Slack Tide - by its very definition is a time when the water is completely unstressed. This is a short period of time, kind of like your vacation, but such an important time. We cannot think of a better name for this lovely Vacation Home, that upon entering, you will feel yourself beginning to decompress. Located in Piney Island, a lush Community which happens to be one of the closest to Assateague National Seashore, Slack Tide will not disappoint.

You'll love the Bookcase the owners have provided filled with family games, puzzles, and books, and there is even a Game Table for enjoying them. Just around the corner, the very well-stocked Kitchen will please the Chef in the family, and has every gadget you could want to prepare Family Meals. You will love being able to dine indoors or Al Fresco on the incredible Deck out back with a Fire Pit. Don't feel like cooking?

Summary of reviews
Guests loved this property for its dog-friendly environment, close proximity to Assateague, modern amenities, and spacious backyard with a fire pit.
5.0 / 5.0
This was our first visit to Chincoteague (husband came as a kid back in the day) and we knew we needed dog friendly and to be close to Assateague. This house is PERFECT for anyone with pups and kids. It is a clean modern home with a great outdoor space and about a mile from Assateague. So close we biked to the beach most days.
In the TV room, there is a large sectional which was perfect for relaxing in the evening with a movie. On nice weather nights, we loved the backyard and fire pit.
The rental company was responsive, but they also anticipatedany of our needs so we didn't have to communicate too much. We had a week of family fun time and it was just easy.
Love this place. Perfect fit for 2 adults, 2 hound dogs, and a 4 year old.

We loved being able to take our very first vacation with our dog. He learned the doggie door in 1 minute flat! It's been a dream to see the wild horses and we were not disappointed. The house was perfect for us. It had everything we could need.

I have always admired this house and was so happy it was available for our stay. This house was a perfect set up for us. The outdoor firepit was definitely an added bonus. Beat having to lug all the stuff for a fire on the beach. The only thing that would help make it perfect is a screened in area. The flies made it miserable for sitting/eating outdoors! The mosquitoes were not bad at all, first year I can honestly say that. We all loved this house and even the kids said its now their favorite!

Loved the spacious home, the location, and yes, the quiet as the day wound down. Only one item ( we feel) would have helped- pick up days for trash &/or recycling. Nothing in the information left at the house. But we did the best we could by following what the neighbors were doing. We’ll definitely be back!

5.0 / 5.0
Great, spacious home for a family with 3 little ones 5 and under. If you’re a 2 family group booking, the house is split really well if you need your own space! The kitchen was the BEST stocked kitchen I’ve ever experienced with a vacation home rental. We cook all dinners “in” given bedtimes, and there wasn’t an issue needing anything they didn’t already have. The bunk room was great for the older ones, but if you’re an adult this isn’t a full sized room! Smelled a little musty in that one but attributed to portion of house that was converted for the room. A little Damp Rid charcoal box did the trick! It’s hard to expect a house that allows dogs to not have some random dog hair, but the removable couch covers were appreciated so we didn’t need to sit in dog hair. Fire pit and yard were ideal to keep little ones entertained, minus the mosquitoes, but that’s just a product of the island. Also appreciate on-site washer and dryer with kids!!

This is exactly as advertised! Spotlessly clean, conveniently located, and very peaceful and quiet. They also have tons of games and DVDs ready to go! Recommend without hesitation.

The passage from kitchen to living room was a step down then a step up, difficult for older guests who are unsteady on their feet
Back yard was perfect for pet owner

We really enjoyed our 2 weeks prior to Christmas in Chincoteague. Loved the house, yard, and neighborhood. Met some Teagers at local dog park and walked the nature trail several times. Local grocery and bakery were nearby. Got takeout from the diner, Asian Express, and Famous Pizza. Used Dog E Stylez and H&H Pharmacy, plus Urgent Care in town across the bridge.

This property was great for my family of 6! And the unique layout of the house was great for everyone to have their own area to play and relax. Even though we brought some things to occupie the kids . It was nice that there were some games, toys, and movies for the kids. And the fenced in yard and fire pit was a plus!

Quiet neighborhood with a dog friendly yard. Plenty of space to get away for quiet time in the house. Fun to watch movies in DVD! Would return for a spring trip for sure!

This property had it all. Books, games, movies, fire pit, yard, mud room everything. It would be easy to stay busy, or not, no matter the weather or time of year.
Very responsive management.

The house was clean with an updated kitchen. We spent a lot of time by the fire pit in the evenings. It was very easy to get to the beach and we walked down to the museum to watch a rocket launch. We had a fabulous time!

Beautiful home
The home was absolutely perfect! Definitely the most pet friendly rental we have ever stayed in. The only down side was the mosquitoes, but obviously that is not in the owners control. Otherwise. We has a great time!!

Relaxing
We have been to the island for years, but stayed at KOA. This trip was FAR better. We look forward to either booking Slack tide again or one of your other properties. You took the stress out of vacationing..thank you for that. The history of slack tide is an interesting story, as well.

Overpriced
I stayed with family and friends for 4th of July. While the house is big and beautiful and the neighborhood is lovely. I thought it was overpriced for the amenities provided. Few of the issues I encountered: Mold in bathrooms, outdated kitchen, uncomfortable mattresses, running toilet. Those are things I'd easily overlook but not for.the price of this property.. other then that.

Great Chincoteague Getaway
Our family of four plus dog appreciated this property, especially its fenced yard with a dog door from the house. We love the fire pit, the wii and games for a rainy day, and how clean and bright the place is. We hope to stay here again someday. Thank you!

Great place for making summer memories with kids
Location was convenient to all the places we needed - 10 min drive from Assateague beach and just 5-7 min drive away from crabbing and pier fishing locations. We forgot to order good weather and our Memorial Day weekend was rained out, but we managed to squeeze in all the fun in between - the house had plenty of games to keep the kids occupied and we caught Harry Potter on the TV. The backyard is spacious and well appointed with a shed with charcoal grill and a very large fire pit -kids loved making smores. Owner was very responsive to all of our questions and needs. The kitchen has everything, but a dishwasher was the only thing I missed. Other than that had a great time.

Chincoteague vacation
We were able to check in early which was a plus. We found the layout very nice, especially the master bedroom, it’s like your own little apartment 😊 love the large dining area and all the games! It’s situated in a very good location, access to the refuge and dining areas right down the street! The launch for kayaks and small boats is very nice, just beware of the mosquitoes lol! The fire pit was so nice to use as well as the bikes and outside games provided in the shed! The reason I did not score the cleanliness high is because we were told you need to check out by 10 instead of 11 due to co-vid19 and they needed more time to clean, which is understandable but we arrived to find a lot of mouse droppings under the kitchen sink cabinets and leftover dog food on the kitchen floor, also if you want to use any of the utensils, wash them first as they were dirty. I strongly suggest upgrading to a dishwasher. I would suggest is cleaning the ceiling fans they had a lot of dust on the blades. The only other thing is that the master bath shower door handle falls off. We would definitely stay again, and the main reason that made it a special place was the dog yard, we have 2 dogs that travel everywhere and it’s hard to find places with a fenced area😊

Well-appointed launchpad for Chincoteague adventures
Cozy, well-maintained spot with plenty of outdoor space and amenities - the beach chairs alone are a huge win if your vehicle is space-challenged like ours! Very close to the road to Assateague and walking distance to shops where you can pick up the necessities. Communication was prompt and check-in was a breeze.

Memorial Day Weekend
We had a great time over the holiday weekend! The flies were really bad this weekend so watch out! We had the fire going every night which helped and was our favorite part! The house was clean when we arrived and the owner was very responsive with whatever questions we had. We rented bikes across the street and rode around the island all weekend. We will be renting this house again.
