This is our second mother-daughter stay here. We love the non-chain family vibe, and the staff is very welcoming. We appreciated not having to leave for breakfast. It gave us more time to enjoy the amazing view from our balcony! Will definitely return.
I grew up with the owner’s son and extended family. They are a cornerstone of the Chincoteague community. I loved the hotel and the fact that I got a “real” key! The room had a magnificent view of the Chincoteague channel and I drank my coffee out on the balcony every morning. Room was clean, plenty of amenities, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, table and chairs and sofa. What else could you ask for? Definitely my go to place when I go back home.
Me and my husband stayed 1 night ay the waterside inn for our anniversary.The room was very nice! The view feom the balcony was absolutely amazing! The gym has a jaquzzi tub which i got to enjoy which was very nice! When we woke up sunday morning we went down and fot the complimentary breakfast which was really cool. I got sausage gravy and buiscuits my husband got the sausage gravy buiscuits, ham and eggs. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back and staying again!
Due to the change in the weather, it was great that the heat and air conditioning both worked well. The rooms were clean, as were the grounds. The breakfast was good and not overwhelming.
Very clean room and comfortable bed and bedding. Friendly and helpful service. Simple and adequate breakfast offering, very nice that they serve you. Beautiful views!

Door latch had suffered earlier damage and was not completely repaired when it was repaired sometime before our visit. Basically, the door didn't close tightly due to the previously mentioned repair as there was an approx. 1/2" or more gap present when the door was closed. Definitely a security issue.

Great clean locally owned hotel. Breakfast was also wonderful!
The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room, view and overlook of the bay was both restful and easy on the eye. I would have liked to have had 2 luggage holders as well as screens on the doors. We would definitely stay there on our next trip to the area.
Lovely place right on the water, clean rooms and kind staff. Free breakfast served every morning and lots of tv channels available. Pool water was a little dirty but everything else was exceptional!
Our third time staying here. Very clean and comfortable. Love watching the sunset from our balcony.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The room was clean, nicely decorated and beds were comfortable. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Breakfast including freshly made waffles was great. The hotel is a bit older, but definitely well maintained. The only downside I had was the smell from the marsh in the evenings, but there’s not much the hotel can do about that. I just had to remember not to open the balcony door, which I really wanted to do to get some cool cooler air Into the room. That also meant sitting on the balcony in the evenings was not practical. Otherwise I had a great stay and will definitely go back in the future.
