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! \- Linens and towels are included with your reservation. \- No smoking is permitted on the premises. \- This property is pet friendly with a pet fee per pet.

Basic kitchen and house amenities and a great location, close to the Maddox Street and Main Street. The slightly lower score is for service as we reported some broken items that were not fixed during our stay. They were not major issues so not a big deal.

It works well for 3 adults and 2 children. It was nice to see the changes that happened since we were there 2 years ago. The new couch is much more comfortable and the updated bathrooms are lovely. The location is very convenient to everything. We love renting from Chincoteague Resort Reality. Our stay was relaxing and just what my son-in-law who just came back from a 9-month deployment in Kuwait and my daughter needed. There was a problem with getting the towels we’d paid for and the employee went out and bought towels and delivered them within hours. Coming back after the pandemic has made it difficult for companies to get help so this was particularly noteworthy. ##### Donna S.

We loved your older house and its quaint charm. Enjoyed perfect weather and so much great seafood. The craft show in town that's held every Wednesday and Saturday was especially fun, and we were able to find many treasures there. Many of the stores in town are closed, so this was perfect in finding those special gifts. It's too bad the ice cream place(Mueller's?) is closed as that was always a special attraction in town as there are no other places to share a treat with family, friends, etc. ##### A guest from Washington Boro, PA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helene C. 25 Apr 2022 #### April 2022 Stay I have been coming to the Island since the 1960's and I use to stay a lot across the street from Donovan's House. I was delighted with the house and its ambience of old and new. It served our purpose of being in town and close to Maddox to go to the Ocean. I especially enjoyed the enclosed porches on the side. Truly a delighted. ##### Helene C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helene C. 25 Apr 2022 #### The House I dreamed of stepping into. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have always wanted to step into the house across the street on Ocean Blvd. I started to come to the Island in 1960's with my husband and his sister and friend. I fell in love with the Island and its peaceful surroundings. I think this particular house has a lot of charm. It is spacious and has a combination of the old and new. The enclosed porches are ideal for relaxing. It was a dream come true. ##### Helene C. ### 8/10 Good #### Heather D. 29 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Good House and Great Location The pictures of the property online certainly don’t do it justice. The house is huge and was able to accommodate our party of 6 very comfortably. We especially loved the sun room and working fireplace! Booking this property through VRBO was a bit confusing as part of the fee was paid via VRBO and then I received and email request from a property management group in Chincoteague for the rest of the payment. If possible, save yourself the fee and extra step and book straight through them! The house itself is comfortable and has a well stocked though we were only left with one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and one roll of paper towels. We had to go out to buy more along with hand soap. The house is in need of some updating. The lights flickered a lot each night and there are some obvious signs of wear and tear on the house. We went over the Thanksgiving holiday so when we had a maintenance issue (the hot water didn’t work in the shower upstairs) it was unable to be resolved. While they did send a plumber out the day before we were due to leave, they did not warn us so we weren’t home when they arrived. We’d definitely use this house again if we were to come back with a large party— though we’d be better prepared with paper products and would check the appliances right away! ##### Heather D.

Reviewer Comments: Pleasant little house in a great location. There house is in need of some updating, mostly the kitchen and stairs leading to the back door. There are a few oddities with the upstairs being a open concept which did not offer much privacy when using the bathroom. The skylights in the top floor were nice to have natural sunlight to wake up to. We had some issues with AC not working and the upstairs shower leaking into one of the bedrooms but property management took care of them quickly. ##### Brittany R.

The living room couch is more comfortable than the old one. The house worked very well for our 3 adults and 2 children. ##### Donna S.

Reviewer Comments: A delightful older house that is very kid friendly! Just a few reccomendations that would enhance the property's attractiveness.We loved the proximity of the house to town, yet on a quiet street. The only thing that we always look for in a rental is a screened porch. We did miss that. ##### A guest from Washington Boro, PA ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica T., Crofton, Maryland 4 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house! Everything was as advertised. The location was great, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The kids were excited about all the Disney VHS tapes (they were fascinated by the "old fashioned" way of watching movies) and board games, it made any downtime very painless and enjoyable for them. There were also boogie boards and beach chairs to borrow which was great. There was plenty of space and a well appointed kitchen. The attic was finished beautifully and we loved all the natural light from the skylights. The beds were very comfortable! The only downside was that the water in the upstairs shower doesn't get hot, but this isn't a big enough problem to deter us from visiting again. The check in/out process was a breeze because the door opens with a key code. This is an awesome house for families! ##### Jessica T.

We wanted to get away for a week for a change of scenery but still be safe during the pandemic. We really enjoyed the house as it had lots of room, a fully stocked kitchen, a screened in porch, and a nice grassy yard for our dog! ##### Jacqueline H. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Margaret S. 27 Oct 2020 #### October 2020 Stay The house needs major improvements. There is duct tape on the 2nd floor covering a hole— this has been like this for 2 years. The house also developed ceiling cracks during the time we were there. Minor repairs were done immediately. Mattresses need to be replaced. This house needs major updates. It is apparent that it has not been kept in good repair. ##### Margaret S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dagmar W., Baltimore 20 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Island getaway We loved the fact that we were able to take our dogs with us on vacation. The House is in a great location, close to shops and restaurants, but still on a very quiet street. The house was lovely and offered everything we needed. ##### Dagmar W.

So many windows and so much light and fresh air. The older style is my favorite. It was perfect size for five adults and three little children. Good walking distance to town and Lil Whippy. Near the end of our visit the bathtub stopped draining and two men were immediately sent to look into it. (Unfortunately the drain needed a professional plumber and it was late Friday so no baby baths Friday and Saturday). But I would rent this house again and recommend it to others. ##### Sally B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Williamsburg Lodge, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newport-News-Hotels-Williamsburg-Lodge.h806309.Hotel-Information) > > [Safari Hotels in England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-England-Safari-Hotel.0-0-d11218-tsafarihotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Berkeley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-The-Berkeley-Hotel.h1860.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingsmill Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Williamsburg-Hotels-Kingsmill-Resort.h25624.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mexico City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mexico-City-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aMEX-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The George Washington Hotel, A Wyndham Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-George-Washington-Hotel.h1364026.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Norfolk The Main](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norfolk-Hotels-Hilton-Norfolk-The-Main.h16417334.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Cyprus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cyprus-Villas.d45-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Slaidburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Slaidburn-Hotels.d3000452730.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Londonderry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Londonderry-Hotels.s50-0-d2038.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Villas Balearic Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balearic-Islands-Villas.d6047891-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Cyncoed](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cyncoed-Cardiff-Hotels.0-n553248635216274305-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Griffin Hotel, an official Colonial Williamsburg Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Williamsburg-Hotels-Griffin-Hotel-A-Colonial-Williamsburg-Hotel.h13498945.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norfolk-Hotels-Sheraton-Norfolk-Waterside-Hotel.h11622.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Aberdeen-Hotels.s40-0-d6054175.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [RIAD HIZAD](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-RIAD-HIZAD.h75856630.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Hampden Garden Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Hampden-Garden-Apartment.h17804577.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Savannah (SAV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/sav/edinburgh-to-savannah) ### Cars > [Car hire in Tarragona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Tarragona.d5149.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Caerphilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Caerphilly.d6123231.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Thrifty Car Rental at Sheraton Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrifty-Car-Rental-at-Sheraton-Heathrow-Hotel.v8927.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) ### Activities > [Things to do in Periana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Periana.d6130838.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Florida Keys Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florida-Keys.d6023765.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Sarrià-Sant Gervasi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Sarria-Sant-Gervasi.dx6052657) ---
