Most rentals in the historic center are either small apartments or lack dedicated outdoor space; this property breaks that mold by offering a full quarter-acre lot just steps from Main Street. It is the perfect choice for the "slow traveler" who wants to enjoy a barbecue in the backyard one night and walk to a five-star seafood dinner the next. The inclusion of modern necessities like a dishwasher and laundry machines makes it a practical choice for families, while the historic charm appeals to those seeking a more soulful connection to the island.
Furthermore, the cottage’s location on Mumford Street places you near the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and the Assateague Lighthouse, both of which are just a short drive or bike ride away. Choosing this cottage means you are not just renting a room, but securing a piece of the island's history. The ability to live in a residential neighborhood allows you to experience the true rhythm of Chincoteague—from the morning calls of local gulls to the spectacular colors of the sunset over the bay. For a truly authentic Virginia coastal experience, this downtown cottage stands out as a premier selection for your next getaway.
