Travel 30 minutes North up route 1A to tour the fishing villages of Galilee, Point Judith, and more. 1 1/2 hours to the heart of Boston. 3 hours to New York City. 20 minutes away catch the ferry in New London CT to famous Block Island or travel farther to Martha's Vineyard- all close enough for a day trip.
Atmosphere: This cottage is not luxurious- it is well-loved. It is a rustic cape cottage near everything that families have used for years as a flophouse going to and returning from the beach. It has all of the original wood cabinetry and charm of a New England cottage in a coastal town. Second bathroom in basement is rustic and intended for washing sand off from the beach.
This is the kind of place my family likes to say 'it's 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. Bedroom rooms have air conditioning units. We hope you enjoy and love it as much as we have.

This cottage is absolutely adorable. It’s kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’d need for a stay. We cooked all of our meals here. We loved cooking dinner in and then going down to St Clair for an ice cream cone to watch the sunset over the bay and then taking a little night walk on East beach. Temps were in the high 70s all week and the house was very cool and comfortable. I’m very high maintenance but found the window air conditioners in all bedrooms to be more than ample. The house is in a quiet area that feels quite safe, very close to Stop N Shop. We spent one rainy day in Mystic Ct at the aquarium which did not disappoint. The home was very clean with no offensive odors or areas. We used the basement bathroom as a clean off from the beach and had no issues. The house has much of its original features which I found to be so refreshing and charming. I am desperate to get back to this house next summer. It was positively perfect, as was the beach pass. Anne was most hospitable. Loved this house so so so much.
The first and second floors were fine, but the basement where the 2nd bathroom is was very dingy and musty smelling. We had great difficulty with the outside doors not opening/locking correctly. One of us got locked out. After back and forth messages and calls, the problem was not remedied so we reached agreement to leave 3 days into our 8 day planned stay. While the property owner was cooperative in refunding her portion, we have had great difficulty with VRBO in refunding their portion and the state taxes. I have been on the phone with them 3 times totaling over 1 1/2 hours with still no resolution.
Wonderful stay!
This is a lovely house in Westerly. It's well equipped and has lots of space to enjoy. Beautiful gardens front and back and a nice porch. We had a very enjoyable time. It's got all you need, great laundry room and spacious kitchen. No dishwasher as stated, which was not a problem for us. Bathrooms were functional and the downstairs one worked well for post beach showers.
I loved the creeks, smells, feel of the house, and even the creepy (as my wife put it) basement; it reminded me of when I would visit the New England area when I was a kid. We cooked several meals and were happy with the kitchen supplies. Plenty of room to stretch out.
It was very nice but some things were a bit misrepresented. There was only a/c in bedrooms. The house was also very old. The host communicated immediately and I appreciated that.
This lovely, comfortable house was a wonderful place for our stay in Westerly. Its spaciousness was most welcomed for our family of four, especially when one wanted to nap while the others played. The location was in close proximity to beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, town center, etc.. It was also equipped with pretty much everything you could need for a vacation home. We especially enjoyed the back porch both as a place to do some light business work and a place for meals throughout the day. Anne, the owner, was easy to reach and very accommodating. Thank you so much!
We were a group of 5 friends in town for the weekend and can’t say enough about how great the location is. You are within 5-10 minutes of the grocery store, beach, Watch Hill, and downtown Westerly. The house was very clean with tons of space, and we spent most of the time on the back porch which was lovely. The kitchen was well stoked with all of the essentials. Just like the reviews say, the house is not luxury but has everything you need. Our host Anne was very responsive and flexible for our needs - thank you!
We had a wonderful stay and the house was just as described. Cozy, homey, bit dated. We loved the patio! Anne, the owner, was so quick to respond with any questions. The house was in the perfect location for us right in between the beach and downtown …and took advantage of both! Also made a couple trips down to Mystic. We would absolutely stay again.
Great stay in a wonderful house.
