Donovan's Reef - Pet friendly, In Town!

Charming Chincoteague coastal cottage doesn't even begin to describe this place, but it's a start. Cheery, bright, and colorful - with some form of island history gracing every nook and cranny. Find the perfect mix of old and new in this unique home. Close enough to the main drag on Maddox Boulevard and Main Street - but out of the hurly-burly here on Ocean Boulevard. Wake up a few minutes before everyone else and head across the street to get fresh donuts from Mister Whippy or chocolate croissants from Amarin to surprise everyone with. You'll be the hero for the day, until someone else brings home oysters that night. Oh, and bring your furry friends along, because this one's PET FRIENDLY! This property features lots of nooks for sleeping spaces - a loft upstairs, featuring skylights that let the bright island sunshine flood in. Up here you'll find a cozy king size bed in one room, and two twins in another, with a full bath that features a gorgeous tiled stand up shower. Downstairs you'll find two more bedrooms - one with two twins, and the other with a king. Three different comfortable living areas, one of which is an outdoor sunroom - and that room has doors that connects to the downstairs king - in addition to the main living area. Small backyard area for letting the puppies play or eating lunch outside at the picnic table. The retro mid-century kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare that island seafood dinner with what you catch down at the town dock, and a lovely dining area to enjoy it as a family. Donovan's Reef is located in the heart of downtown Chincoteague, allowing you an easy walk to all the shopping the island has to offer. Stop by Chincotiki on your way home and grab an orange crush or two!

Good House and Great Location
The pictures of the property online certainly don’t do it justice. The house is huge and was able to accommodate our party of 6 very comfortably. We especially loved the sun room and working fireplace! Booking this property through VRBO was a bit confusing as part of the fee was paid via VRBO and then I received and email request from a property management group in Chincoteague for the rest of the payment. If possible, save yourself the fee and extra step and book straight through them! The house itself is comfortable and has a well stocked though we were only left with one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and one roll of paper towels. We had to go out to buy more along with hand soap. The house is in need of some updating. The lights flickered a lot each night and there are some obvious signs of wear and tear on the house. We went over the Thanksgiving holiday so when we had a maintenance issue (the hot water didn’t work in the shower upstairs) it was unable to be resolved. While they did send a plumber out the day before we were due to leave, they did not warn us so we weren’t home when they arrived. We’d definitely use this house again if we were to come back with a large party— though we’d be better prepared with paper products and would check the appliances right away!

Great house! Everything was as advertised.
The location was great, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The kids were excited about all the Disney VHS tapes (they were fascinated by the "old fashioned" way of watching movies) and board games, it made any downtime very painless and enjoyable for them. There were also boogie boards and beach chairs to borrow which was great. There was plenty of space and a well appointed kitchen. The attic was finished beautifully and we loved all the natural light from the skylights. The beds were very comfortable! The only downside was that the water in the upstairs shower doesn't get hot, but this isn't a big enough problem to deter us from visiting again. The check in/out process was a breeze because the door opens with a key code. This is an awesome house for families!

Great time getting away from it all!
We wanted to get away for a week for a change of scenery but still be safe during the pandemic. We really enjoyed the house as it had lots of room, a fully stocked kitchen, a screened in porch, and a nice grassy yard for our dog!

Great Island getaway
We loved the fact that we were able to take our dogs with us on vacation. The House is in a great location, close to shops and restaurants, but still on a very quiet street. The house was lovely and offered everything we needed.
