Ocean View Matunuck Home - Go to Water, Go to the Village!

Our second year staying here and it couldn’t have been any more perfect. The cottage offers all you need. I love how peaceful the area is, the only thing between the cottage and the ocean is a field of Queen Anne’s lace! Matunuck is a special place and we are grateful to get to stay in this cottage and make the best family memories. It is clean, more than enough room for my extended family to sleep, laundry and a full kitchen and a grill. We can’t wait to come back next year!

This property is perfect if you want to walk to the beach and are able to see the ocean from the front porch. Plenty of room to cook, eat and enjoy each other. With 2 bathrooms it was perfect for our large family. I had my WHOLE family there. It was perfect. The property is exactly as described. Host responded to any questions I had asked. I can’t wait to come back next year.

We have previously stayed here for several years. I am happy to continue to be able to go! The house was what I remembered and was perfect for the needs of my family.

Pros: 1. Location was awesome. Short walk to beach, market, ice cream stand 2. Beach passes, beach chairs and sand castles toys provided 3. Large dining and family room. Ample room for the whole family 4. Plenty of cooking supplies Cons: 1. Linens need to be provided being that we were traveling from Missouri. It’s not like we can pack bedding and bath towels for 4 beds and 5 adults. 2. One fan wasn’t working in one of the rooms Overall, the home was great and was once very lovely. Lots of hard wood and big windows. Could use some upgrades, especially air conditioning. Mostly to fight off the humidity, so a few window units would be great. But generally the weather was pleasant in early July, any months later it may be too hot for some. The owner was very responsive to any questions. We would rent this home again

Ok, so the location and views are fantastic but the home leaves a lot to be desired. First: No sheets or towels?? Don’t fly in and expect to stay here…its dumb. The place is not in great shape. dining room chairs are broken, the stove is DISGUSTING ( all we did was boil water it was so bad). There were ROACHES in the bathroom, roach/ant traps all over the house, the fridge had a bunch of open beer cans inside, the freezer leaks all over the floor, the garage is full of junk (we had to go in to get the gas grill) there was mold all over the shower curtain, half the inside all of teh outside lights don’t work, inside of the drawers were not clean, washer and dryer were filled with half washed towels, the mattresses are Salvation Army leftovers, there are broken tiles in the kitchen, the screen doors and windows don’t all work and the front/outside of the property is a mess with old wood and junk lying around including old boxes. The worst part is that there is no air conditioning. This would be OK as it is near the beach and the breeze blows at the house, but the bedrooms have no cross ventilation and tiny windows. There are box fans but they can’t keep the place cool. At night you sweat to death. Its unbearable at times. We had a great time, but that was because we didn’t spend much time in the house. Its location almost makes up for it. If you rent this place be sure you know what you are getting into…great party house. No worries if you mess it up. It already is.

Nice house great neighborhood beautiful beach

The house offers a great location with views of block island sound and south Kingston town beach. This was our third stay and we always enjoy the area and easy walk to the beach. The house itself could use some updates and the furniture is dated and consists of folding chairs for the dining room table. Overall we know what we’re getting into and enjoy the area but a little upgrades would make it a whole lot more comfortable.

VRBO RENTER BEWARE! This house pictured below near the beach in Matunuck, RI is not as it is described on the VRBO website. We rented for a month this July-August for a great deal of money and found it had NO air conditioning in one of RI hottest summers on record! The house thermostat registered most days and nights over 80 degrees and had only one ceiling fan in the living room and only 3 filthy box fans for the entire three-bedroom house. Plus, discovered the rental did NOT include linens at all! The dishwasher did not work nor did garbage disposal! Plus, the Jenn-aire cook top appeared to never have been cleaned! VRBO admitted to us that there were two previous renters who have filed reports about this house not being what the owners claim it is! VRBO promised us a partial refund of our payment over week ago and as of now that has not occurred. My advice is DO NOT RENT from VRBO or rent this house.

Numerous things need attention in the house: 1. Leaking toilet upstairs. We’ve been placing towels on the floor to sop up the wetness. Disgusting! 2. Shower head holder was cracked and we now have it rigged up with rubber bands. Needs a new holder installed. 3. The backs of and the wheels on the dining chairs are falling off. Tried to repair them but the screws are stripped. 4. The bedroom that was advertised with bunk beds now only has one bed. We were counting on that additional bed space. Had to have people sleeping elsewhere and changed our entire arrangements (boys/girls) 5. The small kitchen sink is clogged. Tried Drano process twice. Still clogged. 6. Upstairs shower light fixture not working. Another bulb Above vanity is blown out but could not easily remove old bulb with fear of it breaking off in the socket. Other set of lights above sink (on toilet wall) not working at all. 7. There is no ice maker except for old fashioned cube trays. It was advertised as having an ice maker. 8. Only one garbage tote and 1 recycle tote does not cover it for nine person household. The house is clearly a rental income only, with owner not giving any attention to the upkeep of this house. For the money, would expect things to be in working order. Renters beware! I

The location of this property is perfect!! The layout of the house worked very well for my family. Communication with host was minimal, very little information about check in. Furniture on the deck was limited to a picnic table as the other pieces were broken. Appliances in working order, definitely outdated. All things considered, I would return!!!
