This home is warm and welcoming! The setting is so peaceful and serene. A great layout for our extended family. Grandparents, kids & grandkiddos. Lots of space to spread out and then gather in the huge eat-in kitchen for meals. Great area for kayaks, canoes, crabbing off the dock. We brought a large floating raft to stay above the jellies. About a 40 minute drive to beautiful Cape Charles (free public beach).

We explored the water ways around Onancock and the made several trips to Assateague and Chincotrague, the people of Onancock are the most friendly people you can meet.
4.6
Very cozy house with lots of bedrooms and common areas for chatting with family. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious kitchen and family room, along with the beautiful view of the water. The sunset was lovely out on the dock!
Greg, the property manager, is extremely responsive and accommodating. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend this home for gatherings with friends and family in a home-like setting.

Our family came to Onancock to spend the weekend because of the passing of our much loved Dad and my Sister Robin Rich-Coates. The College Eastern Shore Community College dedicated a sweet magnolia tree and several plaques in her honor. She was a professor in the sciences for decades and touched many young people’s lives mentoring and encouraging them to go forward with their degrees at 4 year colleges. We witnessed a community of people very unique on the Eastern Shore.. caring and loving and genuine. We also had a family time to spread our loved ones ashes in the sands at the Chincoteague oceans. The home was beautiful welcoming and well suited for family to enjoy time outdoors fishing and crabbing off the dock and we had a great time. It is well appointed and comfortable and clean! Greg our host was most helpful making sure to help with all arrangements and needs. Our pup Winnie also had a great time exploring the beautiful grounds and the marshy shore and water.

Home was easy to book and check in. The owner is fantastic and keeps the home in great condition. We had access to water activities and shopping. The central location on the Shore makes it an ideal vacation spot.

This place was amazing! We enjoyed going out to a local restaurant that was right on the water and had a band playing. The locals were cool and there were a good amount of people on vacation there. It was the perfect vibe. The house was about 15 minutes from the closest stores and Walmart, but was tucked away and very private. It was quiet and peaceful. We went swimming in the water, brought some tubes and tied them to the dock and floated around. It was like our own little swimming hole. There were some jelly fish during this time of the year, but if they brushed up against you, it didn’t hurt. The house had awesome decorations and had a lot of stuff in the house we could use. Greggory was an amazing host and was available whenever he was needed. Everyone in my group said they would want to come back and we will. Thank you Greggory for being an awesome host!

The perfect getaway. The house is stunning, from the landscape architecture and beautiful hydrangeas. The inside of the house is massive! Perfect for relaxing and entertaining. From grilling and relaxing on the porch overlooking the water to fishing or doing cannon balls off of the dock. We all had a ball, especially the kids and dogs alike! Greg was an excellent host and gave us great tips from restaurants to even finding local Peelers for fishing. Onancock is a magical little secret. We will be back for sure!!

The house is beautiful! Very clean, plenty of space for a big group, a very well equipped kitchen and a great big table for big group meals. The lot is beautiful. Nice flat yard for playing games and the flowers/shrubs were so pretty!
The location is secluded, surrounded by lots of farmland. Neighbors on both sides, but plenty of privacy. Just a 15 minute drive to walmart/grocery/pharmacy stores. The downtown area of Onancock is cute, but definitely not walkable from the house.
Greg was very helpful and so easy to work with. He was attentive without being annoying. Definitely a pleasure to work with him.
Our only complaint is the jellyfish in the water. Obviously, nothing Greg can do about it, but it did prevent us from swimming (after a few stings, we gave up). There are no nearby (less than 45 minutes) beaches, so we were out of luck with swimming but were still able to kayak and fish.
All in all and great stay!

Plenty of room for 10 people. Nice, clean and quiet. Will rent it again

The property is secluded on a small creek that is a short drive outside of Onancock, surrounded by farms and country roads. The home is perfectly suitable for up to 5 couples and a few children. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen/dining/family room layout is great for entertaining. The back porch and backyard have a wonderful view of the creek. Sunsets and sunrises are peaceful and quiet over the water. Great spot for family and friends to enjoy!

The house was very comfortable with plenty of room. The yard was large enough for children to play. Owner was just a text away. We had a wonderful time.

This is a great property. The house was very clean. It rests in a quite neighborhood. It was more than large enough for our large group. The backyard grass was cut and a great place for the kids to play. Also a great place to kayak. The roads are very low traffic making a bike ride into town very enjoyable. Greg was easy to work with, and checked to see if everything was acceptable when we arrived. A very nice overall experience.

NOT what it appears to be
The pictures of this property are deceiving. There is no sandy beach area. The dock is beyond damaged and cannot be assessed. The house has a strong mildew smell. The air conditioning does not work well. We brought our 12 year old dog to swim which she couldn't because there was no assess to the water like the pictures showed. The property has poison ivy all over, which we wound up getting. The TV did not work upstairs. The house is not nearly as large as it states.

Beautiful home. Wish we had more time to sit back and enjoy all the home and area has to offer. Great communication with host.

House was perfect. Easily slept 9 and was spacious enough that we were not on top of each other at all times. Minutes from Onancock and only a few more minutes to Rt. 13. The House gives you easy access to the entire Eastern Shore from a great home base. The house layout allowed the 5 of us that were in one group to be in one part of the house and everyone else was in the downstairs bedroom wing. We could all gather on the deck, kitchen, and living room yet still have our own space. Highly recommend going to the Island House Restaurant in Wachapreague.

Great quiet location!
We visited here for a week. House has a great set up for a large family gathering with the bedroom layout. It is well equipped in the kitchen as well.
The location on the creek is secluded and quiet. We docked our boat, kayaked, fished and caught crabs from the dock on the property. Being pet friendly also meant our lab was able to come with us on vacation. He enjoyed swimming everyday as well.
Highly recommend this house.

House and owner were very accommodating! The house was gorgeous and spacious and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

I was returning to the East Coast after several years and needed a reasonably priced place close to Richmond and Williamsburg that would allow me to house and entertain friends and family so I could see them all and make their trip worthwhile. This property fit those requirements nicely and the owner was great with communication. Most people hung out at the house, but some of us made the short trip up to Chincoteague for a day and enjoyed some beach time. One warning, the ladder onto the dock out of the water was covered in some type of razor sharp mollusk. Bad news for the first up (me) but everyone else managed to avoid cuts after my warning. Really nice back deck and lawn. Neighbors were closer than I thought too, so I hope we didn't bug them staying up late and talking out back. Never heard any complaints so hopefully wasn't an issue.

This is a very comfortable and sweet stays in the waterfront house. The house is so clean. Kitchen is very foundational. Every bedroom is like 5- stars hotel room. Surprisedly our fur children also has comfortable bed. So sweet. Bathrooms are clean and working perfectly. Backyard, wood-fire is ready for us for the night with beautiful sunset. The crab catchers are also work so well so that we got some crabs from the end of the deck. Both adults and Kids love it. Greg is such a responsible person with all the proper instruction on time. We all felt we were very well taking cared. Definitely we will be back to the house soon. Thanks for everything

This house was perfect for my husband, daughter, mother, family friends, and I! We had a family wedding nearby and wanted to stay together.

Wonderful property. I usually rent a place for a week 2-3 times a year with my two children (14 and 11) and a friend with her 14 year old. This by far has been the best house; it never felt as a rental but as visiting a family house. Very well kept and very personal. The rooms were all amazing and comfortable. The kids had a wonderful time (4 kids this time as my daughter invited a friend too so we had 2 14-year olds and 2-11 year olds). Everyone had ample of space and privacy (which I cherish even more during vacation). Kitchen was amazing too with everything one needs to feed 4 kids and there is a very bright sitting room watching the water.Best part was the yard and the pier on the water. Even though it was cold most days (snow in April!), we enjoyed the water. I brought my inflatable canoe and it was a beautiful ride to the Bay. (I didn’t hit any major currents). Very peaceful. Morning coffee by the pier was incredible!!!Oh and the roads are perfect for a road bike! Greg was very responsive and helpful.Overall, a perfect house to relax, read, enjoy the water and nature and still have plenty of room to keep privacy from your teenagers :-)
