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They have a strict no refund policy because they don't want to give everyone their money back once they see how old and outdated this property actually is.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 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 The cottage itself was outdated and there was potable air conditioner in the kitchen and the bedrooms were very hot.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.

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.
Worn out futon
Bathroom sink - 1950?

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!!
