Great Stay in Chincoteague

We had an amazing week in Chincoteague staying at The Starfish! The house was the perfect size for the four of us. Everything was clean and the host provided a few extras - Bluetooth speaker, boogie boards, and lots of board games. Will definitely stay at the Starfish when we return to Chincoteague!

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.

The “Starfish House” sparkles!

This house is the essence of well-executed simple design, inside and out! From location, architecture, landscaping and interior design, to amenities, necessities and owner support, the Starfish House was a delightful vacation home for us to enjoy charming Chincoteague and Assateague.

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!

Upon arrival was pleased to see how clean and neat the property was both inside and out. Everything we needed was easy to find and in good condition. Loved the deck and screened in porch. The set up with the tvs was also well thought out. If I get the chance to return to this area, I will try and stay at this property again.

Perfect bungalow near refuge

It was the perfect size house for just the two of us. It was newly renovated and very clean. The kitchen was really great with new higher end appliances. The neighborhood was quiet with easy access to the wildlife refuge and a bike rental company. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

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!

Super relaxing...

Cute cottage, great spaces and a wonderful kitchen. Great spot with amazing little details and calming color scheme - relax and read a book or watch a show, sit on the front swing and listen to the birds. Lots of option - plan to come back soon.
