Chincoteague Island is dirty and full of juvenile deliquents. Why would anyone want to spend their hard earned money vacationing here? I don't get it at all. The locals are very rude and the hotels are more expensive then they should be. This is an island that definitely needs to get some class!

Bad experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/19/06
I had a bad feeling on this area because of a bad seafood restaurant. 4 families reserved seats and had to wait about an hour to be seated and what's worse over another full hour after ordering to be served food. We were there for the crabs and they were out of crabs when we were finally served food. We complained several times but no one ...

Snug Harbor
By davewin521, 09/05/06
We were disappointed with it here.we saw many reveiews good and bad we should have listened to the bad.The cabins are old and not clean. We think the problem was that our housekeeper looked to be 12 years old.The floors were sticky, the toilet stained,just not clean.very disappointing.We are coming back to Chincoteague but will make other hotel arrangements.

Not a nice area
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/07
We vacationed here in August, just got back actually and we were very let down. From the moment we checked in our hotel and the lady at the front desk was having a conversation with someone else and using some colorful language. That is not very professional and we found that to be true of most places on this island that we visited. There ...

Unspoiled beauty
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/11/05
Chincoteague Island is a peaceful and beautiful place to spend some time. The beach is the way beaches should be. No boardwalk, stores, or endless food places and crowds. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and I would go back. It was clean and neat at all times. For meals out, there weren't that many good places in Chincoteague. We had to venture ...

Relaxation W/ Enjoyment
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/13/05
Always enjoy the laid back atmosphere. A place that I can relax in with no phones, TV or paper for a week. Each time we come down, we find something different to do and still manage to get to the beach often with the kids. Our family enjoys it greatly, as does our grandaughter. She starts asking in January of each year, when are we going ...

A fun family get-away
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/06
We traveled to Chincoteague from the Philadelphia area for the first time this summer and had a very enjoyable trip. We towed our boat and still found it to be an easy drive.
This trip was unlike any we've taken before because the destination has a unique set of strong points. First and foremost, Assateauge is absolutely gorgeous. The beach ...

AVOID Assateague Explorer boat tour
By jalubk, 08/06/08
First I'll say the beach at Chincoteague is fabulous and the island is nice and quiet if you prefer that to the more partying type of beach places. They have a movie theatre and putt putt and trails to hike bike or drive. Do not go on the Assateague Explorer Boat tour. They promise remote areas to see the ponies, and the pictures they show ...

Don't waste your time on the Explorer
By fountainregular, 09/10/08
What should have been a highlight of our vacation turned out to be a boring, amateurish, and expensive waste of time.
Think the brochure: "what memories are made of", and "You'll experience a special time of day in a special place where dolphins, birds and ponies find solitude."
Experience reality: Pontoon boat with no ...
