A Special Story.....
Slack Tide had its beginnings as a small single family home on Assateague Island as part of the Assateague Village fishing community, just down the hill from the lighthouse.  When the residents were forced to abandon the village in the early 1900’s, many homes were floated across the Assateague Channel to be used on Chincoteague and the mainland. You’ll find more information about the old Assateague Village in the books located in the home. Pull up a comfy chair and enjoy the tale of how it came to be.....
Slack Tide - A truly special Vacation Experience on Chincoteague Island!
