Near me Clydes Cider Mill, Olde Mystic Village. Halfway between beaches and arts downtown of Westerly with restaurants, three theatres, live music, outdoor park, library etc....
Quiet and relaxing vacation spot still close to all amenities halfway between town , Listen to the wind in the trees all day rain or shine from large three-season porch.
This house is not luxurious but clean, comfortable, well-loved, and relaxing.
In Summer: Halfway between main street downtown or Westerly and 5 beaches including Wuskenau (pass and parking pass provided), State beach of Misquamicut, natural Napatree point, and Taylor Swift favorite expansive East Beach.
In Fall: Near Clydes Cider Mill, Olde Mystic Village.
Perfect for families of older kids, not the right place for toddlers under 5 (old house. Not childproof). Walking area down sidewalks on East Ave (both sides 1.5 miles, total 3 miles with Moore Woods walking area 1/4 mile straight walk away from house).
Air conditioning in bedroom window units. House includes all amenities as if it were your vacation home- spices, soap, towels and linens, basic cooking needs, etc... Great place for a quiet getaway.

Convenient to Boston, NY, Watch Hill, Mystic, Newport , Westerly, Casinos, New London, Block Island, etc...
Located in Westerly RI, this charming cape is 3.5 miles from Misquamicut Beach and the beaches of Watch Hill Rhode Island. Near golf, kayak rentals, and 1 mile from the center of Westerly's quaint New England Main Street America town featuring famous Wilcox Park, Granite Street Theatre, Shakespeare in the Park, RiverFire and more.
This home is in the perfect spot for touring New England- 45 minutes to Newport and Providence and Casinos. 15 minutes to Stonington CT fishing village. 20 Minutes to Mystic CT. Travel 30 minutes North up route 1A to tour the fishing villages of Galilee, Point Judith, and more. 1 1/2 hours to the heart of Boston. 3 hours to New York City. 20 minutes away catch the ferry in New London CT to famous Block Island or travel farther to Martha's Vineyard- all close enough for a day trip.
Atmosphere: This cottage is not luxurious- it is well-loved. It is a rustic cape cottage near everything that families have used for years as a flophouse going to and returning from the beach. It has all of the original wood cabinetry and charm of a New England cottage in a coastal town. Second bathroom in basement is rustic and intended for washing sand off from the beach.
This is the kind of place my family likes to say 'it's ok to track the sand from the beach into the kitchen' where we sit around all day on the porch playing cards with the kids, listening to music, grilling and telling stories. Bedroom rooms have air conditioning units. We hope you enjoy and love it as much as we have.

Nice 50/60’s home. Has 2 baths, the bath downstairs is very rustic. It was about 4-5 miles from the beach.

This cottage is absolutely adorable. It’s kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’d need for a stay. We cooked all of our meals here. We loved cooking dinner in and then going down to St Clair for an ice cream cone to watch the sunset over the bay and then taking a little night walk on East beach. Temps were in the high 70s all week and the house was very cool and comfortable. I’m very high maintenance but found the window air conditioners in all bedrooms to be more than ample. The house is in a quiet area that feels quite safe, very close to Stop N Shop. We spent one rainy day in Mystic Ct at the aquarium which did not disappoint. The home was very clean with no offensive odors or areas. We used the basement bathroom as a clean off from the beach and had no issues. The house has much of its original features which I found to be so refreshing and charming. I am desperate to get back to this house next summer. It was positively perfect, as was the beach pass. Anne was most hospitable. Loved this house so so so much.

The first and second floors were fine, but the basement where the 2nd bathroom is was very dingy and musty smelling. We had great difficulty with the outside doors not opening/locking correctly. One of us got locked out. After back and forth messages and calls, the problem was not remedied so we reached agreement to leave 3 days into our 8 day planned stay. While the property owner was cooperative in refunding her portion, we have had great difficulty with VRBO in refunding their portion and the state taxes. I have been on the phone with them 3 times totaling over 1 1/2 hours with still no resolution.

This is a lovely house in Westerly. It's well equipped and has lots of space to enjoy. Beautiful gardens front and back and a nice porch.
We had a very enjoyable time.
It's got all you need, great laundry room and spacious kitchen. No dishwasher as stated, which was not a problem for us. Bathrooms were functional and the downstairs one worked well for post beach showers.
5.0 / 5.0
I loved the creeks, smells, feel of the house, and even the "creepy" (as my wife put it) basement; it reminded me of when I would visit the New England area when I was a kid. We cooked several meals and were happy with the kitchen supplies. Plenty of room to stretch out.

Nice but not very accurate description.
It was very nice but some things were a bit misrepresented. There was only a/c in bedrooms. The house was also very old. The host communicated immediately and I appreciated that.

Wonderful house in a relaxing beach town.
This lovely, comfortable house was a wonderful place for our stay in Westerly. Its spaciousness was most welcomed for our family of four, especially when one wanted to nap while the others played. The location was in close proximity to beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, town center, etc.. It was also equipped with pretty much everything you could need for a vacation home. We especially enjoyed the back porch both as a place to do some light business work and a place for meals throughout the day. Anne, the owner, was easy to reach and very accommodating. Thank you so much!

Great location and outdoor space!
We were a group of 5 friends in town for the weekend and can’t say enough about how great the location is. You are within 5-10 minutes of the grocery store, beach, Watch Hill, and downtown Westerly. The house was very clean with tons of space, and we spent most of the time on the back porch which was lovely. The kitchen was well stoked with all of the essentials. Just like the reviews say, the house is not luxury but has everything you need. Our host Anne was very responsive and flexible for our needs - thank you!

Great visit! Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay and the house was just as described. Cozy, homey, bit dated. We loved the patio! Anne, the owner, was so quick to respond with any questions. The house was in the perfect location for us right in between the beach and downtown …and took advantage of both! Also made a couple trips down to Mystic. We would absolutely stay again.

Great Location Great Labels
The perfect location for a girls’ weekend with my college friends! Close to fun things and great space for being around each other while also having space if we needed a break.
Pros:
Lots of beds, well-stocked kitchen, loads of books/games, excellent seating areas outside, loads of seating inside, and the labels of everything! Loved it.
Cons:
No nonstick pan, the bathroom in the basement was scary to use, the hedges at the end of the driveway made it really difficult to exit onto the street.

Close to Watch Hill
We enjoyed our stay here. The house is as described: a 1950s cape, not fancy, but it is clean and has everything you need (but no dishwasher). It is on a fairly busy main road but has a nice big quiet back yard. The location is great, near many beaches and we had plenty to do like kayaking and spending time at the beach.

Great family vacation
Great location- close to several beaches and cute seaside towns! No more than 20 minute drive to all these locations. Large yard, beach equipment, plenty of space for a family to spread out.

The house smells damp. The ad said AC but only bedrooms are cooled, so if you are not at the beach, the tv room, etc. are hot. I asked for a portable AC but she said there’s a fan.Bathroom was dirty and so were floors. My impression is that someone is using the house between checkout at 11 am Saturday until the new guests check in Sunday at 4.

Such a wonderful week!
We found this VRBO property to be well-maintained, clean, comfortable, and perfect for our needs. The games and activities kept us occupied and connected as a family. We used the fire pit to make s'mores. We grilled. We had breakfast on the deck. We walked in the neighborhood. We went to the beach nearly every day. We appreciated the stocked pantry and the easy check-in, clean up, and check-out processes. We highly recommend and would come back again.

Westerly Get Away
We're RIers and wanted to stay in state and get away to the beach. This house was ideal. The location was easy for biking to the Misquamicut beaches and the pass to one of them was greatly appreciated for the parking, which can be in short supply or costly if you're here for a while. We loved the back deck for dining and reading....perfect spot after a day in the sun. Plenty to do in Westerly: take-out was good, ice cream shop in downtown was really good and getting to CT for a rainy day was super easy. The bedroom a/c(s) were appreciated on the humid days. The kitchen is equipped and the grill was good to have for our fresh fish/veggie nights. We will definitely be back. Thanks Anne!

Peaceful oasis
During our two-day summer stay, my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the cottage in Westerly. When not at the nearby beaches we took advantage of the spacious living area and the best feature of the property...they sunny deck! There was plenty of space to have a cookout and campfire, and the yard was very private with only one of three adjoining neighbors visible. Anne was available and responded quickly to any inquiries, and the cottage was very clean and tidy!

5.0 / 5.0
Accommodations were above expectations. Very comfortable for 6.
The kitchen had everything and more than we needed including spices, cleaning supplies, clean sponge and soaps. Bathrooms had extra tp, soaps, shampoos, etc. Extra blankets, sheets and towels were available. The only complaint the 5 kids had was that there was only one TV in the living room but that was a plus for me as a parent who wanted less screen time and more outdoor time! They were able to safely ride their bikes on sidewalks near the house. Even ventured the 3 miles to the beach. Lots of stores very close by. Convenient to everything. Loved sitting on the porch and by the firepit at night. Very peaceful place to stay.

Very well located for beach
We rented expecting to house 5 people for a family event. Unfortunately the event was cancelled and there were just 2 of us. This house was definitely set up to handle a group! Lots of room to spread out plus a big back yard. However, we felt at home just the 2 of us. Kitchen was well stocked, and best of all, the owner was great. No power when we arrived due to the previous night's bomb cyclone. She brought us flashlights, candles, an extra blanket, and firewood. Luckily, we got power in a few hours. Anyway it's not fancy, but we enjoyed our stay. Beware, that when you arrive that there are very large hedges for privacy that make seeing the driveway difficult.
