Perfect Vacation Rental

Beautifully designed. Everything you could want. Loved the stove. Good location for acess to the park. You'll love this place. It was better than picturedI hesitate to suggest because it was just a perfect stay but a bar in the shower for old folks would be great.

Ponies, Relaxation and Charm

Our family’s getaway to Chincoteague was nothing short of magical. Watching the wild ponies roam freely was wonderful, a sight that never loses its charm no matter how many times we visit. We soaked up the sun on the sandy shores, explored winding nature trails, and embraced every moment of the island’s serene beauty. But some of the best memories were made right at The Starfish - swaying on the porch swing with morning coffee in hand, and sharing laughs and stories with our son on the deck in the afternoon breeze.This was our 3rd stay at The Starfish, and it certainly won’t be our last. Clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated, it provided the ideal setting for a strip filled with relaxation and joy.We left with hearts full and smiles wide!

Amazing time at Starfish

Everything was fantastic. The house is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated. Stocked with nice cookware and everything you need to get your vacation started right. Great location away from the main road, but everything you need is still close. Easy drive in the park to get to the beach and all the sights. Great communication with the hosts for anything we needed. Would recommend this home to anyone without hesitation.

Beautiful house, close to everything

We loved this house in Chincoteague! The rooms were perfect for our family of 4 and the screened porch was a great place to hang out bug-free at night. The quiet streets were safe for the kids to bike on and the large yard and yard games (corn hole, ladder golf) were fun for everyone. Would love to come back!

Great Stay in Chincoteague

We had an amazing week in Chincoteague staying at The Starfish! The house was the perfect size for the four of us. Everything was clean and the host provided a few extras - Bluetooth speaker, boogie boards, and lots of board games. Will definitely stay at the Starfish when we return to Chincoteague!

Wonderful Stay!!

A wonderful place in an ideal location—even better than advertised. This delightful cottage has been thoroughly modernized and tastefully decorated. The porches are broad and cool even in the heat of the day, and the kitchen beautifully designed and equipped. Whether you’re pony-watching, beach-going, wilderness hiking or just getting away from it all, this is the perfect place to stay. We especially appreciated the host’s flexibility in modifying our initial reservation.

Fabulous Getaway!!!

This was a wonderful getaway retreat. You CANNOT TOP this little cottage. Everything is provided that you need: super clean, well decorated, and appointed and close to great restaurants and the quaint downtown area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The communication with Jennifer (owner) could not have been better from the trip planning stage through the conclusion of our stay. She was immensely friendly and helpful. Stay at Starfish - you will not regret it.
