Holiday rentals with a kayak in Chincoteague

We loved the experience from booking to check-out. The setting exceeded our expectations. Peaceful and beautiful landscape. Easy to launch kayaks. Chickens were an added bonus. Appreciated the close proximity of Blackwater. Would love to return.

This little getaway exceeded my expectations and more. The pictures listed on Airbnb are beautiful, but it will never match the views in person. The house was clean and fully loaded with any and all things you may need. I will definitely be back! My dog LOVED playing with the neighbor dog, Bella. By the end of the weekend they were best of friends :)

Beautiful spot! Great location, close to all the happenings of Ocean City, but peaceful and quiet at the house…perfect set up. Great neighborhood. The house is beautiful, all the beds very comfortable. The back deck is gorgeous, thoroughly enjoyed that space and taking the kayaks out on the canal! It’s worth bringing your own linens and towels, we packed everything into a large tote and it worked out perfectly. Very responsive and friendly host! We had a great time here and plan to return. Highly recommend!

Came back for a third visit and had a lovely time at this peaceful retreat.

The River House was phenomenal, a beautifully furnished place with large riverfront lawn and private boat launch. Exceptionally clean and well-stocked with everything you could think of for a comfy stay (fluffy towels, extra paper products, cleaning supplies, blankets, tons of pillows). Kitchen is as beautiful as the photos, and amply stocked with everything from ziplocs to pyrex to measuring cups and baking tools. The kayaks and canoe were easy to access and use. Easy place to paddle in a calm and quiet tributary. Highly recommend Lindy’s seafood a mile away. Host has compiled a guidebook with lots of local business recs and info. You will not be disappointed with a stay at this awesome retreat.

First of all, this house and the views are STUNNING. This was the first vacation that I have taken with my fiancé and our 2 pups, and we had the best time--it was such a sad day when we had to leave lol. We basically ordered Doordash and Walmart Pickups the entire time we were there and never left the property during our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the cookware you could need, there are kayaks and paddle boards for entertainment, and plenty of floats for relaxing in the bay. There is a little private beach within 1 min walking distance from the house and there is access to the water from the backyard. It had everything we wanted for a relaxing vacation with our pups. I am already working on convincing my fiancé that we need to go back in the near future. 10/10 would recommend.

Of my many Airbnb stays, Laura’s comes up with the very best. Her home is lovely, inside and out, with a lot of fun activities to choose from. Located on a beautiful creek opening to wide water gave us a chance to explore in her kayaks and paddle board. Rainy weather meant indoor board games, reading etc on the beautiful protected porch. The kitchen had all sorts of amenities for cooking. Plenty of bedrooms for sleeping in the peaceful atmosphere. I can’t wait to return there!

My family of 10 had a great stay here! There was plenty of space to spread out and the location is perfect and serene. We were able to fish out on the dock and caught a few spot! One of the friendly neighbors even stopped by to offer some raspberries from their bush and extra firewood. We did run into an issue after check in with one of the bathrooms, but Karina was quick to respond and sent someone out to handle it as quickly as possible. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Needed a clean, quiet place for a long weekend for a local wedding. Very few options willing to accomodate us. The property and Tim were wonderful

Took my adult siblings and parents to Taryn’s property & everyone has already asked “can we go back next year?” The seclusion, water views, and acreage to explore was incredible. We were excited to take our dogs who loved running through the marsh out to the beach. Yes, there’s a lot of flies and ticks due to the marshy area, but we brought plenty of bug spray and checked the dogs each evening for ticks. Definitely recommend catching a sunset on the beach. No frills, no fuss..lots of fun & no-phone-service family bonding time.

We loved out time at this Bayside home. My boys spent outside upon hours at the little private beach, where the water doesn't really get deep for quite a ways and the waves were never very rough. it was perfect for them. we all enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, comfortable beds. My personal favorite was the hammock right by the water, listening to nothing but the waves and the calls of the ospreys that made the area their home. Forget the overly built up touristy areas and give this place a try. You will not regret it.

It was a pleasure finding this peaceful home. It is nestled in a rural area of Maryland. If you need to get away from life for a reset, this is the perfect place. The host was extremely responsive and flexible. The home is nicely accommodating and the local area has a nice park and dock to enjoy the water. I would highly recommend staying. James P

We had a wonderful stay at the house, which was both clean and amazing. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed, making our experience hassle-free. We spent enjoyable moments crabbing on the pier, and we found that everyone we encountered on the island was friendly and laid-back.

Beautiful private hidden gem on the water, perfect place to escape for a weekend.

Mystic Is a quaint, clean and welcoming houae. All details from pictures to knick knacks create a complete theme. Instructions were easy and thoughtful. Communications were prompt and thorough. This home and its owners create a perfect sanctuary.

We had a fantastic stay at this charming cottage on a private beach! The peaceful setting and direct access to the water made for a truly relaxing getaway. We especially loved the Adirondack chairs and firepit overlooking the Chesapeake Bay—perfect for amazing views and cozy evenings. The master bedroom and living spaces offered beautiful water views that made every moment feel serene and special. The owner was incredibly accommodating with check-in and shared thoughtful, personal tips that made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind by the bay!

We enjoyed our stay here. Very quiet area, nice comfortable space. The gravel road leading in (maybe a half-mile long) and driveway gave us a good area for morning and evening dog walks. We did not end up doing any fishing but the pond looked like a great place for kayak fishing. Not specific to the house but in the area: Rita's Cafe in Weems was great (food truck on a small road)--Chef Craige usually has a special and some regular menu items. Leadbellys (at Fairport Marina) had good oysters and hush puppies and was convenient for our first night. River Market in White Stone has good food to be ordered at the rear counter and prepared items in the coolers. Out of the Oven Bakery (White Stone) had great bread Miss Mary's seafood, also in White Stone had great fresh fish and prepared items. The three places in White Stone are very close to each other so convenient when running out.

Lea and Skip were wonderful hosts. The place is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature - the pictures didn’t do it justice! We were pleasantly surprised to find a fire pit, Adirondack chairs, crab traps and even kayaks to use during our stay (it was too windy during our visit, so we hope to come back to use those!) The towns are really cute with shops and restaurants, and we visited a winery and a distillery in our adventures. Close to the beach towns, but off the beaten path. Thank you again for the great accommodations! We will be back!

We absolutely loved this place. It was a short drive to the bay and certainly worth it. The cottage was secluded enough from the neighbors and we could hear the waves with the windows open. The beach was a very short walk from the cottage and was also very private. We spent a good chunk of our time finding sharks teeth and relaxing on the porch. Grocery stores and gas stations are also fairly close. We even booked our stay for next year already.

Great place! We really enjoyed all of the outdoor amenities. The kayaks, paddle boards, fishing, hot tub, hammocks were all great. Have two teens who very much enjoyed. Was relaxing but a lot to do there also. Lots of jellyfish so we did not swim at all. Definitely a lot of fish and crabs that can be caught right at the dock. If more serious and knowledgeable about fishing then us, may want to bring extra hooks and tackle box. Definitely some size-able fish. Bait shop in town has a lot of supplies but very limited hours. The house had tons of towels, washcloths, etc. which was nice. Kitchen had oil, spices, plenty of cooking utensils, pots / pans, dinnerware etc. Blackstone was nice. Made it very easy to cook. Very few restaurants open M-F. Of those that were, most closed by about 3. Newsome’s was a great local place for lunch. Crab cakes were outstanding. Definitely would stay again. Had a great time!

Our experience at Ted and Jen's house by the beach was amazing. We enjoyed it so much! The house was clean and comfortable, with all the little touches like a basket of snacks and a can of bug spray. Ted and Jen were amazing hosts. From meeting us at the ferry, to showing us a little tour of the island on the way to the house, to giving us pointers on how to enjoy the area, Ted and Jen gave us the full Tangier Island experience. We expect to make this a yearly summer tradition!

This cabin was the perfect getaway for my family. The waterfront location is absolutely stunning, and my sons had a fantastic time playing in the water. The cabin is exceptionally well-equipped, providing everything we could possibly need. It's a true escape from civilization, offering a profound sense of peace and tranquility. We're grateful to Justin for sharing his beautiful cabin with us. We're already looking forward to returning in the near future!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This place was as described. Very peaceful get away for my family and totally worth the price we paid. Teresa was quick to respond and recommended some place to eat. We will be back to experience the fall weather.
