The rental property where we stayed on the island was a charming waterfront end-unit townhouse directly across from the Assateague lighthouse. We had our own deep-water dock where we moored our rental canoe. Renting the canoe for the week was a great idea; my teenagers never complained when I had had enough beach and wanted to go back to the rental. They looked forward to their many adventures on the water and must have navigated every inch of the channel during our stay. The crabbing was excellent in this location, which was next door to the Chincoteague oyster beds. The unit had a large covered deck off the living room and another off the master bedroom. Both offered beautiful views of the sunrise over Assateague. The wildlife, especially the migratory birds, was abundant and fascinating to watch. It's a bird-watcher's paradise. There are three levels. On the main floor is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room with sleeper sofa, powder room, and full laundry. The second floor has a decent-sized master with a shower bath and deck, as well as a second bedroom with queen-size bed and a Jacuzzi in the hall bath. The upper floor is a large, open room with several beds and a bath.
The unit was clean and nicely furnished. The price for a waterfront rental property was very reasonable. We enjoyed this rental so much that we have requested the same one 4 years in a row.
