About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

As close as you can get to the ocean south of Chincoteague

Please feel free to write if you have questions. Unlike Chincoteague, this is a rural setting - the neighborhood is eight houses along Metompkin Bay. But it's an easy half-hour trip to Chincoteague if you'd rather go to the beach there. Our beach is a 15-minute kayak trip away (there are five kayaks included in the rental, paddles, and various size life jacketsl). There are also lot of little creeks in the marsh to explore by kayak. If you have a boat, there's a public boat ramp close by.

Our neighbors often fish in the bay, and surf fishing is great at certain times of year. We have crab traps - the crabbing is pretty good off the dock. If you are plenty of birds to watch for the birders. Onancock (10 minutes away) is where we go for nice restaurants and charming little shops. Lots of other attractions are shown in this listing.

We have three decks - two on the water side and one on the land side, in addition to a screened porch - lovely views in all directions. The house is almost all windows on the water side, to take advantage of these wonderful views. The living room/dining room/kitchen is open plan and on the water side of the house. A bedroom, bath, and second bedroom/TV room are on the road side of the house. The bathroom houses a washer and drier that are hidden behind doors. The master bedroom, (loft) and bath occupy the upstairs, and have an even better view of the marshes, bay, and even a glimpse of the ocean! The bottom floor is a garage, and has a laundry sink and extra refrigerator.

Amazing vacation!

We stayed at Colette’s property and it was amazing. The house was beautiful, the beaches were as promised, and the view was second to none. The neighbors were friendly but you didn’t know they were there unless you struck up a conversation. Make sure you follow the tide information as it is important for kayaking out to the island! We would love to stay there again!

Lovely view, lovely stay

The Metompkin House was a lovely place to enjoy a few days. The view is probably the best of any rental we have enjoyed. The beds are comfortable, and the owners keep all the appliances and kitchen wares you might need. The open nature of the loft bedroom with king bed was a bit of a challenge for us with the sound, but, for others, it might be no big deal. Overall, this was a great house in a beautiful setting, and my family would recommend it.
