We absolutely loved the location of the property - so walkable and bikeable to so many fun things, and nestled in a neighborhood with a great vibe. Easy communication with the host when we needed it, too.
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Did a day at the wildlife refuge and spent some time on the beach. Plan to come back and enjoy another stay.
We had a great time in Chincoteagu. House is in a great location and is very well maintained. Host is very easy to get in touch with. Would stay here again!
We stayed for 3 nights in this comfortable home. Plenty of space for all 5 of us (4 adults and 1 teen) to cook easy breakfasts, lunches, and bake cookies, play board games, as well as a great home base for walking to restaurants, shopping, and heading out for nature walks, boat tours. We very much enjoyed our stay. Easy communication with owners, too.
We booked this last min and I’m so glad we found it. Very conveniently located to downtown, it made it easy to explore the island. The property was super clean and the hosts were very organized. We only had three people but this could easily fit a larger family. Would absolutely recommend.to others.
Enjoyed staying at the place with some friends and colleagues— the place was clean and cutely decorated. The bikes were nice and wish we had time for the kayaks but we were working for part of the weekend! Thanks for the stay ! Cheers!
Stayed in the off season when it's nice and quiet. The home was well kept, clean, and nicely situated. Owners were solid, and very responsive to the one issue we had (a sticking side entrance storm door - taken care of quickly). Comfortable bed, cozy couches, and a clean kitchen. Can't ask for better on a weekend retreat.
We had a great stay with our family of six- kids aged 9-14. Having the bikes was a hit for the teens to be able to roam to get ice cream or to fish at the park. It was clean and cozy. The host did a great job communicating before and during our stay. If we get to Chincoteague again, will definitely check here for available!
Sir Whelk-a-Lot was the cutest little cottage on Chincoteague Island. It was centrally located on the island and easily located. The house was clean and welcoming and easily accommodated the 4 of us during the weekend.The hosts were fabulous to work with and they provided everything we needed!If you're looking for a weekend getaway, this is a great place. I think we'll return in the future!
Stayed the here with my adult daughters for my birthday weekend. Great location for walking to many interesting shops and restaurants. The beach was lovely and we enjoyed the trails in the park. The house is comfortable, clean, and we enjoyed having three beds upstairs that we could use for a girls sleepover.
We would rent this property again if in the area.
We loved the location of this home. It’s within walking distance of many places and an easy drive to the beach. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet. Communication with the owner could not have been smoother. She was extremely responsive and couldn’t have been more accommodating. We enjoyed a lovely week there and would stay again.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and in super condition, the bedrooms are great so everyone can enjoy some quiet time and privacy. Loads of beach gear provided, games as well. Location convenient to get to beach, shopping, mainland bridge, boat trips and eating out. Very much enjoyed the evening sun sitting on the swing on the front porch.
Sir Whelk a Lot worked out great for the 4 of us. The upstairs has 3 beds and its own bathroom, so it was like having a separate suite. The steps are narrow, so you have to be careful. Great location
Beautifully decorated. Loved the layout - it flowed well. Everything was in good working order. Owners have excellent communication and there’s a nice surprise at the end of the visit which I won’t spoil. Located in the downtown area close to shopping
This property is immaculate, clearly loved by its owners, and very nicely set up for gatherings. The living room has 3 sofas and coffee table in an open plan with a large dining table on the other side. The kitchen is furnished with an abundance of stylish dishes and plenty of silverware and cookware. There is a large island between the kitchen and dining room for storage and food preparation. The washer and dryer were a great convenience. My family especially appreciated the upper level that has 3 beds and two sofas with a bathroom at one end. This attic room has an extra air conditioner in addition to the whole house A/C, keeping us comfortable the whole time. The stairs are very narrow but have a railing. The lower level has a beautiful bedroom with a queen bed, a bathroom, and a room with bunk beds. The bunks are better for children due to low headspace above the lower bunk. The front porch has a swing that my family enjoyed plus 5 bicycles. We were excited about the kayaks but were too busy to use them. There is a nice outside shower with warm water to wash the sand off. This is a beautiful home and I hope to rent it again in the future.
We went for a quick weekend getaway to Chincoteague. Great location and comfortable stay. Hosts were very prompt with responses to emails. No problems whatsoever. Everything we needed. Thanks for the use of your home.
My family loved our stay at Chincoteague. The Sir-Whelk-A-Lot house was comfortable, clean, and had every detail included that you would need. They thought of everything! 10,000/10.
This Island House meets all expectations for anyone looking for a beach getaway including a couple, couples, or a family. The addition of bikes, kayaks, and everything needed for a day at the beach adds to the value. The house is an easy 5 mile drive or bike ride from the beach and the neighborhood is in an imminently walkable area of town. You will have plenty of walkable options for eating and sightseeing from this house.
This house served our group really well. It’s clean, spacious, and in a fantastic location to walk to shops along the main street. It’s in a quiet location, but in a perfect spot for activities. You can explore the beach and forest all day and this is the perfect place to relax and revive. There is an outdoor shower to wash the beach off after a day in the sun. You can’t go wrong staying here. It’s hard to have a bad time on Chincoteague island. This house will accelerate your wonderful stay.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property! We had a group of 8 total, 4 kids and 4 adults.
There was plenty of room for everyone! The inside was very clean and inviting. Owners are very easy to work with and respond quickly to any questions or concerns. Couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience, made it very easy to relax and enjoy the vacation!
