Onancock is a town by a creek that connects the Chesapeake Bay. Its tiny urban area and low population have made it a desirable holiday destination nowadays. The geographic pinpoint is also very good; situated on the eastern coast, it is not very far from cities like Washington, Richmond, and Norfolk. Moreover, you can take day trips to nearby attractions, such as the natural preserves around the Assateague Islands, or explore things to do in Cape Charles, a town 45 minutes away.
Although Onancock is preferred for a serene holiday, people also visit the town for watersports activities. You should also visit this suburban area, and take the full fun of kayaking and trail adventure hikes. Because there are not many hotel options available in this area due to its small size, it’s always good to rent a private house instead. We are making this quest easier for you with our curated list of accommodations. Scroll down to see our picks of the best Vrbo vacation rentals in and near Onancock, Virginia.

Remember to visit these locations while you’re in Onancock
Tangier Island and Parkers Marsh Natural Area Preserve are nearby and people shouldn’t ignore these beautiful points during their Onancock trip. While the marsh forest is easily accessible on a kayak, a visit to the island of Tangier would need a ferry ride or private boat. Tangier will be a totally different experience as its culture is mixed and they also carry an amusing dialect. Parkers Marsh, on the other hand, has an abundance of wildlife. Book your Vrbo vacation rental in Onancock today, to experience all of the above.
