Home away from home!
Snug Harbor is simply amazing, and is truly a home away from home. The location is on the water with amazing views of the lighthouse and the poines. There are tiki huts, lawn chairs, etc. for you to enjoy. Basia and Captain John can take you on kayak and boat tours. I highly recommend taking a guided tour as you learn so much history. Our hosts were so committed to us having a great time and went the extra mile so we could see the poines every chance possible. The cottages are comfortable and super clean. The beds are very, very comfortable. Stop at the grocery for you food and drinks, and you're all set! There is no better place to stay on Chincoteague. The hospitality is A++++. Snug Harbor is on my lsit for an annual trip!

Amazing!
The entire property is terrific! Only thing I would change is having more comfortable pillows - they felt cheap. Super easy check-in process, great vibe when we arrived, and arguably one of the best cove views on the island. Minutes from everything that matters. 10/10 would recommend 👍

Perfect Family Vacation Spot
The location overlooking the water to the Assateague Reserve was obviously fantastic. We got the kid’s binoculars so they could see the wild horses across the water in the morning and evening. Great birdwatching too—it was raining during our trip but the back patio was covered so we could enjoy our coffee and see the gulls diving for fish. The cottage was clean and smelled nice, has an A/C unit and two fans for the bedrooms. The owner was so nice and drove to her house to grab newspaper for us so we could do a crab boil on the back porch. Lovely!!

Cute cottage on the bay
The cottage was cute, had all the necessities. It is a little dated, as is the property as a whole. This property could be so much more with a little TLC. The manager was very friendly and helpful with activity ideas. We rented a kayak, boat rental prices are astronomical. We’ve rented nicer boats for way less. Overall, decent place for a weekend trip.

View is all they have. Place is poorly furnished and the owners provide no amenities. Dishes to wash tough. Don't give you a sponge. Need to write a note. Tough paper can't be found.

Snug harbor resort has something for everyone in a gorgeous setting
We came across snug harbor without any prior knowledge of the area and could not be happier that we chose to stay here for a week. Whether you’re traveling with family, as a couple, looking for R&R, or doing some sport fishing this is the place to stay. The cottages are literally on the water and they are spacious and very well taken care of. The wild horses can be seen and heard from only a couple hundred yards away. Captain John is more than happy to show you around or bring you to awesome secluded beaches. There’s a thousand kayaks and paddle boards for fun. At night there are romantic fire pits that make you feel totally disconnected from the world but you’re only a few steps from your cottage. And the ocean breeze keeps all of the bugs away. If you’re at all into nature, or world-class beaches, then go visit Basia and Captain John. They will make your stay amazing!

Cozy, clean little cabin with the BEST view on the island!
The owner is very welcoming and gave us great recommendations on restaurants. The boat tour with Capt. John was the best! We were fortunate enough to see the wild ponies several times. We’ll definitely be back!!

Great time in our cozy cottage across from the light house
My friends and I had a great time in our cozy cottage across from the light house. We easily made a reservation for an eco-tour as well and the three of us had a great time soaking in the sun while kayaking around Chincoteague and learning about oysters, mussels, birds, and the wild ponies of the area. There were plenty of stars at night and reason to sit under them while the harbor breeze pushed away some of the August humidity.

Great waterfront location with beautiful view
Clean cottage at a quiet street with paranormal view of the salt marsh bay, right by the water and piers, great for fishing, boating and crabbing. Rooms are very basic, Would be nice to have coffee and creamers in the room (there is a coffee machine though). AC and fans are a bit noisy for light sleepers, other than that it's a very comfortable place to stay for a relaxing summer vacation

MOST PERFECT VACATION EVER
Captain John of Snug Harbor Marina, located in Chincoteaque, Virginia took us out on a tour on the waters. The views and the weather was just perfect. He explained the history of the horses and much more and it was very interesting to hear the stories. Captain John took us to the launching area of the Friday night launching of the rocket. We got to see it take off from the ground up. It was very exciting standing on the deck at Snug Harbor Marina having a perfect view of it taking off and going high into the sky. Snug Harbor is the most relaxing vacation place to take the family. They have so much to offer with rental of kayaks, boats, tours and much more. Fish and crab right from the docks. They have everything you need right there. Captain John and his wife Basha work hard to see that all their visitors are well taken care of. Don't cheat yourself out of a perfect place to relax. Call them to reserve your next vacation and see for yourself. You will love it. You won't want to go home. Chuck and I want to thank Basha and John at Snug Harbor Marina in Chincoteague, Va. For the most perfect vacation we have ever had. You guys are great the Marina is great. We had so much fun sitting around the Tiki bars making new friends and just hanging out crabbing and fishing. Oh, make sure you feed my ducks rice krispies and cheerios John!!! People go there. You will never want to leave and you will never want to go anywhere else. They have so much to offer you and the cottages are so sweet with everything you need. Walk out your door and you are at the water with boats, kayaks and much more waiting for you. Most relaxing place on the bay ever. You are only 5 minutes from the ocean. You are right across from the lighthouse and wild ponies. What more could you ask for? Make your reservations, you won't regret it at all.

Fouth of July Getaway
We took the couple days off after July 4th and stayed four nights. Cottage was clean and comfortable and the dock area inviting to relax on. The owners, John and Basia were friendly and welcoming even sharing steamed clams they had caught earlier in the day. Being kind of central on the island, everything was close and easy to access. We will definitely go back.

THE BEST location for the PONY SWIM!
We are horses lovers so we couldn't wait to go to Chincoteague for the famous Pony Swim. We have always wanted to go to Misty's home :) We picked Snug Harbor for the place to stay, cause they were right on the water, they had great reviews and the cottage had a kitchen so we were able to cook our meals and save a lot of money. We were so shocked when we got there and we realize we are right by the actual Pony Swim! Like a minute away. What a location! We couldn't pick better spot. We were so excited! What's more they also have a marina with boats and kayaks so we rented a few, paddled for about a minute to the Swim spot and we were so close to the ponies that I couldn't believe it. They swam the ponies from Chincoteague to Asseateague right in front of us and I was able to take o lot of great pictures and kids were more than happy. It was worth every penny we spent. We drove all over the island afterwords and Snug Harbor has definitely the best location, no doubt. If we are lucky enough to do it again we will definitely stay at Snug Harbor cottages. The whole Pony Swim experience and Snug Harbor will stay in our memories forever.

Chincteague Island- so nice...Snug Harbor-Simply the best...
I love that place! We still talk about it. My kids keep asking me when we are going back to Snug Harbor. They had so much fun fishing and crabbing of the dock ( just few steps from our cottage). We have recommended Snug Harbor to several friends. We have been going to Chincoteague for years and haven't stayed in a nicer place... very laid back, relaxing with outstanding lighthouse view, and the wild ponies right across the channel every morning. We couldn't ask for more. We had a nice, waterfront cottage for only around $140 a night. We stayed for 3 nights but next time we will definitely stay at least for a week. Easily, the nicest property around. Close driving distance to all attractions, plus marina with boats, canoes, kayaks right there. We rented some kayaks one day, they gave us great recommendations where to go to to see the wild Chincoteague ponies and we saw bunch of them, even the baby one, it was awesome! We were very close to them, we had them all over us, it was very exacting for all of us, especially for the kids. Our cottage was very clean, cozy and it had a full kitchen, AC, wireless Internet, Tvs etc. Perfect size for the four of us and the bed was soooo comfortable. Any by the way the beach is just about 10 minutes away and it is the cleanest beach I have ever been to. We were more than happy with our choice. They are simply the best...
