If any problems arise, we will take action ASAP, but there is no one living on-site 24/7. * If you believe you have come in contact with poison ivy, poison oak, etc. we should have special treatment/wash in the downstairs bathroom. ** For those seeking aquatic adventures with powered watercraft, we recommend taking advantage of the nearby public boat launch situated at the end of the street. It’s important to note that returning to the house’s dock can be challenging with tidal water and shallow depths, so relying on the public launch ensures a smoother experience. If you decide to explore Chincoteague/Newport Bay, keep in mind that the outer edges of the creek's turns tend to offer deeper water. Visualize the way water naturally carves a path during tides – this can help you identify and avoid shallow areas. The bay is more shallow in some places than you might expect. There is a depth chart in the house to assist. Guest access Guests have access to most of the house. Some hall and bathroom closets are locked for host storage. The laundry room remains a private space but can be made available for extended stays upon request. Outside, guests have access to the screened-in porch, dock, firepit, front porch and the upstairs balcony. The shed is currently for owner access only. We have sprayed for poison ivy around much of the house and yard. However, it is prevalent in the surrounding wooded areas. We do not recommend walking through the woods around the house on our property. We do recommend bringing sunblock and deep woods-level bug repellent. When the ocean breeze is blowing, the bugs are not generally too persistent, but when the air is still they can be troublesome. We do NOT recommend swimming in the creek. Since it is *TIDAL WATER*, it can be shallow. Mud can get deep and difficult to navigate. It more suited to kayaks or other small boats and watercraft. (I shouldn't have to say it, but no horseplay on the dock. Don't jump or dive off the dock. You're going to have a bad time. Even at high tide, it isn't very deep.) At present, we offer two sit-on kayaks during the Spring, Summer and Fall. You must agree to a liability waiver to use them. If that is not enough to accommodate your group there are several rental options nearby. Please stay off neighbors' properties and respect their boundaries, including Marshall Creek Farm. If you wish to visit Marshall Creek Farm, please arrange an appointment. You can find contact information with a quick web search. When boating or walking around the area, you are likely to see "No Trespassing" signs. Please respect them for everyone's wellbeing. You can launch boats at the public boat ramp at the end of the street. If you wish, you may tie your boat to our dock, though we don’t recommend it with powered watercraft. Be aware that navigation can be difficult, especially at low tide. Water depth can vary greatly by day, time, weather, etc. When navigating the creek, water depth tends to be greater on the outside of curves. You've been warned. If you brought a powered boat with you, we suggest you use the nearby public boat launch. Even east of the launch there can be shallow spots further up Marshall Creek. (Deeper water is generally on the outside of the creek's corners. Consider how the tides coming in and out would cut a path.) Always have paddles on hand and be aware that while beautiful and expansive, Chincoteague Bay doesn't have much boat traffic. That's mostly a good thing, but bad if you need help. It may be quite a while before another boater spots you. There is a depth chart near the kitchen. Cellular reception is generally very good, even in the middle of the bay, but have a plan in case you run into trouble.
