Overall this was a big property that worked well for a family vacation. Multiple rooms and plenty of space to have a great home-base for a trip with kids that required multiple stops to recharge.

Our 2nd visit!

We stayed in this property for 4 weeks in 2020, and were happy to return, this time just for 4 days. We brought the whole family this time, with 10 of us in the house. We had plenty of room. It’s such a great location, too. We’re already looking forward to coming back a 3rd time someday.

Clean spacious house

Upstairs master bathroom toilet wasn’t working, which was a bummer - but not unbearable (at least shower was functional). My family has been coming here for years & we love the location & spaciousness of the house. Hopefully we’ll be back next year too.

Great location!

We had a great trip! It definitely wasn't the cleanest place we've stayed at and when you walk in it has a heavy smell of must/moth balls. There was tons of room and we could all spread out and not feel crowded around each other. The location is absolutely perfect! The house contact person was very kind and personable.

House is very big and spacious. Love,love,loved it. Had a very nice stay washer and dryer is very convenient when staying for a week like we did. I've already recommended it to friends looking to book for next year. It's easy to find. Right down the street from the shops and restaurants. Would love to come back.

Family Vacation

The house was big with plenty of spaces for our whole family to spread out as well as the large eat in kitchen/family room where we all ate and spent time together. The location is great and we were able to walk to shops and restaurants. We had a couple issues but they were addressed right away. It is a big old house with a downstairs bedroom which is great for older family members. The diwnstairs bathroom is small, but the owner is in the process of remodeling the bathrooms. Overall we loved being together there and would stay again.

Nice big house in a very convenient location!

The house was perfect for a post-Christmas mini-break with my adult children from out of state. With 5 bedrooms and two living spaces, there was plenty of room for everyone. It is an older home, but it was kept very clean. The kitchen was up-to-date with all new appliances. It was an interesting sort of house because there were architectural and design styles from a bunch of different eras, and this made it very unique. The location right as you come into town is great because it was easy to get to and there is a lot you can walk to. Nice water views from the front of the house.

Stay on the Island

We all enjoyed the space!!! There were a few issues - concrete blocks underneath the master bed, master toilet wasn’t working, the ice maker couldn’t keep up and water was an issue on Sunday. Bathtub wouldn’t drain, toilets weren’t flushing properly and water was coming out from underneath the house. I also have never stayed in a VRBO that I had to make the beds. We loved the location but overall the issues out weighed the location.

Better than the listing

We were thrilled with this property. The pictures do not do the house justice. The rooms are large and reasonably furnished. We had 9 adults and a 2-year old. We had plenty of space to spread out. At the same time the common areas were large enough for all of us. The TV's have been replaced with nice sized flat screens. Plenty of parking with room for the dogs to run around outside. Sheets, pillows, and towels were all provided which is a nice plus. The negatives are minor. The shower downstairs is very small, the house only has 1 refrigerator, and the upstairs deck has no furniture. We are planning to stay here again the next time that we come to Chincoteague.

Retired nurses reunion

The owner was easy to contact. Not sure who the manager was. The place was a great size for a group of eight, Handyman fixed the sink that was flowing slowly. It was not as clean as we expected, we’re down one toilet due to a leak, mattress in bedroom upstairs needs replacing, sheets were not on our beds. The place was very outdated with wallpaper being torn in places, dust bunnies in kitchen next to refrigerator. The front door was locked, but would have been easy to break into,felt unsafe & secure locks with codes would have been better. Overall, the experience was a little unsettling. The presentation on the website was misleading.

Disappointed to say the least

Good things first, location of house is great. Right in middle of town, walking distance to plenty. Size of home is great, we had a full house with grandkids, small pet, three grown kids and sig others. Tons of room. Not great parts- at check in , housekeeper was staying in the home from night before and had to gather her belongings before anyone could enter. She left McDonald’s bags behind. Cleaning is not a thing- corners with dust and cobwebs, a broken kitchen window over sink we had to go outside to push close and hope it didn’t fall off. Kitchen was covered in ants even offer spraying with bug spray repeatedly. Main bedroom had adjoining bathroom that the lights did not work. Immediately notified owner who sent out his property person two days later and he said , “I can’t fix it”. But while he was there he did get the down stairs AC on which was not for the first two days. Upstairs hallways have the wallpaper ripped off walls, main bathroom has a piece of wood fixing a hole in the floor , etc. However my personal main complaint was walking in to a metal screen door sitting in the foyer with nuts and bolts on the floor. Notified owner to which I was told “ I knew the door came down in a storm”. While my husband took the door outside so no one got hurt, I was playing with my grandkids and ended up falling in that foyer on the pieces and broke my toe. Day one of vacation. Also had to buy a propane tank for the grill in order to eat. . .

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Alexander

Host profile image
Hello! I am a sales manager for a Fortune 500 Company and am thrilled that you are interested in possibly renting our vacation property. My wife (Alicia) and I have 3 wonderful daughters and a puppy. Fletcher, the English Lab you see in the picture recently went to doggy heaven but he was such a part of our lives when we visited Chincoteague we saw this picture and thought he should be a part of the greeting since he was such a happy and fun loving dog to all. We currently reside in Hockessin, DE but I have been vacationing in Chincoteague since I was 5 years old. Chincoteague has so much to offer in what I like to do (i.e. fishing, boating, beach, claming, crabbing, jogging, biking, etc) that it makes it hard to leave when we visit.

Why they chose this property

Once you see Rachel's Delight you will see why it is an attraction on the island. Ever since I was a little boy I had always admired the house with the big white pillars. It is literally one of the larger homes on the island so when it came up for sale back in 2009 I gathered my wife and my father up to find the means to purchase. We lucked out and the rest is history.

What makes this property unique

Rachel's Delight is spacious so you will find plenty of room to get away for privacy or to congregate with family / friends. It's convenience to Main Street really make the home a special place since it takes away the hassle of parking and managing busy streets.
