Chincoteague Retreat -- Great offseason rates! in Chincoteague Island

If you like a sense of being away when you go away on vacation, our house is ideal.  It is on 1/3 acre on a dead-end lane, just off Little Oyster Bay.  It is surrounded by 100-year old cedars, spruces and pines.  Even on the busiest weekends it is a wonderfully tranquil place, yet is only about five blocks from the road that takes you to Assateague Island.

We offer great offseason rates. We have 4-day midweek specials available throughout the fall for just $300 total -- you can't find a motel room cheaper than that! Weekends are just $250. 

For birders, our house is ideal.  Because of our location -- surrounded by mature trees, a bay and undeveloped land, you can sit on our screened porch and watch and listen to an extraordinary variety of birds.  We're within walking distance of a very nice nature trail.  And we're very close to the entrance to Assateague Island, which is a wildlife preserve.

The house is very comfortable.  It has two bedrooms and a half bath upstairs.  Downstairs it has a living room with a gas-burning cast-iron stove and a family room/dining room, along with a full bath.  A large screened porch with skylights and a ceiling fan is off the family room.  It looks out onto several willow trees.  There is a second, smaller, enclosed porch off the living room. The kitchen is small but well equipped.  There is an outbuilding that is useful for storing bikes and beach gear, as well as an outdoor shower and a new gas grill. 

The house is fully air conditioned and well heated in the winter. There are also a washer/dryer, a TV with cable, a DVD/VCR player and a stereo that plays CDs and support Ipods.  We have high-speed internet. The house can sleep six, with two double beds in one bedroom, two new twin beds in the other bedroom (which can be put together into a king, for which there are sheets and a comforter), and a full-size futon downstairs. 
We have a housekeeper clean between rentals. 

There is great biking and walking from our house.  We are a half-mile from a new nature trail.  There is a public boat launch a half mile away.  There are restaurants and shops on Maddox Blvd., five blocks away.  The stores along Main Street are about a mile away, five minutes by car. 

The beaches are on Assateague Island, which is a national wildlife preserve with no development.  There are miles of biking and walking trails on the island. We are relatively close to the entrance to Assateague, which is 5-7 minutes away by car.
