Walk to Pawcatuck River: Family-Friendly Home!

Clean, new accommodations. Close to the marina waterfront and a small park/nature preserve. A few miles from downtown. We loved our dinner at Owl and Dove. Bunk beds in one bedroom are limited to kids under 100 lbs on the top bunk and 120 lbs on the bottom bunk.

The house was clean and comfortable. Very lovely and better than the description. It had all of the amenities. In addition, it was convenient to the RI beaches and restaurants. I would definitely recommend it.

Great, adorable house for family visitors. Perfect location!!

This is a clean, nicely furnished house in a residential area. However, we would knock off three stars in rating it - One for sleight-of-hand sales, one for cost and one for the bare-bones amenities. First, Saul the owner, never claims clearly that the house is on the water. But his VRBO listing displays a sign (Stonington Dockominiums), lists “the river“ as an amenity, and winds up with a shoreline photo captioned, “the water calls”! If so, it will really have to yell. Fact is, the house is on a hill three football fields from the marina and river. The property has no river access. The Stonington Dockominium boat club owns the waterfront. When we ventured onto their docks, we were shooed away in the name of “liability.“ If you are enticed by the rental rate advertised, be aware of the extras that will pile up. VRBO won't lt revierers cite specific prices, so I can only say that after we clicked on the RESERVE button, Saul added a host fee, service fee, cleaning charge, and something for damage that one must no matter what. Add in taxes and what you pay is a waterfront rate for a nice little house way up on a street corner. The third star comes off for failing to provide amenities one can expect for this much money. .Examples: TV reception beyond the usual free networks, shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer. “Someone stole the hairdryer,” said Ed, the neighbor who let us in. One wonders if it was because they'd aleady paid a damage fee and decided to get even. We almost deducted a fourth star for what one could call Miscellaneous Umbrage. To wit: printed instructions saying that, despite paying a hefty sum for cleaning, you must strip the beds, dispose of all trash and leave everything as found lest you Incur “additional charges.“ We hope others find this useful. You, too, Saul.

My wife daughter and I wanted a long weekend away and this was the perfect spot. 5 minutes to town and 15 minutes to the beach. The house was very clean and up to date. No complaints.

Great!!

This house was perfect for a weekend getaway with my family. The house was very clean and cozy. Ed was very welcoming and made the checkin/checkout process very smooth. Would definitely come back!

Location and quality of the house was perfect for a weekend away. Close to the Rhode Island beaches and Stonington/Westerly.

We appreciated how clean and well equipped this home was. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need if you choose to eat in but there are some great local restaurant choices as well. A short 15-20 minute drive to several beach options made the location very convenient. Great living room space as well as screened room for fresh-air meals without bugs! Definitely look forward to returning.

Lovely cottage, clean, newly renovated and well-appointed. Super easy coordination and check-in with graceful owner and friendly neighbor. Relatively close to Watch Hill, East Beach and other nearby attractions. Would definitely rent again!
