Pleasant Week

The house was immaculate; the views from the desk were magnificent; and the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I ever had in a rental. The only fault we found was the road to the house was really not in good shape, with holes, and not very auto friendly. All in all, a pleasant stay.

Oasis of Places!

We just loved this cottage! As advertised, it is located right on the water. And although neighboring cottages are nearby, the way it is laid out with fencing etc., it still provides a nice, private lot that allows you to sit out and enjoy a nice, peaceful waterfront setting. The inside of the cottage is also great. It is a bit of a throwback, decor-wise, but this added to the charm. And facilities-wise, we had all that we needed. We cooked 2 dinners during our stay, one inside and one outside on the nice gas grill. We found everything we needed and were very pleased. I highly recommend this wonderful cottage and will try to rent it again in the future.

A beautiful and quiet place

I love the cottage. This is our second year staying while attending the Newport Folk Festival. It is the perfect place to relax after the long days at the festival and to share our favorite artist and encounters there. We hope to be back next year.

Portsmouth cottage

We rented this darling cottage for our daughter and her 4 children. The location is just idyllic. The children love crabbing on the beach. We dug for clams as well and enjoyed eating steamers. The cottage is steps from the Bay and everyone enjoyed a daily swim. The view of the lighthouse and bridge is one of the best in all of RI. We’ll be back!

Serene Retreat

We stayed seven days, I could have stayed a lifetime. The cottage is right on the water, a magical delight for a westerner from the high plains desert. We had a front row seat, spending hours watching the rhythms of the water and the sky. The cottage was thoughtfully appointed with items to really enjoy and partake of the place. On the first morning, watching the birds on the water I wished for binoculars and a bird book to ID the birds. I looked down and saw both, just waiting for me to discover them. I could go on with examples where the host anticipated my want, and there the items were. This is a place a family really loved (loves?) being in. It was a delight start to finish. The host was quite kind to me, facilitating the delivery of an important item so that it would be immediately available when I arrived. When he found out that our flights were delayed, he went to the cottage and turned on lights to assist our arrival in the darkness. Simple, thoughtful kindness to make our stay enjoyable. I would stay again at any opportunity. The kindness of the host and the magic of the place will bring me back.

Charming Private cottage

The location is beautiful and tranquil. The view from the livingroom and deck is surpassed only by the view from the Adirondack chairs in the back yard. Constructive comments from previous reviews on this cottage have all been addressed exactly as the owner's response implies. This indicates a host who is working to make a welcoming environment and it shows. The home is well stocked for cooking, though there are plenty of restaurants within a reasonable drive. There is a generous library with a wide variety of reference material to peruse. The king bed was very comfortable. The bay windows have indeed had screens added and the bathroom is updated and very clean. A previous review mentioned some stains on the carpeting, but the size and quantity were not sloppy or off-putting but instead indicate general use. One item of note, the bedroom was a little stuffy. The windows were hard to open, so we didn't and instead just used the AC on the fan setting and it was fine. Directions for entry and cleanup were clear and not laborious. This was a great trip and the hosts attention to detail made that possible.

Relaxing Weekend Babymoon

We loved this cottage! If you are looking for a small, quiet, private place to get away, this is the one. Best points: - Amazing views, sun set right over an almost 180 degree view of the water, boats and birds, a lighthouse and the Mount Hope Bridge. - Walk right out to the water from the stairs. - Everything you need is in the cottage, and major shopping areas are only a few minutes drive if necessary. Newport 30 min, Providence 40 min. - Seriously comfortable king bed. There is also a twin out in a separate room that overlooks the bay. - Air conditioners in both the living room and the bedroom worked very well, we were not hot at all. - Water pressure in the bathroom shower was great, there were plenty of clean towels. There are only two things I would change about the trip: 1. The road to access the cottage is an old beach access road. Gavin did warn us that that it's pretty bumpy before we got there, but man was I not prepared! An SUV is definitely recommended, a smaller car will bottom out in the giant holes in the road. At 8 months pregnant, it was a very uncomfortable road. This isn't completely on the owner though, it is a shared road, but that would be the first thing I would try to fix! 2. The windows in the living room do NOT have screens. We wanted to open the windows to hear the sounds of the bay but then the bugs were getting in so unfortunately we had to close them. Overall, we would go back!
