The perfect location and accommodations for our family vacation. Got another bucket list vacation on the books! We had a wonderful time and the house was so perfect and relaxing. It was a very enjoyable experience.
We absolutely loved the location of the property - so walkable and bikeable to so many fun things, and nestled in a neighborhood with a great vibe. Easy communication with the host when we needed it, too.
This is a perfect beach house, close to town, easy drive to the beach and walking distance to many attractions. The house has character and is comfortable. The host is responsive to any need and the fact that they supply bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, 4 kayaks and even a folding beach wagon makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Sir-Whelks-a-lot to anyone looking for a great vacation cottage on Chincoteague. Thank you to the host and owner for sharing their beautiful, perfect beach house.
We loved the location of this home. Itâs within walking distance of many places and an easy drive to the beach. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet. Communication with the owner could not have been smoother. She was extremely responsive and couldnât have been more accommodating. We enjoyed a lovely week there and would stay again.
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Did a day at the wildlife refuge and spent some time on the beach. Plan to come back and enjoy another stay.
Sir Whelk-a-Lot was the cutest little cottage on Chincoteague Island. It was centrally located on the island and easily located. The house was clean and welcoming and easily accommodated the 4 of us during the weekend.The hosts were fabulous to work with and they provided everything we needed!If you're looking for a weekend getaway, this is a great place. I think we'll return in the future!
My family & I really enjoyed our stay! Walkable to restaurants & shopping. Kayaking to see ponies was a highlight! We felt at home here and especially loved the porch swing. So relaxing! Would love to come back!
Property was as described, I've never had to bring my own bedding and towels before in order to not be charged extra so that was a hassle but everything else was as expected.
Enjoyed staying at the place with some friends and colleaguesâ the place was clean and cutely decorated. The bikes were nice and wish we had time for the kayaks but we were working for part of the weekend! Thanks for the stay ! Cheers!
We had a great time at Sir Whelk-A-Lot! It was the perfect little cottage for our family of 6 and we will definitely come back!Our older boys really enjoyed having their own space upstairs, although you have to be really careful on the short, steep, carpeted stairs to the room. We had several slips when coming down. The location is great! Lots of stuff in town was within walking distance and the fact that bikes were included made everything but the beach easily accessible. For those not familiar with Chincoteague, the beach is out on Assateague Island and would be quite a hike from anywhere on Chincoteague on foot or even by beach cruiser bike. Best to drive in and bring your bikes with you to cruise around within the park on their beautiful bike trails. To save funds and maximize the fun, we decided to make most of our meals at the house. The kitchen was great and had most everything we needed for cooking and serving. The only thing it didnât have was any cabinet space to put away our groceries that were not refrigerated, so we kept everything out on the big island countertop, which worked just fine. One thing we were really excited about was the kayaks that were included as an option with our stay. Our boys love kayaking with their dad and we totally would have taken advantage of those except we had some pretty chilly and windy days. Which just means we must come back soon to Sir-Whelk-A-Lot during our summer break to enjoy those on a sunny day!
We booked this last min and Iâm so glad we found it. Very conveniently located to downtown, it made it easy to explore the island. The property was super clean and the hosts were very organized. We only had three people but this could easily fit a larger family. Would absolutely recommend.to others.
We stayed for 3 nights in this comfortable home. Plenty of space for all 5 of us (4 adults and 1 teen) to cook easy breakfasts, lunches, and bake cookies, play board games, as well as a great home base for walking to restaurants, shopping, and heading out for nature walks, boat tours. We very much enjoyed our stay. Easy communication with owners, too.
Stayed in the off season when it's nice and quiet. The home was well kept, clean, and nicely situated. Owners were solid, and very responsive to the one issue we had (a sticking side entrance storm door - taken care of quickly). Comfortable bed, cozy couches, and a clean kitchen. Can't ask for better on a weekend retreat.
We went for a quick weekend getaway to Chincoteague. Great location and comfortable stay. Hosts were very prompt with responses to emails. No problems whatsoever. Everything we needed. Thanks for the use of your home.
Beautifully decorated. Loved the layout - it flowed well. Everything was in good working order. Owners have excellent communication and thereâs a nice surprise at the end of the visit which I wonât spoil. Located in the downtown area close to shopping
We had a great time in Chincoteagu. House is in a great location and is very well maintained. Host is very easy to get in touch with. Would stay here again!
Sir Whelk a Lot worked out great for the 4 of us. The upstairs has 3 beds and its own bathroom, so it was like having a separate suite. The steps are narrow, so you have to be careful. Great location
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and in super condition, the bedrooms are great so everyone can enjoy some quiet time and privacy. Loads of beach gear provided, games as well. Location convenient to get to beach, shopping, mainland bridge, boat trips and eating out. Very much enjoyed the evening sun sitting on the swing on the front porch.
