Beautiful views and the house could be spectacular! Lots of dirt, missing cushions, filthy trashcan and kitchen utensils. Needs work and same on VRBO for the glowing pictures and recommendation. I will not be looking to use you again.
Property was fantastic. Havenât been to Chincoteague since I was a child. Beautiful, quaint, friendly town. Rental location perfect. Would visit again.
My husband, son and myself came for my 40th birthday weekend. We lucked out and had almost 60 degree weather and the house was breath taking! I would definitely stay at the grey heron again! Thank you so much

We had a fantastic stay at Grey Heron. The weather was perfect to explore the island and ride bikes in nature preserve. We appreciated that the location was away from the "busy" part of town. Thank you for being dog friendly and allowing our entire family to enjoy your little slice of heaven!
We had a great stay. The house was comfortable overall with cozy couches and bedding. The king bed upstairs could stand to be upgraded or minimally a thick topper placed under the plastic as the bed was the only one in the house that was hard and the plastic directly under the sheet makes your body sweat. It was cold during our stay but we were able to stay warm by running the heat at 75. The hot water heater only allows for 2 short showers at a time so may want to consider an upgrade for a place that size. These things are only meant asher suggestions to make future guests more comfortable, not as complaints as overall we had a wonderful stay and were comfortable in the home. The views were great! The space was well laid out and we were cozy despite the 25 mph wind most days. We did get to enjoy the dock and back deck one day when the wind died down. Would love to return when it's warm out. The locals suggested late Aug or early Sept to avoid the mosquitos.
The house is really shabby, which you can't tell from the pictures. My family didn't even want to go in when we arrived.
During our stay, some contractors came to stain the decks (which we were sitting on at the time). I asked the property management if these men were supposed to be there while we were occupying the house. They responded that it was the property owners' scheduling error and for the inconvenience, they wanted to offer us a credit for one night stay (at a future date). We thought that was a little insulting considering the experience made our stay very uncomfortable and awkward. And, no, we aren't taking the offer. We will stay somewhere nicer next time.
The property was nice. We enjoyed the waterfront and beautiful view. And the private dock was amazing. But the house itself was uncomfortable and in bad shape.
Also, if you book this property, make sure you check your invoices. The property management charged me several hundred dollars more than what I agreed to pay on vrbo. I contacted vrbo to get information as to why that had happened and they said there must have been an error, I should only have to pay what was agreed upon when booking the reservation online (which makes sense). I contacted the property manager about the discrepancy and they said they don't normally adjust their prices based on vrbo listings but they would do it for me once as a courtesy. WHAT?! We had a contract. You can't just raise the price after the agreement. It was strange.
The house is a bit rough around the edges, but comfortable. The upstairs bedroom is glorious. One of the bedrooms is facing the bay and is very pleasant. The other faces the road and gets full sun. It was over 85 in this room in November!
Several broken appliances but plenty of utensils. Great place to have a relaxing stay.
We loved the house layout and the dock was great for fishing. Very easy location for getting around the island. It would be great to have some additional seating in the living room to accommodate a few more people.
Look forward to seeing the upgrades for next year!

Where do I begin? The Grey Heron is the place to be! Beautiful views of the bay from every window. Amazing sunsets!! Spending time on the pier/dock is my favorite - feeling the breeze from the bay. Can't wait for 2023!!

After years of neglect, the property finally got some repairs and upgrades. It is still rough around the edges and not worth the drastic $800 increase in weekly rent over the past two years. The property management promises âfree early check-inâ on the listing but with the check-in information states, âWe cannot allow early access, even for grocery drop off, whiny kids & pets, etc.â Dishonest and passive-aggressive customer service is what they actually offer, apparently.

I loved my retreat at Grey Heron. The owners are making needed repairs but the screen doors don't slide and I fear for the roof which needs looking after. The setting is divine, and the house is spacious and comfortable. I asked for a vacuum cleaner and one arrived the same day. The toaster is very old and a toaster oven would be a major improvement. Otherwise, I loved everything and found the kitchen to be well stocked.
This house is clean and spacious. A spiral staircase leads to the master bedroom with a king sized bed and en suite with the most beautiful views of the bay! There are two smaller bedrooms on the main level, a screened in porch, and another enclosed sun porch with windows. There isn't a bad view in the entire house. It sits across from the historic Timothy Hill house. The Grey Heron is a wonderful place to stay for some serious rest and relaxation.
My husband and I and our two large dogs loved being there and hanging out on the dock or splashing around in the bay. We would absolutely stay at the Grey Heron again.Â
What a wonderful vacation! Spent most of our time on decks and the pier. Beautiful mornings and amazing sunsets!! House is bright and airy. Enjoyed the bay view from almost every window! We are looking forward to our 2022 stay!!

Lovely property, very clean. Such a lovely location. The outside looks like it needs a lot of work, but inside is everything you could hope for. Will return, for sure.

Having stayed here several times, we were not disappointed. Lovely surroundings inside and out. Well-equipped, spacious and perfect sleeping arrangements. We'll be back!
We really enjoyed our weekend stay at this house! It has the best view and sitting outside by the water was extremely relaxing. Our host was always so nice and helpful when we had requests. The kitchen was well equipped, just a little old-fashioned. The location is wonderful for visiting Assateague Island. And don't forget to get an ice cream at the Island Creamery.

We had stayed at Grey Heron several years ago, but then it was no longer pet friendly, so we took it off our list. We then found out it was again pet friendly and we were able to book a few days in the fall. It is a great place to stay. The location is wonderful and the layout of the house is family friendly. The dock is new from the last time we stayed there, which is a nice improvement. The winding steps to the upstairs are a little tricky for an elderly person like me, but itâs worth the effort. The dogs enjoyed their stay also. Our main criteria for rentals are dog friendly and on the water and Grey Heron meets those needs.perfectly. One improvement I might suggest is maybe some stones in the front for parking and entering the house. It might cut down on the amount of sand and pine needles. We also love the Hal Lott pictures. We have three of them ourselves. Thanks again for opening your Chincoteague home to island visitors.
