About this house rental
This charming rancher is ready to welcome you and your family. Come make memories in the cozy and relaxing space. Enjoy this redone home on large lot perfect for family games of kickball and tag after a fun day at the beach. This home sleeps 8-9 folks comfortably. It has a stocked kitchen, a dining area and living room with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. There is an outdoor shower and foot rinse (April-November). Just added for Fall 2024: Disc Golf unit for the backyard and 8 new outdoor chairs.
The driveway can hold roughly 8 vehicles, please do not park (or drive) on the grass. This home is walking distance to the Veterans Park (.8 mile) and is away from the town's bustle. We are a 7 minute drive to the beach and roughly a 20 minute bike to the beach. The Brass Crab is set up with families in mind with child friendly spaces, bunk beds and open places to play, but can easily work for 3 couples as well.
Queen rooms are on the East side of the house, the other two bedrooms are on the west. The main living space is in the middle of the 4 bedrooms. All rooms have white noise makers and blackout curtains.
All rooms have space for a pack-n-play. A pack-n-play, portable highchair, and a diaper changing pad are available in the bunk closet. This closet also contains outdoor games and the rainy day box. We will leave these in place but recommend you clean them prior to your use.
There is 1 TV in the living room and wireless internet. We provide Prime video and Netflix.
This is a 3/4 acre lot with a large front yard and a fenced backyard. A walkway, patio, and fire pit area have been added to the outdoor space for additional fun and relaxation! You'll need to bring your own wood, and you'll want bug spray.
Please send a message with additional questions and we would be happy to help.

The house was lovely. Everything as advertised. It was close to Pony Swim lane, so we were able to walk over to watch the ponies swim and march from there to the fairgrounds. The back yard was great, too. Lots of space for kids to run around as well as a great picnic set up.

Overall the space was great. With the money and fees paid, the beds should be made upon arrival. Also more towels for the kitchen area would be helpful. It was a lovely stay

This was by far the best property we have stayed in with VRBO. The place was super clean, stocked, and the owners couldn’t be kinder or more responsive. The location is also close to everything. We will be back , thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved the quaint charm of the home combined with the convenience to the local attractions. We were there to enjoy hiking, ponies, and time with friends, and this residence was a perfect accommodation for us. The host communication was timely and accurate in all accounts. We had More privacy than a hotel, more convenient for together times, a nice backyard to enjoy a fire pit, a barbecue, a toss of a ball with the kids, or a glass of wine at sunset. We loved our stay. Thanks !
One and only low note was that we couldn’t find a find a pen anywhere to sign the cute guest register, LOL! We will catch it next time but I promise we have only good memories of our stay. :-)

I had visited Chincoteague with college friends years ago & when we were thinking about a place for a short stay while kids had off for Easter break, looked into it. A lovely home, fit us perfectly and location was great! The house had everything we would have needed -we didn’t cook but everything was there if we had ;) Loved the sound machines and room darkening shades- usually an issue with some rentals. Games were a plus too! Highly recommend this sweet home!
5.0
The house was very clean and nicely equipped with everything we needed. Although it was too cold to be outside much, the yard is huge and would be wonderful to spend time in during warmer weather. We could have easily had twice the number of people, but the four of us enjoyed the extra space. Great collection of extra books and games! The location was convenient for driving to the Nature Refuge and boat tour starting point.

Four friends spending a few days on the coast. The house was perfect as we each had our own room, and the rooms are spacious. One room had its own bathroom which was a bonus! We really appreciated the thought that went into all the items the house had stocked for the kitchen. We even found extra batteries for the clock and TV remote. We didn't have children in our party, but it looks like it is well thought out for them as well. Thank you!

We had a great time at the Brass Crab!! The house was just as described. I was a little nervous that it would be too small for our group of 8; however, that wasn't at all the case. The layout of the home worked well with the bedrooms in the corners of the home and the common areas in the middle. The outdoor area was perfect to enjoy the nice October weather, and the outdoor shower was wonderful. The beds were comfortable although I do recommend bringing your own pillows as the ones provided were very thin. We went to Oyster Festival, which was held at Tom's Cove Park, and were able to walk, which was a huge benefit to us. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to visit the island, especially if you'll be attending any events at Tom's Cove Park. I didn't interact with the owner during our stay as there was no reason to - all detailed information provided in the check-in instructions were accurate, there was a list on the fridge that had additional information, and the house was as promised. I did exchange a few emails shortly after booking; my questions were immediately and clearly answered. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I find myself back in the area!

We had so much fun! The house had plenty of space and was so well appointed. Right down the road from Beebe Ranch. Owner was responsive and very kind. The locals in this town are the best!! Our children had a great time and my friend and I did as well. We will be back!

Owner needs to make sure Wi-Fi password and network are prominently posted. We had to call owner. Also there was only one remote for tv and should have been two. We made it work

It was a great experience. The kids had a great yard to play in. Everything is there you would need to get started.
I would suggest some dish towels, plastic containers with tops to put food in. Get a new vacuum! Really enjoyed it.

The Brass Crab is located minutes from all the highlights of Chincoteague. The house is cute and quaint, but don’t be fooled- there is plenty of room for large families or even a group of friends/couples.
The yard is wonderful for kids. We spent a lot of time out back playing baseball after dinner and before heading out to ice cream at the Island Creamery.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay at the Brass Crab, chincoteague is wonderful and relaxing and it was just what our family needed before heading back to school.
*I would recommend an industrial size door mat at the front door to catch dirt and sand from the beach and yard*
5.0
I don’t think you could’ve asked for a better spot to stay with kiddos! But also- it was comfy, clean and roomy! We enjoyed our stay here and think that this is the best spot we’ve stayed at on the island thus far. The enclosed backyard was lovely as well as a generous sized front yard!

This was our third stay at the Brass Crab and it was absolutely lovely as always. The house is comfortable, clean, and stocked with everything you need to have a relaxing, worry-free vacation. Elizabeth and Matt are the best hosts ever!

The house was perfect for our family of five! When we arrived it was clean and felt like home. The kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked at least one meal and day from pancakes, spaghetti, even the crab we caught and had everything we needed to do so.
The wash stations in the front and back helped everyone quickly clean off from the beach. Fenced in backyard is very private and peaceful. Neighbors are friendly. Host was quick with all communications and a pleasure to book from.
Highly recommend to anyone looking! We plan to return in the future.

Elizabeth’s home is lovely… she provided everything we needed for an easy stay in Chincoteague… very responsive and helpful! The home/property is perfect for comfortable traveling and enjoying the area.

The Brass Crab has everything! 4 bed rooms (more than we needed) two bathrooms, a spacious backyard, grill, outdoor seating, and firepit! The decor was beachy and stylish and the kitchen had everything we needed to make amazing meals at home. My 6 year old daughter loved the room with the bunk beds, and the TV had all the streaming apps we needed to hunker down for a movie after a long day at the beach. The house is so easy to get to and a short drive from the grocery store and amazing eats like Woody's and Pico! Highly recommend and we definitely want to come back to this amazing property!! Communication with the owner was so easy and timely!

All aspects of this booking were handled smoothly. The house is even better than pictured. Very comfortable for a large family or extended family. House comes fully stocked for cooking and outdoor use of firepit. There were NO bugs and we were there at beginning of August. Nice to have a washer and dryer and a generous supply of towels. The beds were comfortable and we really enjoyed the selection of books! Every detail for your comfort was thought out. Two indoor showers and nice outdoor shower too. Owner even reached out to tell us about a rocket launch nearby but I went unplugged for the vaykay. But that thoughtfulness was appreciated. Would happily request to book again!

Spacious quarters no one was underfoot. Our grandchildren enjoyed their stay. Would recommend this property to anyone with kids. The gentleman next door was gracious in helping us navigate around. Look forward to returning.

Just like home (but with ponies!)
Our second time at the Brass Crab and it was even lovelier than the first visit. The home is comfy, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and beautiful. The kids loved the games and books and running around in the fenced yard. We all loved the proximity to pony events, the grill, and the outdoor shower. The new bathroom is an added bonus! We will definitely be back.

Lovely home-very clean and comfortable. Great location and backyard. Be careful pulling out of driveway-
we found it good to back in so you can see better when you pull out.

Suited our needs...
House is located towards the south of Chincoteague island in quiet neighborhood. Lawn was maintained nicely, but we were not able to enjoy it due to the abundant mosquitoes in Chincoteague during the summer months. House accommodated our family well which consisted of my wife, 4 children, elderly mom and myself. The negatives we experienced were: beds were not made (comforters just lying over beds.) Had to put sheets/ pillowcases on five beds after a late evening arrival. Needed more towels/ wash clothes for the family. Property will be improved once adjacent abandoned house is demolished. Otherwise, everything worked well and the house looked like it had been recently updated. We slept well and the spaces were very functional for a larger family.
