This was one of the most enjoyable places I've ever stayed at during a vacation. It was beyond relaxing and the boat tour was informative and wonderful. I can't recommend this place enough

Staff was very friendly and personable. Room was very clean. I found the website to be a bit deceptive with the photos and descriptions posted. Rooms may all be water “view” but not all are water “front”. Yes, there’s a view of Asateague Island and the marshes from the docks but you can’t see ponies from there—at least not w/o binoculars. It’s a good distance across that water!

You cannot beat this location across from the Assateague Lighthouse or the knowledge and stories of Capt. John who was born and raised on the island! We made the most of our 2 night stay.
Very clean and well maintained family run property. The 11 small cottages are well situated with basic amenities. We took advantage of both sunset and sunrise cruises as well as the water taxi to a private beach. There are also kayak and small boat rentals. Had a fire on shore and looked at the stars. Beautiful and peaceful! Saw ponies, seagulls (finally saw a baby), oyster catchers, flocks of pelicans, a pair of eagles and many herons as well as one of the best sunsets ever! Highly recommend a visit to Snug Harbor and the Assateague Island Tours.

The location of the cabin on the water with perfect. Cabin itself didn't meet our expectations.. two bedroom cabin was a little bit tough to stay cool. had one window unit air conditioner and a fan that had to be ran all the time.. we had a propane stove noticed the cabin did not have a fire or carbon monoxide detector inside there was a place on the ceiling that there was one once upon a Time. I would think having one installed would be a factor of running a business..

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.

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.

Shabby, overpriced

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.

Don’t stay here.

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.

Paradise Island & Pony Island is what l call Chincoteague & Assateague! Snug Harbor Is what makes it my paradise! Captain John has best boat tour & Basia has best kayak tour on the island! You can look out the window of your very own cottage and see the water, sand, palm trees, Assateague lighthouse & ponies! They have tiki huts for happy hour & Adirondack chairs for lounging. It’s a family operated business for 5 decades and it shows in the hospitality you’ll find at John & Basia’s Snug Harbor Resort & Marina! Their experience, knowledge & attention to detail is unsurpassed. Your cottage is prepared for you by Maria, Basia’s mom. She even lights a candle & turns on the AC to ensure you feel welcomed & comfortable. Snug Harbor is located away from the hustle & bustle of the tourist area, right on the water. It is the most serene place l have ever visited. Thank you John & Basia for an unforgettable, awesome vacation!!

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 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.

Relaxing Get Away!

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.
