Absolutely wonderful!

It was exactly what I was looking for. Dogs are allowed, the pet fee and rules are very reasonable. The property was as described with plenty of amenities and the best part was the water right across the street with the living room bay window being a literal window that overlooks the bay! I enjoyed the view very much and was sad when it was time to depart. The closest beach is walking distance. Lots of stores and food in the area so no need to drive too far. Overall an excellent place to stay.

Short RI Stay

This cottage was perfect for our stay for a swim meet held at Brown. It was exactly as described with great communication - check in was easy and we were able to check out later making it much less stressful. Would love to return in the warmer months! Thank you!

Great house and location

This VRBO in Portsmouth was the perfect location! Tons of things to do in a very close proximity. Very friendly neighborhood, coffee shops, and markets. Walkable to the beach and coffee shops. Mike was a great host and very quick to respond via email/text. Will definitely stay here again if ever in the area!

Cozy and very dog friendly!

It was very clean and a nice, cozy space. The owners are great with communication but non-invasive, which is always good. We had a little snowfall and the owner shoveled around our car and was very thorough! The location was quiet and the marsh view looking out the big bay window is pretty. It was a great little, yet spacious house to stay with our dog. He had plenty of space to play with his toys. Everything was clean and neat. It's an older home but well taken care of and works out really well with a dog! The price was very reasonable. There's a nice trail that runs along the marsh at the end of the street - great for walking your best friend. The surrounding streets are well lit at night and there's a nice field with playground just around the corner. We would highly recommend Mike & Marqy's place for a couple with a dog or a child or just a couple's peaceful getaway.

Perfect Winter Getaway

We completely enjoyed our stay! Now with children in high school and college, our schedules don’t always mesh, so when we found we had a few days off in January at the same time, we jumped on finding somewhere in a nearby state that we could drive to easily since we were traveling with our dog. We chose RI, as we never been there before, and we are so happy we did. The cottage was clean and spacious and well equipped. Just a quick hop in the car and we were near something for everyone to enjoy. The landlord was wonderful and helpful and the only thing we would change would have been the weather! We can’t wait to book again in the warmer weather with longer daylight so we can explore and adventure some more! This getaway (whether for the weekend or longer, for a winter break from cabin fever at home or a well earned vacation from daily life), is a perfect place with lovely water views to enjoy some of Rhode Island’s beauty and diversity! So much to do, so much to see. Definitely would recommend booking this property!

Anniversary Trip

We enjoyed our stay in Portsmouth. A very nice and clean property with a waterview out the front window. We were able to walk up to a local ice cream place as well as Flo’s lobster shack, both which were very good. The owner, Mike provided great detailed information and knowledge of the area and of Newport, which was very helpful in choosing what we wanted to see. We look forward to making another trip up into the area hopefully in the near future.

Awesome stay and great communication!

From the initial booking, to check-in, to check-out everything was great! Mike had a lot of recommendations for the area and was quick to help if we had a question. We were only 2 people but the house is definitely big enough for more. We can recommend this VRBO. Thanks for the great accommodation!

Sweet

We stayed for two weeks in this property. Everything worked great and all the necessary supplies were available. It's a great location for visiting all around that part of RI--half an hour to Newport, Little Compton, Providence. The manager was very responsive and gave us fresh towels halfway through. There is a lot of seating on the back deck. The only thing to watch out for is that there are a lot of coyotes in the area, so you will want to be careful if walking a small dog.
