Summary of reviews
Great location with easy access to the beach, private deck for relaxing, outdoor shower, and well-equipped cottage. Ideal for fishing, clamming, and kayaking. Would definitely return.
4.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed. Nice location. Very close to a few different beaches and fun places to explore. The outdoor shower was a hit with my teenage grandkids! Thank you to the owners for the nice welcoming card. We very much appreciated.
5.0 / 5.0
This property is exactly as described in the listing. There is no ocean beach access, but it’s close enough to hear the surf. The Quonnie breachway, dock, and Quonnie pond are within easy walking distance. The kitchen is well-equipped and the deck out back was delightful for a cookout.
The home is very neat and clean, a typical Rhode Island beach house. The owners were kind enough to return to us a small item that we left behind!
We highly recommend this listing. It was perfect for us.
5.0 / 5.0
Enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Had all the amenities one would need. Back deck was perfect for sunsets, and outdoor dining. Close proximity to beaches and of course fishing in the breachway and walks. Would look to rebook in the future.

This cottage was exactly what it was advertised! It was quaint, cozy and absolutely lovely! The location was perfect for a quiet and peaceful stay! We met the owners who were very nice and very responsive my questions. This cottage is a gem!

1.0 / 5.0
The location of this property is great, I'll give it that. However i was fooled by some of the newer 5 star reviews. My experience was much more like the old reviews.
We stay in cottages quite a bit. I know they don't offer all the comforts of home and can be dusty. This was downright neglected.
-half of the windows didn't open. Since the small free standing AC wasnt working great it made it hard to get any circulating air.
-dust and grime on many surfaces...the blinds, the fans, trash can, coffee pot, grill filled with water and grease.
-the bathroom was gross. It smelled from the septic and is constantly damp. We kept the door closed and tried not to use it. The septic ran all night in the hallway closet and kept us up.
-the furniture is hard and uncomfortable. Sitting in a wooden chair all weekend isnt relaxing.
I could go on...we ultimately left a day early as my throat was sore and my asthmatic husband needed to use his nebulizer.
So disappointed.
5.0 / 5.0
The cottage was on a quiet street that was situated steps from the breach way and minutes to the salt pond. Great for the kids to fish and explore. The sunsets were incredible.
The cottage boasted many personalized touches. Unexpected kitchen essentials were available. Clean and bright. Rooms were spaced without feeling crowded. Deck was large and the outdoor shower was private with hot water. Able to hear the sound of the water while sleeping with windows open.
Owners are responsive and professional. Welcoming from our arrival and helpful when we left a cell phone behind.
Super close to East Beach and Blue Shutters.
Would definitely return. Vacation went as planned.

This cottage was perfect for two friends in need of a little getaway! It was a peaceful spot, but still close to everything. The bedrooms were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!
4.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay at this Quaint Cottage which is close to beaches and only a 5 minute walk to the Quonochontaugh Pond and breachway. Nice calm waters for young children.
The inside of the cottage was freshly painted, with a new kitchen that had everything we needed. New floors were installed in the living area and sunroom! The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of clean towells. However the living room and sunroom had new wooden furniture that was hard and uncomfortable to sit on. Other than that the cottage living area is very spacious. Loved the big deck too! We met the owners and they were very nice and made sure we were well taken care of. A nice cottage for familes to rent.
2.0 / 5.0
Interior pictures of furnishings and description of property being walkable to the beach are very misleading. We founnd different fiurniture that were hard and uncomfortable. Beach not accessible by walking, have to drive for about 10 minutes, no beach parking pass. Property not maintained well, and the cottage was not vrry clean when we checked in.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location we were able to walk kayaks to the water, large porch and decent sized yard we were also staying during a hot week and the house stayed cool. Would rent again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The location was perfect.
It was a relaxing and peaceful stay. The back deck had amazing sunrises. The beach is very quiet and the boat launch is perfect for sunsets.
5.0 / 5.0
Cottage was exactly as listed. Very cute and had everything we needed for our stay.
We love this area, we rent Quonnie cottages every year but never in May. It was great to have indoor shower and a little heat to take the chill off the cool May nights. Love that there is also outdoor shower but it was a bit to cold for that this trip. Kitchen was equipped with all basics, even a spice cabinet. We did cook a few meals and everything was in working order. Beds were comfortable. It’s great they have a water system for we are aware of the hard water issues at the beach, but it is rather noisy that one night it runs for like 1 1/2. Hours in the middle of the night- but can’t be helped I guess.
There were fresh towels left out as well. We did walk to the beach through path we know of , but in summer months you would need a beach pass to do so- would be great to have beach pass if allowed by the association. We usually rent directly on beach but could not get in this year for our early vacation. We will be back in the fall. Over all it was a great cottage, nice back yard and deck with ocean breeze to relax on.

Very efficient, family friendly
I was very impressed with this rental. The reviews with snags and complaints didn’t match up to the pleasant reality of this house. Sure, the water from the tap is well water. It’s filled with minerals and looks like a hot spring gold color. But the fresh water is provided by a Water cooler (with cold and hot settings). The size of the house is very spacious for a one level. The kitchen has all appliances and utensils. There is a yard with a nice hammock. We appreciated the outdoor shower with a privacy wall- for after the beach. The grass lawn is well maintained and wraps around the house. There are plenty of towels in hand. The beds are not luxury mattresses but I wasn’t uncomfortable and I weight 270. If you have children, this is really ideal because you don’t have to worry about them running into the ocean while you are in the shower. The beaches are all very close. The beach at the boat ramp is 5 minutes walk (and not giant) but it is the safest for children and the shallowest, calmest water. It reminds me of a smooth Cape Cod bay beach. It works well for a family that doesn’t require their beach house to touch the waves but the Atlantic is 50 yards away and you can hear some monster waves crashing just on the other side of the breachway. This is a place to enjoy with people that don’t need tons of details and bells and whistles to feel happy.

Close to beach but outdated
The area was nice but the water was brown, the furnishings and carpets were dirty, there were no screens on the doors and 1 window, and some of the windows would not open. The condition of the water made it hard to clean and cook. Needs a serious update.

vacation ing in Rhode Island
We enjoyed our vacation at this property. We brought our kayaks and used them every day, the boat ramp was easy access . Our grandchildren and my 93 year old mother enjoyed being by the breach way. The cottage was stocked with thing that I would usually have to remember to bring from home The owner was quick to respond to texts, Enjoyed our stay!

Great location
The location of this house was perfect walk to beach and pond. However I wouldn’t rent again as this house is in need of a serious deep cleaning. There’s a film on almost everything and I was a little hesitant to even use the pots and pans. Upon leaving when looking to make sure we had everything I discovered mounds of dust and garbage under dressers and beds that have obviously been there awhile. The beds are very uncomfortable and if it rains the front door leaks. Overall the house was okay again greatest thing is location but it’s in need of a good deep cleaning and updating (including new shower head inside as it’s pretty well clogged and has almost no pressure) outdoor shower was fantastic!!!

Great location
We’ve been going to this area for many years and this house had my favorite location. It’s a simple house with a good sized deck and a view of Quonnie Pond. Access to the beach and the pond is about the same short distance. You can hear the waves from the house. A water cooler is provided too. We brought kayaks and the trip would not have been the same without them. The owner Jim, is a nice guy and took care of a minor issue right away. Look forward to staying there again.

Ok
Great location but needed some TLC. Was also pretty dirty. It was ok but wouldn’t stay there again.

Unimpressed
The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The towels owner provided were still wet from laundering. They were left on a bed which caused the sheets to get wet. Furniture very uncomfortable in living area. The place was not very clean. The blinds looked like they were never dusted and there were numerous cobwebs in the corner of each room. The back deck was covered with bird droppings and you couldn't walk on it without shoes. The kitchen and bathroom wastebaskets were filthy and smelled disgusting. I could say more but why bother. It's very obvious to me the owner doesn't take care of this property. Will never stay there again.

Great spot but the mattresses could use an update
Would go back again
It is a cute place great location near the boat ramp
Thought there was a burn pit in back yard but there wasn't and the mattresses could use an update
Did not know about water problems but there was plenty of fresh water available in a cooler
Loved being so close to everything and overall a great time
A perfect spot to walk for clamming
The outside shower was the best

Great little cottage
Great little cottage in a very nice area. My wife and I were there with our 3 young boys, 1, 2, and 8. Very short walk to private beach, and/or saltwater pond. Excellent fishing, clamming, kayaking, and swimming opportunities for adults and children of all ages.
Cottage has everything you need. Private back deck for outdoor dinners and grilling. Outdoor shower for rinsing off before going indoors. Adequate parking for 2-3 vehicles.
We had a great time and will make this an annual family vacation.

Cute clean cottage close to the ocean
Very cute clean cottage close to the ocean. Great area in Charlestown Rhode Island. Walking distance to the bay where you can fish, clam, Kayak, or just relax. Short walk to a beautiful sandy private beach. House had everything you need. Just packed my clothes and food for the week. Weather was beautiful. Can't wait to go back next summer.

Lisa and Jim
The cottage accommodated us well. It could have been cleaner, there seemed to be a dampness film over everything but sometimes that can happen at the beach. We would have liked to have been able to open more Windows but the cranks were broken on the casement windows. We also were under the impression that we were a part of the west beach assn but we had no beach access and had to drive to the town or state beach and pay daily to go to the beach. Live and learn! The deck was very relaxing and the cottage was very well equipped

A home away from home
I've been coming here on and off for about 17 years. My family and I have had so many great memories here. Love hearing those waves off in the distance. The place is well maintained inside and out. The large back porch is great for spending time relaxing and enjoying a nice meal together. We would spend the day at the beach, come back, use the outdoor hot/cold shower, have dinner, then walk to either the jetty or the salt pond to watch the sunset. The outdoor hot/cold shower is great in the mornings too. It's also been a tradition of ours to head to foxwoods in the late evening.
4.0 / 5.0
Nice spot near the beach
The cottage was clean and functional, we enjoyed the deck and the outdoor shower very much. The location of the cottage was both a positive and a negative. On the positive side, it was very close to the boat launch and fishing area at the end of the road. We kayaked and clammed in the salt pond and had a great time. On the negative, there was a good amount of traffic going by to get to this state owned area. It even had some traffic at night. Positive -great area restaurants, close to Newport etc...Negative - you must drive or bike to get to a public beach. I wonder why this property doesn't come with some sort of beach pass that can be used at the private beaches that are within walking distance - this was a little frustrating. All in all, we had a nice time, great weather and a lot of fun doing relaxing activities.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location and perfect vacation cottage!
This will be our 8th summer renting this property and we love it! The location is great for kayaking, boating, fishing, and clamming with Quonny Pond only steps away and sun bathing and swimming on West Beach, East Beach, Blue Shutters, etc minutes away!!! The bedrooms and bath are small but very accommodating and the cottage has all the necessary appliances to feel like home!
5.0 / 5.0
Sunny & Super Convenient to Beach & Boa Launch
Couldn't be more convenient. Walking across the street to the Beach every day, and lounging on the back porch was a Dream. All the amenities I could need. Beautiful sunset views. Love the outdoor hot water shower too.
