About this property

Charming cottage with short drive to the beach or the city!

Cora's Cottage was built by my husband, Kenny's grandfather Harry and is named for Harry's wife, Cora. We love this sweet cottage, it is so warm and welcoming - your home-away-from-home. A large eat-in kitchen provides a bright space for preparing meals, playing board games or planning your day. The portable dishwasher will make clean-ups easy! And to smooth wrinkles in your traveling clothes there is a full-sized ironing board and steam iron provided for your use. Coffee maker, blender and microwave are provided. A grill is available for outdoor bar-b-ques. A screened front porch makes a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or a bug-free respite on a nice evening. Parking for your car on the premises or just a short walk to the bus stop for transportation to the beaches or the capital city and all points in-between! Historic Wickford and East Greenwich are within minutes for great dining and shopping. Or if you want to take a little longer trip, the "Fast Ferry" to Martha's Vineyard is close by and historic Newport is within a half-hour drive for fabulous dining, scenery and tours of the Gilded Age Mansions! Our capital city, Providence offers terrific night life with "Water Fire", museums, theater and great restaurants! If your stay is work related, the second bedroom can serve as an office, with a writing desk, wifi and printer provided.

The house sleeps up to four (4) people. The main bedroom is spacious with a queen bed and windows for light and fresh air. The second bedroom sleeps two with a day-bed that can be configured as two twins or joined together to make a "king" bed for a couple. The cottage is sunny and bright with lots of windows. Room-darkening blinds are provided on all the windows. A large air conditioner cools the whole house quite well, but a smaller window air conditioner is provided in the main bedroom as well to assure your comfort.

There is a large, sunny back yard that includes a large vegetable garden. The flowering plants and the vegetable garden are maintained by the owners who live on the adjacent property. If we have a good growing season, a wonderful Rhode Island tomato may be in your future! We look forward to your arrival!

Comfortable Cottage in great location
Ruth and Kenny are great hosts; very friendly and kind but also very mindful about leaving us to our privacy and space. The grounds are pretty and the cottage is homey, clean, and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would re-book if we visit the area again.

Wonderful, perfect for us!
My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Cora's Cottage. It was comfortable, cozy, and relaxing there. Our hosts were more that gracious in attending to our needs. Ruth and Ken made our stay memorable. Thank you to both of them

Cora’s Cottage
Cora’s Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. The home has everything you might need to include a screened in porch and a large backyard. The property is centrally located in Rhode Island and close to beaches. Kenny and Ruth live next door and are the best property managers and neighbors you could ever have. They are both very communicative and ensure that you have everything you need every step of the way…to include going above and beyond by providing a small continental breakfast and coffee for your first morning and veggies from their garden if in season. We loved the home and Ruth and Kenny so much we came back for a second stay! Highly recommend!!

Charming property, Great Hosts & Location
We loved our stay with Kenny and Ruth. They are lovely hosts and the cottage is so cute and clean, and incredible history of the cottage construction by Kenny's grandfather. We found the cottage centrally located for all our interests, close to the bike path and Calf Pasture Beach, Audubon centers, and nature trails. Would definitely stay here again :)

Wonderful experience at a cozy, coastal inspired cottage
We arrived early and contacted our host to ask if we could check in early. She gladly accommodated our request and welcomed us an hour early. When we checked in, we found a eat off the floor clean house with fast working internet, multiple televisions, a fully stocked bathroom, complete with many towels, face cloths, soap, Q Tips, masks, makeup removers. There was everything and anything one could think of! The kitchen had coffee, muffins and orange juice so we did not have to rush out to buy anything for morning one upon arriving to the property. And there was plenty of ice in the freezer. Beds are very comfortable. Furniture is better quality than you would find in a hotel. The yard is large and very private. Our dog loved running around and fetching his ball in the back yard. The hosts are super nice people, which made our stay very special. I would highly recommend this property to an individual, a couple or a small family. I don't think you could be disappointed staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Gobeille and Kenneth Allen

Host profile image
My husband, Kenny Allen and I are North Kingstown residents and live right next door to Cora's Cottage. I am a childhood transplant from Michigan, but Kenny has lived his whole life in NK. We went to school together from 7th grade till high school graduation in 1965! Kenny grew up on Essex Road where his family home included pasture for sheep and a cow! Things have changed a lot since then! We enjoy camping, music, watching pro sports on TV - especially golf. Kenny is a retired finish carpenter/contractor and I am a retired grant administrator. We enjoy gardening and keep a large veggie garden on the cottage property. We have always enjoyed making new friends as we have travelled with our camper and now look forward to meeting new folks right here "in our own back yard".

Why they chose this property

As mentioned - Kenny grew up on Essex Road. His grandfather, Harry, built a number of houses on this road, one of them being our own house and another, the cottage next door.
When the cottage became ours and we began our "short-term-rental" VRBO journey we decided to name it for Harry's wife Cora. This is an older neighborhood with lots of history. It is very dear to us. We hope you will enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is charming and comfortable. Centrally located to beaches and our capital city, Providence. Lots of excellent dining, sight seeing and shopping within easy reach. Free parking within a few steps of the house as well as a very short walk to the RI transit authority bus line.
