I am a tour/event planner for the Delmarva Peninsula. I recently held a 3day family reunion at the hotel and condo. Excellent staff: professional, courteous, local to the island, folks that go the extra mile. Property well maintained, amenities unique and very nice. Wonderful hot breakfast. Located convenient to historic downtown, yet in quiet area on the water with magnificent... More

My family stayed at the Waterside Inn over Memorial Day Weekend. We found the staff to be very welcoming at registration and the atmosphere to be quite relaxing. Our room was spacious and clean and provided more extra's than we expected. The mini-refrigerator and in-room microwave were great features. Our balcony looked over the bay for a beautiful view of...

We booked a month early and asked for 2nd floor room with view. Got a 1st floor next to stairs and office so very noisy and no view. We asked for another room and were told none (even though a lot of people had not checked in) so decided to stay elsewhere and were told no cancellation allowed so would... More

The Waterside is well respected and known for our customer service and clean spacious guest rooms. I believe there was a modification of your reservation to a different date and unfortuantely we were not able to accommodate your origninal request. Sorry your experience with us did not live up to our expectations. More

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!
