1848 Island Manor House, situated on the magical island of
Chincoteague, just off the mainland of the Virginia Eastern
Shore, is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast with a fascinating
history. 
The two stately buildings used to be a single home to two
couples. When the wives (who were also sisters) decided they
did not want to live under the same roof, workers poured a new
foundation and slowly rolled the disconnected houses apart.
Today a beautiful courtyard and sunroom connect the two
buildings to complete this beautiful manor which was voted
"Best Bed and Breakfast for
Viewing Wildlife" in Arrington's Inn
Traveler Book of Lists.
Eight uniquely decorated and very spacious guest
accommodations await the island traveler who wants the best at
a reasonable price. Choose from King, Queen or Full beds and
private baths or for friends and family traveling together,
reserve two suites with an adjoining bathroom. Pleasing
touches of vintage architecture is complemented by the Bed and
Breakfast's natural surroundings ... a wonderland of wildlife
and island beauty. This is truly a unique experience.
Breakfast is a decadent Southern style feast with delicious
home baked goods and robust coffee to start the day off right.
Enjoy your breakfast in the dining room, sunroom or courtyard
when weather permits as you plan a fabulous Eastern Shore day.
The nearby Assateague National Seashore, affectionately
known as "the beach" is actually 37 miles of
pristine shores for swimming, surfing and finding seashells.
Climb to the top of Assateaque Lighthouse where it seems you
can see to the other side of the world.
Everything about Island Manor House defines a unique and
memorable vacation. Make plans today to stay in this historic
Island Manor House where time slows and everything looks more
