About this cottage rental
Enjoy true relaxation and serenity in this wonderful place that refreshes your soul. The open well stocked kitchen and cozy living room provide ocean views from every angle. Cook on the gas stove as you watch the seabirds dive for clams, even from the bedroom. A new wrap around deck and dock has been added this year. The loft has two twin beds and a queen which also has ocean views and skylights. The large yard with comfy hammock, lounge chairs, and gas grill provides ample room for yard games along with direct water access for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and exploring. There are quaint towns to explore within minutes of driving along with prestine beaches with good waves to ride. A pet friendly beach is within walking distance, along with great restaurants, ice cream parlor, Flos Clam Shack, and parks. There are antique stores, spas, high end consignment shops, mansions, festivals, polo matches, wineries, and the gorgeous cliff walk in Newport for scenic exercise. This is a great find for vacation!

Loved the house. Perfect for the two of us. Only disappointment is that even though the house is on the water, access is not easy. There are rocks to climb, and our backs couldn't navigate that safely. Stairs or rocks arranged as stairs, would have made this stay a lot easier to cool off.

The home was a wonderful getaway. The house is immaculate and decorated so beautifully. Carol was a great house. Everything was perfect! Would definitely stay there again!

We absolutely loved the deck and view. The waterfowl were so much fun to watch after sunrise. Saw 3 Blue Herons, 2 Snowy Egrets and huge number of cormorants a
In just. One morning. It was very peaceful. We hated to leave. The cottage was very comfortable.

Upon arriving at the property, I was immediately struck by the secluded beauty of the location, a charming cottage nestled right on the edge of the water. The view from the deck was inviting and mesmerizing, with the cove's calm waters gently splashing against pier.
The cottage itself was a cozy haven designed for relaxation. It had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. One of the most memorable parts of my stay came on the second night. Not long after the sunset, I stepped out onto the deck and was greeted by the most stunning full moon rising over the horizon. Its golden-pink hue reflecting on the water was breathtaking.
Carol and Doug’s cottage provided me with the perfect opportunity to retreat from the world and find the tranquility I was seeking. They were exceptional, thoughtful, and kind hosts. Thank you.

We had a great time and the house was perfect for our needs. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning and evening and looking for water life from the deck. Doug and Cathy are great hosts and answered all of our questions along the way. We will definitely look for this place if we make a return trip to Rhode Island.

What an adorable place! I had a hard time just leaving the back deck. The water got hot instantly. Doug and Karen we're never more than a phone call or a text away. Their response time was incredible. We hated leaving.

Should include use of boat as an option 🙂
Very much enjoyed our 2 nights!

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Portsmouth- it was the perfect fall getaway! The house has a spectacular view of the water and has the perfect outdoor deck for relaxing. The location cannot be beat with quick drives to Newport and Bristol. Carol was quick to respond to any questions we had. We can't wait to go back!!

We had a great stay. Carol and Doug were amazing hosts and super responsive to questions. The property is situated on a beautiful bay. We had great weather and enjoyed every bit of relaxing on the decks. Super close to everything, great restaurants and attractions. House was well appointed and really had everything. House was nautical themed that matched the surroundings. Overall, great experience with beautiful views and sunsets.

It was very nice. The owners were very friendly, the property was in a perfect cove and there was a lot to do if we wanted to explore. Many good restaurants nearby was a big plus too.

I had a nice time. Excluding a 4 hour wait to enter house, was given wrong #, No deposit back and Was charged 129.00 for cancelation that was unable to use. Was charged twice for property tax and insurance, no one contacted me. Very disappointed with Carole not informing me of these issues.

The property was beautiful. Loved all the decorations. The view was amazing. I would highly recommend this place. A few things I wish had been different were the bedroom window didn’t have a screen. The grill tank was empty-we had to get it filled. safer stairs to the water. We had a great time!

This waterfront Cottage is well kept and extremely private. We’ve been renting at Cape Cod for several decades but the ride became unbearable. This cottage fills the bill for us. Carol & Doug we’re always quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend this cottage.

Lovely place. Doug and Carol were so personable and answered any questions that we had. Speaking with them was like chatting with friends you have known forever. The cottage was just adorable. Fully stocked. We didnt want for anything. We spent most of our time sitting on the beautiful deck taking in the beautiful view. Highly recomend this place if you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful time away. we will definitely be back. Thank you so much Doug and Carol for renting this little gem to us.

Definitely a dwelling to sit back with your love ones and enjoy all that this home has to offer. Unbelievable sunrises, beautiful wrap around deck with outside shower. An amazing beautiful dock right off the deck. Perfect place to bring your dogs. Everything you need inside the home to have a very comfortable stay. The bay right at your door step with all its wildlife is incredible. Everything that R.I. with its beautiful natural resources and historic sites has to offer is only minutes away. Don't miss it.

This property was not properly prepared for our arrival, OR the preparation falls far short of the standard required
The property was cold and damp on arrival. It took 24 hours to heat it to the point that the samp smell went away
A major concern is the gas stove. This is close to the middle of the living space with no proper ventilation above, meaning that burned gas can circulate freely around the roof area
The person sleeping in the loft area found difficulty breathing with the fumes coming up from the stove area. This should be considered a health hazard, especially for elderly people or children
The bathroom is in need of a major overhaul
The property is too cluttered with personal items to feel comfortable. Some effort might be made to make more space for guests to relax comfortably
The BBQ was not clean and could not be used
The welcome mat outside the main door is very dirty and reflects poorly on the overall hygiene
The wonderful location of this house makes up for the shortcomings enough to give 3 stars, but I cannot recommend it to others until these issues are resolved

Awesome location for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. Sunrise views, kayaking and fishing and cookout on the deck were enjoyed by all. Thanks Doug and Carol for sharing your place with us. Will recommend and return.

This was a great place to stay with family. It was freezing outside when we were there but the interior was cozy, and the kitchen had all the essentials for cooking. Our only regret was that we didn't get to use the porch and dock-- too cold!

Staying at Doug and Carols home was great! We loved the beautiful back deck and the peace and quietness! We hope to come back in the summer! I would recommend this home to anyone!
