My family, including our dog, has returned to Tall Pines for many summers. While small, it is the perfect size for a family of 4, especially with its generous screened porch, and the location on Piney Island can't be beat for those who love to cycle to the beach.

Tall Pines is a lovely place to stay - easy biking distance to the Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge and in a nice neighborhood for walking our dog. The house isn't fancy but everything is clean and functional, and the screened porch is a great place to hang out even on a rainy day.

We had a great vacation overall. We were a little surprised by the lack of hospitality with the rental company and some of the island.The electronic check in is convenient but also takes away from that special human greeting we used to get. Also our code for check in wasn't sent right away at 4:00 check in which seems very late. Understandably it is so the company has time to clean which would be great if the cleaning was great but our home was not. We had clumps up white fluffy dog hair everywhere and food and other items under the beds.The house also had ants. We bought chemicals to control that problem. We got past all that and we were prepared to not let it bother our vacation and went to our first full beach day the next day and received a call from a random contractor that wanted to enter the home for a small repair when we weren't there but our dog was. Told him we weren't comfortable with that but we would be back in 15 so he said he would meet us there in a half hour and then never showed. Called the rental company and they gave us some gift certificates for a store that was closed most of the week. We love Chincoteague, have vacationed there off and on over 25 years. Have watched it grow over the years. It seemed like a lot of the store workers and residents are annoyed with visitors who bring a lot of money to the island. Very sad! Things that were great Maui Jacks, dog sitters through , the museum and the tours offered from the chamber and museum. Our advice would be to keep that old time friendly small town feeling alive, appreciate the visitors and work with businesses to be friendlier and proud of what they have to offer. And our rental company really dropped the ball on keeping us as renters. Vacations should be started with that happy warm fuzzy love we used to get from Chincoteague Island and when you leave you should be ready to start planning for next year not thinking about where else you might go visit.

Very sweet little place worked well for us after the very nice handyman came and straightened out a few things. Our TV and internet did not work. Our strong recommendation is for Chincoteague Resort Realty to make sure the TV and internet are working before guests arrive. This has happened more than once when renting from CRR and is very difficult for us as guests. We were there only for 3 days and half of that time we had no internet and no TV. The handyman shared that owners and other renters complicate the TV by not turning it on correctly. Our recommendation is that whoever prepares the house for guests check the TV to make sure it is working, and that there is a guide to how to use the TV. The internet was also a problem until it was fixed and we would recommend that the house cleaner also check the internet to make sure it is working. Those 2 items should be part of preparing a house for guests. One other item particular to this rental is the back spotlight. The back steps are quite dark and we noticed a spotlight out there but could not locate how to turn it on. Our handyman discovered that the bulb was out and that the switch is above the kitchen sink. It would help a lot to have that switch labeled, and also the switches by the front door. There are more than one and one does turn the front light on, but we could not figure the other two.The house was very comfortable and we love the location and would certainly rent this home again. One other would be helpful to have a bar of soap in the bathroom and an extra roll of toilet paper. We did have to go out and purchase these items and our recollection is that these things have been in other homes that we have rented through CRR. Thank you very much.

wonderful vacation. house was everything we expected. was well stocked with housewares.perfect location. will definitely return next year.

What a wonderful vacation outfitter. I have worked with others. Chincoteague Resort Vacations has been the most pleasant, most accommodating, & easiest in regard to processes. The property, Tall Pines, is exactly as described. A quaint little home for just the two of us & our dog. Still large enough that a daughter & grandchildren, had they been able to join us, would not have made it seem crowded. Home is well kept with just the right amount of amenities. A lovely screen porch & simple yard space, too.

We spent Easter weekend in Tall Pines it was very clean and exactly what we needed for our stay. We very much enjoyed our boat tour with Randy on Friday night. Saturday we drove up to the Maryland side of Assateague Island to see the ponies at a closer range to get pictures and to experience them. Island Creamery was very tasty ice cream definitely worth the stop. Overall a great trip. We would definitely come back. We enjoyed that it was off season and not overly hot or crowded. That to us was a big plus. Thanks again for a great vacation. This is a picture of a foal we saw on our boat tour with Randy.

The house was what we expected and more. The closed in porch was roomy and comfortable. The app that was sent to us from the rentals was helpful in finding places to go and things to do.

As usual the house was clean. The living room furniture could have been more user friendly but we only noticed because it rained. Then wonderful screened in porch made up for this.What I always like most about our stays at Tall Pines is the peace and quiet. The Pines were blowing this time which was nice and yet spooky at the same time. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, but I should have prepared better for that. Saw a pony up close which I really enjoyed since they are usually way out in the fields. Also saw a flock of egrets flying- must have been storm related. The locals were kind and accommodating everywhere we went.If you walk a little bit the beach is practically empty. I love that more than anything. Im going to give you a five star rating because I love your island. And because the house is pet friendly. There was a lot we didnt get to do because Florence cut our stay short, but hey thats life at the beach. Thanks for all that you do. Sue and Rick
