3 Bedroom House in Piney Island, Chincoteague Island

The Happy Crab - Where dreams are made of Sun and Sand…..
There's only one thing more precious than our time, and that is who we spend it on. Life is busy - just getting the family together can be such a challenge in today's world, but nothing is more important than doing just that. Clear the calendar, grab those you love, and head to Chincoteague Island to make Memories that you'll treasure forever.
The Happy Crab is a Duplex Home that sleeps 6 more than comfortably, and is located in desirable Piney Island, the closest community to Assateague National Seashore. Ride your bike to the Beach, Dining, Activities, and more! You'll love returning to this tranquil Waterfront Community lined with whispering Pines, which even has its own Kayak Launch area. Sitting directly on the Assateague Channel, you have incredible Views of both the Channel and Assateague Island right from your two-levels of decking. With a Pier shared with only one other home, you'll love fishing and crabbing in your own backyard - or harvest some of our famous Oysters at low tide, only steps from the shoreline. There's also super-easy access to launch your kayak or canoe, and if you're bringing your boat, you can tie it up right at the Pier.
This adorable Waterfront Home has it all - including the warmth and comfort of a true family home. As you pull into the driveway, you know you've made the right choice - the Pine Trees swaying and Tree Frogs singing couldn't be more welcoming - and ahhh, that salty, sweet breeze. Climbing the stairs to the 1st Floor, you'll love the Open Living Area with plenty of comfy seating, Flat Screen Cable TV, and stunning Views galore. With 2 Waterfront Decks, a Waterfront Screened Porch, and 2 other Decks, you won’t know where to begin and end every amazing Vacation Day - so many choices! The Happy Crab sits high, maximizing every gorgeous glimpse of our beautiful bay and Assateague Island.
Down the Hall, there's a huge Dining Area with a table that seats 8 - a great place to gather and share stories of the day's Adventures. The Chef in your family will love the well-stocked Kitchen with all you need to make mealtime a bay breeze. You can also dine Al Fresco on the Deck and take in that salty, sweet sea breeze.
The Happy Crab even has a 2nd Living Area, just off the Dining Room. With another Flat Screen Cable TV, it's a great place to catch a movie or curl up with a good book. Just off of this room, you'll find the most relaxing Waterfront Screened Porch ever - and OH, those Views! Also, while no one likes doing laundry, you'll appreciate the convenience of the Washer and Dryer on this level, as well. There is also a convenient Half Bath just off the Living Area.
Wandering upstairs, there are 3 spacious Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths. The Master Bedroom features a comfy Queen Bed, Flat Screen Cable TV, and access to a Private Waterfront Balcony - slip outside to stargaze while everyone sleeps peacefully, or enjoy morning coffee here with a Sunrise. The Master Bath has a Walk-in Shower. Down the Hall, Bedroom 2 has 2 Twin Beds, and Bedroom 3 has a Full Bed. A 2nd Full Bath with a Tub/Shower Combo is located in the Hall.
With the Assateague Channel as your backyard, and Assateague National Seashore just a short bike ride away, you really can have it all at The Happy Crab! Chincoteague and Assateague are a Nature Lover's Dream - perfect for pony-lovers, photographers, and bird-watchers. There's even an Outdoor Shower to rinse off after a day exploring the Beach. You can either bring your own Kayaks, or we're happy to help you arrange for rentals to be delivered! So, what are you waiting for? Paradise is calling.....
The Happy Crab - Don’t Worry, Beach Happy!

Anissa R. Jun 8, 2025 03:29:20 AM
Summary: House is convenient to everything, peaceful and relaxing.
Christie S. May 22, 2025 08:34:30 PM
Summary: Amazing! We will be back. The adult kids loved it, I loved waking up to the bay every morning. The only thing I would change, if I could would be to update the couches and living area furniture in the den off of the kitchen. It was not at all comfortable to sit on and we like to gather and play games/watch movies, etc. There are areas for gathering, which is awesome. We had a huge take out crab dinner on the screened in porch, got to fish and just enjoy Chincoteague. This is close to everything!!!
Vikram A. Oct 12, 2024 02:22:56 AM
Summary: Really enjoyed the place, beautiful sunrises, great little island and food
Debbie J. Oct 1, 2024 08:05:12 AM
Summary: There are some little things that could use some improvement. Maintenance: The screen doors need adjusting, they are difficult to open. I needed two hands, one at the handle and one at the bottom to open it. Nails are popping up on the deck and hand rail. Hot water was not working in upstairs bathroom sink. Cleaning: Fishing line and hook were on the deck. Coffee maker had coffee in it. Lint catcher was not clean. Someone caught a lot of fish before us. The binder could use a map of the island. We got a booklet from the Chamber, you may want to add some of their materials to the binder. Positive side: The beds were comfortable. The couch, bathrooms, stove and counters were clean. Sunrises were beautiful from the deck. Overall, we had a great time in Chincoteague.

Summary: The hosts were fantastic, communication was awesome. The house was very clean and appointed - love that they include the bedding! Quiet neighborhood. Great location. The house is a little dated but well cared for and I am finding this typical of beach rentals in general. We would stay again!
Lucy V. Aug 9, 2024 10:55:24 PM
Summary: The location is great. We loved the neighborhood and it’s proximity to the park. The dock and view are beautiful and we enjoyed the decks and screen porch. The interior is a little down at the heel with old carpet and worn furniture. Overall enjoyable stay and good value for the price.
Keith -Cynthia G. Jul 27, 2024 07:48:46 AM
Summary: Great communication and location for our small family reunion. Enjoyed the Pony Penning activities.
Dan M. Jun 19, 2024 11:16:23 PM
Summary: My family had a 4 day stay in Chincoteague and the Happy Crab was perfect. Great location. Not far from the beach. Secluded, quiet neighborhood.
Tim S. Oct 10, 2023 12:37:42 AM
Summary: Delightful stay, very nice interior spaces and 4 decks to sit and relax.
Deborah E. Sep 1, 2023 03:02:26 AM
Summary: Property was as expected as far as location. There were some issues for us with how clean things were. Dried up contact lenses on the bathroom floor was a clue!! Grate on the wall going up the stairs was filthy and the one bathroom had questionable residue on the baseboard.
