My wife and I and our dog Sandy Koufax enjoyed our two night stay at the Island Retreat. The views of the marsh from both decks was great and the place was nice as advertised. It's a great base to explore Chincoteague.
I would stay at Islam Retreat again. It is an older duplex but has a lovely setting. The kitchen was small with very little âprepâ room. Parking was a challenge with full-sized pick-up and van but not impossible. Loved the screened porch which held a full- sized table and chairs and a lounge area.
Excellent stay over long weekend with family and dog. Absolutely hassle free plus excellent communication from hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed the pitches overlooking the marsh views. Easy bike ride to town or the beach!
Nice house, great view of the marsh and the lighthouse at night. 50 degrees and sunshine beats the heck of the subzero and the snowstorm aftermath we returned home to. Lots of great seafood, visited the Wallops Island NASA visitor's center, walked some trails at one of the parks, enjoyed the sunrises over the marsh. Great getaway.
This is a gorgeous location, right on the marsh, in a quiet neighborhood but just blocks from restaurants & shops. We were perfectly comfortable & enjoyed watching the geese & herons on the water. Weâll be back!
We could not have been happier with our stay. Everything (except food) we needed was provided, the accommodations were clean, well maintained and thoroughly enjoyable and just as represented. We like it so much that we booked again for next year!
House wasn't as isolated as I'd anticipated from the listing, nor did I understand that it was a duplex. But it didn't really matter. Our stay was wonderful. Great sunrises and sunsets from the upper balcony and comfortable beds. The upper bedroom suite was beautiful. Great birdwatching opportunities. One morning I heard splashing in the marsh. Seven deer were cavorting and having a great time chasing each other.
The place was nice until we started to check things out before we brought in our luggage.
The first thing we noticed was that the cleanliness that they say is a professional service is not to what I expected. The shower curtains in guest and master were moldy, the guest bathroom had mold on the ceiling above toilet in guest bathroom and the smell of piss in the guest bathroom when you walked in was noticeable.There were cobwebs on the coffee pot and on ceiling fan in kitchen. There was water downed hand soap in master bathroom. These may seem minor but when you claim PROFESSIONAL CLEANJNG SERVICE
