Very delightful cottage! The owners have done a wonderful job with this rental. It was sparkling clean, very tastefully decorated and all the amenities were top notch including crisp sheets, plush towels and quality dishware. The front porch is massive and if this wasn't enough, there is a comfy screened in porch with eating and sitting areas and cafe lights strung around the perimeter. We really appreciated all of it. So well done. Thank you!

Charming and clean

Comfortable, clean, well decorated, and nicely stocked! Wrap around porch with screened in section was great for enjoying the night air. Back yard is just dark enough for some decent star watching. Walking distance to a lot of attractions and food. Neighborhood is quiet for runs, walks, or bike riding.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully remodeled cottage! The interior is tastefully done, and the landscaping adds charm. The large wrap-around deck was one of our favorite spots — great for relaxing, with a porch swing and a well-furnished screened-in section that includes ceiling fans and lighting.The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, yet within walking distance to shops and restaurants. While there’s no direct water access from the property, a community water entry point is about a 5–7 minute walk away. If you plan to kayak, you’ll need to carry them over or lock them at the launch area.The kitchen is exceptionally well-stocked with new appliances, nice cookware, dishes, and even an organized "junk drawer" with useful extras. There’s no indoor dining table, just a counter with stools — not an issue for us, but something to note. The screened-in porch has a large table that works well for meals.The one bathroom was manageable for our family of four with a little planning. The guest bedroom has no dresser, only a small closet, so unpacking space is limited.Overall, the home is very clean and cozy, clearly maintained with pride. The owners were responsive and helpful, offering prompt answers and great suggestions. A lovely, well-kept cottage in a great location — highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage in Chincoteague

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It was the perfect size for our family of 4 and in a great location. Nice quiet neighborhood. The house was very clean and had a 240 volt outlet outside for EVs (but bring your own charger cord). The host were very friend and responsive. Highly recommended.

Perfect Vacation Rental

Beautifully designed. Everything you could want. Loved the stove. Good location for acess to the park. You'll love this place. It was better than picturedI hesitate to suggest because it was just a perfect stay but a bar in the shower for old folks would be great.

Ponies, Relaxation and Charm

Our family’s getaway to Chincoteague was nothing short of magical. Watching the wild ponies roam freely was wonderful, a sight that never loses its charm no matter how many times we visit. We soaked up the sun on the sandy shores, explored winding nature trails, and embraced every moment of the island’s serene beauty. But some of the best memories were made right at The Starfish - swaying on the porch swing with morning coffee in hand, and sharing laughs and stories with our son on the deck in the afternoon breeze.This was our 3rd stay at The Starfish, and it certainly won’t be our last. Clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated, it provided the ideal setting for a strip filled with relaxation and joy.We left with hearts full and smiles wide!

Amazing time at Starfish

Everything was fantastic. The house is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated. Stocked with nice cookware and everything you need to get your vacation started right. Great location away from the main road, but everything you need is still close. Easy drive in the park to get to the beach and all the sights. Great communication with the hosts for anything we needed. Would recommend this home to anyone without hesitation.

Beautiful house, close to everything

We loved this house in Chincoteague! The rooms were perfect for our family of 4 and the screened porch was a great place to hang out bug-free at night. The quiet streets were safe for the kids to bike on and the large yard and yard games (corn hole, ladder golf) were fun for everyone. Would love to come back!

A wonderful place in an ideal location—even better than advertised. This delightful cottage has been thoroughly modernized and tastefully decorated.

Whether you’re pony-watching, beach-going, wilderness hiking or just getting away from it all, this is the perfect place to stay.
