We had a WONDERFUL stay. Basia, the host, is so warm and accommodating and thoughtful. The views are spectacular and it is so peaceful. The WiFi/ cell service isn’t the strongest so if that’s super important to you, something to keep in mind. But we loved disconnecting and relaxing. Quick and easy drive or bike ride to shops/ice cream etc. The boat tour with Captain John was amazing, small, and super easy to set up! We definitely plan to return!!

Absolutely! Here's a shorter version tailored for Vrbo: Peaceful Waterfront RetreatThis cottage was the perfect escape. Tucked right on the water, it offered a serene, calming atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. The family-run hosts were incredibly thoughtful. We signed up for a pontoon boat tour and we saw eagles, dolphins, and ponies! every detail was taken care of, making us feel truly at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and recharge.

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.

Chincoteague Get-away

The property was nice but cottage 11 has 2 air conditioners that extend into the deck. The noise from the units is very loud and doesn’t make for a relaxed time enjoying the lovely view of the bay. Additionally, there is no pool like the listing mentions

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.

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!!

Very friendly and helpful hosts and housekeeper, who went out of her way to introduce herself and ask if we needed anything. The view was gorgeous! Definitely the best part! I loved making morning coffee and soaking in the waterfront view out on the covered patio. Only certain units have that cover and it’s perfect for rainy mornings and keeping the sun off! We did an 8am boat tour with the spectacular Captain John and got to see so much wildlife, including ponies, dolphin and more. I’d definitely recommend the tour, so worth it! The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. If I could suggest a few things I would say more surfaces to put things down, hooks to hang towels, hangers for clothing, and a full length mirror. If I’m being super picky my only complaint is the AC units. They are so loud. Sitting out on the patio it’s a struggle to learn to tune them out so it doesn’t compete with the lovely view. Totally a person preference that may not bother some. That is just a heads up to others. But overall, I loved Snug Harbor and enjoyed the experience! As an aside, we did a walking tour with Ms. Cindy from Chincoteague Step Through Time. She is so knowledgeable about the history of the town… I highly recommend!

Overpriced and uncomfortable lodging. Not enough furniture and not comfortable. Damp inside due to poor air conditioning. Owners not transparent about paying extra for use of CC to book pontoons, etc. I felt as though we were being fleeced and we were.

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!

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.
