Island Retreat - Lovely Marsh Views and Pet Friendly!

Travel - the only thing you pay for that makes you richer. But, you don't have to break the bank to have the Vacation of your Dreams on Chincoteague Island - welcome to fabulous Island Retreat! This adorable Duplex sleeps 7 in comfort and style, has amazing Water Views, AND welcomes your family's dog!

Island Retreat is in the perfect location, just off of Maddox Boulevard, aka the Beach Road - you can walk or ride your bike to many, Restaurants, Shops, and Activities up and down the Boulevard, and the Beach is a short bike ride away. And driving down the sleepy dirt road to the Cottage, you will know right away you won't be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the busy season. This Retreat is located at the very end of Megan Drive, tucked away in a quiet nook overlooking Eel Creek. 

As you climb the stairs to enter Island Retreat, you can't take your eyes off those Views - breathtaking, to say the least.  You'll love relaxing in the spacious Living Area with Flat Screen Cable TV and Free WiFi, but you may never need them with the Water Views you have - even right from the sofa. Comfortably furnished, the Living Area is perfect for spending time with those who matter most, without ever feeling crowded. Begin and end each day on the huge Screened Porch, which lines the back of the Retreat. Listen to the Tree Frogs sing, and take in salty, sweet bay breezes. Just imagine watching the Herons and Egrets fish for their morning meal as you sip coffee on the Porch. 

Just off the Living Area is the well-equipped Kitchen and Dining Area. The Chef in your family will love the Stainless Appliances and how well-stocked the Kitchen is. Dine indoors, or Al Fresco on the Porch at the large Dining Table. Not one to cook on Vacation? No worries - you're just a hop, skip, and jump away from many popular Dining options. 

Just down the Hall are 2 spacious Bedrooms gorgeously decorated. Bedroom 1 has a comfy Queen Bed, whimsical Coastal Art, and Colors of Sea Grass & Sand Dunes. Bedroom 2 is perfect for the kids with a Pyramid Bunk and Vibrant Colors - so inviting. There is also a Full Bath with Tub/Shower Combo, and a Full Size Washer and Dryer.  Wandering upstairs, the Master Suite will knock your socks off, and encompasses the entire upper level. With Serene Blue and Beachy Beige, it's warm and relaxing. There is another Queen Bed, as well as a Sitting Area with Flat Screen Cable TV AND a Private Water View Balcony with big Adirondacks just calling your name. And the Views from here? Spectacular - just imagine waking to this every day.  The large Master Bath has a Tub/Shower Combo and is bright and cheerful. 

And what makes this even more of a Family Vacation is being able to bring your Furbaby along! Your pup will love lounging on the Balcony in the Sunshine, or long walks down the Lane. Isn't this what Vacations are all about? Spending time with those you love - including Fido!

Totally peaceful
This is a gorgeous location, right on the marsh, in a quiet neighborhood but just blocks from restaurants & shops. We were perfectly comfortable & enjoyed watching the geese & herons on the water. We’ll be back!

Wonderful experience
We could not have been happier with our stay. Everything (except food) we needed was provided, the accommodations were clean, well maintained and thoroughly enjoyable and just as represented. We like it so much that we booked again for next year!

Lovely marsh view
House wasn't as isolated as I'd anticipated from the listing, nor did I understand that it was a duplex. But it didn't really matter. Our stay was wonderful. Great sunrises and sunsets from the upper balcony and comfortable beds. The upper bedroom suite was beautiful. Great birdwatching opportunities. One morning I heard splashing in the marsh. Seven deer were cavorting and having a great time chasing each other.

Poor maintenance
The place was nice until we started to check things out before we brought in our luggage. The first thing we noticed was that the cleanliness that they say is a professional service is not to what I expected. The shower curtains in guest and master were moldy, the guest bathroom had mold on the ceiling above toilet in guest bathroom and the smell of piss in the guest bathroom when you walked in was noticeable.There were cobwebs on the coffee pot and on ceiling fan in kitchen. There was water downed hand soap in master bathroom. These may seem minor but when you claim PROFESSIONAL CLEANJNG SERVICE

Beautiful View
We loved the view from both the screened porch and the balcony. The property is close to many attractions, restaurants, and the Chincoteague refuge.

As Birders, we loved our view of the marsh.
The house was lovely. Everything worked; and the location was perfect. If its available, I would rent it again.
