o If you wish to tour nearby Marshall Creek Farm, please contact them via their FB page/cell#. (Last I knew, tours were $15/person, but please check for latest pricing.)
• No parking on the street. (We can fit about six normal cars in the driveway.)
If any problems arise, we will take action ASAP, but there is no one living on-site 24/7.
* If you believe you have come in contact with poison ivy, poison oak, etc. we should have special treatment/wash in the downstairs bathroom.
** For those seeking aquatic adventures with powered watercraft, we recommend taking advantage of the nearby public boat launch situated at the end of the street. It’s important to note that returning to the house’s dock can be challenging with tidal water and shallow depths, so relying on the public launch ensures a smoother experience.
If you decide to explore Chincoteague/Newport Bay, keep in mind that the outer edges of the creek's turns tend to offer deeper water. Visualize the way water naturally carves a path during tides – this can help you identify and avoid shallow areas. The bay is more shallow in some places than you might expect. There is a depth chart in the house to assist.
