We enjoyed our stay at Family Tides. The house was exactly like the pics in the advertisement. If you are looking for a quiet location, amazing views and a wonderful place to stay. This house has it all!
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.
This home lived up to it's name Family tides, everything was comfortable as if you were home. We enjoyed being able to go out the back door to fish (kids really loved this). I wish there was outside lighting in the back to enjoy sitting after dark. We would definitely return in the future
Honestly, this rental ended up being perfect. Communication beforehand was excellent and everything was set up for our check-in. The house has quite an impressive library of books, a buttoning games, and a well stocked kitchen. The layout works pretty well for a larger family or a couple smaller families to share. The backyard and dock were perfect for relaxing evenings with the sunset and it’s close enough to downtown that you can walk in. I have zero complaints about this experience. I would highly recommend this rental to any family or friends and if I return will 100% stay here again.
Family Tides is absolutely amazing. From the breathtaking view of the waterfront to the cleanliness of the property, everything was spectacular. We spent so much time fishing off the dock and taking in the scenery from the deck. We will be back!
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!
The house is a great place to spend a week recharging with your family. Clean and well appointed. Close to shopping and restaurants. The backyard and dock out back was the highligt of the property!
What a great place for our short stay in Chincoteague! Walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. Nice views and less than a mile from Island Nature Trail and juat a short walk to a waterfront park. House was clean and cozy. Great experience.
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.
Very nice! As advertised. Only negative was the floors weren’t the cleanest, which is understandable due to sandy area. Overall great place! We had a brief power outage one night that locked out the AC. I text them and it was fixed while we was out vacationing right away
