This was our first-time visiting Chincoteague Island. Jay and Ann were very helpful giving us ideas of different things to do in the area, places to eat and the general area. They were very responsive to my messages and usually got back to me within minutes. The property was well taken care of and in a wonderful area. I would definitely stay at this property again!

We enjoyed our stay. The screened in porch was lovely. We also really enjoyed using the kayaks. This is a nice and clean property on the island.

Great home for a gathering of 5 women for pony week. Peaceful setting on the water, very quiet but still close enough for us to bike to all the pony events. Very comfortable and well stocked. Bonus: came with soaps, shampoos and paper products. We never had to go to the store for forgotten items. Only ate out once.

Jay’s Retreat is in a perfect location on the island! It sits nicely on the canal so there’s lots of opportunity for kayaking and crabbing. The screened in porch is a life saver with the mosquitoes! The house is very nice with plenty of space. It was very nice having the additional half bath; it is in a very tight location so it’s better for smaller individuals. All in all, it’s a great place for a vacation home and we hope to be back in the future.

Vacation for 3 generations of water lover. Adults could supervise children from the deck and screened porch on the dock below. Close access to the inlets plus view of the sunsise over the same. Layout of house perfect for Multigeneration family. Owners seem to care about tenants . Some things need to be updated but overall wonderful.

Very peaceful. Very quiet. Great for relaxing.

The owners provide all the important items needed for a quality stay. And, the little extras show the owners care and take pride in their rental property. I would highly recommend !

Property in a nice neighborhood - in the off season, you will feel that you have the whole neighborhood to yourself - very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.

House is wonderful...lots of outdoor sitting areas. So quiet. Great location. We had an awesome weekend! Hosts are very responsive to messages.

The host was very helpful and the property provided a lot of necessities. Plenty of towels, paper towels, coffee and filters. We enjoyed the kayaks and bikes.

Was a great atay

The property was very clean, the rooms were wonderfully decorated and comfortable, and there were bikes and kayaks available for use. The porch and neighborhood atmosphere was very welcoming, and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. This was also the first place we’ve stayed where there were so many kitchen and toiletry items. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Even in March this was a great vacation spot

Chincoteague, VA is halfway between where I live, and where a long-time dear friend lives—this cottage on the water was perfect for a weekend catch-up. Ann was wonderful, welcoming, and responded quickly when my Vrbo account—and all relative info—would not show up on my cellphone. It’s a lovely place, very well maintained, convenient and comfortable. I would love to go back!

We quite enjoyed our little winter trip to Chincoteague and this house provided the perfect place to relax. It is close to everything, including the wildlife refuge (we visited every day), but is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with nice water views. The house was clean, clearly cared for, and check-out procedures were reasonable. Will definitely stay here again!

Another pleasurable stay for the family, well stocked kitchen, clean and cozy. Wonderful area for walks and bird watching, we have always manage to see the wild ponies. We will be back!

Very nice house, great views

Great location in quiet neighborhood close to Main Street and Assateague Island National Park. House was clean and comfortable.

Great house, location, and amenities! Lots of household cleaning products, quality kitchen utensils, pots and pans, sheets, towels and even coffee! Wonderful extended weekend!

Jay's retreat is in a peaceful location and has everything you need for perfect getaway! Can't wait to come back.

We loved our stay at Jay’s Waterfront Retreat. Clean and well appointed. Lovely waterfront home that was perfect for our Chincoteague getaway.

Wonderful Vacation at Jay's Retreat...

We really enjoyed ourselves at Jay’s Retreat. Everything was nice and clean. The owners are very attentive and truly care about their guests and property. We loved the peace and tranquillity. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful and well maintained property inside and out. Almost everything you need to enjoy a relaxing stay is already on the property. Fully stocked kitchen, towels and linens provided. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with our stay.

Perfect canal front home. Everything you need is provided and hosts are very attentive. Location can't be beat.

Property was very well maintained and well stocked. We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the screened in porch. Would definitely stay again!

Our second year at the property! Booking for next year already! Love the ‘vibe’, food, people, and experiences of Chincoteague. A magical place! The home is well stocked, clean and perfectly located. Owners Jim and Ann are super responsive, kind and responsive! Jay’s Waterfront Retreat is a gem! ❤️

The experience at Jay’s Waterfront Retreat was remarkable. The house was very clean, toiletries, towels, and bed sheets provided. We did not have to worry about bringing anything, but ourselves. 2 Kayaks and many bicycles added to the amazing house with relaxing water view. We fished for crab or got into the water with the kayaks just out of the backyard. Quiet, family friendly neighborhood (private community), perfect for enjoys the peace only nature can provide. The only downside was that we did not stay longer. Rare opportunity to make wonderful memories with family and friends. The kids loved the board games and dvds also provided by Jay’s retreat. I appreciated all the helpful signs through the house. Also the little details about like the house’s history, our name on the wall, the lovely card, and the ice cream gift card. You can not come to the island and miss on the ice cream. We will definitely be back, just much longer next time.

Really loved the location of this home - really no noise except the birds and an occasional boat slowly heading out to the bay. Home was clean and well supplied, and the owners were very responsive and helpful.

My partner and I , along with our 2 cocker spaniels, just got back from a wonderful week in Chincoteague. I have been coming to the island off and on for 20 years but never stayed in the Oyster Bay area. This house was perfect for us and our fur babies. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the porches and deck. The weather was cool and rainy but we found plenty to do. We enjoyed watching " our geese family" swimming in the canal, did lots of dog walking, and even found the dog park. Special highlights were an amazing dinner at Bill's, sunset over Chincoteague Bay from park near the high school, and all the ponies and light house and wild life on Aseteague Island. We enjoyed nature cruise hosted by Daisey's Island Cruises, yummy ice cream at Island Creamery, and Chincoteague History Museum.. Will definitely consider staying here again on next trip to the island.
