Thanksgiving Stay in East Point

Our family had a great time staying there for Thanksgiving. The house was charming and beautifully decorated in the style of the Eastern Shore. Plenty of space to hang out or spread out! The kids really loved the Turtle Room We would certainly stay here again!

Wonderful Getaway!

My husband and I loved our stay at the Whimsical Cottage. We enjoyed the eclectic touches in each room. The view from the porch of the marina/water was beautiful. The beach was around the corner, an easy walk or bike ride. Again, beautiful views. The hosts are so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to welcome us. The town is small and cute. We enjoyed walking around. Highly recommend this cottage. We hope to be back (and try their other rental as well). Only minus is the iffy internet at times, but who really needs the internet when you are surrounded by such natural beauty!!

Loved this place

This delightful house exceeded our expectations. It was charming and comfortable, well located (quiet neighborhood but interesting scenery in the form of the marina across the road), and full of options for leisure, entertainment, and recreation! In between our day excursions in the area, we enjoyed taking out the kayaks and the bikes, sitting on the screened porch with tea or wine and looking out at the water, and walking over to the small private beach around sunset as recommended. The wi-fi worked great and we watched a couple movies as well. We felt right at home. Would definitely recommend to friends and would stay again!

Beautiful get away with the nicest people

Absolutely loved it! So relaxing and peaceful! What a gorgeous old farm house with all of the essentials to relax and enjoy! They have kayaks and bikes for the outdoors ! Games , cornhole, music, dvds and a beautiful kitchen to cook in! If you feel like cooking up some crab they have a fabulous crab pot you connect to a bbq propane tank so you can cook it outside and have yourself a crab boil! If you don’t want to go far they have a private beach the sand is wonderful I can walk without water shoes just beware the pine cones they are a little spikes very different from NY . Make sure you catch the sunset absolutely breathtaking and you can catch the sunrise by the beautiful dock in front of the house! The owners are wonderful and available for recommendations for restaurants or any other adventures are your list! We loved Bizottis and ate there twice! Maurice’s was very goo I loved the crab/lobster bisque and don’t forget the octopus so good! And if you have a sweet tooth if I could bring a whole cake home I would it’s a crème brûlée cheesecake omg unbelievable! Enjoy and go visit but better hurry they will probably book up fast!

AMAZING, WARM, HOME AWAY FROM HOME

We needed a restful place to get away since we are taking care of our 94 year old mother with dementia and work is extremely stressful at this time. What a beautiful home, so warm, so cozy and something interesting in every corner! We asked our friends to come over to visit one day since we have been unable to be together for some time (they have a place at Trails End in Horntown). My friend was extremely impressed by the Farmhouse décor, we marveled at the beach and seashore items in every corner, we LOVED it! We only had the weekend and I told her I was thrilled to stay in such a gorgeous home – filled with antiques and collectables, looking out over the water. Without even going out there are so many unique items to see! We love museums and felt as if we were privileged to live in and leisurely investigate all the many priceless artifacts. Collette was such a gracious host, making sure we had all we needed. Bikes and kayaks were provided, a welcome book detailing all the local sites and best places to eat, nothing was left undone. I want to thank Colette and Larry for opening their home to us – you have done an amazing job! What an extremely helpful and gracious host - they clearly love what they do in providing such a welcoming “home away from home!”

Nicely renovated Eastern Shore Farmhouse

Colette was a great host. She provided us with a wealth of information on the area including eating and drinking establishments and things to do. The house is in the waterfront community of East Point convenient to Onancock. Easy day trips to Cape Charles and Wachepreague. The house overlooks the community marina with great views. There is also a community beach with beautiful sunsets. I would certainly recommend the house for a stay on the ESV.

Beautiful

Onancock is beautiful and very relaxing.. we slept better than we have in a long time. The clean, pure air alone is a relief. The house is a gem. City people needing a break can experience the stars again, and yes clean air, plus quiet but for sounds of the surf. Nice, decent, down to earth people in Accomack County will look you in the eye and say “good morning”. Took me off guard at first. Onancock and Accomack county, I hesitate to even write this review because I don’t want the rest of the world to see it and come and spoil you. But if you want to breathe clean air, listen to nothing but surf, stay in a comfy house, get to know the stars again and be amongst people who look each other in the eye and say “good morning”, this is the place to be

Home away from home

This home is so fun to stay at. Beautiful on inside and out and so much to keep everyone entertained. This is definitely a place to relax and enjoy nature! We had a great time riding bikes in the area, crabbing, playing games that the house provides, relaxing on screened porch watching the boats come in and out, going to the areas private beach to enjoy sunset, and spending time in the quaint town of Onancock. The owner was so kind to send us information on activities going on in town and communicating everything we needed to know and responding quickly to questions. I would highly recommend a stay in this home!! We would definitely come back!!!

Peaceful and charming getaway

A great place for a family vacation to recharge and relax. Private and secluded, yet close enough for an easy 30-45 minute drive to other areas on the eastern shore. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the front porch watching the birds and listening to the water. The house is beautifully decorated, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Beds are comfy, AC works great, and there is no shortage of items to use in the home. Very positive communication with the owner, quick responses. We are so happy we chose this home for our rental this year and look forward to returning very soon!

The farmhouse was perfect for our stay on the Shore. Loved the kayaks, friendly and peaceful neighborhood, beautiful sunsets, and the well-appointed and comfortable home. We spent hours enjoying the front porch and nearby bayside beach and appreciated the proximity to Onancock and other destinations on the beautiful Eastern Shore.

Wonderful neighborhood and home

This house is in a great spot right across from the marina and about a block from a small private beach. It's a very quiet neighborhood. The house was everything I expected from the listing and the host was very friendly and helpful. I would love to go back. Just a couple notes depending on your travel group and preferences: The house has steps up or down into each room and from the hallways so it could be challenging for older guests or those with mobility issues. Also, guests are asked to wash and dry all towels so it is best to bring your own for a shower the day of check out. We really enjoyed our time there and made use of the dartboard, corn hole and games provided. There are also bikes and kayaks available. Overall, just a very wonderful, peaceful place.

Met our expectations and more!

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Whimsical farmhouse. The view was lovely, the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We found it to be a good location to explore the area. The enclosed front porch and/or the screen porch were our favorite places to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and altho the area restaurants were fine, our best seafood meals were at home.
