Well equipped, comfortable cabin from 1940's, cute decor. Beautiful location and surroundings.
This property is not at all handicapped accessible and may be difficult for older adults to maneuver around inside, outside, and entering from outside.
Bathrooms are very small, not handicapped accessible, and would probably not be great for larger people.
A deep cleaning would be beneficial.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The stellar location and view was unbeatable.

We had a really good stay. Our first impression of the house was that it looked much bigger on the pictures and the ceiling much higher but it’s a small renovated cottage. The view was amazing, the location was great and the house felt really cozy and comfortable. Price was reasonable compared to other places.
The property could use a little bit of love and maintenance ( squicky beds on the second bedroom, second bathroom door doesn’t close and i can’t stand in the bath being 6ft, Portable AC is only in the living room and doesn’t cool off the rooms…)

The location of this property is unbeatable! After booking I sent the property manager 3-4 messages with no response at all. We were able to work things out but had there been any issue while we were there I am not confident we could have reached anyone. The home is old as stated but could also use just a little TLC to make it even better. Overall j would stay again but I think a deep clean, some new shower curtains, and carpet cleaning would go a long way

This cozy seaside rental gave us a wonderful home base for a great Rhode Island vacation. We began each day watching the sun rise over the Sakonnet River and ended the day in the comfort of the cottage. During

Clean, cozy, comfortable and amazing riverfront deck with outstanding views, day or night! Accommodating host and beautiful neighborhood. Booking for next trip as soon as we get home!

The perfect get away for a family of 3. Everything you could want/need inside 10 minutes (grocery store, CVS, beverage store and even a few small restaurants). We enjoyed beautiful sunrises every morning and great shade from the tree next to the porch in the afternoon.
We even lucked out with a fireworks display across the water that was very nice.
We could not recommend more.

My mother and I stayed here for 6 nights and 7 days. The cottage was right on the water with access to a small private beach where you could collect seashells! The cottage was very cozy and located in a quiet safe neighborhood. We had a pleasant stay!

The grandkids love being so close to the water which they were in every day. Some cosmetic items are as follows:1) the upper bedroom and bathroom doors do not close; 2) the rugging needs to be cleaned professionally or replaced; 3) the front living room has a musty smell. Everything worked fine. Thanks for a good stay.

Horrible!
The photos online only showed the parts of the house that were decent. The house smelled of mold, had cobwebs all over, rotted wood, bowing wall in bathroom from moisture, tons of caulking by shower that appeared to be related to water damage, a radiator by bed that had no cover, a new deck with no safe way to get onto it, ripped screen, screen door on slider that would not close, and on and on. It, in our opinion, does not meet VRBO standards. My husband and I both felt sick within an hour of being in the house. He has cancer and cannot be exposed to things such as mold. We have stayed at several rental homes over the years and this by far was the worse place we have ever stayed in.

We loved the location with the expansive water view and the access to Newport and Providence. The cottage was full of attractive decorative touches. The host was responsive in suggesting places to dine and answering questions. Our only concern was that there did not seem to be enough hot water for showering.

This place would had been perfect from it's breathtaking sweeping waterfront vista but the overall condition of the property is sub-standard. The place needs major clean-up and upgrade, like electrical outlets, appliances, lighting and most needed in the bathrooms. The place was also cluttered outside. Major thing was the backdoor could not be locked. Contacted the owner/manager and responded that he hasn't locked that door in many years. How can you have a rental property with no locks?

The Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room and Deck were all as described. Bedrooms and one bath have very low ceilings which would be a real problem for tall adults. The bathrooms are tiny and dated. Bedrooms, bathrooms and entryway all have a step up, which along with the outside entry, make this rental not suitable for disabled. Siding door to deck did not lock and the screen did not operate so was not used. Trash pile in side yard is visible from inside. Water view was fantastic.

We stayed for 4 days. This is a sliver of paradise !! The privacy and seclusion this place provided was just what we needed to truly get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We kayaked, SUP and swam everyday. The place was immaculately clean . A must visit . Thank you Andrew!!

We loved this property! Property owner very nice and easy to work with, also very responsive. Property was very cute/beach themed and right on the water. We brought floats and floated on the water! Only mistake we made was not bringing water shoes. Overall this was the perfect property for us and was everything we imagined it to be!

Awesome!
This place was very clean and the little feel good things on the wall etc made it clear they care about their guests experience. Carmen (property management) was very attentive to every call or request and answered so quick. Also anyone that came to assist with anything was very pleasant. Would come back fir sure. Can’t beat the location.

Charming cottage on the beach
This was our family’s first time staying in a VRBO. We will most definitely be doing it again! We’re already planning our trip next year and hoping to stay at this same house! Perfectly quaint, New England dream!
