Lovely view, quiet location in a nice neighborhood. House was clean and beds were comfy. Large yard for furry friends or kids with access to the water but it wasn’t easy to navigate on the rocks on the beach to get onto the water. Kitchen had ample supplies of dishes, glasses and cookware. Close to great places to eat ant meal.

This is a classic Rhode Island cottage with an amazing property right on the Narragansett Bay with great views and access to the water. We enjoyed our stay!

Great property for a small family, and even welcomed our dogs! Right on the water. We swam from the rocky beach every day. Spacious backyard for games or just relaxing. Lovely view from the handy outdoor shower. Not too far from Newport, but felt a world away in this quiet neighborhood. Good AC in the main bedroom. The rest of the house got warm in the hot afternoons, but a quick dip in the bay cooled everyone down for the gorgeous sunsets. Owners were easy to work with and responded to questions promptly. A great stay!

Agree with the earlier reviews. We very much enjoyed our stay! The view is spectacular and the sunsets across the bay were incredible. We loved the outdoor shower. Well-stocked kitchen. The cottage does not have a washing machine, but we found a laundromat without difficulty. All kinds of sailboats, yachts, and ships can be seen going up and down the bay. Good restaurant options in Portsmouth and nearby towns. A memorable trip!

Many good things about this little vacation cottage right on the bay: A wall of double-hung windows facing the bay for spectacular views during sunset (and all day). Perfect for letting fresh air in on clear days. Fantastic view. Lawn facing the bay and a little New England beach of stones to explore the tiny crabs, periwinkles and other sea life that come and go with the tides. A local kayak rental that is about 3 minutes away and will deliver to the property if you don't have a way to get their kayaks. Drop-In Kayak rental. Recommended. Walkable backroads for people and dogs. Friendly neighborhood, overall. There's a fantastic brewery (Ragged Island Brewing Co.) a mile or two away--possibly walkable, but a very short drive or uber ride away. Overall, this is a little cottage that seems to have been in a family for a while that is rented out on VRBO when family isn't using it. It isn't fancy, but very comfortable place to spend a week as a launching pad for Newport and surrounding areas. It was a great place to vacation with our dog, with a nice deck, lawn and beach. Grateful to have been able to bring him on this trip and was a big part of why we rented this particular place at this price. Some other things that weren't great for us, but might not be a problem for other people: We went around July 4 weekend and there were two nights of fireworks that made us feel like we were in a war zone. Apparently this is a thing on the bay and we didn't know about it. Small scale fireworks, smoke and so much noise for about an hour and a half / two hours after sunset. All meaning the windows had to be closed and the AC on, but wow. Renters with dogs and babies should note this around holidays. The description says the location is 'secluded'--this is true in that it isn't on the nearby highway, but it is definitely in a residential neighborhood with houses right next to the rental property. This meant that when the landscapers showed up to cut the grass and trim privet hedges for the better part of a day on the left, there was no way of getting away from that when outside. On the right side the neighbors had demolition and construction activities on one of their buildings for a few days, so there's that. I think 'secluded' isn't really a good description of the property. If you bring kids, bring some extra dice for the games in the house--Yahtzee with three dice! No laundry. Laundromat about 20 mins away. No linens. In prop description, but worth noting

I guess we love it here, just finished our 4th stay and will be back next year!

My family and I just LOVED this property. We basically had a private beach all week - be sure to bring water shoes! This house is on a lovely dead end st. It is a perfect summer get away! Super clean and the view cannot be beat!

The view from just about everywhere in this cottage is incredible. We are seniors and my husband has mobility issues but he had the best week ever just sitting and watching the bay, enjoying the sounds of the boats and fog horn and smell of the salty air. The cottage in modest but very clean and serviceable. We loved our stay.

property was older but well kept Was very appropriate for the location, added a 50's /60's thought I was back in time in a good way.

We were SO happy to find this gem in Portsmouth, RI. The house is right on the water with beautiful views out over the Narragansett affording peaceful days looking out at Prudence Island, boats sailing by, and the water lapping at the shore. The neighborhood is a small quiet oasis near anything you might want to see and do--beaches, quaint historic towns, nature preserves, and heritage farms. Everything you need is at the house, comfortable and no nonsense. It would have been great to have a kayak or SUP but the view and the ability to swim right out the back door made up for it in spades. September in southern New England by the seashore...it doesn't get better than that.

Exactly what we expected and then some. Perfect location. Amazing views with everchanging sunsets. Could not have asked for better anything. Happy Happy!

This property was exactly as described. It was very clean upon arrival. The home and location is incredibly beautiful and a wonderful location right on the water. It was so peaceful and provided a great getaway. The sound of the waves was like having a real life sound machine. The neighborhood was very quiet and close by were fantastic restaurants (including many take-away). We couldn't have asked for a better trip.

Great place to get away......always a plus when our pup can stay too!

This is an amazing location right on the water! The beach is very rocky, so be sure to bring water shoes. There is a lot of wildlife to watch (crabs, birds, etc.). The house is great too! Very cozy and cute.

We loved being right on the water for the views and swimming daily. You are just a short trip from grocery stores, restaurants, gas station, etc. This place was extremely clean and well kept. It is basic and cozy and has everything you need. You can be in downtown Newport in 20 minutes. The neighborhood is quiet and charming. My 4 children and I enjoyed it vey much. I would definitely go back again.

This beach cottage was amazing. No hotel feel, just a home on the water. I look forward to coming back again.

This home was perfect for our family of 4! The house has This was a perfect home for our family. It had everything you could need and the outside shower was beautiful. It's on a quiet dead end street and we took our dogs daily for walks. The absolute Best part was the view of the bay and the backyard. We sat for hours listening to the bay, reading, napping and soaking up the sun. The sunsets were magnificent. I cannot say enough about the beauty of this setting. It's a short 25 min ride to Newport. We hope to return next summer. This home was a winner for our family.

What a great place to past the time, and watch the world go by. Awesome view 24/7. Great Sunsets. Great Sounds. Great smells. Read a book, drink a cocktail, play a game, whatever. Just be happy to be here. Simply a great and cozy spot.

The most beautiful view of any home we have stayed. Such a relaxing retreat. The cottage is very dated but charming.

We were delighted with the accommodations, the location, and the nearby towns and places to visit for the first week of September. The only disappointment was the lack of stairs from the lawn to the beach. At my age, now 84, it was deemed unsafe to go over the large boulder rocks leading down to the beach. I did not want to intrude on the neighboring cottages wooden stairs with railings to hold onto, so my wife and were unable to walk along the shore front.

Had a wonderful time, nice that there's plenty of huge windows so you could see the view without being outside, as it was late October. Had everything we needed and great area to walk our dog. Would love to come back in warmer weather.

So simple..... everything about renting this adorable seaside retreat was easy. Once you are there you do not want to leave.... our kids wanted to sight see and go places and my husband and I just wanted to never leave this wonderful cottage on the sea. Pictures can do no justice to the tranquility and beauty of this little piece of heaven in Rhode Island. We loved opening the windows out front and listening to the ocean waves in the evening and watching all the boats and fishermen come through during the day. Thank you so much for allowing our family to enjoy your gem in Portsmouth. We will be back, but until we meet again Baker Road........

Thank you so much for a relaxing, family vacation at your cottage. We enjoyed the views all day and evening and found ourselves simply staying put as it was so peaceful. We love RI and enjoyed this newly discovered hamlet.

This house has a great vibe. Portsmouth is so laid back yet close to the action. Thanks very much to the owners for excellent response all through the process. 5+++++

Adorable cottage with amazing water view and acess.

My daughter, granddaughter, her friend, our two dogs, and I enjoyed staying here. The view of the bay was so beautiful and relaxing. The girls and dogs loved swimming. My daughter had a great time collecting shells and sea glass. She made some beautiful pendants and a tapestry. We spent some time in Newport, but we actually preferred Portsmouth, Bristol, Warrenton, and other less crowded places. Thanks for a great vacation.

Cute secluded cottage but just 10 minutes from modern conveniences. Great sunsets.

We have rented this cottage six times and always look forward to returning as we enjoy our time there immensely. For us it has the four essentials of a great summer rental: 1. A superb waterfront location with a magnificent view of Narragansett Bay 2. Well-appointed with everything you need for your stay 3. Engaged and attentive owners who want to make sure your holiday goes well 4. Dog friendly so we can bring our well-behaved dog along to enjoy the vacation. We find the cottage’s location very good for visiting Newport or Providence or South County – however with its wonderful view and relaxing vibe there are many days when we just don’t want to go anywhere. We highly recommend this property.

We have stayed at this cottage on and off since 2009. Every time we return, we are reminded why it is still our favorite vacation spot. We love the simplicity, but it lacks nothing, and the views are spectacular! There have been recent updates as well which is an added bonus. This cottage is perfect for families, a girlfriends getaway, couples and is the ideal spot to catch up on your reading. In my mind, I think of this as the perfect writers' cottage. We try to return every year and cherish it every time we do. The owners are so kind and accommodating. I've never had an issue arise while vacationing here, but I am sure if I did, it would be handled in a timely manner. I highly recommend this lovely gem on the bay. Kelly F. Lexington, MA
