Quaint Coastal Cottage with Patio!

Interior pictures of furnishings and description of property being walkable to the beach are very misleading. We founnd different fiurniture that were hard and uncomfortable. Beach not accessible by walking, have to drive for about 10 minutes, no beach parking pass. Property not maintained well, and the cottage was not vrry clean when we checked in.

First I’ll say that we have stayed in several places in Rhode Island and unfortunately our experience at this house wasn’t as positive as we had hoped.On the positive side, James was responsive and willing to come check on issues when we reached out. They left us a nice card to cover a day’s parking at a local beach. The back deck is great; we enjoyed grilling and dinner at the patio table. However, we were without hot water for two to three days. A few notes for future guests:The home is located in a low-lying part of the marina. This can cause some unpleasant odors in the area (not the fault of the home, but worth noting).The owner provided plenty of bottled water because the water from the faucets runs brown-yellow. We were told that it’s a regional issue and that the water is filtered, but it was still off-putting. The filtration system itself is super loud, kicking on whenever water is used and randomly — including at night.Cooling is a challenge. The single AC unit isn’t strong enough to cool the main living area or the back bedrooms with sub-80-degree weather, and with several windows painted shut, it was difficult to get good airflow.Cleanliness needs to be improved. We noticed spider webs, dust, and had to rewash dishes and utensils before using them. Beside the fridge and under the beds haven’t been cleaned in some time. The vacuum provided didn’t work, which made upkeep during our stay difficult.Lastly, a personal note we wish there were more comfortable seats for the five people the house accommodates. While there were some positives — mainly James’ responsiveness — overall, the home needs maintenance and cleaning to make it more comfortable for guests.

Fantastic time in our favorite place. Was not sure about lack of private beach access but Blue Shutters is super close and convenient. Owners could not have made the arrival process more hospitable and friendly and the house is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend as an affordable option in West Beach.

Great spot had a wonderful time

My husband and I have been going to Quonnie for many years. The cottage we rented sold and this was a perfect replacement. Fresh water was provided for drinking and cooking. Jim was very responsive to any questions I had. We will definitely be returning next year!

20th year at Quonnie, was grateful to be able to book after prior accommodations fell through. Great space.

We enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed. Nice location. Very close to a few different beaches and fun places to explore. The outdoor shower was a hit with my teenage grandkids! Thank you to the owners for the nice welcoming card. We very much appreciated.

This property is exactly as described in the listing. There is no ocean beach access, but it’s close enough to hear the surf. The Quonnie breachway, dock, and Quonnie pond are within easy walking distance. The kitchen is well-equipped and the deck out back was delightful for a cookout. The home is very neat and clean, a typical Rhode Island beach house. The owners were kind enough to return to us a small item that we left behind! We highly recommend this listing. It was perfect for us.

This cottage was exactly what it was advertised! It was quaint, cozy and absolutely lovely! The location was perfect for a quiet and peaceful stay! We met the owners who were very nice and very responsive my questions. This cottage is a gem!

Enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Had all the amenities one would need. Back deck was perfect for sunsets, and outdoor dining. Close proximity to beaches and of course fishing in the breachway and walks. Would look to rebook in the future.

The home was very nice and the location was great! Had an awesome time despite the weather!
