Our 1st time in RI and we will be back. This little cottage was the perfect spot. A beautiful and convenient area. We explored URI and Newport. I was happy I got to meet the owners. They made us feel welcomed. Thank for sharing your place with us.

Great beach location
We had a short stay, only two nights but we really enjoyed the community and proximity to the beach. The house is very cozy and was perfect for our needs. It is close to a lot of historical sites and walking trails and we loved just walking through the neighborhoods looking at the beautiful properties and beach views.

There were just 2 of us who stayed at the propery, and it was perfect for us. Nothing fancy, but very cute. Close to Route 1 for getting around and it had all the little necessities. Check in and out was easy. Communication was excellent. Wouldefinitely stay again.

Everything was wonderful. The weather could have cooperated a bit more! Remember it gets very windy by the water! Hoodies were a requirement, but that didn’t deter our enjoyment!

Great location, but not for tall people!
The property was small, but well kept and tidy. We met the owner in passing and he was super kind and welcoming. He communicated that the fire pit had broken prior to our arrival and he replaced it promptly. And the beach is literally steps away!! The only downside is that my husband is 6’ 4” and bumped his head several times on the light and door frames. We were there less than 48 hours so it was doable, but he wouldn’t have lasted a week. I’m much shorter and had no issues. Outside of the property… our guest rep sent a very inappropriate text that she explained away, but made me feel less than comfortable reaching out again. It was a small thing but soured the experience a bit.

Perfect Weekend
Wonderful stay at a great property. Location could not be better — walked to beaches, restaurants, coffee shop, surf shop. The house is very cute and has everything you need. Waking up to the sound of the ocean — what could be better? Property manager was very helpful and responsive to questions. 2nd time staying here; looking forward to coming back for a 3rd visit!

August rental
We had great communication with the property manager with succinct check in details and responsiveness with a few initial concerns. the beach was a beautiful spot and we were close to Narragansett and its attractions. Unfortunately, we did leave this rental early due to our experience with the property itself. We found the couch to be tired and dirty. Ripped weather stripping on door allow bugs to come in. Dirty finger prints on high touch areas of doors. One A/C window unit for the cottage with black moldy material in the vents. Other concerns were minor but numerous. Lots of great potential for this location but fell short for us.

Summer getaway before college
Nice little cottage steps to private beach. Well maintained cottage, easy to communicate with owners who were very helpful. Lots of towels, blankets and amply supplied kitchen. Manatuck is a great little town and there are restaurants, shops a coffee place and an ice cream shop all within walking distance from the cottage. We had a very nice week with our daughters making memories.

Obviously a beautiful location in Matunuck. The house was smaller than anticipated but served us well. My only criticism is that the kitchen really isn't conducive to cooking - super small, no oven, and not very well-stocked. Everything else was great!
