well situated, quite, easy parking and access, friendly neighbors, 5 minutes by car from the village

This little gem was perfect for my wife and me. It was exactly as advertised - Not a huge house but very well stocked, comfortable, in a quiet area but only a short drive to all types of activities. Only minutes from Narragansett and Newport. We had a great time wandering around Fort Wetherill State Park in Jamestown as well as the "downtown" area along Narragansett ave where there are plenty of nice places to eat. Another day we took a trip into Newport to do the Cliff Walk. Here is a great tip...Park at the Newport Transportation and visitor's Centre. The city trolleys are free during the summer and the driver will give you a voucher that will lower the parking to $5.00. If the driver has none, go in the visitors centre and ask for one. Host Marty was an absolute joy to deal with. All our questions were answered promptly and accurately. He even provided a big bag of ice in the freezer so we could enjoy a nice cold beverage after a long drive to Rhode Island. The front and back decks are spacious and great for relaxing with a morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks, Marty!

Was true to site listing and an easy ride to the bridge off island. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the side chair in living room and add an ottoman. Appreciated the savings offered by bringing own sheets and towels. Weather was not the best, but the cottage was cozy and dry. Would rent again!

I never leave reviews, but this place was so perfect for our cozy Fall girl's weekend that I couldn't resist! It's the perfect home base to get to Newport, and you are also close to Jamestown which has some great restaurants and views. The place was so clean and had everything we could need/want. You can't go wrong!

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The cottage was extremely clean and had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. The location was less than 10 mins to restaurants and points of interest. The drive to Newport was also 10 minutes away. I highly recommend the cottage and Marty’s hospitality and well thought out conveniences.

The cottage is lovely! It's easily accessible and a perfect location for either going to the waters edge of for a quick trip into town. Jamestown has some of the best restaurants in RI so you don't have to go far for a great meal. The cottage has an "Outdoor" shower, as well as an indoor shower, but the outdoor shower was our favorite.We had the best stay we have anywhere in a long time! We can't wait to go back next year!

This is our second time using this property and hope to use it again. That about says it all.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and located in the quiet community of Jamestown across from Newport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was nice to come "home" and relax after a busy day of activity. Jamestown was lovely.....even though one major restaurant had closed. Would highly recommend for the accomodations and location.

Beautiful cottage. Perfect for these two grandparents visiting their granda.

This cottage was a perfect spot with great amenities. Close to Newport and area beaches we wanted to visit. Charming cottage and the outside shower was great! We would go back.

We just returned from a week at The Cottage. To begin with, Marty was excellent to deal with, from the reservation, to the check in, to the stay, and even the departure. Simply a terrific host. The Cottage is as described....cute, cozy, indoor and outdoor living spaces, and only minutes to everything. Many of the reviews mention the outdoor shower; we (three adults) never used the indoor one! Part of the overall experience, and a lasting memory. The house is well equipped, as described. The three window A/C units did the job, even with a few hot and humid days. Marty gives you access to the garage, which was great to store our bikes. We loved every time we headed to town seeing the beauty of the Newport Bridge, and actually caught a full moon coming up UNDER the bridge as it rose. Amazing. I would say the only thing we could have used in the kitchen was that wasn't there was a large bowl for pasta and/or salad. We made do with using a pan instead. There was even a large vase, which came in handy as a visitor brought flowers. Finally, we only gave a 4 for location. Just know that it is on one of the main roads which was always busy, and during our week was extra loud as there were constant construction vehicles doing road paving. I have a feeling we will be back to The Cottage. Thanks Marty!

Very clean and a very convenient location. All the amenities you need for a vacation. Great outdoor shower, our personal favorite. Three small a/c units adequately cooled the cottage.

Perfect beach cottage. Marty is a great host.

We spent 6 weeks at Marty’s this Summer and had a wonderful time. House is clean and well appointed with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Outdoor shower and window A/C units in every room were perfect as it was a very hot Summer. Short ride or 20 min walk to town for coffee and breakfast, 5 mins to Newport and 15 mins to Narragansett. All of our meals at the house were out on the deck with the grill which was lovely. There’s also beach chairs which is super handy so you don’t have to bring your own. Marty was available at a moments notice for questions (even sailing recommendations!) and for a few small things that needed to be attended to at the house. Not a ton of indoor living space but was fine for 2 of us and any time we had friends or family to stay, we spent most of the time outside.

We loved our cozy Jamestown cottage. Clean, well appointed, comfortable beds in a great location!

Charming cottage in good location. Owner is easy to deal with. Place is clean and well supplied with essentials such as WD, BBQ grill and Outdoor shower !

Loved this cottage. So close to restaurants, shopping and the ferry which we took twice to Newport. So much better than driving across the bridge. "Downtown" Jamestown is so close that my husband actually walked into town every morning. Lots of room for two couples and the outdoor shower was wonderful. The front porch was great for having coffee in the morning and the back porch was nice for evening meals. It was super hot the week we were there so the window air conditioner was a life saver for sleeping at night in the master bedroom. The window a/c in the living room helped tremendously with the rest of the cottage. Thanks Martin for thinking of your renters. We would defintely return.

We enjoyed our stay in Jamestown and at the cottage. It was clean, comfortable and looked just as portrayed in picture. Enjoyed walking down the street to the water and some magnificent homes and a concert in Jamestown one evening, shopping and eating in local restaurants. Loved how close it was to Newport.

Every year, my mom and I choose a new getaway for a week vacation and like to stay in a cabin of cottage. This year we were exceptionally pleased with our choice. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and close to everything we wanted to explore yet quiet and private. We would highly recommend this cottage.

This worked out well for my elderly father who couldn't take the steps in our nearby house. This is a clean and well taken care of property. The owner was happy to answer my questions both before and during my father's stay. I recommend this property!

The cottage is a very well kept property. Immaculate interior with all the basics provided. Excellent intructions provided by Marty, the owner. The two of us spent 7 days over Thanksgiving and the location was excellent for all the visiting we did. Quiet and peaceful location.Very cozy and comfortable cottage. Newport is just minutes away. View of Newport Bridge and a short walk to the water's edge. Our two favorite Jamestown restaurants, Slice of Heaven and J22, did not disappoint! We highly recommend this Cottage! Hope to be back soon.

Everything was neat and clean. I had emailed the owner Marty so I knew what was supplied and what was not. Very cold last week but heating system was fine. Plenty of hot water. Used dishwasher once worked fine. Cooked nice meals for myself and my daughter saved money on restaurants. The only thing is the driveway, had few inches of snow and it was not easy scaling steep driveway. Other than that everything else was fine. Would stay there again.

Marty's cottage was in the perfect location for exploring Jamestown and Newport as well as many other places in New England. It had everything we needed for our week long stay.We even picked up fresh seafood at Anthony's in Middletown to cook for dinner one night along with steaks we prepared on the grill.The cottage was perfect for our two couple get away. Coffee on the front porch every morning was awesome too! Thanks Marty!

Fantastic stay at the cottage. Perfect location. Boston, Martha's Vineyard, Jamestown, Newport, we could have not asked for a more enjoyable vacation. Marty was quick to reply to our questions and gave us some suggestions regarding fun things to do in the area...

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage in Jamestown. We were working at the boat show all week so didn't have too much time to enjoy the deck, but the house was really clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics for cooking. Great to have a grill. The bath is very tiny but workable. All in all a great place to stay. Thanks Marty!

Fabulous stay in the adorable island cottage! Looking forward to staying again in the future.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at this comfortable home in a great location, close to everything. Nice restaurants including a cute little taco shack nearby. Went to Middletown one day and had a fun time at the Christmas Tree Shop. We liked being able to walk down a little road across the street to get to the water. Close to one of our favorite places, Beautiful Beaver Tail. We also thoroughly enjoyed the front porch and back deck at different times of day. We also appreciated the little things that we didn't think to bring like hand soap and dish towels. We can't wait to go back to Jamestown. Such a quaint, peaceful and friendly place. Thank you Marty!

We stayed here for a week and loved it. We used it as a base for day trips to Connecticut, Massachusetts and of course, Newport. It is very, very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, and although we did not do so, you could easily cook a large meal. It is very quiet and peaceful. The village offers some wonderful restaurants. We had the opportunity to meet Marty. He is terrific! We would love to come back and stay here again. This is a cozy place with lots of charm.

This little cottage is absolutely perfect!!!! We had everything we needed and so close to Newport and many other areas. WE really enjoyed it for the week and would highly recommend it to all. Thanks Marty for having such a great place!!!! We'd love to do it again soon...

My wife and I just finished our second stay at this cottage. The place is very functional and a great place to hang out and relax while being convenient to the center of Jamestown and Newport and all this area has to offer. We highly recommend staying here. The owner is very responsive and interested in making your stay comfortable. The cottage is perfectly sized for one or two couples or a couple with small children.

This was a wonderful cottage with a wonderful owner. Everything went perfectly, from arrival to departure. The accommodations were perfect for me, my husband and our two children and communication from the owner was excellent. The house was quite lovely and very well equipped. It was a lovely quiet area too and the kids even enjoyed playing outside with the fireflies in the evenings! Such a nice place to relax for the week. A special thanks to the owner for being so understanding when my husband's boss wouldn't let us leave on time. We know exactly where we will stay and where we will recommend others stay when in the Jamestown area!

My husband and I took this cottage for three weeks and were so very content there! Well appointed furniture; household set up well; clean; plenty of drawer storage. Marty was very helpful. Our favorites: outside shower, front porch, wooded side and back yard. Made us feel private, relaxed. Good location and not too busy of a street with easy access. Easy shopping in town for supplies. Our stay could not have been more perfect and we will return!
