Hidden Treasure

Love this place! Great location, great view. Caught crabs off end ofr555 dock and minnows in the pond. Lots of space inside and out. Decks are amazing. Great seating options inside and out. Sliding door needs replaced.

Liked the house - the room with the TV was a nice feature for the kids. Door to the back deck is very out of alignment and needs repair and the dishwasher makes a high pitched annoying whine during an exceptionally long cycle. The dock had construction equipment on it that was in the way. We had a good time - there was a bit of a gale during our stay and the entire house swayed when the wind gusted. A second king bed would be a nice bonus for stays with 4 adults. I would rent this house again.

Second year in a year in a row we rented hidden treasure for memorial day weekend and it was fantastic! The house is beautiful with great views, as well as giving you plenty of privacy. We have used a lot of different rental companies through out the years and we love that the check in hete is so simple. No picking up keys, they just simply text you a code to use for the duration of your stay and that's it!

Hidden Treasure sits in a lovely area along the Chesapeake Bay. The house is very nice in an area of very nice houses. Sunsets are beautiful and the dock was a favorite with all. Both for lounging and launching kayaks.

Kitchen is well equipped with dishes, glasses, cookware and such. The large porches have a wonderful view and the screened in porch is nice to sit in and eat at. Loved the Whirlpool bath in the Master Bedroom.

But there were a few issues with our stay and with the house.

It's listed as four bedrooms but one of the bedrooms with twin beds has no closet or even a wardrobe. The House has four bedrooms, probably over 2400 sq ft and can accommodate up to ten people. Yet the washer/dryer combo is an apartment size stacking unit?? Worse still, the dryer is near death and takes hours to dry a (small - because it is a stacking unit) load of clothes.

That well equipped kitchen leaves almost no space to store food. The screened in porch would benefit greatly from a bug zapper - as a few bugs (that is to say mosquitoes- the only insect on the island lol) do find their way in and now can't leave.

Cleaning/housekeeping could have been better. The downstairs bathroom smelled of urine and the refrigerator of fish. We cleaned both. And the pricey linen package did not have the right sheets for the master bedroom. We got two queen sets rather than one king.

We have vacationed in Chincoteague maybe six times. We enjoyed our stay and the house. A solid four stars overall, but needs a few improvements to reach five stars.

We enjoyed our stay at Hidden Treasures! It was a very quiet, serene and beautiful area of the island. Every sunset was gorgeous and enjoyed seeing them right from our deck! The screened in eating area was also perfect for family meals without any pesky bugs. Hooks in the queen bedroom would have been helpful. We also feel the refrigerator probably needs replaced but we were overall very satisfied with this vacation rental.

Beautiful setting. Wonderful outdoor areas. Variety of seating areas within the home. Very clean.

The house is in a lovely location and the porch and porch rockers made up for the things that were lacking. However, the clearning amenities were lacking. We had to buy the following: dust pan, washing detergent, sponges, etc. The kitchen equipment was inadequate compared to other places we have stayed. No bath mats in some bathrooms.
I would recommend with reservations and a list of what the persons needed to bring -- especially for cooking as we do all of our own cooking. Refrigerator did not stay cold enough.

Great vacation, house was great, although probably needs a little attention outside such as loose railing and popped decking boards on main deck, and large screen ripped on screened in porch (maintenance did do a quick fix on day one). Only other issue was ants in the kitchen and two bedrooms (should be an easy fix, there were a lot on anthills around the property). Overall great place!

We enjoyed our week very much! This was one of my favorite weeks on the island. The dock is ideal for a perfect vacation.

Everything was fantastic!

Awesome!!!

Awesome!!!

The home is in a beautiful, quiet area. there are lots of windows/sliding glass doors on both levels to enjoy the view and make the home bright. Furnishings/beds all comfortable and kitchen well stocked with dinnerware, glassware, cookware, etc. The setting suns was not visible from the home during our stay in March as the sun sets further south/blocked by the home next door. We would have need to go out to the end of the dock - but too cold/windy while we were there. In summer when the sun is further north the full sunset should be visible from inside the house.

This lovely home located in a quiet, private section of Chincoteague, has an amazing bay view and even a “private backyard pond” where ducks, herons, and ibis like to congregate which is great for birders and photographers. The trees and myrtle bushes are filled with songbirds including tons of myrtle warblers. The house was clean when we arrived, and the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans. The dishes are lighthouse themed which is quite appropriate for Chincoteague. In February, many of the restaurants are closed in town but due to Covid, we cooked meals in the house. We did pick up take out a couple of nights for oysters from Don’s Restaurant and The Village (both are only open certain nights so make sure to call them first). Bills Restaurant has good oyster stew too. There is a grocery store in Chincoteague and a Food Lion about a 10-mile drive. The bed was comfortable but the pillows could have been better so you might want to bring your own. Linens and towels are not included but you can rent them from the rental company, we chose to bring our own. The laundry and dryer are handy for washing clothes. This was a working vacation for me, and the wifi was fast (the password is on the check in information that you pick up from the rental company). The large flat screen TV was in a smaller room off the living room/kitchen. There are 4 flights of stairs into the house so carrying luggage and groceries may be an issue for some people but on a positive note our legs were definitely stronger after the week. The rental company was very good about answering questions before we arrived. We would definitely rent this house again.

We had a great time at our house! The incredible view gave us plenty of opportunity to kayak without having to load the kayak on the car, and also watch the sunset from the comfort of the porch!

Loved the house! First time at Hidden Treasure..our vacation was cut 5 days short, due to being evacuated for Hurricane Florence, but we will be back!

We have been going on vacation to Chincoteague for twenty years and we all agree that this rental was the most beautiful to stay in, the view the home and the water front were incredible.

First time visiting Chincoteague and Hidden Treasure. The house was perfect for 2 families and we had an amazing time. We will definitely be back and hope to stay at this amazing house. The sunsets were amazing and the outdoor space was perfect for the kids!

First time staying at Hidden Treasure, hopefully not the last! Sunsets were outstanding! House was perfect for our family.

This is our third year at Hidden Treasure for Thanksgiving. We love the location and area for the kids to play. The view is excellent and sunsets from the dock are wonderful.
