Welcome to The Porpoise of Life in the very heart of Chincoteague Island.

As you pull into the driveway, you can’t help but notice The Porpoise of Life’s classic Coastal Cape good looks. With multiple Decks facing the Water, just imagine sipping your morning coffee while watching Herons, Eagles, and Egrets fish for their morning meal - so peaceful. In the backyard you’ll find a Private Pier and Floating Dock over the Gut - the kids will have a blast Crabbing, and the Floating Dock makes launching your Kayak super easy. And out front, you'll find a Brand New Private Pier right on the Chincoteague Bay!

Family vacation
My family consisting of my husband, myself, and our adult children and their loved ones stayed here for a week. The property was very comfortable and suited us very well. Perfect location for us to reunite and bond as a family together. Only gripe I have is that the railings could have been washed before our stay. Everyone who touched them got dirt on their hands or clothing.

Everything exceeded my expectations significantly
This is one of those houses where the pictures don't tell the story about how nice it really is. Sometimes you just have to see it for yourself. The house is beautiful. Everything is appointed very nicely and really gives you the 'beach house' feeling (upscale beach house). I will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful home in the bay
Accommodations were lovely. This home is very well-appointed with several items in the kitchen. We loves the porch and rocking chairs and watching the geese and ducks in the marshy pond. Wonderful views. Great location.

Overall Nice
Enjoyed our stay. The view of lots of construction and junk wasn't the best but the owners can't really help that.

What a wonderful vacation!
The house was so clean and comfortable! The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The views from the balconies were outstanding. We will definitely rent this house again!

Top notch quality stay!
The place was beautiful and new. Very clean and well stocked with anything you could need. The large deck of the front was a great place to relax and enjoy bay views. When battling some inclement weather, the bright sun room was a great place to enjoy drinks with a view still. Couldn’t have stayed in better place. Highly recommend staying here on a quieter more secluded part of the island.
