We had no clue where to stay on Chincoteague, and picked out the Waterside online. It turned out to be the only hotel we saw that wasn't either a chain or too B&B for us. All the rooms look out on the ocean and a pleasant stretch of unspoiled shore where ducks and terns abound. The rates are reasonable, the... More

Spent last night at the Waterside Inn. Beautiful view of the bay from my private balcony. Staff were very friendly, room was larger than I expected with 2 queen beds, love seat, table and chairs, microwave, fridge. Great value, I know where I will stay next time I go to Chincoteague!

My husband and I made a last minute decision to go to Chincoteague for the launch of the latest rocket from Wallops Island. The usual chain hotels on the island were booked full. I came upon the Waterside Inn and thought we'd give it a try.Wow! What a surprise! The motel is clean, neat and the hotel staff is friendly,... More

We are always glad to be discovered by new people. We offer a fishing and crabbing pier, boat docking and boat trailer parking and a tennis court in addition to the amenities already mentioned. We appreciated the opportunity to introduce you to our unique Chincoteague hospitality. Thank you for the great review. I am glad that the launch went off... More

The Waterside Inn offers very clean, quaint and spacious accomodations. We were very pleased with our room on the 3rd floor. The views from the balcony are wonderful (will post photos later) and watching the sunset on the dock was thoroughly enjoyable. The friendly staff made our stay even more worthwhile. We'll definitely be back!

A lovely place to stay, peaceful and relaxing. On the balconey in the morning you can hear the water lappng and the ducks quacking. Although we did not book a smoking room, I found it tolerant and accommodating that they were offered. Coming from behind the Iron Curtain in Maryland, this was refreshing. The water, the dock, the ducks and... More

It is our pleasure to offer the serenity of the Chincoteague Channel. The beautiful sunsets, the boats and the wildlife. Plus on the wild side we have a fantastic view of the fourth of July fireworks and the Rocket launches. "Be Seduced by the Sights and Sounds of Nature" is one of our tag lines. More

Nice clean hotel. Excellent staff. Beautiful views off of your balcony but ask for second or third floor. Ownership really cares about their property, you can tell this is a privately owned hotel, no stuffiness or uninterested employees. Pool is wonderful and overlooks the bay. You can crab and fish off the pier or pull your boat right up to... More

Can't say enough good things about the friendly and helpful staff. They are very service-oriented and will make you feel welcome during your stay. Rooms are nicely decorated and super clean. Complimentary breakfast, complete with omelets, waffles and fresh fruit, will exceed your expectations!

Have stayed at other motels on island (including Comfort suites) and they were not as clean as Waterside. That's the most important thing to me. Very nice staff. Nice breakfast - staff constantly checking on food to make sure it's replenished as soon as someone takes something. Very attentive. The only problem we had during our stay is we were... More

We booked one night and added another. It was such a nice, quiet place to stay while visiting Chincoteague. The staff was extremely helpful and the breakfast was terrific. Eggs, toast, muffins and waffles. Couldn't ask for better. I would highly recommend this lovely place.
