  • Porch is nice to eat on but.....
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/31/09
    We have visited the restaurant several times and each time upon entering, were left standing at the door trying to be acknowledged as a prospective diner. There apparently is no hostess and everyone was just standing around or walking by us like we did not exist. If the restaurant was busy that would be understandable but each time we have been ...

  • Chincoteague Island
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/29/09
    This is just a small fishing village. Very quaint. If you are looking for action then this wouldn't be the place, but if you are looking for just a nice quiet time exploring nature, fishing and crabbing then it is great! The Best Western was great. They were so nice and accomondating. It was little nosey from time to time but we have kids ...

  • Chincoteague, VA
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/09/09
    It's an unkept impoverished town that happens to have a beach. The stores are covered with dirt and stains and filled with sickly looking locals. The beach had monster-trucks racing in the sand around people. Low class bars, greasy spoons and "discount" groceries are the only places to eat. Our condo was filty, stained and full of animal hair. The beach was sort of nice when it was virtually empty.

  • Loved Snug Harbor!!!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/26/09
    We absolutely loved Snug Harbor!!! The owners/operators were very pleasant and accommodating. Our cottage was more than we expected. Perfect size, clean and quaint. Location was quiet but very close to everything. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets, beautiful marina, tiki bars, sand, a gorgeous setting to have morning coffee or carry your dinner ...

  • Don't waste your time on the Explorer
    By Mike, 09/10/08
    What should have been a highlight of our vacation turned out to be a boring, amateurish, and expensive waste of time.

    Think the brochure: "what memories are made of", and "You'll experience a special time of day in a special place where dolphins, birds and ponies find solitude."

    Experience reality: Pontoon boat with no ...

  • AVOID Assateague Explorer boat tour
    By Julie, 08/06/08
    First I'll say the beach at Chincoteague is fabulous and the island is nice and quiet if you prefer that to the more partying type of beach places. They have a movie theatre and putt putt and trails to hike bike or drive. Do not go on the Assateague Explorer Boat tour. They promise remote areas to see the ponies, and the pictures they show ...

  • The Sea Shell Cafe
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/09/08
    When you are in the mood for something a little different, be sure and check out the Sea Shell Café. On Maddox Boulevard just before the entrance to the Refuge, the Sea Shell has sandwiches, salads and pastas In the evening the dinners are great. A bit different than the standard menu found elsewhere on the island.

  • Not a nice area
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/07
    We vacationed here in August, just got back actually and we were very let down. From the moment we checked in our hotel and the lady at the front desk was having a conversation with someone else and using some colorful language. That is not very professional and we found that to be true of most places on this island that we visited. There ...

  • no class!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/07
    Chincoteague Island is dirty and full of juvenile deliquents. Why would anyone want to spend their hard earned money vacationing here? I don't get it at all. The locals are very rude and the hotels are more expensive then they should be. This is an island that definitely needs to get some class!
