What a wonderful actively being restored historical site where you can REALLY get up close with…read morehistory.. go ahead touch it... it's okay. Much of the home is not restoration and only has a few Kerr family items but all is decorated to period with a few local artist donations to help the restoration cause. Free entry and tour... but there are containers for donations.. no one asks but it only seems right to drop it in. Great grounds... stop by for an hour it won't be wasted.

Made a quick stop to the quiet city of Onancock while in Chincoteague on vacation. We happened to…read morearrive when free tours were being given (Thurs-Sat 11am-3pm I think). The woman giving tours was finishing up with another group when we arrived and when they finished up she promptly started with my group. I cannot stress how cool the tour was. The woman who gave the tour was incredibly knowledgeable of the Ker family as well as other prominent eastern coast families. We loved that we could actually go in the rooms and touch and see parts of the house that, in other historic places, would be roped off. Not everything in the house was original, but they did a good job of placing furniture that would have been in the house in the appropriate rooms. If you opt out of the tour or can't get it, make sure to check out the mastodon tooth and vertebrae found on the grounds. They seem out of place amongst the 19th century relics, but man were they cool. Also make sure to check out the beautiful gardens to the back and side of the house. Overall a great experience if you love historic houses and if you find yourself in the area!

I don't think I'll ever find out, the place is too exclusive for me.

I am going to review the entire town all at once…read more It's really everything I love about a beach town, with very little of what I hate about beach towns. Lots of nature, locally owned businesses, that working-class family vibe - it doesn't come off with that snotty rich kid "my family owns a shore house" attitude that many beach towns seem to have. So what if the houses aren't too fancy, the restaurants aren't gourmet, and the people aren't too good-looking? You want that crap, go elsewhere. Chincoteague has natural beauty and real small town character that you're not going to find anywhere else.

I arrived at 9:00 AM and was greeted by a line extending outside the building. After checking in at…read morethe kiosk, I waited more than two hours without being seen( still sitting in the lobby waiting as I type this). Since food and drinks are not permitted inside, the lengthy wait is even more challenging. I want to be clear that my frustration is not directed at the staff currently working. The employees appear to be doing the best they can under difficult circumstances. However, it is evident that this office is severely understaffed. Having only 2 service windows open out of 14 available windows is concerning and significantly impacts customer wait times and the overall experience. I encourage management to evaluate staffing levels and allocate additional resources to better serve the public. While this is a government office, it still provides an important service, and residents deserve timely, efficient, and respectful customer service.

You cannot sit at the closed windows even if there aren't any available seats.

If I could give them zero stars I would. Zero help and a waist of time.

This Social Security office is located conveniently off a main boulevatd and it is easy to access…read more The building is the first one on the street corner, and it has a separate parking lot. The office has 17 customer service stalls, but usually, only about 4 are operational since COVID. The pace for being seen is relatively good. The customer service is good, and they all seem interested in assisting you in completing whatever you came in the office for. For me, the mood of a government office is pretty somber, and it is hard to get past the feeling that most people are seriously stressed out when they come through the door. I will say that the first person you see is a security guard who offers you a grin when you offer her one. She seems very pleasant and eager to help people. This office is so much more peaceful than the offices in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. The citizens demonstrated a definite sense of entitlement in the way that they complained about everything from the seats to their wait time. I like the atmosphere in Portsmouth much better, I know that's a first, but it's true. I knocked off a star because I am back today because the representative forgot to submit one document that held up my form. She did complete it and give me a copy with a date time stamp so everything is dated properly, so I still think her laughter and smile in a government office on a hot afternoon before Labor Day weekend was awesome.

The Outdoor Recreation program alone is a major asset. Between equipment rentals, camping gear, kayaks, paddleboards, grills, and seasonal offerings, it makes it possible to plan full weekends or spontaneous outings without needing to own everything yourself. It's practical, well-maintained, and priced in a way that actually supports families instead of excluding them. Commands can even check out items for zero cost for official events with a request submission. The gym and fitness facilities are equally solid. They're clean, well-equipped, and large enough to handle real demand without feeling chaotic. Whether you're lifting, doing cardio, attending group classes, or just trying to keep a routine while juggling family life, the facilities are reliable and accessible. It's one of those quality-of-life details that quietly makes a difference over time. What really ties it all together is how easy it is to see and access these offerings through MyNavyLife. Events, programs, seasonal activities, youth offerings, and special family events are all visible in one place, which makes planning far easier than hunting through multiple pages or flyers. There's a clear intention here to support not just service members, but entire families, and it shows in the range of amenities available. The MWR Library is honestly a very sweet location and has a single sailor Liberty Center for folks that are on their own and they have a lot of programs to make free time fun and not super expensive. Between Outdoor Rec, the gym, community events, and family-oriented spaces and places, JEBLCFS offers a level of support that is genuinely meaningful. It's not just "nice to have" we actively use these resources, and they've consistently made things better when we use them.
