Snug Harbor Marina & Resort

What a wonderful place- family owned and operated. Clean- has a beach vibe with palm trees and sand. No Bs. Basic little cabin- was helpful to have a stove and oven- shower could be nicer but it’s totally worth the stay as it was clean and close to everything. Having boat access and kayaks were easy to book and take out. We loved our stay we added an extra day. It’s the only accommodation across from the marshes where horses hang out- we could see them from there. 10 min from a beautiful beach. Our boat tour was great! We will definitely be coming back in the future- it’s a perfect get away place For a small family. Thank you snug! We are so happy we found you!

I recently took my mom to pony swim week in Chincoteague – it was the only thing on her bucket list. We stayed at Snug Harbor Marina and Hotel and had the time of our lives. What made it such a great experience was the owner Basia, her husband john, and Maria. They were so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The room was quaint and very clean, it had all the amenities we needed. The fact that we were 25 feet from the water made it even more special. Captain John gave us the greatest boat tour. His local knowledge far surpassed anything you can read about Chincoteague. His family had been there for generations and knew the true history of the town. We would have loved to sit longer with him and just chat about the island and its history. All three of them were a wealth of knowledge.

Captain John came highly recommended for a small boat tour, and they were not wrong! We liked the very small group experience (6 people on our tour, boat looks like 8 or 10 would be the max). We went to a couple of places where all the boats were going to look for ponies, and a couple of places where it was just us and people fishing. We converted several different ecological niches, increasing it changes of seeing different wildlife.

Snug Harbor is such a gem! We stayed as a couple four years ago and brought our two young boys back for a family vacation over the 4th of July. It’s such a peaceful spot, yet just minutes away from restaurants, activities, and the beach. If you can rent the two bedroom waterfront cottage, it’s hands down the best spot! We really enjoyed renting kayaks and our private boat tour at sunset! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back again!

Fun quick trip. Rooms are very clean. A bit outdated so if you are expecting a new hotel room then you will be disappointed. Beds were clean and updated a bit. Views are spectacular… especially having coffee on your chair looking at the wild horses. Staff are wonderful and even helped with a lost bag… shipped it to us the same day. Boat tours and kayaking on site so no need to even leave. Will stay again!
