The hotel is older and there are a few things that need attention- the bathroom fan in room 313 is very loud. But overall the hotel is nice and clean and the staff is friendly. The hot tub was a nice extra. A family was enjoying the pool. Mostly the hotel is situated with a great view of the water. Our balcony was private and the view was spectacular.

Rooms are old and in need of updating. If you're on the first floor you need to bring earplugs because all you hear is the people upstairs. Breakfast is a nice. Pool was great. Cannot beat the location. If you go with low expectations you'll be fine, but if you're used to modern hotel chains you'll be disappointed.

Overall very enjoyable stay! Very kind and helpful employees with the front desk, breakfast, and cleaning. We had a king room, which had a good view of the bay on the balcony (pictured, unfortunately weather was cloudy the weekend so didn’t get good sunsets though plenty of potential for beautiful ones on a clear day). Hot breakfast was varied, typically waffles and biscuits, a type of egg, type of breakfast meat, as well as fruit, yogurt, granola bars and stuff like that. Could get breakfast to go and eat it on the balcony for a peaceful start to the day. AC worked good, room was clean, had no problems with noise or disruptions from other guests, pool is open almost any time and right on the bay, overall all was good!! It is a bit far for biking to the beach, but it’s a bit far from really any hotel as you have to drive through the nature refuge.

Room was clean and had a nice view. Only 1 wash cloth and 2 towels there when we arrived (4 people in room.) Had to wait until morning to get towels because office closes at 10pm and we got in late. Staff was great, very kind and accommodating.The person who serves the breakfast was awesome. Breakfast itself was so so, but my kids loved the waffles. We loved the outdoor pool and that it stays open until 1am. No lights on the fishing pier at night. AC worked very well. All in all, a great stay and we would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Waterside Inn! Overall, it was a great place to stay and we’d definitely come back.

The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and personable. The property and amenities were very well maintained, and everything felt clean and inviting. Our favorite amenity by far was the private pier—we spent a lot of time fishing and crabbing there, and it really made our trip extra fun. Not to mention the STUNNING sunset views.

The only minor issues we noticed were that there was a tissue left in the peephole of our room, which we assumed was from a previous guest, and we found a few hairs on the towels that had been provided. However, when we requested fresh towels, the staff had them readily available with no problems at all, which we really appreciated.

We didn’t get a chance to try the complimentary breakfast because it’s served from 7:00–9:00 a.m., and we never managed to wake up that early while on vacation! Other than that, we had a fantastic experience and would recommend Waterside Inn to anyone visiting Chincoteague.

From check-in to check-out this was such a positive experience. There was a pleasant warm greeting along with minimal check-in paperwork, directions for breakfast and wi-fi were provided as well as information about the inn property. Room service was available but not invasive. The property was lined with the most beautiful varieties of roses. The balcony faced the bay and sunsets. The pier was well kept. The pool was clean and open late (til 1am!). There was a group of picnic tables and a few grills for guest use. Breakfast was small, but sufficient to start the day. I look forward to our return to Waterside Inn!

We had an excellent experience with the exception of the noise simply caused by people walking upstairs. So not really a complaint for us, but can see it being a concern for others.

The hotel and it's grounds are very very well maintained. The staff is courteous and helpful. The View was very pretty from our Bayside
room. The only suggestion I have is that the eating space is exceptionally small for such a large number of rooms. There are only two tables. We got there right when it opened so it was not an issue for us ,but I could see where it would force you to take the food back to your room or eat outside assuming the weather is good because two tables fill up fast. We would return.

Let me just say… Waterside Inn understood the assignment before I even knew what assignment I needed.

This was my very first solo trip to Chincoteague, and I came needing a full reset — peace, quiet, fresh air, a mental recharge, and maybe a sunset dramatic enough to fix my attitude. Mission accomplished. 😂

The island ambiance alone is enough to make you instantly exhale. Everything slows down in the best possible way.

My room was freshly cleaned (and trust me, I notice EVERYTHING 👀), which immediately made me comfortable. The bed was firm, which I personally loved, and the pillows? Absolute win. No sad, flat hotel pillows trying to ruin my sleep.

The water view from the balcony was such a vibe. Sitting out there with that peaceful view was exactly what my soul needed. I caught a gorgeous sunrise, but let’s be honest — the sunset the night before absolutely stole the show. It was one of those “just sit there and stare at the sky” moments.

The location is PERFECT. Close to everything without feeling crowded or chaotic. Amenities checked every box for me too — pool, breakfast, dock access, and easy parking.

But what really made the stay stand out was the people. Every single staff member I encountered was kind, welcoming, and genuinely polite. Even the guests were lovely, which honestly says a lot. 😂

As a woman taking her first solo reset trip, feeling safe and comfortable matters — and I absolutely did.

10/10. Would absolutely stay here again.
