Wildcat Cove, one of Chincoteague Island's finest and most beautifully situated vacation rental homes, is at the north end of the island on Chincoteague Bay. It is 400 feet from the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge's Wildcat Marsh, a pristine place of spartina grass savannahs, long finger-like pine ridges and sloughs, magnificent sunsets and sunrises, and the quiet dignity of egrets fishing. Assateague Island National Seashore, with its miles of wild beach, is a leisurely 15 minutes away by car.

Wildcat Cove is part of Wildcat on the Bay, an impressive array of nearly a dozen bay-front homes that leave most of their surrounding natural setting undisturbed. This unusual vacation venue on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is little more than a half-day's drive for most families of the mid-Atlantic region, from New York and Philadelphia south to Washington, Richmond, Norfolk, and Raleigh-Durham. Since it was built in 1995, Wildcat Cove has been host to numerous family reunions.

Separated from the bay by 50 feet of low pine ridge and salt marsh, Wildcat Cove gives one the sense from its high decks of being aboard a ship at sea. The first deck, at the third-floor level, offers a private hot-and-cold water outdoor shower from which by day you can enjoy the beauty of the bay or, on a clear night, marvel at the brilliance of the stars. The sky deck, at the fifth-floor level, is the highest point in Chincoteague accessible to a vacationer. To the northeast this deck looks out beneath the canopy of tall pines to a wide salt marsh and Assateague Bay; to the northwest is a view far up Chincoteague Bay.
