About this property

WATERFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE DOCK, JULY 4TH & PONY PENNING AVAILABLE, DISCOUNTED

Eagle's View, our 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath waterfront house faces the Assateague Channel with a stunning view of Assateague Island, the gorgeous Assateague Lighthouse and wildlife refuge. There are three levels of waterfront outdoor living with our private lighted dock, screened porch, open-air deck and third floor intimate balcony. Adirondack chairs and dining table sets provide plenty of seating for your delicious fresh seafood feasts; a glider on the dock for relaxing and dreaming; a steel-framed hammock on the screened porch is ideal for reading and snoozing! The bright and spacious great room with soaring ceiling overlooks the water and marshes, with the refuge and lighthouse as a backdrop. Two queen master bedroom suites make the home perfect for multi-generational guests. The third floor loft (with water view) is a wonderful respite for kids with their own TV, VCR and DVD library plus board games and puzzles. From the loft a hallway leads to two more bedrooms (two twins in each) and a large shared bath. The nautically-themed bedroom has terrific water views down the Channel to the Ocean Inlet. A dramatic catwalk from the loft leads you to a waterfront balcony where you will enjoy the spectacular view.

The kitchen is fully equipped to provide for all cooking needs with everything from coffee bean grinder, ice cream maker, Kitchenaid mixer to stainless steel crab steamer. We also provide crabbing equipment. The laundry with front-loading washer and dryer is conveniently located near the master bedrooms. There is a powder room off the great room. Master bedrooms have TVs; 2 flat screen TVs are also in the sitting rooms. WIFI throughout. We enjoy watching the wild ponies grazing below the lighthouse, as well as star-gazing and bird-watching, so we provide our guests with the use of our scope.

Relax on the glider on our dock and gaze at the lighthouse, or lose yourself in a good book! Our deck seats 10 to 12 for great seafood dinners off the gas grill, out of the crab steamer or carried out from the many great seafood eateries. Our plentiful video/DVD library provides hours of movie viewing while snuggled up with loved ones on the two couches in the great room. Greet the mornings while watching the sunrise over Assateague Island; you will see and hear the marshes come alive with marsh birds, herons, egrets, turtles, etc. Glimpse the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead, on the way to his/her nest on Assateague. Photograph wading birds and water fowl right from our deck. Vacations at Eagle's View in spring and fall provide the opportunity to view many more species of birds as they travel on the Atlantic Migratory Flyway over Assateague and Chincoteague. When the snow geese fly overhead in late fall, it will take your breath away! End your day with a late evening glass of wine on the deck or balcony and listen for the occasional owl hooting, whippoorwill call or pony whinnying across the Channel. Be mesmerized by the sound of the crashing surf on the Atlantic beachfront!

We have decorated Eagle's View with art from local artists, our photographs, decoys, nautical maps and real antique anchors, to add to the seaside feeling. Our collection of antiques includes oyster plates, faux scrimshaw, shells, decoys and nautical memorabilia. The furnishings are high-quality but comfortable and inviting, making our guests feel welcomed and relaxed in a bright and airy setting.

The quiet location on Little Piney Island, on the Eastside of Chincoteague Island is private yet not remote. We are close to everything! Bike to Main Street or Maddox Blvd. for shops, restaurants, the Island Creamery, the Sea Star Cafe for great sandwiches, carry-out food shops, miniature golf, bumper boats, etc., or to visit the two museums on the way to Assateague. There are no through streets and no commerce on our little island-neighborhood, so there is safe biking for little ones and walking for all. The almost constant ocean breeze is a refreshing delight which really deters the mosquitos. This Eastside location is ideal to access:
~ the bridge to Assateague
~the Wildlife Refuge
~the Visitor Centers
~the Atlantic Ocean beachfront
~restaurants and shops
~kayaking
~fishing, tennis and the playground at Memorial Park
~public boat ramps
~bike, scooter and kayak rentals
~kayaking down the Channel to Etta's Restaurant for dinner
~great photo opportunities of the Lighthouse and water birds
~birdwatching


Keywords: Waterfront home with fantastic views of the Assateague Channel, Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge. Enjoy the waterfront from our private, lighted dock~~~catch crabs for your dinner, read a book on the glider, kayak over to Assateague for close-up viewing of the wild ponies. Relax, refresh, recharge!

Oyster festival weekend

Very nice vacation home. Based on vrbo picture thought that there would be more space between other residences. But it was fine. Thought that maybe there would be bikes and kayaks like the neighbors had. That would have made the experience much better. But again, beautiful weekend, beautiful views, lighthouse was amazing along with all of the birds in the morning. We all had a great time so thank you!!!

Great house, location. No sheets or towels.

This house is perfect for a large group. Couldn't ask for a better location. The view is beautiful. It comes with a dock. Rustic and adorable with a well-appointed kitchen. The screen porch downstairs had not been cleaned and it was a bit cluttered. I was also taken by surprise about the fact that it had no linens or towels, as it doesn't say so on the listing. But overall great value for a beautiful house on the water. Would definitely return.

Owner was a gracious host.

The property was even better than the pics. The view from the deck was lovely, weather was perfect. Karen, the owner called to suggest a few places to eat & to tell of her favorite place to watch the water at night. She also had a yummy ice cream cake waiting for us at The Island Creamery. We’ve rented houses many years on Chincoteague & Eagle View was the BEST!

Come and see the ponies and get some sun on the beach

Great views of lighthouse, chairs on dock were filled most of the time. Lots of birds to see we saw an eagle from the dock - refuge is nice but put plenty of bug spray on and long pants and shirt may be in order if hiking - mosquitoes were bad - Beach however was great An hour drive to ocean city to walk the boards. Overall we loved the house and it served us well during some rainy times. Thanks

The week we spend at Eagles View is the BEST week of the year

This is a little piece of heaven. The location could not be better offering total convenience to everything on the island, yet tucked away in a very quiet spot The view of the lighthouse and the canals is so gorgeous and peaceful We love the ability to paddle board, canoe and kyak right from the dock as well as crab for those that are brave enough to handle them The house is very warm and welcoming and very well equipped & maintained We have been returning for many years and literally have watched our grandchildren grow up there. They count the days until they return A great choice for a fabulous family vacation

Beautiful and serene home and location

Our party was three couples and three pre-teen kids. With four bedrooms and three full baths (and a half bath) there was room and privacy for all! You cannot get a better location than this! It is located directly across from the Assateague lighthouse against the marshes. The home is very well appointed and comfortable (even the mattresses)! The three level of decks afforded views from all over, and the dock was perfect. It was easy to get to the town of Chincoteague and to the reserve. We plan to return again!

Nice large home with great location

Excellent location with great views of the bay and lighthouse. The house was great. Not fancy but enough room and privacy for our group of four adults and 3 children. Though a bit outdated inside, it felt homey, cozy, and it was clean. It is close to Assateague and Main St on a backroad way so easy access to the beach, shops and restaurants, but private enough that it was quiet and peaceful. Downside was the requirement to bring all towels and linens which appears to be common on Chincoteague. Also, minor points - couches were quite old and not very comfortable and the WiFi in the house was weak. Overall, it was a fantastic family beach vacation.

On the Marsh

The house was very clean and comfortable. The sun rises over the marsh which affords views of abundant wildlife. The owner graciously treated us to an ice cream cake which we enjoyed for several evenings. The rental agent was most accommodating from our initial contact to the end, even bringing towels to us when the sliding glass door started leaking from the onslaught of heavy wind and rain from a strong storm. Thank you, Ms. Lowe and Stephanie!

Love it!

First, you are being very well served by Stephanie Taylor and Eastern Shore Retreats. Very good customer service. The location is perfect. Being on Piney Island, unless you are staying out there, there is NO traffic or car noise at all. Not only a beautiful view but no boat noise at all. We bring bikes and kayaks along with a power boat that we dock at close by East Side Rentals. Flounder Fishing is good. This will be the third year our family has stayed here, I hope it continues as a family annual tradition. Thank you for all you provide. John Hanna

Beautiful Respite

We thoroughly enjoyed our time away. It was a wonderful house for our group. It was just as described and pictured. We enjoyed the gorgeous view from the deck every day. We brought our bikes and rode them to and through the refuge a few times. We enjoyed crabbing off the pier, and our catch was quite tasty! The house was well supplied with everything we needed. I would recommend bug repellent for sure. Chincoteague overall was pretty buggy, except at our times at the ocean. I guess the breeze was enough to keep them away. It was a great week’s escape from all of our current worries.

A very special place

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Our family had a beautiful restful week. The house was so welcoming with each room being so inviting with the thoughtful decorations. The main floor is a wonderful gathering place with enough space for the kids to play board games and the family to get together in the adjacent kitchen and around the table. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything. The large deck was also a gathering place especially for breakfasts and sunset and we spent hours looking out at the beautiful view spotting ponies in the distance, egrets, herons and the beginnings of the fall migration. The kids loved crabbing off the pier. The house was also very well situated - a short bike ride or drive to Assateague. What a special place thank you for sharing it with us.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah W. Stevens

Host profile image
We live in the heart of Hunt Country in Middleburg, Virginia, on our small farm where we raise Christmas trees, herbs, horses and cows. We love these Blue Ridge Mountains but we also love the ocean and this unique island. Rick is a Realtor, with a Middleburg brokerage specializing in rural properties here in Loudoun County. Karen runs her small gourmet food company from the farm. Together we raise Christmas trees and open our farm to customers who come back year after year for hayrides, hiking on the farm and cutting down their Christmas trees. We also run a vacation guest cottage on our farm called The Hunt Box which is filled with antiques. We've always had horses for our children who showed in the Hunter/Jumper circuit; now our grandchildren are learning to ride as well. We love to relax and read, besides kayaking, antiquing, photography, travel, birdwatching and gardening. We are active in local environmental groups.

Why they chose this property

We vacationed here with our children for years and fell in love with the island! It is quiet, natural and family oriented, unlike many other beach resort areas. We love the educational opportunities and programs that are provided on Assateague, as well as the natural beachfront, wildlife refuge and all the hiking and biking trails. We love to kayak in such a natural setting. We have enjoyed meeting many talented artists and photographers on the island, as well as interesting shop owners. We find it a great source for the enjoyment of fresh seafood. Our children grew up reading 'Misty of Chincoteague' so we enjoy coming down to watch the Saltwater Cowboys in the Spring and Fall Pony Roundups as well as the Annual Pony Roundup, Pony Swim and Auction. The Volunteer Fire Department puts on a great carnival every July, which is great fun!

What makes this property unique

Incredible 180 degree waterview! The private dock, deck, screened porch and third floor balcony provide hours of relaxation and wildlife viewing. Crabbing from our dock provides a great dinner. We appreciate that Little Piney Island has no commerce and no through traffic, so it remains quiet, yet is convenient to everything. We love to kayak through the marshes and over to Assateague Island, and our dock is perfect for it. Star-gazing from the deck in this area with so little light pollution is excellent. Relaxing on the deck or balcony in the evening and hearing the Atlantic Ocean waves crashing on the beach on Assateague is so peaceful and rejuvenating.
