We enjoyed our late September 2024, 2 night, 3 day stay at Birchwood. The room with amenities was slightly different, but substantially similar to the photos. The bathroom, linens, furniture were very clean and comfortable. The flooring is light brown color and looked clean and nice. We didn't notice that it wasn't well cleaned until we were walking around in our bare feet. We had quiet, peaceful and good nights sleep there. We didn't have anyone in the rooms beside us. Due to the weather we didn't try the pool, but it looked cleaned and well maintained. There are some nice cookout grills and picnic areas which we didn't use. Beautiful rose bushes skirt the parking lot. It's not a luxury motel, but nice, comfortable and clean. We couldn't always contact management. The office was sometimes closed and phone not answered during posted open times. This was our first time to Chincoteague Island. We were really taken by its quaintness. Birchwood Inn is located just on the other side of the street from the Chincoteague Bay waterfront properties, so we were able to enjoy the view of the water. It is right beside the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department's fair ground, which was closed during our stay. One caveat is "The Causeway", Chincoteague Road, from the mainland to the island lays only 1 foot or so above the water. Heavy rains or turbulent weather may cause the road to be closed at short notice blocking entrance and exit to the island. I recommend Birchwood Inn.

Great location however property was dated, rooms has an unpleasant odor, wash clothes and towels had stains, carpet was extremely dirty. With some talc this place could be wonderful!

I don't mind older motels and in fact really enjoy a nice old school vibe as long as they are clean and the bed is comfy and this was. But it did seem like this place was a bit beyond the dated furniture. The kitchenette was really not usable. No pots, pans or utensils were provided and the metal bases under the electric burners on the oven were rusted (one was completely missing). The cosmetic issues with the older appliances were touched up with a different color of paint, giving it a vibe of custodian dealing with lewd graffiti on a middle school locker. The gate to the pool was in need of repair. There were just a number of issues like that that made it feel a bit depressing and rundown vs. just in need of a makeover. Location was great so spent most of the time out of the room anyway.
