Charming Chincoteague coastal cottage doesn't even begin to describe this place, but it's a start. Cheery, bright, and colorful - with some form of island history gracing every nook and cranny. Find the perfect mix of old and new in this unique home. Close enough to the main drag on Maddox Boulevard and Main Street - but out of the hurly-burly here on Ocean Boulevard. Wake up a few minutes before everyone else and head across the street to get fresh donuts from Mister Whippy or chocolate croissants from Amarin to surprise everyone with. You'll be the hero for the day, until someone else brings home oysters that night. Oh, and bring your furry friends along, because this one's PET FRIENDLY! This property features lots of nooks for sleeping spaces - a loft upstairs, featuring skylights that let the bright island sunshine flood in. Up here you'll find a cozy king size bed in one room, and two twins in another, with a full bath that features a gorgeous tiled stand up shower. Downstairs you'll find two more bedrooms - one with two twins, and the other with a king. Three different comfortable living areas, one of which is an outdoor sunroom - and that room has doors that connects to the downstairs king - in addition to the main living area. Small backyard area for letting the puppies play or eating lunch outside at the picnic table. The retro mid-century kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare that island seafood dinner with what you catch down at the town dock, and a lovely dining area to enjoy it as a family. Donovan's Reef is located in the heart of downtown Chincoteague, allowing you an easy walk to all the shopping the island has to offer. Stop by Chincotiki on your way home and grab an orange crush or two!

Welcome to your next happy place in the heart of the Bay Creek community — Compass Bay Retreat! This charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo that's ready and waiting for you to arrive and start enjoying your best coastal vacation.

This gem sits in one of Virginia's Eastern Shore's most sought-after communities within Cape Charles, and honestly, it's easy to see why. Bay Creek is home to world-famous golf courses, sparkling pools, a fitness and life center, scenic walking trails, and private beaches. Yeah, you read that right — private beaches. Whether you're teeing off at sunrise, taking a sunset stroll along the shore, or just lounging poolside with a good book, there's never a shortage of ways to unwind here.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable layout with three bedrooms that give everyone their own space to spread out and relax. The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat after long days spent exploring the shore, and the two full bathrooms keep morning routines running smoothly — even when the whole crew is getting ready at once.

Pet owners, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome here, so bring the whole family along for the adventure. There's plenty of room for everyone to feel right at home.

The location is tough to beat. You're just a short drive from the Cape Charles Natural Area Preserve, perfect for nature lovers who enjoy birdwatching and hiking. Grocery runs are a breeze with Food Lion nearby, and the iconic Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is within easy reach for those days when you want to explore beyond the shore.

This is the kind of place where weekdays feel like weekends and every evening ends with a golden sky over the bay. Don't let this one slip by - book your stay today!
