Make fabulous Vacation Memories at Family Tides Vacation Rental on Chincoteague

Family Tides - The tans may fade, but the memories last forever!

Looking for somewhere truly special to spend your Chincoteague Island Family Vacation this year? Look no further, as special doesn't even begin to describe the tranquility and beauty of waterfront Family Tides. This adorable home is located directly on Lewis Creek's deep water, so by all means, bring the boat, kayaks, jet skis, or water toy of choice!

Family Tides was recently purchased by a family who fell in love with this one-of-a-kind home while staying in it as Vacationers themselves! There is also a super convenient Half Bath on the main level of this cozy cottage.

Open the double French Doors and stroll out to your own private waterfront paradise! Family Tides has an awesome Bulkhead suitable to tie up anything from a 16 foot Skiff to a 30 foot boat, and a huge Waterfront Deck with relaxing Adirondacks for taking in those famous Chincoteague Sunsets.

The thoughtful Owners have also provide a couple of kayaks for exploring, and some beach chairs so you don't have to pack so much!

Family Tides has several other areas for enjoying family mealtime, as well. Just off the Living Area is an open Dining Area that seats 4-6. As you wander down the hall, you'll find a large Eat-in Kitchen with absolutely everything you need to make family dinners a bay breeze. All of the charm of painted bead-board Country Cabinets and floors, plus every gadget and convenience you could want, including that ever-treasured dishwasher! The large table seats 6, and there is even a little breakfast nook. Don't feel like cooking on vacation? Take a stroll down the street to one of many awesome dining establishments and try our famous salty, sweet Chincoteague Oysters or a traditional Fried Flounder Sandwich. With any luck, you'll be having a fish-fry of your own with the Flounder you catch in your own backyard!

Upstairs are 3 Bedrooms, each with a delightful uniqueness you will love. Turning to the left at the top of the stairs, you'll find the Library with fabulous Built-in Bookcases and lots of storage.

Great location, cool historical house
Fresh updates to a cozy historical house made this very comfortable, but also plugged in with the overall vibe in Chincoteague. We enjoyed sitting out on the wraparound porch, sitting down by the water, and even just catching the sunset from the master bedroom. A couple games and toys were more than enough for our kids to enjoy. While it may be true anywhere on the island, we really loved being a short drive or walk from everything we wanted to do.

Great weekend
We had a great weekend at Family Tides. The house is within walking distance to the Island Creamery and the Downtown area. The kitchen has all the equipment/utensils needed to cook great meals, the large book collection was enjoyed as much as the toys and games available. Our kids appreciated especially the outside area and the dock at the back of the house.

Enjoyable
This home lived up to it's name Family tides, everything was comfortable as if you were home. We enjoyed being able to go out the back door to fish (kids really loved this). I wish there was outside lighting in the back to enjoy sitting after dark. We would definitely return in the future

Charming home and island
Lovely stay in this charming home on the creek on the island of Chincoteague. Home is comfortably updated, furnished and stocked with everything needed - including beach accessories. The creek this home sits on is quick moving, so families be ready with life preservers for kiddos who may tend to get close to the edge of the dock. Fun to watch the fishing boats float by and see some wildlife across the water!

Weekend getaway
This rental is directly on the water - so if you like to kayak or boat - it’s ideal. The house was very clean. The only issue I had is that I couldn’t quite figure out the heating / cooling using the remotes - which seemed locked to a certain temperature

A Perfect Getaway!
We absolutely loved this property! The layout of the house is unique and the home has tons of charm but is still updated. We traveled with our 4 yr old and 2 yr old so we really appreciated all the toys and books that were available. My daughter unfortunately got sick one night so the washer/dryer being available was a life saver! The location of the property was perfect! We spent a lot of time outside watching wildlife and fishing. The house has everything you need and is close to shopping/restaurants. I’m especially thankful for the rental company getting the property ready earlier for us then expected. We drove down early and went right to the beach where my daughter cut her eyelid, so we were thankful to be able to take her to the property and get her cleaned up! Communication and service were top notch! Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our vacation stay in Chincoteague. We will be back next year!

Great family getaway
We had been to Chincoteague a few years ago and have been wanting to go back ever since. Our family has grown and we were looking for a place to take our 2 and 5 year olds. This was perfect. The house was clean, everyone had their own rooms, and the toys topped it off. My 5 year old loved taking the tandem kayak out in the bay and fishing from the dock. It was close enough to walk to ice cream and restaurants. Definitely will be a top choice of houses to rent when we go on our next vacation.

Great location
We visited Chincoteague for a long weekend over veteran’s day. The house was very comfortable. We’ll appointed kitchen and access to streaming services on the TVs. A short drive to Asateague island for beach, hiking trails, and ponies. About a 10 minute walk to restaurants on the other side of Main Street. Always get oysters!!! One restaurant, Chicotiki was still open for out door dining. Great to watch the sunset. The best feature was the dock out back. Great place for coffee in the morning and bird watching. Super quiet.

Even More Than Expected!
This is a beautiful property in a great location. The house is much larger than the pictures show, so it was perfect for 2 "well-aged" women, 2 thirty somethings, an 11 year old, and a 5 year old. The master bedroom is big enough for a small family(!), and the bunk bed is cozy, with a good amount of space. The third bedroom is a double bed, and it's tiny, but had plenty of space for a single person. We got full use of the outdoors, and had a lot of fun fishing off the deck and kayaking. It was lovely to do our thing all day, only to arrive back at the house to enjoy the outdoors even more.

My heart is still there...
We had such a great stay at Family Tides. The location was perfect. The wildlife was amazing (dolphins swam down the canal behind the house). There were seven of us and the house was just the perfect size. If you are thinking about going to Chincoteague - just book this house and go!
