  Jennifer P from Claverack, New York recommends this vacation rental

  We had a delightful stay in Chincoteague! The weather was perfect for swimming and biking and the house exceeded our expectations. It was clean and very well appointed. Management was helpful and very upbeat. We particularly enjoyed learning about the history of Mr. Miles Hancock, decoy carver and market hunter and visited his workshop at the Museum. Ocean, ponies and seafood, who could want anything more!

  We rented a cottage in Chincoteague which was at the end of a quiet dead end street. Our small kids had a great time playing in the yard. The cottage was clean, well furnished, and had an excellent kitchen with everything we needed. Key pick up and drop off was easy. Recommend this rental and this company!

  Loved our stay at this historic Chincoteague cottage. It was lovingly restored and decorated. It had everything we needed including an outdoor shower and screened in porch, where we ate most of our meals. The location was good, very close to Maddox Boulevard, restaurants and souvenir shopping. It was clean and well taken care of. Access to the channel docks would have been nice. My only complaint was the mattresses were terrible. They definitely need to be replaced.

  We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend staying at the Hancock House. This is what a vacation should be: peace and quiet when you need it, but close enough to the beach and action on Maddox Blvd and Main Street. This lovely house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We’ll be back again!

  Wonderfully restored historic property in a quiet location but close to everything on Chincoteague Island. Spotlessly clean with very friendly owners (across the road). We cycled around the island and Assateague refuge enjoying the varied wildlife, beaches and also the Creamery !

  We have stayed at the Hancock every year since it's been available and we love everything about it. Especially this year, with the need to social distance, the screened porch and the two other outside seating areas were perfect. The house is VERY well equipped for your stay and charming in every way.

  We decided to rent this cottage at the last moment because in need of diversion and quiet. We found the perfect place. The house is really beautiful, with a nice historical flavor. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the enclosed patio. We definitely are looking forward to the next time we will be able to return to this little gem of a place.

  a guest from MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Hancock House is a lovely historic Chincoteague home that has been lovingly restored to honor the memory of famous decoy carver Miles Hancock (1887-1974). His workshop, formerly on site, now awaits the visitor at the Museum of Chincoteague, where it helps explain the heyday of “market hunting.” Appalling to us today, killing ducks and geese in huge numbers was one way that the local watermen could survive in hard times. For two old friends, this was the perfect place to stay on Chincoteague, with two spacious bedrooms (beds had excellent mattresses), a large outside screened porch(there had been a mosquito explosion in the wake of Hurricane Dorian’s passing), comfortable living room and wonderful well-equipped kitchen and dining room. The half bath upstairs, where the bedrooms are, was a real boon. Nothing is far from anything else on Chincoteague, but this was the first time we had stayed north of the town center, and we liked it very much, would definitely return.

  The best house we have rented in Chincoteague. Lovely, charming, feels like home. The screened porch is amazing. The outside shower extra comfortable. Every little thing is perfect and full of historic character, yet practical. The kitchen and bathroom are updated and felt luxurious for a summer rental. 👌��💕 will be staying at Hancock House many more times hopefuly!
