We had never been to Chincoteague before and wanted just a little grab of beach when we thought the…read morepandemic was ending. Hahaha. Oh remember those days? Anyway we were looking for a place to stay where we could have our older dog with us. He's a nervous guy and unexpected noise (thunder, loud noises, the mailman, dropping my phone from the couch) make him anxious so I was a little worried but it was so quiet! The owners also kindly put us on the first floor (which was also great for me because I've been having some knee/ankle issues) so I really appreciated that. Were there some issues? Sure. The bathroom could use a few more towel hooks, and it's a little musty, but it's also august at the shore after like a week of rain so I'm not holding that against them. The rooms were basic but fine. The location was great. The pool was actually nice and you will get waved at from the people walking by on the sidewalk but they're just jealous you're in a pool and they're not. We didn't use the screened in patio but it looked really nice and gave the entire place a friendly vibe. Plus if you wanted to grill while it was raining you could! Anyway, I thought it was nice. The people that run the motel seem cool and they're doing a fine job.

Good price and appreciated not having to pay for Home-away and Air b&b fees, thanks!!! Would stay again.

It's all good because the migratory waterfowl are here then and it is such an experience to watch them all rise up together in a great cacophony at sunrise. In the evening they return and move around in great flocks to settle down for the night. Once in a while eagles will swoop in and grab one which is quite a sight. Sometimes our extended family will need several townhouses and the big cottage to have our Thanksgiving feast of turkey and fresh local oysters. The Daisey's have a well stocked kitchen for everyone and are always helpful when the occasional need arises as it always does - a crib or something. The heated indoor pool is great for the kids - and adults. And you can't get any closer to the Park Entrance. Perfect for bicycles. This is our 25th year if that tell you how happy we are with The Dove Winds.

Having never been to a Bed and Breakfast before, we weren't really sure what we were getting into…read morewhen we booked here. We found Watson House to be really pleasant, though. The proprietors would have done headstands in the yard if it would have made a guest happy, and the breakfasts were delicious. We were happy to find out that the doors were set up so we could let ourselves in and out without waking up the house if we wanted to do some late-night or early-morning exploring, Watson House is a historic Victorian house, outfitted with antique furniture and decor, which made it all sort of charming. As such, however, the rooms could be a little cramped. (Full disclosure: we did pick the smallest room.) While we were there, there were only a few other people staying, so we definitely got to have our space, but if the place were fully booked, I could imagine it being pretty bustling. For that, I rated Watson House at 4/5, but that's a matter of taste, I think. All in all, we had a nice stay here, and it was definitely a gentle introduction to Bed and Breakfasts.

Our communications with Sherry and staff before arrival were responsive and helpful. The home is simply stunning on the inside and perfect for 2 couples. What put a negative ending on our lovely stay was the attitude of Island Getaways toward personal items left behind. "Throw it away" is their attitude and policy. It is evidently too much hassle for a customer service vacation rental company to facilitate the return of accidentally forgotten belongings to renters - AFTER they have vacated the property. I can't help they cynicism in my thoughts... they have our money, we've left the property spotless, except for our forgotten personal items, and they cannot find the time or generosity to make a phone call to discuss a return using the credit card information they already have. I told them I would pay extra for the box, padding and their time arranging it. My items included about 6 personal 4-8 oz jars of nuts & seeds (collectible glass canning jars) NOT fresh store bought food, and an unopened 32 oz cannister of high quality protein powder. I don't know anyone personally who would intentionally leave personal items behind. I believe that's why it's termed "accidental." I believe people are capable of knowing the difference between store bought fresh food and personal collectible jars filled with pantry items. I believe people realize an unopened cannister of protein powder is fairly expensive. I believe most people are good and kind and generous when given an opportunity to be helpful to others. It turns out even in the off season - when Island Getaways office staff is obviously not as busy as during peak season - it is way too much hassle to carry customer service to the customer AFTER they are no longer on site.

We stayed at Ocean(W) Grove Beach House in Chincoteague Island last year and I will copy and paste…read morewhat I emailed the property. "We were disappointed with the overall cleanliness of the house. A few concerns while settling in: -There are ants all over the kitchen area. -There is also no trash can in the small bathroom downstairs. - barely any hand soap in either bathroom. Thankfully we brought a large bottle of hand soap with us and refilled one of the bottles that was really low. -I also don't see any extra paper towels or kitchen towels or hand towels anywhere in the house. " Their response: "Thank you for taking time to reach out to us about your stay. Despite all of our houses being on a pest control plan, the ants are always a troublesome part of the Chincoteague experience. We recommend that you put all of your food away and do not leave it sitting out. They will be very noticeable otherwise. There is nothing we can really do about the ants. We do keep ant traps here at the office. Please let us know if you would like to stop in and get some. The hand soap is not something we provide with our rentals. If there are soap bottles, they were let from previous guests. We also only provide a starter roll of paper towels and a starter roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Anything beyond that guests would need to bring. If you need any hand towels just let us know. We can put some out for you." The back deck was a mess and unusable. We ended up buying powder to kill the ants and zip lock bags to keep all our food, hand towels and toilet paper, and even with that the ants were EVERYWHERE. When we checked out we got a call asking what the powder was all over the kitchen and I told them, it was ant deterrent and they did not press the issue. I even left the container under the sink since they clearly needed it. I don't know about everyone else but if you pay over $1k to stay in a vacation home for 1 week, you shouldn't be expected to bring toilet paper, paper towels, zip loc bags to keep ants out, hand towels, hand soap, etc. We have rented through Airbnb before in Pennsylvania and did not have to bring any of those items. We have stayed in the area several times at the Best Western and it's always been a pleasurable experience, but I am finding that renting a home is an entirely different thing in that area. It looks like we won't be going back to Chincoteague this year, as most of the homes are not rented by individuals and all the companies I have looked at have poor reviews. So if you want to go, plan really early to find the best places to stay!
