Cozy and comfortable.

We enjoyed the stay, it was cozy. The only reason I am giving it a 4star is because I should have paid more attention to details when booking the cottage, it was too small for our family. Host was nice and communicated well. Location was good. Deck in the back has a beautiful and serene view. There are a few things for improvement though - Air conditioner makes too much noise, there was no dish washer. Overall we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the serenity of the area.

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 👍

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.

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!!

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!

Stingy

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

Beautiful Spot

My husband and I had a fabulous time at Snug Harbor Cottages. The cottages are modest, but very clean and comfortable. Lovely view of the lighthouse. We took a boat tour with Captain John that was just great. We highly recommend staying here.

Our favourite place on East Coast

We travel a lot and Snug Harbor became our favourite place on East Coast. We try to come every fall to simply relax. When we are there we feel like nothing else exists... it is very peaceful and relaxing, away from the craziness of this world. It is one of the very few places where we can truly relax. We look forward to this visit every year and we got some of our close friends hooked on Snug Harbor too :) They ended up staying there even more often than we do :) Cottages are verycozy and clean, they have all we need including kitchens, the views are outstanding and the hosts are very friendly, helpful and they do a great job with running this mini resort. Kayaks, boats, SUPs are available to rent right on sight which is very convinient too. We just made our fall reservation and can't wait to come back!
