Loved the quiet location away from the main center but close enough to go to shopping and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. The rose garden is a pretty surprise. Enjoyed having to go meals on the dock outdoor tables, the pool was refreshing. Didn't think much of Breakfast, as it was not serve-yourself, someone stood and took your order and it was awkward standing around waiting with other customers for waffles, scrambled eggs and sausage while the tiny waiting area held only one medium table and only tiny table. Coffee was limited and ran out quickly.

Very quaint but at the same time very dated. Floors above creaked. Flies in our room all night. Left at 4:30 am because it was so unbearable. Called to complain maybe to offer at least partial refund and front desk acknowledged the fly problem and blamed it on the housekeeping staff keeping the door open when they cleaned the room earlier in the day.. Also said that the fly problem was being rectified "as we speak" and invited us to try another stay in the future and possibly a discount...no thank you. I would think that they would have offered at least a partial refund knowing they needed to take extra measures to combat the fly infestation and avoid a negative review and show good will. I tried to support local but in this case I regret it.

We always stay at Waterside Inn when visiting Chincoteague. It's a quiet area and not far from anything. Staff is friendly, clean rooms, water views are great, pool is nice, and the roses are beautiful.

We had difficulty with our 2nd floor double room. The sliding glass door didn't work properly and we got locked out on our balcony with our phones inside. We had to shout for help. A kind neighbor came to our aid. Our room door was not locked so he came through and let us out. After speaking with staff, they upgraded us to a nicer room on the 3rd floor with a working balcony door. It was a scary experience. We were thankful for the upgrade, but hope they will replace the door so it doesn't happen to someone else. Otherwise, it is a nice, clean hotel with nice views an amenities. We have stayed there several times.

The water views and amenities, pool, docks, pier and peaceful atmosphere are about the best on Chincoteague. The hotel itself is getting older and weathered, however kept up pretty good considering. The rooms are also fresh and clean. The off-season prices are a great value.

Beautiful view, but lacking a bit in handicapped accessibility. The room was beautiful, as well. It is also located a short drive (if handicapped) or a short walk from shops and restaurants. They have a heated outdoor pool, which was nice because it was a bit too cold to swim in the ocean.
