The house is awesome. The photography and decor inside the house is great and the view outside is amazing. It would have been nice to have a water dispenser in the fridge and have better seating outside to enjoy the view and a softer couch because my 2 year old bumped her head on the arm of the couch multiple times. Besides those minor things our stay was amazing and we were very happy!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful view. Great location for viewing ponies and kayaking.Unfortunately there is no where to sit and enjoy that view. The queen bed was painful. The couch was uncomfortable and not able to seat my family of 5. Not able to have an adult fully lay down and relax. The porch has an amazing view buts its again nothing comfortable to sit on.The owner has amazing artwork and a great house layout. Very clean. Harbour rentals was great to work with. Great communication.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented Pony Swim for many years and continue to enjoy the home and location. There has been little updating in the unit and we’ve noticed that the master bedroom mattress and living room sofa/love seats are well used and are in need of updating. Besides those two item we continue to love spending our yearly beach week at Pony Swim!

Beautiful views of the bay and of the ponies! The couch, love seat and beds were very uncomfortable but didn't prevent us from enjoying our stay. Would be nice to have a propane grill for guests' use. Beautifully decorated condo!!

We usually vacation in OBX but wanted something closer this year. The duplex was clean and wonderfully decorated. The photography and art was tasteful, the air conditioning was excellent, and the view of the bay and sunrise beautiful!We saw the ponies in the bay onmultiple days and a dolphin our last morning. It felt like home and we didn’t want to leave! Our only complaint would be the beds and poor communication with Harbour rentals. The beds were hard and uncomfortable and we had to reach out to the rental company for information prior to our trip because none of the details were available to us in the Vrbo app They promptly and courteously emailed back but gave us incorrect information. They told us to bring pillowcases and linens but did not mention we needed to bring pillows, paper goods, dishcloths, hand towels and soap. It may have been in the contract initially signed but that was ages ago when we booked (and we didn’t remember) so we reached out by email before coming down and unfortunately we're not given all/correct details. Thankfully, we brought our own pillows and paper goods (we’ve been Vrbo’ing for years so not our first rodeo) but it would have been upsetting to arrive without them available; I mention so others are aware. Thank you, Terry, for sharing your home with the Rice family! It as a blessing to us and we made wonderful memories there!😊

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here several times over the years when the calendar allows. Other places when Pony Swim is n/a. This is by far the best place we have experienced. We no longer go to Chincoteaque unless this property is available The property is great - very nicely decorated. Wonderful view. We found the couch, which still looks great, to be noticeably uncomfortable. That could be that I have aged :-).WiFi was very good - no issues if you bring streamers with you.

We stayed at Pony Swim for a few days. I was immediately won over when I looked out the back window, across the water and saw the ponies. The house was clean, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. I enjoyed reading in the notebook provided about the artist who created the artwork in the condo. The Wildlife Reserve is a real treasure and just an easy ten minute drive away.

This rental was all we could’ve asked for! It was myself, my husband, and 3-year old son. We loved seeing all of the wildlife right outside the house and fishing from the dock. The house had everything we needed for our stay; such a well-stocked kitchen! It was centrally located to walk to a park and a restaurant, less than 5 minutes to drive to the main streets with more restaurants and shops, and 15 minute drive to the beach.

The house inside was tastefully decorated. However, we couldn't make use of the upstairs bedrooms due to heavy cigarette smoke smell but the smell was not on the main floor. There must have been a smoking party going on upstairs prior to our arrival. We purposely left the house vacant for the first day, arrived on the second day instead to ensure the health safety due to Covid 19. We tried to sleep upstairs the first night we were there and the cigarette smoke triggered my and other family member's asthma. For the rest of the vacation, we slept on the couch and wooden floor in the living room. We informed the management company 3 times- left the message the first time, called again and the lady on the phone said that she will let the manager know, called the 3rd time and they just ignored. Upon arrival on our first day, we had to remove all the quilt blankets on all the beds due to the heavy smoke smell and put them in the closet and closed the doors. On the day that we left, we tightened up the house and were looking for these blankets in the closets and couldn't find them. When we dropped off the keys at the office on our departure day, I mentioned to the lady who claimed she was the one answered the phone the second time I called that she entered the house one day while we were out and took the blankets in the closets away. I asked her why she didn't ask to enter the house and her response was that she thought that we had a 'mutual understanding' (I am not sure what that was). We were shocked and disgusted at the response. She never called to ask if she could go in and remove the blankets or let us be aware of her coming, she never called to check up to see how we were doing, she never called to see if there could be anything that she could do to remove the smoke smells or at least tried to do something. She was never supposed to enter the house while we were there without our consent, especially during this pandemic. The management company handled the situation very immaturely and unprofessionally. They chose to ignore their responsibility and only did things to cover up for their mishaps. Overall, I have NEVER written a poor review but for the first time for the safety of my and my family, I am writing it. Hopefully the management company reads this and have theirs staffs retrained on how to handle the situation the right way with their customers.

Pony Swim is wonderfully located and has a fantastic view. The property was super clean and tastefully appointed. My only recommendation is that the living room furniture be upgraded. The couches aren't comfortable and there really isn't enough comfortable seating for more than three people. If you are stuck with some rainy days and need to be inside reading or watching movies, this is a drawback. But otherwise, I liked it enough to book this property again in the future.

We wanted a quiet tranquil week long break with a waterfront view. The property met all our expectations and more. It is well located, check in and check out were a breeze. Grocery store a short drive away. The house itself is well equipped clean updated and spacious. The art work is lovely. The views are so soothing. And the night sky simply beautiful. We strolled the pier every day and post dinner. It was fun to see the tide come in. Lots of lovely birds and animals abound, including a turtle in the marsh. We totaly recommend this property and hope to return soon. Thank you for allowing us to rent it.

we had a wonderful time here. Everything was more than we expected. House was close to docks, view was exceptional and fishing wasn't bad either. Close to town and restaurants were great with the exception of one. Got to see the ponies from our deck. The only complaint that we had was the beds were not very comfortable. Other than that we had a wonderful vacation and the house was perfect.

I highly recommend this property. The house is in very nice condition. The location was beautiful on the water and quiet.

This was a great base for our family of 5 to explore Assateague Island National Seashore and Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge. The house was close to everything but it was so quiet at night. The property managers were very helpful, even getting someone to come out on a holiday evening to fix the air conditioning when it broke.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family loved the property and the vacation here! Wife said "Thank you for bringing us here!" This is the very center of the Pony Swim roundup event. We were here a month before the roundup, but tour boats were in front of the dock every day showing everyone else where the ponies would swim to. Bring your boat if you have one, the dock is nice and very accessible (town permit required to use the very close launch ramp, $20 for season). Kids caught crabs (sweet and very clean) with the carb traps on the property, fished from the dock, paddled SUP boards across the Assateague channel. Owner has the place beautifully decorated, and the one-off carved Pony is a museum piece. You will truly feel the shoreline experience here, it's like Cape Cod was fifty years ago before everything got built up on top of eachother. Very clean and well equipped for a relaxing week. Warning though, the waters all around here are murky due to the tidal action of the Chesapeake, but that makes for plentiful seafood! Lots of shore birds (Isis, egrets, laughing gulls, etc.) on the marsh in front of the decks. A well-behaved laughing gull sat on the railing every morning we had breakfast on the deck; the kids loved giving it a treat or two!The Assateague Nation Seashore is minutes away, fishing, surfing, boogie-boarding, and dolphin-watching. Lighthouse is a must-visit. Plenty of dining, a small waterpark great for a day diversion, and very reasonable grocery store. A charming area to visit and this property was a wonderful home base.Check in and out was easy. Recycling center is open many hours most days including the weekend. The carport was great, not getting into a sweltering car and having lots of room to store bikes, SUPs and fishing gear in the alcove was handy. Sleeping quarters: cozy master with a queen, crew quarters with 3 twins, living room fold-out twin.
