Family Tides - The tans may fade, but the memories last forever!

Looking for somewhere truly special to spend your Chincoteague Island Family Vacation this year? Look no further, as special doesn't even begin to describe the tranquility and beauty of waterfront Family Tides. This adorable home is located directly on Lewis Creek's deep water, so by all means, bring the boat, kayaks, jet skis, or water toy of choice! With sweeping views of the Marsh, Canal, and Chincoteague Bay, you will feel as if you have found paradise.

Family Tides has all of the touches and charm of a historic island home that you love, plus the modern amenities you need. Located in a fabulous location on Main Street, you can walk or ride your bike almost everywhere you want to be. This adorable 3 Bedroom/1.5 Bath home comfortably sleeps 8, with more than enough room both inside and out to enjoy time together.

As you pull into the driveway, you already know how much you're going to love sitting on the wraparound Front Porch and taking in the Island Views. And you won't have to worry about little ones on the porch, as it is gated for their safety and your peace of mind. Upon entering this delightful home, the Coastal Colors, Exposed Beam Ceiling, and charming Painted Floors will just delight you. Family Tides has a large Living Area with a wall of windows facing the water. With Free WiFi, Satellite Flat Screen TV, and brand new AC/Heat, this is a fabulous place to relax after a fun-filled day on the Beach. And you won't be sacrificing those Water Views to do it - you can take them in right from the comfort of the sofa! Little ones will find hours of enjoyment playing with the Lincoln Logs and blocks the thoughtful owners have provided. Family Tides was recently purchased by a family who fell in love with this one-of-a-kind home while staying in it as Vacationers themselves! There is also a super convenient Half Bath on the main level of this cozy cottage.

Open the double French Doors and stroll out to your own private waterfront paradise! Family Tides has an awesome Bulkhead suitable to tie up anything from a 16 foot Skiff to a 30 foot boat, and a huge Waterfront Deck with relaxing Adirondacks for taking in those famous Chincoteague Sunsets. There is even a Picnic Table for dining Al Fresco - what a perfect spot for a Crab Feast!
The kids will have a blast fishing and crabbing, and you won't believe the wildlife you will see - everything from Herons, Egrets, and Eagles, to Dolphins, Turtles, and more! The thoughtful Owners have also provide a couple of kayaks for exploring, and some beach chairs so you don't have to pack so much!

Family Tides has several other areas for enjoying family mealtime, as well. Just off the Living Area is an open Dining Area that seats 4-6. As you wander down the hall, you'll find a large Eat-in Kitchen with absolutely everything you need to make family dinners a bay breeze. All of the charm of painted bead-board Country Cabinets and floors, plus every gadget and convenience you could want, including that ever-treasured dishwasher! The large table seats 6, and there is even a little breakfast nook. Don't feel like cooking on vacation? Take a stroll down the street to one of many awesome dining establishments and try our famous salty, sweet Chincoteague Oysters or a traditional Fried Flounder Sandwich. With any luck, you'll be having a fish-fry of your own with the Flounder you catch in your own backyard!

Upstairs are 3 Bedrooms, each with a delightful uniqueness you will love. Turning to the left at the top of the stairs, you'll find the Library with fabulous Built-in Bookcases and lots of storage. This room opens to the enormous Master Bedroom that will take your breath away. A comfortable King Bed awaits you, and you're very own Waterfront Sitting Area with comfy Wicker Furniture and another wall of windows overlooking Lewis Creek below. Just imagine enjoying your morning coffee here before anyone else is stirring. Soaring ceilings and more Exposed Beams make this room a very special place to wake up every morning.

We loved our stay at Family Tides. The only improvement would be better mattresses (softer) for the bunk beds and double bed.

My husband and I rented this house for our 40th anniversary trip to Chincoteague Island, VA, based on a referral by friends…and it did not disappoint! Great location, easy access to everything, had everything we needed!

We had a great time fishing out back! The house was beautiful and the little ones loved to run and play on the wrap around front porch and out back in the sand. Very cozy.

We had a great weekend at Family Tides. The house is within walking distance to the Island Creamery and the Downtown area. The kitchen has all the equipment/utensils needed to cook great meals, the large book collection was enjoyed as much as the toys and games available. Our kids appreciated especially the outside area and the dock at the back of the house.

Fresh updates to a cozy historical house made this very comfortable, but also plugged in with the overall vibe in Chincoteague. We enjoyed sitting out on the wraparound porch, sitting down by the water, and even just catching the sunset from the master bedroom. A couple games and toys were more than enough for our kids to enjoy. While it may be true anywhere on the island, we really loved being a short drive or walk from everything we wanted to do.

If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is certainly a place to check out. We've stayed twice over the past two months and have really enjoyed the community and everything the home has to offer -- especially the private dock. The home is perfect for grilling out and catching beautiful sunsets, while still being close enough to wonderful local eateries for takeout.

We enjoyed our stay in Chincoteague; the water view in the back is fantastic and the home is very comfortable for relaxing. One cautionary not is that you will need to bring your own towels and soap - we did not realize that until after we arrived.

We really had a wonderful time at Family Tides. I agree with all positive comments people have posted here. Our little kids also greatly enjoyed books when they needed little rest. Great selections! Jeong

Lovely stay in this charming home on the creek on the island of Chincoteague. Home is comfortably updated, furnished and stocked with everything needed - including beach accessories. The creek this home sits on is quick moving, so families be ready with life preservers for kiddos who may tend to get close to the edge of the dock. Fun to watch the fishing boats float by and see some wildlife across the water!

Your property was an excellent choice for family members from out of town. We celebrated Christmas here on the island early and needed extra space to comfortably accommodate our entire family. This property was a perfect solution.🎄🎄🎄

We enjoyed the house and location on our stay this spring. We enjoyed walking around the waterfront and playground fun in between trips to the Wildlife Refuge and seashore. The house was clean, had well stocked kitchen supplies, laundry machines that worked great and helpful additions such as nightlights, games and books. Just an off-season note, I would have brought more blankets as we came in chilly weather and bed blankets all relatively light for washability for COVID protocol. Thanks for a such nice getaway.

We had been to Chincoteague a few years ago and have been wanting to go back ever since. Our family has grown and we were looking for a place to take our 2 and 5 year olds. This was perfect. The house was clean, everyone had their own rooms, and the toys topped it off. My 5 year old loved taking the tandem kayak out in the bay and fishing from the dock. It was close enough to walk to ice cream and restaurants. Definitely will be a top choice of houses to rent when we go on our next vacation.

We visited Chincoteague for a long weekend over veteran’s day. The house was very comfortable. We’ll appointed kitchen and access to streaming services on the TVs. A short drive to Asateague island for beach, hiking trails, and ponies. About a 10 minute walk to restaurants on the other side of Main Street. Always get oysters!!! One restaurant, Chicotiki was still open for out door dining. Great to watch the sunset. The best feature was the dock out back. Great place for coffee in the morning and bird watching. Super quiet.

This is a beautiful property in a great location. The house is much larger than the pictures show, so it was perfect for 2 "well-aged" women, 2 thirty somethings, an 11 year old, and a 5 year old. The master bedroom is big enough for a small family(!), and the bunk bed is cozy, with a good amount of space. The third bedroom is a double bed, and it's tiny, but had plenty of space for a single person. We got full use of the outdoors, and had a lot of fun fishing off the deck and kayaking. It was lovely to do our thing all day, only to arrive back at the house to enjoy the outdoors even more.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Family Tides. The sandy area in the yard was perfect for entertaining the kids and my husband enjoyed paddle boarding from the dock. Since it was April, it was quite chilly at night, so we were thankful we brought extra blankets. There was a dishwasher, but it was very old, which did not make us want to use it. The washer and dryer were very helpful, especially with kids (you just need to bring your own detergent as there wasn’t any at the house). The master bedroom was spacious and comfortable, and it was definitely the best room of the house. Our kids really enjoyed the record player in the living room and the toys!
