Family Tides - The tans may fade, but the memories last forever!

Looking for somewhere truly special to spend your Chincoteague Island Family Vacation this year? Look no further, as special doesn't even begin to describe the tranquility and beauty of waterfront Family Tides. This adorable home is located directly on Lewis Creek's deep water, so by all means, bring the boat, kayaks, jet skis, or water toy of choice! With sweeping views of the Marsh, Canal, and Chincoteague Bay, you will feel as if you have found paradise.

Family Tides has all of the touches and charm of a historic island home that you love, plus the modern amenities you need. Located in a fabulous location on Main Street, you can walk or ride your bike almost everywhere you want to be. This adorable 3 Bedroom/1.5 Bath home comfortably sleeps 8, with more than enough room both inside and out to enjoy time together.

As you pull into the driveway, you already know how much you're going to love sitting on the wraparound Front Porch and taking in the Island Views. And you won't have to worry about little ones on the porch, as it is gated for their safety and your peace of mind. Upon entering this delightful home, the Coastal Colors, Exposed Beam Ceiling, and charming Painted Floors will just delight you. Family Tides has a large Living Area with a wall of windows facing the water. With Free WiFi, Satellite Flat Screen TV, and brand new AC/Heat, this is a fabulous place to relax after a fun-filled day on the Beach. And you won't be sacrificing those Water Views to do it - you can take them in right from the comfort of the sofa!

Family Tides was recently purchased by a family who fell in love with this one-of-a-kind home while staying in it as Vacationers themselves! There is also a super convenient Half Bath on the main level of this cozy cottage.

Open the double French Doors and stroll out to your own private waterfront paradise! Family Tides has an awesome Bulkhead suitable to tie up anything from a 16 foot Skiff to a 30 foot boat, and a huge Waterfront Deck with relaxing Adirondacks for taking in those famous Chincoteague Sunsets. There is even a Picnic Table for dining Al Fresco - what a perfect spot for a Crab Feast!
The kids will have a blast fishing and crabbing, and you won't believe the wildlife you will see - everything from Herons, Egrets, and Eagles, to Dolphins, Turtles, and more! The thoughtful Owners have also provide a couple of kayaks for exploring, and some beach chairs so you don't have to pack so much!

Family Tides has several other areas for enjoying family mealtime, as well. Just off the Living Area is an open Dining Area that seats 4-6. As you wander down the hall, you'll find a large Eat-in Kitchen with absolutely everything you need to make family dinners a bay breeze. All of the charm of painted bead-board Country Cabinets and floors, plus every gadget and convenience you could want, including that ever-treasured dishwasher! The large table seats 6, and there is even a little breakfast nook. Don't feel like cooking on vacation? Take a stroll down the street to one of many awesome dining establishments and try our famous salty, sweet Chincoteague Oysters or a traditional Fried Flounder Sandwich. With any luck, you'll be having a fish-fry of your own with the Flounder you catch in your own backyard!

Upstairs are 3 Bedrooms, each with a delightful uniqueness you will love. Turning to the left at the top of the stairs, you'll find the Library with fabulous Built-in Bookcases and lots of storage. This room opens to the enormous Master Bedroom that will take your breath away. A comfortable King Bed awaits you, and you're very own Waterfront Sitting Area with comfy Wicker Furniture and another wall of windows overlooking Lewis Creek below. Just imagine enjoying your morning coffee here before anyone else is stirring. Soaring ceilings and more Exposed Beams make this room a very special place to wake up every morning.

We had a great time fishing out back! The house was beautiful and the little ones loved to run and play on the wrap around front porch and out back in the sand. Very cozy.

This home lived up to it's name Family tides, everything was comfortable as if you were home. We enjoyed being able to go out the back door to fish (kids really loved this). I wish there was outside lighting in the back to enjoy sitting after dark. We would definitely return in the future

Charming home and island
Lovely stay in this charming home on the creek on the island of Chincoteague. Home is comfortably updated, furnished and stocked with everything needed - including beach accessories. The creek this home sits on is quick moving, so families be ready with life preservers for kiddos who may tend to get close to the edge of the dock. Fun to watch the fishing boats float by and see some wildlife across the water!

Weekend getaway
This rental is directly on the water - so if you like to kayak or boat - it’s ideal. The house was very clean. The only issue I had is that I couldn’t quite figure out the heating / cooling using the remotes - which seemed locked to a certain temperature

A Perfect Getaway!
We absolutely loved this property! The layout of the house is unique and the home has tons of charm but is still updated. We traveled with our 4 yr old and 2 yr old so we really appreciated all the toys and books that were available. My daughter unfortunately got sick one night so the washer/dryer being available was a life saver! The location of the property was perfect! We spent a lot of time outside watching wildlife and fishing. The house has everything you need and is close to shopping/restaurants. I’m especially thankful for the rental company getting the property ready earlier for us then expected. We drove down early and went right to the beach where my daughter cut her eyelid, so we were thankful to be able to take her to the property and get her cleaned up! Communication and service were top notch! Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our vacation stay in Chincoteague. We will be back next year!

Great family getaway
We had been to Chincoteague a few years ago and have been wanting to go back ever since. Our family has grown and we were looking for a place to take our 2 and 5 year olds. This was perfect. The house was clean, everyone had their own rooms, and the toys topped it off. My 5 year old loved taking the tandem kayak out in the bay and fishing from the dock. It was close enough to walk to ice cream and restaurants. Definitely will be a top choice of houses to rent when we go on our next vacation.

Great location
We visited Chincoteague for a long weekend over veteran’s day. The house was very comfortable. We’ll appointed kitchen and access to streaming services on the TVs. A short drive to Asateague island for beach, hiking trails, and ponies. About a 10 minute walk to restaurants on the other side of Main Street. Always get oysters!!! One restaurant, Chicotiki was still open for out door dining. Great to watch the sunset. The best feature was the dock out back. Great place for coffee in the morning and bird watching. Super quiet.

Even More Than Expected!
This is a beautiful property in a great location. The house is much larger than the pictures show, so it was perfect for 2 "well-aged" women, 2 thirty somethings, an 11 year old, and a 5 year old. The master bedroom is big enough for a small family(!), and the bunk bed is cozy, with a good amount of space. The third bedroom is a double bed, and it's tiny, but had plenty of space for a single person. We got full use of the outdoors, and had a lot of fun fishing off the deck and kayaking. It was lovely to do our thing all day, only to arrive back at the house to enjoy the outdoors even more.

We had such a great stay at Family Tides. The location was perfect. The wildlife was amazing (dolphins swam down the canal behind the house). There were seven of us and the house was just the perfect size. If you are thinking about going to Chincoteague - just book this house and go!

Therapeutic View
Very clean! The location is great to walk to shops and restaurants; it is in the heart of downtown. House has everything you might need; toys, thousands of books, albums and record player, TVs, and beach gear. The backyard has a therapeutic view of the water. Water front! The driveway is tight, too close to the neighbors, but not a big deal.

Family Friendly
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Family Tides. The sandy area in the yard was perfect for entertaining the kids and my husband enjoyed paddle boarding from the dock. Since it was April, it was quite chilly at night, so we were thankful we brought extra blankets. There was a dishwasher, but it was very old, which did not make us want to use it. The washer and dryer were very helpful, especially with kids (you just need to bring your own detergent as there wasn’t any at the house). The master bedroom was spacious and comfortable, and it was definitely the best room of the house. Our kids really enjoyed the record player in the living room and the toys!
