Everything you need at Chincoteague Lovely small house, with room for 5 adults. Son slept on the couch in the living room. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed for multiple dinners (except for a cheese grater, but we made do). Sun room was fabulous for meals - there is a fan/AC unit there that cooled it down nicely. Conveniently located, off Chicken City Rd. not far from Maddox Blvd. Island Creamery is a MUST DO! Best Ice cream anywhere!! Lovely home, very clean and comfortable.
