Great beach location

We had a short stay, only two nights but we really enjoyed the community and proximity to the beach. The house is very cozy and was perfect for our needs. It is close to a lot of historical sites and walking trails and we loved just walking through the neighborhoods looking at the beautiful properties and beach views.

Great cottage literally steps from the beach!!

My wife booked us for my birthday weekend and we had a blast. I hadn't realized how close we were to the beach - leave your bedroom windows open and you can hear the waves crashing in!!! The beach is just steps away so we grabbed a blanket and breakfast and sat watching the surfers out riding the waves. About the best way to start your day or see the stars out at night. We brought our bikes and the few restaurants and bars are just a couple of blocks away. Most folks just walk to them. The small market is maybe 5 minutes by car and has everything you'd need too. Cottage was perfect for us, cozy, with a nice living area and 2 bedrooms, efficiency kitchen and full sized fridge. Nice little yard too so we could store the bikes there, table and chairs and small fire pit and grill. Would definitely return. Loved it.

Great location, but not for tall people!

The property was small, but well kept and tidy. We met the owner in passing and he was super kind and welcoming. He communicated that the fire pit had broken prior to our arrival and he replaced it promptly. And the beach is literally steps away!! The only downside is that my husband is 6’ 4” and bumped his head several times on the light and door frames. We were there less than 48 hours so it was doable, but he wouldn’t have lasted a week. I’m much shorter and had no issues. Outside of the property… our guest rep sent a very inappropriate text that she explained away, but made me feel less than comfortable reaching out again. It was a small thing but soured the experience a bit.

The cottage was even better than expected. Extremely friendly environment including contact agent, housekeeping, and owners. The privacy component -including backyard and ocean shore was what we were looking for and exactly what we experienced.July 5 - 12 were the dates we stayed. Enjoyed our time.

The first day we went over to Block Island. We hadn't been since we were kids. We ate dinner at the Ocean Mist, excellent and within walking distance from the house.The second day we went to the Lizzy Borden House and to dinner with North Kingstown relatives at The Crows Nest. We also stopped in to see Taylor Swift's house before dinner. On our way home we stopped in our old neighborhood and did a memory drive. Thank you for a very fun 3 days!!!
