The house is comfortable and in a perfect location close to a wonderful off-road paved bike path that leads to Assateague marshlands, woods, and the beach. It is also convenient to central Chincoteague, but on a quiet street. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds are comfortable. The screened porch in back was very pleasant in the evening (though it would have been nice to find the furniture clean.) I would not hesitate to rent this house again and would recommend it to others. It would be well suited to families.
A few suggestions for the management company:
A thorough cleaning beyond just vacuuming would be appropriate. There was, for example, a layer of black along the top of the bedroom blinds, and the edges of the bathroom floor were a little grimy.
We needed assistance with a few items after arrival: getting into the shed, which turned out to be full of stuff, so not useable for bike storage, a bathroom drain that was stuck, and outside water that had not been turned on. The next day at noon Richard from the maintenance crew came to assist us with clearing space in the shed, going under the house to turn on the water, and going to the hardware store to get a temporary fix for the drain. (A cleaning person should surely have noticed that the drain was stuck and water could not clear from the sink.) Richard was very helpful, and we appreciated his assistance. Note to renters: Since check-in time is after 4:00, and the office closes at 5:00, try to take note of any difficulties immediately.
Finally, though I am sure the management company must deal with a variety of renters, it should not be necessary to send multiple texts in addition to printed instructions regarding check-out procedures and the threatened fines connected with infractions. A somewhat more welcoming style of communication might get equally good results.
With those suggestions, this rental served our needs very well, and we enjoyed our visit to Chincoteague.
