Step back in time to a tranquil beach community with a charming two-bedroom cottage. This beach cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, and a wraparound deck with a screened-in porch. The house has new air conditioning throughout for your comfort. A sunny light bathroom and a large outdoor shower.

Located in a peaceful neighborhood, the cottage is conveniently situated across the street from a saltwater pond ideal for kayaking and canoeing. Just down the street, you’ll find a boat launch and a “kiddie” beach. You can easily walk, bike, or drive less than one mile to miles of beautiful ocean beach. The cottage also comes with a parking pass for the local beach lots and is dog-friendly.

The cottage sits on a landscaped corner lot with fantastic views of the pond. Enjoy watching the sunrise over the water with a cup of coffee in the kitchen or on the screened-in porch. The nearby lot is perfect for launching kayaks or canoes, and you can bring chairs to relax by the water with a book or snack.

For outdoor enthusiasts, this location is ideal for kayaking, birdwatching, and hiking. The local Green Hill and Ninigret salt ponds are ideal for exploring, swimming, and birdwatching. It's just a quick bike ride to Trustom Pond or Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge for birdwatching and to Charlestown Breachway for fishing. The Kayak Centre offers rentals, tours, and guided services. There are excellent biking options, including a bike path that's ideal for rollerblading and wide-open neighborhood streets.

In the local area, you'll find a neighborhood bakery with excellent coffee, an ice cream shop, and many casual dining options, all within a mile's bike ride or a short car ride. There's also a farmers' market featuring local produce and handmade items, a weekly antique market with vendors from throughout New England, and a nearby mini golf course. The community boasts a vibrant and welcoming cultural scene, including local galleries, the Courthouse Center for the Arts, and Theatre by the Sea.

    Tidy house. Great location. Responsive owner. Would give 5 stars but the carpets and couch were stained and the mattress cover was dirty.

    Anita’s place was great. Beautiful views and a great location. Close to beaches, restaurants, ice cream, coffee and smaller shops. I was with my wife, two daughters and two dogs. We’d come back in a minute!!!

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! The screened-in porch was a definite highlight. When we managed to pull ourselves away from the great views, we loved how close the beach and nearby attractions were. Anita was incredibly responsive and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience!

    Perfect location, beautiful view. Perfect property for our relaxing family vacation. My kids loved the walkable kiddie beach and direct pond access area. The half screened in porch was ideal. The included town beach parking pass is fantastic.

    That booking and check-in process were simple. The property and host had good ratings and reviews so I had high hopes. We had flown all day and arrived about 6:00 PM. Upon arrival we found there were no linens at the property (something I could find no mention of in the original posting). I did find in the arrival instructions buried 3 links deep that linens are provided by the quest (but I’m assuming now that they meant guest). So we had to go out and purchase sheets and towels that evening, and make beds before we could get settled in. I was shocked by this situation. I’ve used many vacation rentals and never consider I’d have to pack my own linens clear across the county. I try to reach the host and didn’t get a call back for several hours. In addition there was dog hair on the furniture and some of the blankets in the property. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable as well. And the last big shock was the checkout cleaning list. Typically the checkout list in properties included basics like running the dishwasher, striping beds, and emoting trash. The list at this property includes sweeping vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, putting the trash out to the curb during the stay and taking additional trash with you when you leave, and much more. I was on vacation not at a job as a cleaning service, and this list was ridiculous. Despite past reviews, I would not recommend this property or this host. I was very disappointed in my experience.

    The screened porch makes this cottage! Along with the view! Quiet neighborhood. Cute cottage with brand new bath & updated kitchen. Plenty of seating indoors & outside. So many beaches close by - and more about 15 or 20 minutes away. Would stay here again!

    Loved everything about it. Screened-in porch and deck to enjoy sunrises , the sound of the ocean and afternoon breezes. Cottage was just as described and clear communication with Anita. Can’t wait to go back next year!

    A lovely little cottage which has everything you could need. There is no a/c but there are window fans which help on warmer evenings. The screened porch overlooking Green Hill pond, the proximity to the beach, the cool outdoor shower all added to our relaxing and enjoyable stay. Bring your kayak or paddle board!

    Exactly as described. I agree with all positive reviews posted. Neighborhood is a mix of permanent residents and vacation homes. Felt welcomed among all. Great location for exploring the Ocean State. Appreciate the affordability of the rental, too. Cleaning is required, which keeps the rate down. We found it clean; We left it clean; All was great. The only caution is that you must be able to walk upstairs to second level to enter/exit. We are very glad to have found this cottage and are grateful for the experience.
