Sunkissed Shores invites you to experience waterfront living at its finest. This expansive four‑bedroom, four‑and‑a‑half‑bathroom retreat sits directly on Chincoteague Bay, offering sweeping water views and unforgettable sunsets from every room. Each bedroom features its own private balcony and ensuite bath, including two king suites on separate levels for added privacy. A cheerful bunkroom provides flexible sleeping for families and groups, and thoughtful touches like two pack ’n plays and a highchair make traveling with little ones effortless.

The heart of the home is the stunning great room, where soaring ceilings and dramatic walls of windows bring the bay right inside. During cooler months, the seasonal fireplace transforms this space into a warm, inviting haven—perfect for watching winter sunsets or enjoying a quiet evening indoors. A fully equipped  kitchen—with generous counter space, quality cookware, and every gadget you could need—makes meal preparation and entertaining a pleasure. Just off the living area, an enclosed all‑weather gazebo opens to a large waterside deck, creating the perfect setting for crab feasts, morning coffee, or simply relaxing as the sky shifts from gold to pink each evening.

Upstairs, the game loft offers entertainment for all ages with a classic 1980s Space Invaders arcade machine, a commercial‑grade 4‑player arcade table with over 2,500 games, a 77" TV, board games, a chess/checkers table, and a giant wall‑mounted Connect 4. A queen sleeper sofa provides additional space for guests, and each upstairs bedroom sits in its own private wing for a peaceful retreat.

Step outside to your private pier, where you can fish, crab, or launch kayaks directly into the bay. The bulkheaded shoreline offers easy access to the water, and the eastern side of the property provides serene sunrise views over the marsh—giving you the rare opportunity to enjoy both sunrise and sunset from the same home. With unmatched views, thoughtful amenities, and room for everyone to unwind, Sunkissed Shores stands apart as a place where memories are made and every day ends with a sunset worth savoring.
