Serenity on the water
I brought my family to see the Ponies of Chincoteague. We found the home and location to be calm and charming. A highlight was taking the kayaks out, turning to the right, right again after a short distance to the bay and seeing the oyster beds up close. Everything was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Jim & Ann O'Connor

Host profile image
We are retired PA educators who grew up in York, PA. We are both graduates of York Catholic High School. Jim did his undergrad at Indiana State University and Ann did hers at York College. Together we have 53 years of teaching experience.

Ann was first introduced to Chincoteague by her father over thirty-five years ago in this very house: Jay's Retreat. As many say, it was love at first sight. During our summer vacations there, we would dream about owning a place of our own.

After putting three sons through college, in 2008 we made the leap and purchased our first rental property on Main Street. The Main Street cottage has always received rave reviews from our renters. We enjoyed every moment we could spend there. It was our happy place.

In the summer of 2016, we became full time Islanders. Living on the Island has given us the opportunity to manage our Main Street property. And in 2017 to acquire and manage Jay’s Retreat.
