stay they keep you up to date on your rental and answer any questions promptly. Thank you for another wonderful stay.

We loved the property location. We saw the sunset each night from the large windows, screened porch and pier. My son caught sea bass, eel, and many other small fish. We rented kayaks. Some days were really windy but we did get some very relaxing time one the water. My husband and son saw 3 or 4 sharks, We caught blue crab every night and had with dinner. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Nice dishwasher, new washer and dryer. Two bedrooms up stairs are small and were a little warm. The large first floor bedroom was handicap accessible. Mattresses were okay. WiFi was good. We loved Assateague national refugee. We walked a lot of the nature trails. Saw wild ponies, tricolor heron, egrets, butterflies and frogs. We had a beach day. We saw sea gulls, sand pipers and plowers. The house needs some work. Porches had not been sweep down so there were lots of spider webs. Go to the food lion if purchasing groceries. It is only 20 minutes away. The Valu mart on
The island was pricy and the food not too appealing. We set up a reservation at Etta’s. When we got there they told us they didn’t have at least 7 or 8 Seafood items on the menus. The menu was already limited so we left. We went to Don’s in town. It was okay. Glad we ate in most night. Overall we would rent again because of pier and location.
