I daresay our experience at Colonial Manor goes beyond even those scant bouts of exemplary service. Our accommodations were delightful, the atmosphere is second-to-none, and don't even get me started on what an incredible deal it was (I won't belabor the subject but it's well below the rate of the industry standard for far above the level of service which these establishments would provide). We felt very welcome, and were quite pleased with the degree of flexibility in which our stay was tailored to our needs. We did not worry once during the trip as we felt ourselves to be in expert hands. Our gracious hosts, themselves the embodiment of southern charm and hospitality, provided us with meals I'll never forget and with such immersive and knowledgeable stories that they will be forever used as a benchmark for others to live up to. We have since returned home, only to find ourselves utterly spellbound and captivated by the experience. How often is it that you return from a vacation truly relaxed and refreshed anymore? We most certainly will be back and could not even begin to attest to just how completely delightful this experience has been for us. Thank you again!

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.

I made an overnight visit to Chincoteague Island last month to attend my 50th high school reunion…read more Yep. I'm that old. Chincoteague was where I went to high school, and I lived there for five years. While planning my trip, I contacted a number of hotels and motels. The Seahawk Motel was the one that gave me the best rate. And so my reservation was made. Since I review mostly restaurants, I originally did not plan on a review of the Seahawk Motel. As a result, I did not take any photos. However, a number of attractive photos are featured on their web site linked below: http://seahawkchincoteague.com/ My drive from Norfolk took me about two-and-a-half hours. After crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, I drove at a leisurely pace until I made a pit stop at Stuckey's, located along Route 13 on the right in the town of Mappsville. I always stop into Stuckey's when driving over to the Eastern Shore. It makes for a nice rest area, and I always enjoy looking at their fireworks displays. I made a second stop at T's Corner in Oak Hall to top off my gas tank. This is where you make a right hand turn onto VA-175 East, also known as Chincoteague Road, and which leads directly to the island. The Wallops Flight Facility is located along VA-175. Formerly known as the Chincoteague Naval Air Station, it was acquired by NASA in 1959. I worked there during the summers while attending college. The name was changed to the Wallops Flight Facility in 1981 when it became part of the Goddard Space Flight Facility. About a little more than halfway along Chincoteague Road, I reached the John B. Whealton Memorial Causeway, which is more commonly known to the locals as the Chincoteague Causeway. It was rebuilt and completed in 2010. The original Causeway, which was in use during my high school years, stopped directly into downtown Chincoteague at Main Street. The new one stops at the intersection of Main Street and Maddox Boulevard, which leads directly to my motel, as well as to the Assateague Island National Wildlife Refuge. After reaching Main Street, I proceeded straight ahead along Maddox Boulevard. The Seahawk Motel is located less than a mile away on the right. It sports a colorful orange roof that is hard to miss. Across the street is the Island Creamery, which is Chincoteague's only homemade ice cream shop. It first opened in 1975 and is rated by another social media site as the number one ice cream shop in the United States. I meant to stop in, but it didn't happen. I'll be sure to do so during my next visit. The Seahawk Hotel is an old-fashioned Mom and Pop style motel, operated by Brenda and Carey Watson, both of whom are natives of Chincoteague Island. They treated me well and with a lot of hospitality. Outdoor amenities include a pool, shaded picnic areas with tables and chairs, a gas grill, a playground for children with swings included, bike racks, and plenty of parking for extra cars, boats, and trailers. Two-bedroom units and efficiencies are also available. The motel is also dog friendly. In fact, the operators have a friendly dog of their own, whose name is Abby, and who keeps a watchful eye on the office when they are off the premises. My room came with two Queen sized beds, cable TV, free WiFi. a microwave oven, a small refrigerator, and a coffee pot. My room was impeccably clean, and the bathroom was well furnished with clean towels. The beds were well made, and the one I slept in was more comfortable than the one I have at home. In fact, it was more comfortable than some of the beds I have slept in at a few higher end hotels elsewhere. Their window unit AC also cranked out a crisper level of coolness than my central air unit at home. As soon as I checked into my room, I unpacked and took a nap to rest up for my reunion, which was held at a local restaurant that evening. I slept like a baby, both during my nap and when I went to bed after the reunion. The Seahawk Motel has been described as a "no frills" motel. It actually contained more frills than I needed and used. I didn't even turn on the TV during my stay. Since I don't drink coffee, I didn't use the coffee pot. The Seahawk Motel provided me everything I could possibly want and ask for in a motel. I left early in the morning for my return to Norfolk. The proprietors hadn't arrived yet, so I dropped my keys in their mailbox, as instructed to do so. I drove straight home without any stops and arrived back to Norfolk in just a little over two hours. The Seahawk Motel provided me with a most relaxing overnight stay, and it will be my lodging of choice when I make my next trip to Chincoteague. In closing, I want to thank Brenda and Carey Watson for their warm and friendly hospitality, as well as for their exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained accommodations.

Minor Cons that would only make this place even better: the check in needs work, we got a text saying the room was ready and mobile key so when we arrived we went right to the room wit the mobile key. Late that night the mobile key no longer worked and we were locked out and calling the front desk for half an hour only to find out they have check in info and hard keys at the front desk. That should be mentioned in the check in text instead of to head right to your room. Major con for my husband and he would have given if three stars for how annoyed he was by the TVs-None of the TVs work - the remotes are absurd and channels don't correlate to the guide that pops up, and the tv has only basic cable and a few channels- all the streaming apps are present but blocked somehow. Theyre exceptionally hard to navigate. For a bungalow at the beach, sometimes you want to watch tv. Also wish terribly that they had a hot tub, seems like a big miss for such a great resort! Lastly, the set up at least of our cottage was weird, the TV and couch were against the windows so you were looking at a wall, not the nice sunset and bay which was behind you. Overall, very clean, immaculate grounds, and incredible resort a-z.

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.
