The purple door at the bay.

When you see the purple door you will know you have made it to your vacation spot. You will find stunning views any time of the day. Then at dawn or dusk you will think you are in a painting. This property has a full kitchen, living room with 2 couches, two nice size bedrooms with queen size beds, there is a full bathroom with a garden tub with a shower. Then you will find a spiral stair case that leads to the 3rd floor with a couch, another full bathroom with a shower, another queen size bed and the best view you would ever hope to find. On the outside you will find a balcony and a private peer.

Finally, I also need to know what make, model, tag number & color of your vehicle that you plan to use while staying at The Purple Door on the Bay.

Property was slightly run down and had no driveway (just grass). It was in a great neighborhood with a beautiful view. We had to take the trash 15 minutes south when leaving (in the opposite direction of home for us). It was good enough for us to relax and cook but a slight bit expensive for its outdated condition though.

Captain’s cove is an interesting location geographically. and this house has one of the best locations in captains cove. Great place to have a boat!!! The club house has a nice dinner service. My wife and I enjoyed seafood and a cocktail and my kids liked the pizza and brownie ice-cream sundae. My kids feel in love with this house!

All about the view and wonderful neighbors

Had an Awsome 8 days , views were amazing from just about everywhere in the house. Fishing was good from dock, crabbing was slow, a little late in the season. Beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The restaurant just down the street had very good food, especially the fish tacos. No issues at all during our stay. Beautiful club house, indoor pool and golf course.

Best of Captains Cove

Impressive bay side views. You can’t be more waterfront than this. And there are multiple vacant lots around the property so it feels very private. The breeze was amazing. If you have the chance to rent here do not hesitate. A tip, bring your own food. The marina restaurant doesn’t provide take-out, The grocery is a 2.0 minute drive so stop prior.

Purple Door Stay

Property has a great view of the water across to Chicateague. I could have sat on the deck looking at that view all day but the heat wouldn’t let me. Way too hot outside. Kelly was tremendous answering any concern. Only negative is if you want to go to Chicateague it is a 30 minute drive.

Nice location

It is beautiful by the water and nice neighbors. The property was clean and description accurate and enjoyed the water and snacks left. Only improvements would be to add some sauce pans but n kitchen. We had to use fry pans to boil and also it would be nice to know the extras like swimming at club house so I would have brought a bathing suit.no instructions about trash so had to ask about that. It was a nice stay though and enjoyed iy

Nice location

This was our 5th trip to the Chincoteague area. House has great views and quiet location, private dock and a plus that our pets could be with us. House was not ready (cleaned) at our check in time which was disappointing after a 7 hr trip. I would suggest you take your own paper products, there are no napkins, paper towels or towels to was dishes. Also there's NO Wifi available.

Inaccurate description regarding sleeping and wifi. 35 minutes from Chincoteague and Assoteague Islands. House was nice though. Neighbors are not friendly. They call security on you if you keep an outside light on. Hope you dont mind your vehicle being broken into

Great place to relax

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We needed a quiet peaceful place. The view of Chincoteague Bay from a spacious deck and it's sunsets are gorgeous. The indoor stairs are circular so guests with mobility issues will have difficulty entering at the ground level and going to main level. Those circular stairs also lead to a lovely loft living/bath/bedroom area. The other entry is a set of outdoor steps to the deck. From the house, Chincoteague Island is about a 20 minute ride through beautiful countryside that takes you by Wallops Island NASA/Goddard flight center. Their visitors center has interesting information about the area's contribution to sub-orbital and weather research. Asateague is only a bit further where the wild ponies can be viewed. Asateague beach offers fun in the sun on the Atlantic coast. Thanks, Kelly for a lovely vacation.
