Description Description
Black Skimmers are known for their unique grace as they forage in flight - the same can be said for this one-of-a-kind Vacation Home on Chincoteague Island. There's nothing quite like this beautiful Home that combines the Modern Amenities you want and need, with Historic Touches of yesteryear that only a Home born in the 1940's can offer. Located in the heart of the Island on Ridge Road and just a short stroll to Memorial Park, you're close to everywhere you want to be, but will feel like you're a million miles away from the "real world". And since it's Pet-Friendly, you really can take the whole family on an incredible Vacation! Kick off your flip flops and get ready for a Vacation Experience your family will forever treasure......

Black Skimmer is a bit more like a Compound - the grounds feature a Main House with 3 Bedrooms, a Guest House that sleeps 2, a Private Pool with expansive Deck, Game Room, and so much more. You may leave each day to explore our charming Island or visit the Wild Ponies on Assateague, but you will eagerly return to the family fun this incredible Home offers. 

The Main House has Historic Touches that we simply adore. You'll love relaxing in the spacious Living Area with gorgeous Coastal Decor, Refurbished Hardwood Floors, and Arched Doorways, while enjoying Free Wifi and Flat Screen Cable TV.  What a great place to share stories of the day's Adventures - or curl up with a good book in the cozy Sitting Area. The wonderful layout of Black Skimmer allows comfortable Family Time without ever feeling crowded, and the phrase "I'm bored" will never be heard with so much to do at this awesome Home.

The Chef in your Family will love the well-stocked Kitchen with everything you need to make mealtime super easy. Sea Grass Green Walls and Beachy Bead Board are a great backdrop for the Custom Back Splash made from stone and sea glass. Dine together in the spacious Dining Room, or grab a quick bite before hitting the Beach in the Breakfast Nook. Even better, grill the Fresh Catch of the Day and dine Poolside - so many options!

In the Main House are 3 spacious Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths. Downstairs Bedrooms 1 features Sunny Yellow Walls and a comfy Queen Bed. Down the hall, Bedroom 2 is great for the kids with 2 Twins. A beachy blue Full Bath with Tub/Shower Combo and Hardwood Floors is convenient to both Bedrooms and the Living Area. Wandering up the very cool winding stairs, you'll find a Play Room the kids will just love with some toys for their enjoyment. Also upstairs is a Master Bedroom that will take your breath away. With soaring ceilings and tons of windows, the Master feels like a Vacation in its own right. Wake up in the comfy King Bed to take in lovely Water Views and Views of Assateague Island. There is also a Daybed with Twin Trundle, and a Full Bath with Walk-in Shower. 

Wandering outside to the Guest House that sleeps 2, you'll find a Queen Bed and many comforts of Home including Flat Screen Cable TV, a Mini Fridge, Coffee Pot, Full Bath, and more, all gorgeously decorated with a distressed Coastal Flair. Above the Guest House is the Game Room - tons of family fun will be had here with both a Pool Table and a Foosball Table. Enjoy lovely Views from the furnished Upper Deck, or lounge by the Pool while the kids have a blast. Maybe even sneak away for a nap in the shaded Hammock - when is the last time you actually took a nap?!


And there you have it - the absolute perfect Family Vacation that even your furbaby will adore. Homes like Black Skimmer don't come along every day, so don't wait - let's plan some Island Time today!

Black Skimmer - The tans may brush off, the salt may wash away, but those Memories will last forever......

Black Skimmer
Seaside was very friendly to work with, communicating often with important information. Would choose them again.

We absolutely loved it!
starstarstarstarstar 5 days ago We loved our few days in Black Skimmer! It’s a charming, historic and very comfortable home in a traditional neighborhood, that has been well loved by its owners and no doubt by countless guests. It was just me and my daughter and our two dogs, so we did not use the guest house. The main house is spacious, comfortable and full of nice touches and interesting furnishings. There’s plenty of parking next to the house and around the back. The kitchen is very well equipped, (so nice to have lots of plates, knives, forks etc so you are not constantly washing up), the washer and dryer are excellent, and previous guests have left a good few essential supplies. The TV and internet connection were fine. The main house has two a.c. units, one for downstairs and one for upstairs. The upstairs bedroom has expansive views across to Assateague Island and you can even see the lighthouse – and its light! The grounds are beautiful, with a garden full of butterflies, and a nesting box packed with purple martins. The birdsong is wonderful! Pride of place is the 4 feet-deep pool and the deck that surrounds it. You could easily choose to spend the whole day by the pool – it’s very private. The whole home is fenced in. One of our dogs is quite the escape artist, but even she couldn’t find a gap big enough to squeeze through. (Although if your dogs are particularly small you might want to check they can’t fit through the bars). If you don’t want to cook, Mr Baldy’s family restaurant is literally a one-minute walk away. Alternatively there are restaurants and various food trucks just five minutes away by car. Despite the home being super dog friendly, we think that the good council members of Chincoteague could do much more to make their little town dog friendly. We chose to drive around 80 minutes each day (one way) to the Maryland Assateague Island National Seashore, which is very welcoming of visitors with dogs, unlike the Virginia portion!

Reunion on Beebe Rd
We had everything we needed and plenty of room to move around. The outdoor pool was great when we could not get to the beach. It was a first-time visit for some and it worked out very well.
