Atmosphere: This cottage is not luxurious- it is well loved. It is a rustic cottage near everything that my family has used for years as a flop house going to and returning from the beach. It has all of the of the original wood cabinetry and charm of a new England cottage in a coastal town. This is the kind of place my family likes to say 'its 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. Each room comes with a fan, Single rooms have air conditioning units. We make fires in the fireplace on chilly Spring/Fall nights. We hope you enjoy and love it as much as we have.

There was plenty of room for my whole family to stay here comfortably, my 5 year old sister especially loved all the space to run around! Very well stocked with extra toiletries, spices, towels, sheets, etc. Would recommend to visiting families.

Owner's Response:

Thanks Ally! We hope to see you again! Anne

Great space, location, and host; needed cleaning inside

The good: we were very happy to find this little house for a relatively reasonable rate given the area of Watch Hill. The back deck was great and we wish we could've enjoyed it more with the great weather! The host was very responsive and accommodated our schedule.

Inside there were some issues. The upstairs looked as if it had not been cleaned properly; there was hair of many kinds on the floors, mattresses, and pillows as well as the presumably washed sheets folded at the end of the beds. Downstairs, there was a large (2x3ft) wet area of carpet in the hallway behind the first floor bathroom, soggy enough to make an audible squish when walking over it. This may have been the reason for the mold/must smell throughout the home. The towels available in the linen closet were damp and needed a wash and dry before use.

Overall, we would not stay here again given the current issues listed. However, the location, living spaces, and outdoor area are great perks and would be worth returning to if said issues were remedied.

Owner's Response:

Hi Daniel- I am sorry to hear that you had a bad stay for your weekend. We were here with the cleaning crew the day you arrived and a bucket of water was spilled on the carpet in the hall. We did our best to dry it but apparently not enough before your early arrival. I can assure you the rest of the house and towels were cleaned. Hopefully, we will see you again so that you can see (from other reviews) that your negative review is an exception, not the norm. We have rented for over 13 years and never had the problems you listed and will be sure to note your comments and assure there is no issue. Anne

We loved having the beach pass to Westerly beach. This is probably the nicest section of Misquamicut beach and the easy parking, bathhouse and snack bar were really nice and new.

Being an older home,it was fun finding our way from room to room until we got used to it.

We liked the spacious parking and back yard. The rear covered deck was nice. When we were there, the resident bird family was just having the chicks fledge,so that was fun to watch.

Over all,this is a good value for a family vacation.

Great beach week

Hot and humid week, but hanging by the beach everyday made it bearable and fun. The water was the perfect temperature and except for Friday and Sunday, mostly uncrowded. Boogie boarding is a must!

The house suited our family with plenty of room to spread out. The ping pong table and board games were a big hit. We thoroughly enjoyed the week.

Another great week!

This house is the perfect location for enjoying everything in Westerly: beaches, shops, restaurants...

This is the 4th summer we’ve stayed here. It’s beautiful, tidy, comfortable, and convenient. We especially like the back porch for enjoying coffee on a quiet morning and dinners after the beach. Thank you!
