Great location close to beaches. Everything we needed was in the cottage. Host super easy to communicate with. Outdoor space was spacious-wish we had more time to enjoy it and found time to grill. Plan to be back!
The cottage is small but the perfect size for the two of us!We had zero issues and enjoyed our stay. The only downside was the fact that Matunuck Oyster Bar had a fire and was closed. Last trip to Rhode Island we ate there three times. Thank you Marnee for for allowing us to stay at your place.Jim & Laura
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!!!
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!
This is our seventh year in a row staying here! Our summer vacation wouldn’t be the same without staying at the Snug Cottage! It really has everything two people could need. There has always been excellent communication with Marnee. Can’t wait for next summer!
A dream of a place and just the right size for me. Great location to east matunuck beach and bikable. Marnee has great taste with her properties. Bed, pillows, and decor very comfortable. Coming back for sure!
We loved the coziness of the property. The price was affordable and the Snug Cottage had everything we could need.Everything functioned excellently and very quiet area.The priximity to the beaches was unsurpassed. Thank you Marnee

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.
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.
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.
