Wonderful weekend
The cottage was very small, bed is right there in the living room, but very clean and cozy. It was comfortable for us as a couple and a wonderful retreat.
A perfect spot for a short getaway . This small studio sized cottage has everything you need including an outdoor shower . The location is perfect .. close to beach, restaurant and marina . The unit itself is very clean and stocked with fresh towels, comfy blanket and kitchen supplies.
This was our sixth year staying here and we just love it! It’s small but it really has everything you could need. The House is always so clean and maintained. The neighborhood is always so quiet and peaceful. It’s perfect! Thank you Marnee!!!
Everything about this tiny cottage is perfect from its decorations to location. One room had small kitchenette and comfortable bed . Outdoor shower and little deck gave us everything we needed.
This was our fifth year staying at the snug cottage. It really has everything you could need for a small house. Our summer wouldn’t be complete without staying there! Thank you Marnee!
4 days was perfect for my stay. Local Beaches and restaurants were plenty to keep me busy and the neighborhood was so nice and peaceful in the evenings. Cottage was great and the outdoor shower is the best I've taken.
What a charming and cozy cottage! Marnee was terrific--a great communicator, quick to respond to questions and just so nice. The cottage was extremely clean, well landscaped and very comfortable. Marnee's decorative touches added such warmth to this snug getaway. Highly recommend!
From start to finish my first ever VRBO adventure @ the “Snug Cottage” in South Kingstown was seamless and enjoyable! The property was clean, well-maintained, beautifully landscaped in a great location, and all communications I made to Marnee, the owner, were returned promptly. She even sent me a Local Restaurant, Shops & Places to See & a Check-in Guide which were very helpful. I give my stay an A+ (except for two rainy days!)
I had a wonderfully enjoyable escape to The Snug Cottage-- a very sweet retreat that's been thoughtfully furnished and well maintained by owner Marnee. The location is perfect -- only a mile to East Matunuck State Beach, 15 minute drive to Block Island Ferry (which is a day trip not to be missed), plus a choice of restaurants and many other beaches within a short driving distance. The weather was mixed with rain and sunshine during my visit and I still had a wonderful time. Can't wait to go back. PS if you do go to Block Island, get an Island Tour with Bruce at Oceanside Taxi, he's the best!
Even though we were there the weekend of a hurricane it was a lovely stay. The little kitchenette and close by restaurants allowed us to stay snuggled up indoors but still enjoy some fantastic seafood. Thanks!
Snug cottage is snug indeed. It makes ingenious use of a very small space. It is well-equipped and clean, with wonderful outdoor space. The location is a five minute drive from East Matunuck State Beach and even closer to the excellent Matunuck Oyster Bar. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The refrigerator is small (1/2 size) so we did frequent food shopping at a nearby grocery store (about 10 minutes away). The memory foam mattress on the full size bed is very comfortable. One side of the bed is against the wall and has to be accessed from the other side or the foot of the bed. The owner was very responsive and helpful.
Everything was wonderful as always. This is our fourth year staying here and we love it. For a small cottage it really has everything we need.
The neighborhood is always very quiet and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back next year!
We love this endearing little cottage! Sweetest space with plenty of storage… you wouldn’t think that someone would think of everything….Marnee surely did!
Excellent communication with the property owner throughout the booking process and during our stay.
