Victorian Cottage

07/21/2023

We still have the week of July 29th through August 4th available at beautiful Victorian Cottage. If Chincoteague in the summer isn't draw enough there will be a rocket launch from nearby Wallops Island on August 1st. Come stay with us and watch a little bit of space magic while you're in town.

Hey all, if you are looking for one last summer vacation spot we have one week left open from July 29th through August 4th at our Chincoteague house. Cheaper than a hotel room, walking to great restaurants and ice cream and a five minute car ride to a beautiful natural beach on the Atlantic. Any questions about the house or Chincoteague let me know or you can go here to book a stay.

So, you'd like to be only minutes from the Beach, close to Shopping and Dining, able to walk to the park that has THE best Sunsets anywhere, and stay in an affordable, yet awesome Vacation Home? You may think that is a tall order for us to fill, but it's not! Welcome to Victoria Cottage on Church St

A great cause to preserve a key piece Chincoteague history.

Standing in the kitchen of the house where Misty of Chincoteague rode out the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962—and doing it for my job—was not something I ever expected to happen, yet there I was on a bright morning in March. Working in this field in Virginia has brought me in contact with a lot of o...

We had an amazing time this past week in Chincoteague giving Victorian Cottage a face lift ahead of this summer season. We hope you enjoy the freshly painted walls and local art and furniture additions when you book our little slice of heaven for your upcoming summer vacation. We’ll have fresh new photos on the Seaside Vacation Rentals site soon but here’s a quick amateur preview.

Bayside dining 150 yards from your front porch is just one of the perks of staying at Victorian Cottage. You’re also minutes away from experiences like this.

Late August and September are ideal times to visit Chincoteague. The weather is amazing and the mosquitos and tourists are down. This view from Don’s Seafood is 150 yards from your front porch if you stay at Victorian Cottage.

And the yard is refreshed and looking beautiful to welcome you as you arrive. We’re back in Fairfax after an amazing week at the house and I can’t recommend a spring visit to the island more. We hope to host you in our house soon.

04/10/2022

Spring refreshes are done and Victorian Cottage is ready for the spring and summer visitors. We’re especially excited for the remodeled Chincoteague Room designed for brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and anyone that wants an amazing Chincoteague experience. Our son Ty figured out how to create a DYI hammock in the new room. We hope you have as much fun making the room perfect for your stay.

The cherry blossoms bloom in Chincoteague too! The reason my family bought Victorian Cottage was for the off season as much as the summer. The community is great, the amenities are wonderful, like the recently completed Brianna’s Kindness Park that’s a one minute walk from our house, and you can enjoy everything the Eastern Shore has to offer before the tourists show up. If you’ve been to Chincoteague before or have heard of it but never visited I highly recommend coming in April or May to get a true feel for the island. We’re going to be sad to head back to northern Virginia at the end of this week but we’re putting a lot of love into the house this week to make it a wonderful destination for you this spring and summer.

We had a great time preparing for the holidays this weekend. Victorian Cottage is ready for a Christmas by the Sea. If you don’t have plans for next weekend, Chincoteague is bringing back their annual Christmas parade after a Covid hiatus. Victorian Cottage is available and we’d love you to experience the parade while staying in our beautiful home.

Chincoteague isn’t just a summer destination. Off-season visits offer experiences you can’t have during tourist season like Waterfowl Weekend when the service road on the island is open to visitors offering a view of the island you can’t get any other time. Victorian Cottage is open for visitors year round.

09/04/2021

We invite you to spend some time on our magical island.

Chincoteague’s many draws include seafood, day cruises and a sprawling wildlife refuge.

Wendy and I are blown away by the number of people that love our favorite place, Chincoteague. Victorian Cottage is booked through the summer but “off season” Chincoteague is wonderful and our home offers great access to all Chincoteague has to offer year round.

Our 10yo daughter painted this today and we think it will look perfect on the walls of the Victorian Cottage!
