  Our time in Chincoteague was great. We experienced a great balance of rest and stuff to do.
  The house was ok. There were a number of small issues and one notable one. The notable one was mold in one of the bedrooms and the adjacent half bath. There was a lot of very visible mold in the bathroom, rendering the room unusable to us. I mentioned this to the staff at the desk upon checkout and they seemed to know about it and showed a lack of concern.
  The smaller items were things like not having an appropriate number of keys (we ended up only with workable keys for one of the houses doors), renting king-sized sheets that turned out to not fit the king-sized bed, and being charged a cleaning fee while also having to do most of the cleaning prior to checkout.
  I'm not the kind to leave a "negative" review, but there were enough things that it added up to being noteworthy. Perhaps their other properties are in better condition, but ours left us wanting.

  We have been staying at Shearwater for many years now. Each year, we are able to enjoy the charmingly decorated house, the walking distanceto restaurants and shops, and the quiet life that is Chincoteague. The property is as described - clean and well equipped. We truly love Shearwater and will be back next summer!

  We loved our stay at Shear Waters! It was wonderful. We loved the fenced backyard for our dog and that it is so dog friendly, even provided a crate! We would definitely recommend Shear Waters. Cant wait to come back to your beautiful island.

  We are always pleased to return to ShearWater for our summer pilgrimage to the beach. It is such a lovely house with wonderful amenities (the outdoor shower came in handy) on a quiet street that is walkable to the shops and restaurants downtown.

  Great house just perfect for us. Three teenagers, two adults and a dog fit perfectly. The fenced backyard was great. Loved the all the reading nooks. Loved the history of the house; a fishing cottage from the 1820's! Could see the bay from the front yard.

  Tina Marie R from La Plata, MD recommends this vacation rental

  My family enjoyed this darling cottage that was dog friendly. The location could not have been better, especially with Main Street just a few blocks away. You could walk to restaurants or just meander through the small shops. The house was clean and comfortable. The fenced in back yard was a bonus for our 12 year old lab. I loved the "non hustle and bustle" feeling of this small town. We had plenty of naps on the beach, watched beautiful sunsets-did a whole lot of nothing and enjoyed every minute of it! We can't wait to go back next summer.

  a guest from Suffolk, VA recommends this vacation rental

  our overall vacation experience was great. The property is in an excellent location for both walks to downtown and to the fairgrounds. The pet friendliness was terrific as the backyard was fenced in for our dog's pleasure. The one complaint was that although the cleaning person had done her job, the previous tenants had not cleaned up behind a dog or cat as there was evidence in the closed in porch and on the tablecloth. I think the cleaning person should have seen this and remedied the situation.

  Once again, my family was treated to an enjoyable week in Chincoteague and the neighboring island of Assateague. We were delighted with the upgrades done to Shear Water ... the new fence, the upgraded AC, and the great beach inspired art. The house, with its close location to shops and restaurants, is always our favorite!

  This is our second stay at Shear Water, and we loved it even more this year. We love the long counter in the kitchen, the fenced yard and outside shower. We love the short walk to town/to the pier and the park. We only wish this were our forever home!!
