Description Description
At the Beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour, but with the flow of the Ocean. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun. When is the last time you can say you had a day like this? Now is the time - grab the kids and the dogs, that’s right - Seahorse Shanty is Dog AND! Up to 2 well-trained dogs are welcome with no additional fees so you can bring along your furry friends!

Seahorse Shanty is a spectacular beautiful Custom Home completed in 2023, and it was worth the wait. Sitting on 2 acres in a fabulous Mid-Island Location, you’ll be close to everywhere you want to be, yet still feel a million miles away from the real world. This statuesque home is nestled amongst whispering pines, and sits on 2 Horse Pastures. You’ll so appreciate the peace and serenity this expansive property offers - privacy, peace, and quiet. Pulling down the Lane to the house, you’ll know you made the right choice….

Upon entering Seahorse Shanty, you’ll be greeted by Colors of Sea Grass and Sandy Beaches - so lovely. The Open Layout is perfect for how we live today - spend time together without ever feeling crowded. Sink into the oversized Sectional after a day of exploring Assateague National Seashore, less than 10 minutes away, and enjoy Free WiFi and Flat Screen Streaming TV. There’s even a seasonal Fireplace for those chilly Off-Season Stays - one of our favorite times here on our Little Island by the Sea.

The Chef in your family will love the Well-Stocked Kitchen, with all the comforts of home. With gleaming Granite Countertops, beachy White Cabinetry, and Stainless Appliances, mealtime will be a bay breeze. Between the Dining Table and Breakfast Bar, there’s plenty of room for the whole gang. Dine in the comfort of Central AC, on the Screened Porch (Furnishings on the way), or in the Shaded Picnic Area under the house - a great place to enjoy some Fresh Local Crabs and Chincoteague Oysters. Not one to cook on Vacation? We’ve got you covered - you’re just a hop, skip, or jump away from many great dining options, and don’t forget to check out our awesome variety of Food Trucks - we’re known for them!

Seahorse Shanty sleeps 7 in pure comfort and style, all on the main level. Bedroom 1 is a Master with a comfy Queen Bed, Flat Screen Streaming TV, and a gorgeous Coastal Palette that’s sure to make it a restful retreat. The Private Master Bath has a stunning Custom Walk-in Shower and Double Vanity with Granite. The Rinnai On-Demand Water Heater ensures a hot shower for all. Slip out the Sliders to the Deck to listen to the Tree Frogs sing while the rest of your family slumbers.

Down the Hall, Bedroom 2 has another Queen Bed, and Bedroom 3 sleeps 3 in a Pyramid Bunk (Twin over Full). All Bedrooms are equipped with a Flat Screen Streaming Only TV. There is a 2nd Full Bath with Tub/Shower Combo that is shared.

All of this, and only a few miles from Assateague National Seashore, where our famous Wild Ponies roam free. Whether you enjoy fishing, shell-combing, or searching for ponies, Assateague has something for everyone, and is hands down one of the most stunning, natural beaches in America - no boardwalks, no shops, just Mother Nature at her finest.

Owner has exterior security camera. Friendly Dogs welcome at no additional fee and must be approved in advance - 2 max., and current on Vaccinations and Flea/Tick Preventative.

Seahorse Shanty
This house was amazing! We did not use the BYOH feature, but a very cool option for those who have horses to bring. We had a great time and would recommend this house to anyone looking for a large outdoor space for their horse, dog, or simply to enjoy the nice weather outside.

Wonderful!
Our family had a great time at the Seahorse Shanty. The house was clean and close to local restaurants and of course, the beach. The screened in porch was lovely. We also appreciated the beach cart provided for guests. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

Seahorse Shanty Stay
We just returned from a Iovely stay at Seahorse Shanty. The property was immaculate upon arrival and easy entrance with access door code. The house is on the newer side and still has that “new” house feeling. Loved the soft beach colors, the contemporary, open floor layout and the beachy theme with pony accents. The beds were very comfortable, master bathroom very large. There were ample pots and pans, utensils and dishes. A very spacious kitchen. Quiet neighborhood, but still close to Main Street and restaurants. Spacious yard. I would highly recommend staying here, the only thing to be aware of is that if you have senior citizens in your group or senior pets, the steps are on the steep side.

Seahorse Shanty
Wonderful getaway with my husband, two teenage boys, and our dog. The boys actually put their phones down and jumped right into the puzzles as soon as we arrived! The place was exactly as described including amenities. It was very convenient to everything we needed: walks for the dog, fishing for the boys, and restaurants. It’s really beautiful there. We went before the season started, so things were open but it wasn’t too crowded. I would definitely recommend Captain Steve’s for anything fishing related.

Seahorse Shanty
We had an amazing stay at the Seaside Shanty! The house is just a couple of years old and still has that fresh, new-home smell. It’s beautifully designed, super clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation. The layout and decor made it feel cozy and welcoming, and it was perfect for our family with kids — plenty of space and very family-friendly. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Memorial Park and really close to town, but still peaceful and quiet. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax and enjoy Chincoteague. Highly recommend this home — we’d definitely stay here again!

Seahorse Shanty
Great house and property for the island, you don’t often have as much outdoor space on Chincoteague but this house had plenty of yard for the dogs (mainly horses) but our dogs enjoyed and as did we. There is no access to the garage or lower level so if you’re expecting more space just know it’s only one floor of usable space. All in all great spot would definitely return.

Great Stay!
Great location for exploring Chincoteague and nearby Assateague. Quiet neighborhood but close to shops and restaurants. Super relaxing place to stay with really nice decor and nice cookware in the kitchen!

Perfect!
The place was spotless and had most of the basics — a hair dryer would have been nice, as well as some cozy extra blankets. But the listing was clear so we came prepared. Beds were comfy, layout was open, spacious, and the couch was very comfortable. Decor was minimalist with a beachy, horse theme while still being minimalist and tasteful. It’s on one of the main roads, like most homes are on the island, but it’s set back with wooded areas and plenty of fenced in areas for our pup. It was peaceful and perfect. We enjoyed our stay immensely!
