Find Family-Friendly Hotels in Eastern Shore of Virginia

"Check-in was quick and easy. Staff were super attentive and incredibly helpful. My husband and I were looking for moderately priced, casual, local seafood and Ellie gave us THE BEST recommendation. Captain Zach's was fire!! Thank you! Hotel had gorgeous nautical decor and was clean and updated. Room was wonderful. Plenty of parking. Everything we needed and would expect. Mini fridge/freezer combo a plus. View from our 1st floor patio was lovely and we enjoyed the view of the bay at sunset. We left our room and walked a bit around the dock area behind the building for a few minutes this was great. Only thing that could use improvement was the included breakfast. Sausage was good, but eggs were a bit bland, and pancake was rubbery. Also no bagels. Would recommend adding bagels as an option and maybe consider doing French toast instead of those pancakes, or maybe little waffles? There are a lot of creative ways this could be improved. Overall experience was very good though. We would recommend and return again😊."

"We LOVED The Refuge Inn! Each room was uniquely decorated, adding to the ambience. The breakfast was delivered on time every morning and was very satisfying. The coffee was good and available all day and night. The are some horse stalls adjacent to the property and they were lovely to look at. The whole atmosphere there speaks p-e-a-c-e. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!"

"Let me just say… Waterside Inn understood the assignment before I even knew what assignment I needed. This was my very first solo trip to Chincoteague, and I came needing a full reset — peace, quiet, fresh air, a mental recharge, and maybe a sunset dramatic enough to fix my attitude. Mission accomplished. 😂 The island ambiance alone is enough to make you instantly exhale. Everything slows down in the best possible way. My room was freshly cleaned (and trust me, I notice EVERYTHING 👀), which immediately made me comfortable. The bed was firm, which I personally loved, and the pillows? Absolute win. No sad, flat hotel pillows trying to ruin my sleep. The water view from the balcony was such a vibe. Sitting out there with that peaceful view was exactly what my soul needed. I caught a gorgeous sunrise, but let’s be honest — the sunset the night before absolutely stole the show. It was one of those “just sit there and stare at the sky” moments. The location is PERFECT. Close to everything without feeling crowded or chaotic. Amenities checked every box for me too — pool, breakfast, dock access, and easy parking. But what really made the stay stand out was the people. Every single staff member I encountered was kind, welcoming, and genuinely polite. Even the guests were lovely, which honestly says a lot. 😂 As a woman taking her first solo reset trip, feeling safe and comfortable matters — and I absolutely did. 10/10. Would absolutely stay here again."

"Very clean and conveniently located"

"Amazing staff that wanted to exceed every expectation! Lovely hotel and great breakfast!"

"Everything was clean and well done. The view from the room was spectacular. Quiet, well maintained and easy walking to food and shops."

"OK breakfast. Check in took forever. The person behind the counter could not multitask or answer questions “out of order.”"

"Very clean room staff is excellent breakfast is very good we didn’t have hot water for showers but they gave us another room then so they are good and fixing any problems ASAP woould still recommend this place."

"The room was clean and the parking was fine. The room had one little desk and a swivel desk chair. There was no place to put things down except the floor. There was no place to sit except the bed. The bathroom fixtures are so old the finishes are worn off. The tub doesn't drain unless you manually pull up the stopper - water up to your ankles. The shower head is 20 years old. Only one little garbage pail in the bathroom. Unless I hear of a reno I will not stay there again. So disappointing for a place that we really enjoyed years ago. Hilton is supposed to be better than this."
