Wonderful place to stay at for a quiet getaway
The Garden and Sea Inn is a great place to get away for a quiet vacation or wonderful place to stay if going to Chincoteague beach, VA (only 20 minutes away). Room was spacious, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Grace is a wonderful host, and the free breakfast she prepared was plentiful and tasty.

Amazing place, we’ll be coming back
This is an amazing place to stay if you are looking for a quiet romantic stay with your SO. If you have a pet - make sire you bring a crate for them. They have a pet policy that’s listed on their website but not on hotels.com, so a) pet stay is extra and is charged upon arrival b) pets are not allowed on beds and furniture, so if you want to avoid cleaning fee - bring a crate with you (or you can buy a cheap one at a local walmart) They serve amazing breakfast and their amenities are outstanding

Thank you for the amazing review! We're so glad to have met the two of you and hope to see you both and your furry friend again soon. We only ask that folks let us know at time of booking if they are bringing a pet because not all rooms are pet-friendly and they fill up quickly since it's so hard to find pet-friendly lodging in this area. Thank you again and take care!

Wonderful gardens around the grounds! Only a short drive to the beach, and the room was fantastic. The owners are so warm and friendly and made us feel at home instantly. Will recommend to everyone!

What an enchanting osasis. The owners were welcoming. Proud of their property and added special touches throughout to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. Everything was well maintained and had modern conveniences but retained the charm and uniqueness of the historic Victorian. Grace is a wonderful host. We plan to visit again.

Very charming place with gracious and personable hosts. Loved the place and the people. Definitely would like to go back again. While they allow pets, they require the pets to be crated if you leave the rooms. This was a problem for us since we don't have a crate for our dogs and the national park in the area doesn't allow dogs even in the car. A closed enclosure outside would be a nice idea for others in our situation.

Thank you for your nice review. Our guests often use anna's pet sitting in Chincoteague to visit the refuge or they go to the pet friendly beaches near the Inn and the many dog friendly places to hike.

Comfortable room but beware of strict house rules: showing up 15 mn late for breakfast may earn you a surly scolding from the owner.

We are glad you liked your free upgraded room with the jetted tub and screened porch on the first floor. Our policies are listed on our website as well as in your confirmation email. They are for the safety of both our guests and ourselves as I am a cancer patient undergoing chemo and radiation treatments. Breakfast reservation times are chosen in order for us to socially distance our guests during Covid-19. Masks are required upon entering and leaving our dining room in our home. My mask may have made if difficult for you to see my smile, but they are necessary for safety. I may have been a little tired after waiting for your 11pm arrival after check-in time. We work hard to take care of all our guests and make sure everyone is safe, comfortable and enjoy their stay in our home.

Cute B&B convenient to Chincoteague
Relaxing stay convenient to Chincoteague. Hosts were warm and welcoming. My boyfriend and I enjoyed breakfast, sunset at the pool, and talking on the screened-in porch in addition to Assateague/Chincoteague adventuring nearby. New innkeepers are diligent about making improvements to the historic property. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend.
