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

An excellent stay on best island on earth.
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.

Great place for family of 6!
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!

Perfect Getaway Location
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.

A Delight!
Sir-Whelks-A lot was a true delight for my husband and my getaway to Chincoteague. The property owner was so easy to communicate with and had everything ready for us to enjoy. It was such a value added that they provided kayaks which we enjoyed on two separate outing. Bikes were also available. The house was clean and comfortable and the decor was so fun! The location was perfect. We walked to shops and restaurants for breakfast and dinner. The beaches and surrounding areas are so beautiful. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Great Location
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.

Delightful Short Stay at Sir-Whelk-A-Lot
It had been several years since the family visited Chincoteague and our stay at Sir-Whelk-A-Lot was a fantastic way to become reacquainted with the community. It's location and proximity to main town attractions made walking to our destinations a breeze, and for longer journeys, four bicycles are provided to use. The place is very clean and has every amenity one needs. The owners go out of their way to make one feel right at home. Too bad our stay was not longer. Highly recommend folks stay at Sir-Whelk-A-Lot if spending any time in Chincoteague.

Adorable Cottage Close to Everything!
We loved our getaway on Chincoteague island! The cottage is comfy and the front porch lovely! We rode bikes offered by the owners all around the downtown area! We could also walk to nearby shops and restaurants on Main St. The gorgeous beach of Assateague was only a 10 minute drive! Be sure to get pastries and coffee at AmaRin and delicious hand-made ice cream at Island Creamery--both on Maddox Blvd!

Very centrally located!
Overall, our stay at this property was great. There were a couple of minor hiccups, but the owner/manager was very prompt with remedying the issue. The location is fantastic- we walked to most restaurants and shops and when it came time to rent some bikes to explore Chincoteague and Assateague, it was a 6 minute drive to the place to get them. The property was beyond clean and I loved that all the mattresses have covers on them for your own bedsheets. It was also nice having things available like 5 bikes to ride, blowdryers, lots of tv options, etc. Overall, a fantastic location and home to explore the islands!
