Hotels near beach near Downtown Chincoteague

"Check-in was quick and easy. Staff were super attentive and incredibly helpful. My husband and I were looking for moderately priced, casual, local seafood and Ellie gave us THE BEST recommendation. Captain Zach's was fire!! Thank you! Hotel had gorgeous nautical decor and was clean and updated. Room was wonderful. Plenty of parking. Everything we needed and would expect. Mini fridge/freezer combo a plus. View from our 1st floor patio was lovely and we enjoyed the view of the bay at sunset. We left our room and walked a bit around the dock area behind the building for a few minutes this was great. Only thing that could use improvement was the included breakfast. Sausage was good, but eggs were a bit bland, and pancake was rubbery. Also no bagels. Would recommend adding bagels as an option and maybe consider doing French toast instead of those pancakes, or maybe little waffles? There are a lot of creative ways this could be improved. Overall experience was very good though. We would recommend and return again😊."

"Very happy with the location"

"Let me just say… Waterside Inn understood the assignment before I even knew what assignment I needed. This was my very first solo trip to Chincoteague, and I came needing a full reset — peace, quiet, fresh air, a mental recharge, and maybe a sunset dramatic enough to fix my attitude. Mission accomplished. 😂 The island ambiance alone is enough to make you instantly exhale. Everything slows down in the best possible way. My room was freshly cleaned (and trust me, I notice EVERYTHING 👀), which immediately made me comfortable. The bed was firm, which I personally loved, and the pillows? Absolute win. No sad, flat hotel pillows trying to ruin my sleep. The water view from the balcony was such a vibe. Sitting out there with that peaceful view was exactly what my soul needed. I caught a gorgeous sunrise, but let’s be honest — the sunset the night before absolutely stole the show. It was one of those “just sit there and stare at the sky” moments. The location is PERFECT. Close to everything without feeling crowded or chaotic. Amenities checked every box for me too — pool, breakfast, dock access, and easy parking. But what really made the stay stand out was the people. Every single staff member I encountered was kind, welcoming, and genuinely polite. Even the guests were lovely, which honestly says a lot. 😂 As a woman taking her first solo reset trip, feeling safe and comfortable matters — and I absolutely did. 10/10. Would absolutely stay here again."

"What a great place to stay. Staff was friendly and helpful."

"Very clean and conveniently located"

"Everything was clean and well done. The view from the room was spectacular. Quiet, well maintained and easy walking to food and shops."

"Very clean room staff is excellent breakfast is very good we didn’t have hot water for showers but they gave us another room then so they are good and fixing any problems ASAP woould still recommend this place."

"Staff was very pleasant and friendly. Establishment was clean and quiet; very relaxing"

"I’ll start with the positives: the staff were friendly and the location is excellent—right next to Captain Zack’s, Island Creamery, and bike rentals. ​Unfortunately, we couldn't stay. We checked in at 11:00 PM for a two-night stay and immediately found significant hygiene issues in our room. The sheets had large yellow stains, visible hair, and concerning brown spots. Additionally, the exterior door appeared to have been kicked in previously, which raised safety concerns. ​We checked out within 30 minutes of arrival. While the staff offered a different room, we no longer felt comfortable staying at the property. We asked for a refund for the second night only, which was declined. Given that we didn't use the room and reported the issues immediately, we hope management would reconsider and provide a partial refund, but unfortunately not. I see a lot of other reviews saying how clean the property is. That unfortunately was not our experience."
