Shackeau East by Seaside Vacations & Sales
Just give me the Sea, and a little Cottage just to be…..
One of Chincoteague’s most beloved Vacation Homes, Shackeau East, is now part of our Seaside Vacations’ Family! Resting by the water’s edge in ever-popular Piney Island, this adorable Cottage has quite the following! Piney Island is the closest community to Assateague National Seashore, where our famous Wild Ponies run free. Whether searching for Ponies, beach combing, or simply relaxing, you’re sure to find your inner peace here. And, Assateague happens to be just a short bike ride or walk away from Shackeau East. The Community’s Natural Kayak Launch is right next door to Shackeau East, so be sure to bring your kayaks! Don’t have kayaks? No worries - we can help you arrange for kayak rental and have them delivered right to your door! You couldn’t ask for a better place to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with those who matter most.
As you pull down the natural Lane that leads to Shackeau East, you can smell that salty, sweet sea breeze, and hear the Gulls singing. As you enter through the Kitchen, you know you’ve made the right choice for your much needed Vacation. Kick off your flip flops, and let the fun begin!
The best way to describe this adorable Cottage is a breath of fresh air. Adorned in sunny yellows and beachy blues, Shackeau East has been completely updated, and is warm and welcoming - truly a home away from home.
You’ll love relaxing in the Living Area with Flat Screen Streaming Only TV and Free WiFi - not that you’ll need it with the breathtaking Views you’ll enjoy right from the sofa. Fireplace is NOT available for use. IF you haven’t been here, there’s nothing like seeing Snow Geese on the Beach during the Winter months! With comfy Furnishings and gorgeous Hardwood Floors, it’s the perfect combination of yesteryear and today.
The Chef in your family will love the well-stocked Kitchen with all you need to make mealtime a bay breeze. Dine in the comfort of the Central AC, or Al Fresco on the huge Waterfront Screened Porch taking in Views from every direction. It’s the perfect place to enjoy some fresh Local Crabs - or maybe some of our famous Oysters (or Arsters as you may hear us Locals say!). There is nothing like dining by the water’s edge - just imagine watching Assateague Light’s mesmerizing beam in the night sky.
Shackeau East is ideal for a couples getaway, or a small family, and sleeps 4 in 1 Bedroom and a Sleeper Sofa in the Living Area. Traveling with a larger group? Stoney Point is right next door - rent these great homes together to accommodate 12 people in all!
Brilliant blues and yellows continue in the Master Bedroom, which has a comfy Queen Bed, and beachy white furnishings. You’re sure to wake refreshed and ready to explore our beautiful Little Island by the Sea in the morning. The Full Bath is decorated with Colors of Sea Glass, and has a Walk-in Shower, and is convenient to both the Bedroom and the Living Area.
Shackeau East is so much more than a place to lay your head at night - it’s a true Vacation Experience. It’s the kind of place that speaks to you - calling you back to its beauty year after year.

We loved our winter stay at The Shackeau. The fireplace wasn’t operable but it was still very cozy. It’s a beautiful spot and has great amenities and a responsive host.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Location was perfect! We were amazed at how private this place was while being in a neighborhood setting. LOVED the back screened in porch!!The house could use some work, but nothing that got in the way of our enjoyment.
We had an amazing stay at this spot. Being on the water was such a treat, very close to everything including the park with the horses and lots of wilderness to explore. The home is very nicely decorated with local character and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend!
The location and property were perfect! Cottage was comfortable, kitchen was stocked, bed very comfortable and the screened in porch, was FABULOUS! Thank you!
Cute cottage perfect for 2 people. Beautiful views of the bay/waterway across from the nature reserve. Lots of birds to see from property/screened in porch. Walking distance to a couple restaurants but also a close drive to Main Street (restaurants and shopping). Short drive or bike to nature reserve and beach. We greatly enjoyed our stay and already booked the cottage for a week next fall.
Older house with new floors and paint. Small kitchen that we didn't use much. The living/dining area is pleasant and comfortable. It was too cold to use the screened porch but it looks like a nice place to spend some time. The view of Assateague is beautiful and the setting is quiet and private.
Three nights, me and my hubby. Found the property easily. Clean. Decorated and comfortable. Disappointed that we didn’t have access to a working fireplace. Would have been nice on a cool windy evening but otherwise nice n warm. Loved the huge front deck wrapped myself in a quilt and read in the sunshine enjoying the peace and water view.
Unfortunately a last minute family emergency derailed our planned trip, but all of our interactions prior to the canceled trip lead us to believe this was an excellent house and host.
The best view possible! House was clean, cute and tastefully decorated. Very few homes are actually waterfront, so this cottage is a dream. Big enough for just 2 adults, perfect couples retreat. Great location to walk or bike to Assateague!
We spent a great two weeks at Shackeau. We love sitting on the screened porch looking out at the beautiful view of the channel. You can't see any of the houses around you, so it is like your own private paradise. Seaside Vacations staff is very friendly and responsive. When a screen blew in one night, they came out right away to fix it. If they are not going to fix the fireplace so that you can use it, they should remove that from the listing. This cottage is perfect for two people. We rode our bikes to the beach everyday to avoid the crowds.
