Waterfront Portsmouth Cottage: 8 Mi. From Newport!

This little cottage was ideal for us! We wanted a place close enough to Newport that we could visit the mansions several times, which we did. We were pleased to find that it is located in a beautiful location and there are several restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The host was also responsive and so helpful. We've stayed in many rentals all over the country and this one had the best towels, so fluffy. But the BEST part - the view! We spent many relaxing hours watching the birds, the boats, the rising moon. Even on a rainy day, it was beautiful. All in all, a perfect stay.

Terrific location, just as expected. Website photos need to be updated to match current furnishings and density of placement.Washer/dryer is a plus.3 suggestions: Screens needed for the huge sliding windows facing the water (who doesn't want to hear the water lapping up on the shore?), Shaker pegs or similar for the bunk room for hanging clothes, and a table for eating on the patio. The patio is filled with cushioned and heavy pieces, with a wonderful gas grill and no place to eat outdoors. Gone are the plastic Adirondack chairs (in the photo) that we were hoping to move down to the shoreline to sit at the waterfront.Cottage size was fine for 2 people (2 adult single friends). Overall I think the owners and property managers are doing a good job with this property and it is ideal for a young family with small children.

This is a gorgeous little cottage right on the water with magnificent views. It was perfectly equipped for our remote work trip, very comfortable, and it had to be the cleanest place I'd ever stayed at. The property manager was in touch with us to make sure we got in OK, and let us know that the place was ready if we wanted to check in early. We had no issues for this stay - they were very responsive when we messaged to ask about closing procedures. We will definitely stay again!

The cottage was lovely! We were in Newport for the jazz festival. Good location, access to stores and services. Would definitely stay again. Nice neighborhood!

Property was acquaint little home perfect for our family of four right on the water. Beautiful morning, sunrises all around a great stay!

My stay in Portsmouth in the cottage was wonderful. Cottage was clean and warm well lit and the view was magnificent. I would definitely come back in September or October so that I could use the kayak. The cottage is also very close to Newport so the drive to Newport was very easy. I have only good things to say about the cottage

This cottage was perfect for our weekend R&R. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was clean and as neat and cozy as in the pictures. The check in process was easy and our hosts Liz & Andy made the place very welcoming with some local products. The location was great - a short drive to Newport and many nice area restaurants. We look forward to returning to Serendipity in the future.

We stayed for the weekend and just enjoyed the sound of the water and the peace and quiet. The host was very thoughtful.

This cottage was perfect. A beautiful view, close to Newport with a very nice Food Market and Coffee Shop nearby. Very quiet, in nice neighborhood. Would highly recommend it.

Clean and comfortable accommodations. Perfect place for our style of relaxed vacationing. Quiet neighborhood with fabulous view of the river.

Nothing but positives to say about this place. It's a bit smaller than the pictures make it look, but just perfect for a waterfront stay. The property manager was highly communicative, and everything went smoothly. Many little touches, like a gift card for local coffee place and a paddleboard and kayak available for use. The only complaint we had was a bit of bad weather!

Really enjoyed our stay here with my wife, son and his girlfriend. Property is right on the water so the view is really really nice. There is a kayak that we each took out in the water so that was good fun. The property is small but perfect size for 4 people as it has two bedrooms. One room has bunk beds and the other has a standard big bed - can’t remember if it was King or queen. The unit has a stackable washer and dryer so we used that which cut down on packing. There was also a couple of folding chairs that we used to go see a 4th of July parade. The kitchen was nice. We didn’t really cook but used dishes for breakfast and lunch. There is a microwave. Nice TV in the living room with lots of channels. Wifi worked great. The owner was very responsive with any questions we had. Really nice place. I would definitely consider renting agin if we come back to this area.

A great spot for two or four. Nice property and great view. The thriving tree house coffee is a must go. The muffins are excellent and the sitting lawns are charming. Also go visit the Little Compton beach.

We stayed 2 nights in June, and we wish our vacation schedule had allowed for longer! The views are gorgeous. The cottage is small, but well equipped, very comfortable, well decorated, and was perfect for the four of us! My son really enjoyed using the paddleboard, and we all enjoyed watching the ospreys dive for fish. Sachuest Point nearby had some great hiking trails and lovely beach! Highly recommend!

This Portsmouth cottage fulfilled all our expectations. This was our first trip to New England coast & we couldn't have picked a more perfect rental. Cottage was clean, great seaside location (easily visited Newport, Providence and New Bedford, MA), well equipped, and cozy. View is wonderful; sunrise magical. Beds comfortable, water pressure great. Instructions clear and communication with hosts smooth. Fresh flowers and wine on arrival very nice touch! We'd love to return.
