Blufin Bungalows & Marina
Super cute and clean bungalows. Not sure if it’s just because it was the off season, but the pool was half drained and was green and not nice appearing. We did check in at 10pm and the code on the door was not the code they had sent me so we had to call to get the code. The bungalows truly do float ...

Days Inn by Wyndham Chincoteague Island
OK breakfast. Check in took forever. The person behind the counter could not multitask or answer questions “out of order.”
