The property was very quaint. Owners friendly. Cottage needed an extra tv in the living room.

We loved the location right on the water. We could see dolphins from the back deck! The staff was great, and we liked being able to rent boats from where we stayed. The units were clean, and the beds were so comfortable!
The wifi was essentially non-functional which was a downside. We would also have liked the second bedroom to have two twin beds instead of another queen.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

This is not a Marina, nor is it Hotel. This property is a MOTEL that has not been renovated. If you don't mind staying in a motel from the 1970's, then this place would be fine. They would not give me a refund so I moved to the Fairfield Inn by Marriott which is an actual hotel. The hotel we stayed at ended up costing less than the Snug "Inn". Buyer beware. They have a strict no refund policy because they don't want to give everyone their money back once they see how old and outdated this property actually is.

This property is located in a beautiful spot overlooking the water with views of Assateague Island in the distance. The lodgings are adequate but quite dated and aged for the price. Kayak, stand up paddle boards or boat rentals are available for an additional fee. A suggestion to the staff would be to offer guests a kayak or paddle for a couple of hours at no charge to offset the high room rate and allow guests to enjoy the beautiful surroundings at their leisure. Providing some ground coffee and a breakfast/welcome snack to have in the kitchenette would also be a nice feature for the price of accommodation.

Location on the water is lovely. Able to see the Chincoteague Wild Ponies on the distant barrier island from the cottage deck

We spent two nights at the Snug Harbor marina and Hotel in the Chincoteague. John and his wife was great and helpful. The cottage itself was outdated and there was potable air conditioner in the kitchen and the bedrooms were very hot. Overall the experience was great.

We loved everything about Snug Harbor! It was the perfect relaxing place to stray. So clean and right on the water. The owners were great people and really made us feel welcome. The guided kayak tour was the best part of our trip! We had such a wonderful time, we can't wait to return. We could see the wild horses from our covered deck. Every morning we sat and watched them while we had coffee. We are already looking to book our next stay here. Great place! I cannot say enough about it!

Snug Harbor has the real island feel. From the beautiful view, palm trees, quiet reggae music to a comfortable spotless cottage, I can truly say there is no other place like it on the island. We have stayed in a lot of different properties on Chincoteague but this is our new favourite place to stay. A very nice addition are boats, kayaks, paddle boards to rent as well as guided kayak and boat tours right on the spot. We did a boat tour with Capt.John and it was just wonderful! I wish we stayed longer.

We looked forward to a weekend and decided to splurge - paid $350 a night - but were not expecting a cabin from the 1950s. An old, poorly equipped bathroom; a lumpy, pilled futon for a couch (glad we didn't have to sleep on it) no microwave it the kitchen, no paper towels (even after asking) no hair dryer (they did supply after asking) Mismatched dishes, plastic window blinds that wouldn't open and close without major effort. There was a loud noise that I thought was a bullfrog outside the window - but it was the refrigerator. If we had paid half the price I would expect some shabbiness, but we were truly shocked. The positive point of this place is the view- the marshes and lighthouse are gorgeous. The host was nice and helpful about the area. Maybe they can use the inflated price to make the inside nice, too.

This location was perfect. I was thrilled after booking this quaint bungalow right on the water. Worth every penny and my dog was able to stay too! Loved it so much I paid to stay a little longer and had a late checkout. Great staff, great stay.

First off, we checked in and they charged me $50 per day per dog. I told them I had 1 and may have a second coming halfway through the trip. They charged me for both dogs regardless. And promised to reimburse me if the other dog didn’t come the entire time. I walked into the room and a used bandaid was in the floor. Then when I checked out they charged me for 2 extra days if 2 dogs and said they had video of me having 2 dogs there. When I asked to see the video he the owner said he could mail me the video and refused to show it to me. Then he went to the cottage and accused me of breaking stuff and called the police. The officer called me. Looked over the room and said this owner does this stuff all the time. And tries to over charge people. Room is not worth it.

On bay. Great view. Humble cabin accommodations. John and Basha are very friendly. John is a fantastic guide on excursions around the area.

Property location is amazing. But property is smaller than what appears from pictures on website. Also wifi isn't that great even though they claim because of nasa close proximity. So if you're planning to work from this place using wifi, it won't work. Just a heads up

This is a perfect place for a getaway. The cottages are comfortable and well-equipped. The location right on the water has a beautiful view of the Assateague Channel. The staff were extremely obliging and helpful and we look forward to staying there again

Perfect for our little family and baby! Sandy play area right on the water and a cozy little cabin to snooze in and wash up and eat.

Rooms were very clean and we loved the waterfront view. Beds are comfortable and kitchen was stocked with dishes/utensils. The office was quick to send someone over in under 2 minutes to turn the heat on for us and the room got to a perfect temperature. Make sure to wake up for sunrise and walk out on the dock, you won't regret the view. They have all the water activities available for rent, very convenient although we did not have time to use it. Would definitely book here again!

The views were amazing and we had a nice time at Snug Harbor and on the morning of checkout we were wishing to stay another night. The only thing we would ask to change would be if the TV was in the sitting area we’re all the guest can hangout and watch instead of the TV being in the one bed room. Also having possibly a microwave would have been nice. Other than that we loved Snug Harbor and we will plan to comeback soon.

This place was disappointing from the very beginning. Way too expensive for what you actually get. The pictures make these little cottages seem grand. We wouldn't exactly call the view "waterfront" - even though you can walk out of the cottage and see the water, the pictures made us believe we may have a porch that faced the water, but we were next to the road. Our particular cottage was dated with a loud AC window unit (loud enough to interrupt our sleep several times and way too hot to turn off or even turn down). Good comfy bed, but no way you could sleep four people in this place. The pullout sofa was located directly across from the foot of the bed. Opening it up would have completely blocked any pathway from the door to the bathroom. Other major downfalls are that we could hear the guests next-door because the cabins share a wall.
The coolest part about this place was the wide range of water activities offered - kayaks, paddle boarding, boat rides, etc. However, we thought the activity options were pretty expensive. We opted for the sunset boat ride at $50/person plus tax. We also took our dog for an extra $25 fee. When we got on the boat that evening, we were informed she couldn't sit, stand, or lean on the seat (she was wearing a life vest and was tethered to us). For the extra fee, that seemed unfair & the rules weren't disclosed to us when we paid for her. The boat ride lasted just about an hour - great views, but just an okay tour guide. Stay was average at best.

The views were amazing. The staff was superb. Unfortunately, COVID prevented the tiki bar from being open, which was a bummer. However, it was a wonderful quiet weekend away. I highly recommend the boat tour.

The best location on Chincoteague. I can't imagine a better one--right across the channel from Assateague, quiet and private. Cottage was immaculately clean. We checked in very late at night and Basia worked with us to make sure we could get in and get comfortable. We rented kayaks, which were great. Only wish we had more time to spend.

Few minor issues - the door knobs were loose and there were no cleaning supplies in the unit. Other than that is was perfect. Plenty of space, comfortable bedding. Air conditioning unit in an odd place. Could use 2nd unit or ceiling fan to boost in Summer.

This is most definitely the best spot on chincoteague overlooking assateague with a view of the light house. The studio apartments were immaculate and had everything we needed to make and enjoy simple meals outside on the dock. Kayaking and boat tours were great. We will be coming back and hopefully staying longer than the 2 nights we stayed.

This was a relaxing get away to go view the wild ponies. Snug Harbor was across from the lighthouse with beautiful scenery and off the beaten path and "touristy" part of this small island. Highly recommend to take a boat tour of the island, so glad we did.
Etta's and Bill's were excellent places to eat. The town is cozy and quaint. Stop in the local establishments for a more personal shopping experience.

It was so close to pony swim with boating available. Would have been nice with paper, pencil, paper towels and hair dryer in room. Needed 4 chairs at table rather than 3. Very nice to be away from hotel type environment.
