The Porpoise of Life by Seaside Vacations & Sales

  • Have you ever asked yourself what the purpose of life is? Here at Seaside, we believe it’s all about spending time with those that matter most, and making memories you’ll cherish forever. And if you can make the time, we’ve got the most amazing home to tell you about…..

    Welcome to The Porpoise of Life in the very heart of Chincoteague Island. This beautiful Brand New home sits on the Waterfront on South Main - THE place to be for spectacular Sunsets, and overlooks the pristine Chincoteague Bay in the front, and Fowling Gut in the back! Stunning on both the inside and the outside, get ready to be wow’ed!

    As you pull into the driveway, you can’t help but notice The Porpoise of Life’s classic Coastal Cape good looks. With multiple Decks facing the Water, just imagine sipping your morning coffee while watching Herons, Eagles, and Egrets fish for their morning meal - so peaceful. In the backyard you’ll find a Private Pier and Floating Dock over the Gut - the kids will have a blast Crabbing, and the Floating Dock makes launching your Kayak super easy. And out front, you'll find a Brand New Private Pier right on the Chincoteague Bay!

    Wandering upstairs, Colors of Sand and Sea will warmly welcome you into this stunning Custom Home. You’ll love relaxing in the Living Area with Flat Screen Streaming TV and rich furnishings. You’ll sink into the Navy Leather Sectional and never want to leave - you can gaze at the Water from the sofa. There’s even a cozy Fireplace for those chilly off-season stays - one of our favorite times on our Little Island by the Sea. The Porpoise of Life’s Open Layout is perfect for how we live today - light and bright - perfect for spending time together without ever feeling crowded.

    The Chef in your family will adore the Kitchen with Stainless Appliances and gleaming Quartz Countertops. It’s well-stocked and ready for family mealtime. Grab a quick bite at the Breakfast Nook before hitting the Beach, or dine in the luxurious Dining Area and take in lovely Views. Just off the Living Area, you’ll also find a Sunroom just begging for Happy Hour with a fun Surfboard Bar, tons of Games to enjoy, and absolutely breathtaking Water Views.

    The Porpoise of Life sleeps 6 more than comfortably with 3 Bedrooms and 3 Full Baths.

Bedroom 2 also has access to a Private Water View Balcony with lounging furniture and awesome Views.

Beautiful home in the bay

Accommodations were lovely. This home is very well-appointed with several items in the kitchen. We loves the porch and rocking chairs and watching the geese and ducks in the marshy pond. Wonderful views. Great location.

Very nice home in a quiet location overlooking the water. We enjoyed watching the tides go in and out each day and the birds along with it. House was clean and I noticed that even the outdoors was clean, many rental houses never clean their outdoors areas but this one was free of bugs and spider webs and any major dirt. We were there 5 nights and had just one set of towels for each of us so I asked for more towels but was told that seaside vacations provides just one set for each guest during the stay so if you don't want to wash towels on your vacation, bring extras with you. Also, the beds had ultra soft tops, which isn't our preference but some people may like that. All in all, a nice place for our family of 6.

Everything exceeded my expectations significantly

This is one of those houses where the pictures don't tell the story about how nice it really is. Sometimes you just have to see it for yourself. The house is beautiful. Everything is appointed very nicely and really gives you the 'beach house' feeling (upscale beach house). I will definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay here! The house was clean and had everything we needed for cooking. It felt quiet and outside town but still very close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Hope to come back soon!

What a wonderful vacation!

The house was so clean and comfortable! The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The views from the balconies were outstanding. We will definitely rent this house again!

Overall Nice

Enjoyed our stay. The view of lots of construction and junk wasn't the best but the owners can't really help that.

Top notch quality stay!

The place was beautiful and new. Very clean and well stocked with anything you could need. The large deck of the front was a great place to relax and enjoy bay views. When battling some inclement weather, the bright sun room was a great place to enjoy drinks with a view still. Couldn’t have stayed in better place. Highly recommend staying here on a quieter more secluded part of the island.

Family vacation

My family consisting of my husband, myself, and our adult children and their loved ones stayed here for a week. The property was very comfortable and suited us very well. Perfect location for us to reunite and bond as a family together. Only gripe I have is that the railings could have been washed before our stay. Everyone who touched them got dirt on their hands or clothing.
