The Boathouse at Holly Cove
It was colder in the evenings but the wood burning stove made a huge difference.
This was a well equipped peace of paradise off grid.

Labor Day Weekend Glamping
I loved the “glamping” vibe. There was a fire pit and a grill available (even though we didn’t use it). Kayaks and a paddle board were easy to use around the bay. Saw one of the closest shooting stars I’ve ever seen while star gazing on the dock, and the sunset over the bay is just gorgeous. Hope to be back soon!

The Boathouse at Holly Cove
My partner and I stayed at the Boathouse for an off the grid/quiet get away, and it definitely delivered ! We loved being surrounded by nature- listening to the crickets, seeing the stars so clear at night, petting the goats, and having the chickens follow us around. It gave us the camping vibe we wanted without having to set up our site. It was simple yet cozy, perfect for what we were looking for. The views by the water were absolutely beautiful; I definitely recommend catching the sunsets. We enjoyed the kayaks and SUP too- it was my first time on the paddle board and I had a blast! We were far enough away from things for peace and quiet but close enough to explore the town (highly recommend scoops ice cream!) and even do a day trip to chincoteague.
It was a great stay and we would definitely come back again.

Lovely cooler-weather spot
Beautiful little place, but right on the marsh and not very well-ventilated (despite the big open doors, there isn’t much airflow) so it’s stuffy, kind of stinky from the compost toilet, and very buggy. Probably lovely in cooler weather, our fault for camping on a very hot weekend!

An eastern shore experience
Overall my son and I had a great experience. Our hosts were very accommodating and forthcoming with all our requests and questions.
There is so much to do from the kayaks and paddle board to the board games and scenery is truly gorgeous. When we weren’t indulging all that, we sat in the hammocks or on the dock and just enjoyed the scenery. my son so loved the animals and exploring the beach with alll it’s treasures. We were not prepared for the bug situation there though.
Definitely pack some spray and be prepared to endure because The mosquito netting is only nominally effective while sleeping. This would be the only drawback from my recommendation for the boathouse but there are several options at holly cove
