About this property

Elegant Waterfront Residence, Magnificant Sunsets, Close to Town Ctr, Elevator

Moorings North is an unique architecturally designed five bedroom home in the heart of Chincoteague Island, VA. The house is elegantly decorated and has mesmerizing panoramic views of Chincoteague Bay. It is conveniently located in walking distance to small shops, a coffee house, and restaurants.

This elegant, but cozy home is an ideal waterfront vacation spot for families as well as for couples who are seeking a romantic getaway.

Be our guest at Moorings North and enjoy your vacation in a beautiful setting with nearby award winning beaches and wildlife refuges.

Two-story porches grace the front of this dynamic house from where you will enjoy the rising sun. You will enter a light filled two-and-a-half story high entrance hall with a grand staircase, and French chandelier. Ascending the stairs, you’ll be delighted along the way by the views to the water from three towering windows, or take the convenient windowed elevator to the living level on the upper floor.

With the reverse floor plan the upper level is the main living level including the great room with beverage bar, kitchen, master bedroom, and a full bathroom.

Arriving in the great room your eye (and your heart) will quickly be drawn to what you’re here for: a wall of nine windows will open up sweeping views of sun-diamonds dancing on the sparkling waters of Chincoteague Bay. Simply stunning!

The great room is combined with the dining area and an open concept kitchen, which invites you to entertain yourself, your family and your friends. The towering cathedral ceiling in the great room will give you a sense of space and open feeling on hot summer days as well as a cozy atmosphere by the gas fireplace during your relaxing winter vacation. You’ll enjoy preparing locally caught seafood in the fully appointed gourmet kitchen. Two ovens, warming drawer, microwave, dishwasher, granite counter tops and more are waiting for you. While some gather around the large screen plasma TV on the fireplace wall, one or two may prepare drinks at the beverage center.

The spacious kitchen with its cherry cabinets and granite counter tops is sure to be a popular spot to entertain. There is plenty of room to pitch-in for cocktail and canapé, or prepare a delicious supper of fresh seafood purchased at the town dock.

While the house has two climate control systems, there will be days when you will want to open the French doors leading from the dining area to the columned, covered Gazebo-in-The-Sky: outdoor relaxation sublime high above the sparkling waters. Here, it’s likely you will linger (probably everyday) while the sky turns shades of magenta and orange as the sun descends into the bay. In this amazing outdoor living space you’ll find a gas grill to bring even your cooking outdoors, a dining and a conversation set.

Up a spiral stair from the Main Level is the Tower-Hide-Away with three additional twin beds, just right for the young, and the young-at-heart. The view from the highest point of the house over the waters are indeed again breathtaking. Tower guests share bath on Main Level..

At the end of your day on Assateague Island’s pristine ocean beach (or perhaps you climbed to the top of the lighthouse?) you’ll be ready to enjoy a great night’s rest in your private quarters on the Lower Level. Because there are two master suites, each equally tasteful decorated rooms with king-size bed, granite top make-up vanity, walk in closet, bathroom with separate tub, and walk in shower, perhaps there won’t be any trouble over ‘who-gets-to-sleep-where’.

A word about the bathrooms: one has a large Kohler soaking tub, the other one has a Kohler whirlpool tub for two. Did we mention that each of these suites has a private balcony over the water?

On this level there’s a room with two twin beds, and an ensuite bath with water view window in the shower.

As many of the houses on the coastline Moorings North is elevated, which will give you extra storage space on a partially enclosed ground level and direct water access. Tie your up to 65’ long boat up in deep water at our bulk-headed dock right there. Catch your all time fresh crabs and fish right from the dock. How much fun will it be for children and grown-ups to provide your seafood dinner right from the water in front of your vacation residence? Enjoy your summer evenings in the private sitting area, where you can roast s’mores at the fire pit. You hardly want to leave your vacation spot right on the water of Chincoteague Channel, but in case you would like to spend a day at the beach, we’ll provide beach chairs, sun umbrella and boogie boards for you. When you come back from a beautiful day on the beach, enjoy the convenience of an outdoor shower. From the ground level there is an elevator entrance handy for handling luggage and bringing in the groceries. This elevator makes all floors handicapped accessible.

Still some energy left? Take one of the four bikes and explore the many attractions Chincoteague Island has to offer.

We will do whatever is in our hands to make your vacation time at Moorings North exceptional, comfortable, and unforgettable. We welcome you to our well-loved home on Chincoteague Island!

This property was amazing, everything was clean up to date and just a wonderful experience. It's located centrally around everything. The views were amazing and the place was just absolutely stunning. The only complaint that I have is that we had to leave at the end of our trip LOL

We all had a wonderful, relaxing time. We fished out back. The house is gorgeous and very accommodating. I can’t say enough about how soft the sheets were. Anything you would need was there. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your house. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all!!

Island Paradise-Eagles, Wild Ponies and Gorgeous Water Views
Experiencing the Pony Swim Week has been a dream of my mom’s since she was little. We made that happen this past week. We knew we needed a special home to help us collect these memories for three generations of pony lovers. Moorings North was the perfect island paradise! The views from the home were outstanding-one day a bald eagle sat across from us for hours. We biked to Island Creamery and Mr. Whippy’s and also enjoyed Bill’s for a steak and seafood meal. Our waitress, Liz, we got to see at the carnival later that week. The small town warmth is hard to match! Get the week pass onto Assateague, bike the Wilderness Loop to see all the waterfowl, and climb the 178 stairs to the top of the lighthouse. We will return and we will stay at Moorings North. Excellent communication from Claudia and the most precious welcome basket. Fished with success from the house, guys did some crabbing and we had a crab boil one night. One of our favorite adventures and we fell madly in love with Chincoteague. Book with Claudia-you’ll be so happy!

Perfect family getaway!
We rented this home for Memorial Day weekend shocked it was available! The house was very clean and spacious we had 8 adults abd 2 children. The owners were so sweet and left us a gift basket and gift card for ice cream for the kids! We also were very fortunate to check in early too! There is plenty of room for multiple cars, we each felt like the rooms were our own aprtment there was so much space. Very close to everything you need in a short walk or even shorter drive. The sunsets were absolutely breath taking off of the porch and the view from the living room was perfect for the rainy days we stayed in to play board games (provided by the owners) but felt like we were still sitting on the deck! The keyless entry was a plus with a big group. The house had everything we needed and then some, we will definitely be back! 10/10 Recommend!

Loved this house
We were celebrating a 75th birthday with family ranging from 3-75 and this house was perfect. The elevator was a huge plus as 2 people have mobility challenges. Well outfitted, great location, easy access. The host was very responsive to our general questions.

After a couple of visits to the island we absolutely fell in love with Chincoteague. We, the 'Grill-Family', were always looking for beautiful relaxing locations, to spend time with the kids on the beach, at the same time having the most quiet and friendly environment to reenergize from our busy life. We found it with Chincoteague Island and were entranced with the beauty, the 'million dollar views' and the friendliness of the people on this island.
So when we started looking for houses, we did it with a spirit of it being our second home and not a business investment primarily. We have very high standards of excellence and customer satisfaction with an overarching desire to make our guests feel like home. We believe in the importance of personal touch and caring in all we do. That's why we also decided to manage the property personally, knowing the local staff maintaining the house and being in direct contact with our guests. The Moorings North was the perfect fit for us: Beautifully furnished with unbelievable views, luxurious look & feel. We are committed to constantly further upgrading this already beautiful high end home and are proud to share it with you.
