Cute cottage, great spaces and a wonderful kitchen. Great spot with amazing little details and calming color scheme - relax and read a book or watch a show, sit on the front swing and listen to the birds. Lots of option - plan to come back soon.

This house is the essence of well-executed simple design, inside and out! From location, architecture, landscaping and interior design, to amenities, necessities and owner support, the Starfish House was a delightful vacation home for us to enjoy charming Chincoteague and Assateague.

We had an amazing week in Chincoteague staying at The Starfish! The house was the perfect size for the four of us. Everything was clean and the host provided a few extras - Bluetooth speaker, boogie boards, and lots of board games. Will definitely stay at the Starfish when we return to Chincoteague!

A wonderful place in an ideal location—even better than advertised. This delightful cottage has been thoroughly modernized and tastefully decorated. The porches are broad and cool even in the heat of the day, and the kitchen beautifully designed and equipped. Whether you’re pony-watching, beach-going, wilderness hiking or just getting away from it all, this is the perfect place to stay. We especially appreciated the host’s flexibility in modifying our initial reservation.

Was welcoming from the time you drove up. This place was very clean, very well thought out, and we highly recommend. If you are wanting a clean spot, time to relax, and a place to make memories this is the one for you!

This was a wonderful getaway retreat. You CANNOT TOP this little cottage. Everything is provided that you need: super clean, well decorated, and appointed and close to great restaurants and the quaint downtown area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The communication with Jennifer (owner) could not have been better from the trip planning stage through the conclusion of our stay. She was immensely friendly and helpful. Stay at Starfish - you will not regret it.

Absolutely lovely home, very clean and cozy! Great communication with hosts. Would definitely stay again when we go back to the Eastern Shore.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Starfish. The house was newly renovated and had all the best amenities. The beds were very comfortables and we loved the big wrap around porch as well as the side screened porch. We would definitely stay here again!

We love staying at the Starfish House! This was our third time and we’ve already booked another trip for August. Thanks for another cozy stay!

This is absolute beach perfection! Beautifully decorated with upscale finishes and style, well appointed kitchen and bath, comfy beds, huge porch, so cute! we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the quiet neighborhood and convenient location, very clean and comfortable, so easy to wish it was permanently our own. Many thanks for sharing your slice of Chincoteague heaven ☀️😘

The house was very clean and nicely decorated-it had everything we needed. The owners even gave me a nice Birthday surprise-so thoughtful! Close to everything, quiet and safe neighborhood. Did not want to leave. We will stay here again!

My adult daughter and I booked the Starfish House for a weekend of biking and getting together w other family members who stayed in close proximity to the house. We were thrilled to enter a beautifully decorated, clean, renovated cottage with a beautiful sitting porch (some of it screened) to shield us from the mosquitoes that are so popular on Chincoteague Island! We enjoyed the welcome basket and bottle of wine-and that all supplies necessary were readily available ( t.p., paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc…) Access into the house was easy, and the ev charger and washer and driver also made life easier for the weekend. The only problem we encountered was that the oven was extremely difficult to use-wish there were directions… but luckily, our short stay didn’t require cooking. Had we needed to cook, the kitchen so beautifully renovated, would have not been so convenient to use without contracting the owner for instructions. Perhaps leaving directions in the welcome basket would have been a good idea. The inability to simply boil water for a cup of tea turned out to be quite frustrating. All in all, we had a lovely weekend and appreciated the comfortable beds, and extremely clean house. We would return to this house again for sure! Vanessa from NJ

This cottage was very thoughtfully and tastefully remodeled and decorated, and was equally pleasing to the adults and the kids in our family. Location cannot be beat if you are looking to explore Assateague/Chincoteague. Hosts were very responsive and incredibly understanding. A clear winner.

Nice quiet neighborhood, house was spotless and well-outfitted. The porch was delightful. Walking distance to stores, restaurants, activities. Would definitely stay here again.

It was the perfect size house for just the two of us. It was newly renovated and very clean. The kitchen was really great with new higher end appliances. The neighborhood was quiet with easy access to the wildlife refuge and a bike rental company. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

We loved staying at the Starfish House! This is our second trip and both times I have left saying that next time we'll stay longer! It's sparkling clean and fresh, well maintained, and stocked with everything you need!

Exactly as advertised. Cozy, newly remodeled home in prime location. Extremely clean, well decorated, and high-end. Perfect for a couple or small family trip. Hosts were great to work with.

Wow! The Starfish was amazing the second time around. My son, nephew and sister and I had the best week. There were sad faces when it was time to leave, but we're excited to plan our next visit. The Starfish was clean, cozy and had all of the amenities we needed. It was a hot one during in our stay, but the house was cool. The porch was wonderful to enjoy for breakfast and during some of the afternoon rain storms. The kids loved playing with their Hot Wheels and Bubbles on the awesome wrap around deck / porch. The area offers so many unique and wonderful adventures. We spent time at the beach, Tom's Cove, the Daisey Island Cruise, the Blueberry Festival, Island Creamery, shopping and so much more. Thanks to Jen and Brad for removing any stress about accommodations. We truly look forward to the next visit. Cheers! Melanie

In a nut shell we loved the property, will definitely stay there again. Great property and owners!

A lovely escape!! Quiet in early morning for coffee and journaling. Just a walk to delicious donuts at Sandy Pony. Very grateful for Weber BBQ. Amazing escape from 9th floor Philly condo.

The house was very well decorated, super clean, and the location was very convenient (everything was a short drive or bike ride away)! Isn’t a huge place but had lots of space for everyone to spread out and was laid out well (the large wrap-around porch was great and was partially screened in). We rented bikes for the weekend from the Chincoteague Bike Shop (if you rent for more than 2 days they will deliver and pick-up which was a huge convenience). Overall-very nice place to stay!

The interior was clean and had a classy maritime flair to it. It came with all amenities including a washer and dryer, a bathroom w/ rain shower, and a very well equipped kitchen, as well as a Weber barbecue on the veranda. The veranda goes around the house on three sides with a dinner table, a garden couch combo and several more seating areas including on romantic Holywood swing. The former two are shielded from the mosquitoes from the marshes by framed nets all around. The little settlement on Chincoteague has quite some small stores for most holiday needs close by. Many are walkable or can be reached from the Starfish within minutes by car or bike. Assateague National park is shy of a 10min drive or 30min walk away providing ample opportunity for fishing or crabbing in the marshes, swimming in the Atlantic, or walking through the forrests or swamps. The owners quickly responded to any questions and the communication was pleasant. Overall, we had a nice weekend on Chincoteague in the Starfish cottage.

The cottage is completely updated and decorated beautifully and as pictured. The kitchen is well appointed with thought put into to every detail of what you will need for your stay. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and being less than two miles away from the state park, with nice trails and beautiful beaches made it a perfect getaway.

What a wonderful weekend away! Celebrated our anniversary, Easter and time away as a family from the daily grind. Have always loved Chincoteague but finding this gem was a game changer. Jen was amazing to work with up to our stay and even checking in during our visit. Our little guy said it was the "most special ever beach house". The location, cleanliness and amenities were excellent. Everything you could need (except for more luggage to stay longer!) The Hosts thought of everything. Truly a wonderful time. Melanie

A beautiful home with modern, upgraded amenities. Fantastic neighborhood and more than gracious hosts. You would love this property. A very special place with very special owners.

The Starfish House is such a gem! We are so happy we found it for our getaway to Chincoteague. We went to visit Chincoteague and Assateague to vacation, go to the beach, and learn more about Misty of Chincoteague after reading the book. Jennifer was so helpful prior to our trip as we planned our itinerary of things to do and she even gave advice/answered questions promptly during our stay. The house is so well maintained and has so many wonderful details- a cozy screened in porch with hanging lights, a wrap around front porch with a whale picnic table that the kids loved eating breakfast and playing at, a porch swing, a beautiful/modern kitchen and the house is well furnished with decor that looks like it’s right out of a magazine. We loved the starfish themed decorations throughout the house. The bathroom shower is roomy and worked really well when helping our little ones bathe after the beach. The waterfall shower head is wonderful too. The location of the house is close to everything and made getting to the beach and lighthouse easy. We also enjoyed some tours with the Step Through Time tour of Main Street and Beebe Ranch, as well as the Assateague Explorer boat tour where we saw dolphins, and the Museum of Chincoteague was a great one for the kids. We finished the trip off with a visit to the delicious Island Creamery and even were delighted to see some of the wild ponies on the way to the beach. A fantastic VRBO and we hope to visit again in the future! Thank you, Jennifer and Brad!

Really enjoyed my stay in this cute and well appointed clean cottage

This was our second stay at The Starfish House and it looks as fresh and new as it did a year ago when we first visited. The owners are incredibly kind and showed up within minutes on a Saturday evening when we encountered an unexpected issue, which they were prepared and able to fix themselves -- eagerly and with a smile! Don't hesitate to book The Starfish. It's the best!

The property was in a beautiful, quiet and charming neighborhood. It was easy to bike to the beach. The house is well equipped and comfortable.

We had a wonderful time at the Starfish House. It’s a beautiful place to stay. So cozy, yet modern with lots of creative touches. Definitely planning on returning next summer!

The house is beautifully decorated and very clean!! The hosts have thought of everything. Highly recommend!

This was the perfect house for my husband, daughter, and me to experience the area. It's beautifully decorated, modern, and convenient. We especially loved the screened-in porch and cozy kitchen.
