Lovely stay in Westerly!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house! The house was the perfect size for our family of four. It was beautiful inside and it had a great size backyard that was perfect for the kids to play or all of us to come back to and hang out after the beach or at night. The deck was a major plus too. We ate just about all of our meals out there. Beach is walkable from the house, but parking passes were provided to park right at the beach, which was very convenient. Overall we loved our stay and we will be back! Thank you!

Perfect

Our time here was excellent. The house was clean, good sized, and we loved the deck and backyard area. Outside shower was a major plus! Convenient to most places to go in town by bike or a short car ride away. Easy Parking is available at restaurants and the beach. 110% would rent again, and recommend to others!

Wonderful Cottage

Stayed at this amazing cottage for a family friend's wedding in Watch Hill and we wanted a little more space and flexibility to have a kitchen etc. We did fly in from out of state and Catherine did provide linens and towels to accommodate so we did not have to fly with these items, or take a detour to purchase on our way in. Beautiful cottage, has everything you need for a beach getaway and plenty of space.

Perfect!

The property was immaculate and exactly as the listing described. This home is cozy with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. It's located in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to the beach and a short drive to 95. It suited our needs perfectly and our host, Catherine, was a pleasure to work with and made sure we had everything we needed prior to our arrival. Five stars all the way around and if we are ever in the area again, we will look for availability here first!

One of the best rentals ever.

3 adults rented this lovely cottage for our annual beach trip. This house is perfect for a week Long Beach get away. Plenty of room, all kitchen supplies are on hand. The updates to the house were beautiful and it was so homey. We even had a rain day and were able to just cook and enjoy the house. The wrap around dec was used a lot and we felt we had individual spaces for returning from a day at the beach and just relaxing. The outdoor shower was used and enjoyed. We were there during a heatwave and stayed cool with the AC unit. The car beach pass came in handy for those extreme hot days. I would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely be rebooking in the future. Catherine was very responsive and incredibly kind.

Nice Home. Felt Deliberately Misled By Listing.

Catherine's home was clean and easy to find. However, months after my booking and days after the refund deadline, I received an email with what I expected to contain welcome instructions, and in reality was a list of all the things she WOULDN'T be providing during my stay at her beach house. For instance: I was told I would have to bring my own towels, my own linens, my own garbage bags, and that she would not be providing any beach supplies at all (chairs, umbrella, beach bag, sunscreen, literally anything at all that you might expect for a beach house in westerly RI). So it was too late for me to cancel or rebook by the time I found all this disheartening information out from Catherine. Also the "queen" bed in the master bedroom is a full and the frame is loosely held together in almost a comically negligent way. So that the entire night I was worried it would fall apart if I moved to readjust at all. The lack of hospitality which you come to expect from a VRBO caliber property owner, was a bummer. The was a deliberately deceitful addendum to the listing which was only sent directly via email after the refund deadline date was infuriating. Was it a coincidence? Doubtful. I don't like being taken advantage of, and if you are a person who appreciates integrity, look elsewhere - unless you like having to bring your own napkins on vacation.

Convenient Summer Stay

This cottage only has two bedroom but the ability to fit a lot of guest! With a full size bed, two bunk beds and two new pull out couches! Host was very easy to get into contact with and very nice! It’s close enough to walk to private beaches (about 10 minutes) in which walking and a driving pass are provided for! Only downfalls would be the pull out couches aren’t the most comfortable and the full size bed frame in the bedroom is very creaky! Other than that it was the perfect stay! Would recommend!

Easy walk to the beach, nice little view of the salt pond from the deck and love that outdoor shower! 2 sets of bunk beds was a bonus for our kids and the level floor plan great for my senior parents Look forward to staying again!

Accommodating accommodations!

We had a wonderful experience with the owner. She was very quick with her responses and seemed to truly want us to be comfortable with our stay…and we definitely were happy and comfortable! The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a family of 3. There were plenty of options to choose from for sleeping arrangements- my daughter loved the bunk beds and the new pull out couches the best! The backyard was quiet and beautiful and the outdoor shower was very private. Every year we vacation in Westerly RI and so far this was our favorite spot to stay in! We will definitely be keeping this location saved for future visits!

Girls Weekend

When we walked into the beautiful cottage, we LOVED the open concept. It was perfect for our moms (no spouses or kids) retreat. We walked to the beach and spent time outside in the beautiful backyard. The outdoor shower is AMAZING and a must do if you stay here. The owner was easy to communicate with and very hospitable. She suggested The Cooked Goose for breakfast and it was excellent. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable and there was plenty of room for the 5 of us . We will definitely book here again.

Inappropriate treatment by the owner

We rented property out of season for family get together in the area. The main reason for selecting was that it allowed dogs. It is far from the beach with the view of harvested field on main road. It doesn’t have washer, dryer or dishwasher. After we signed non refundable contract we learnt we needed to bring our sheets, towels, buy required trash bags, toilet paper and paper towels. Month before arrival when second payment was needed we got message that dogs were not allowed. Took three emails to the owner to get written confirmation that our contract will be honored and we can bring a dog. At that time owner sent us also rules for the cottage requesting that we wipe all surfaces and vacuum on arrival and departure. During cleaning I noticed that non slip mat in the shower tub was very black. I lifted it and found out that under mat there were stickers glued to the tub which were all moldy and black. I wrote to the owner with complaint. She called me immediately and yelled at me that I dare to complain and that she was very patient answering my questions and that I was welcomed to move out but will not get refund. I called and complained to vrbo but that did not changed anything. I provided pictures showing the problem. For the above I would not recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Thurston

My mother and I purchased this cottage so that we could become part of the beach community in Westerly. I grew up vacationing in this area, and now I would like my kids to grow up going there. What a great spot for a family vacation! We have so many memories at this beach!

Why they chose this property

This small summer cottage is the perfect spot for an intimate family vacation. Two bedrooms-one full room, and one bunk room, along with 2 Queen size pull out couches in the living room (These are memory foam mattresses and VERY comfortable). The yard is phenomenal for outdoor games, or leisurely relaxation. There is a front and back deck on the house, so there is plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. There is also an outdoor shower, so you can rinse before you go in the house. Bring your boogie boards, your swim suits, and enjoy a relaxing vacation at the beach.
