About this property

Tidy House w/ Porch Includes beach & parking. Between town & beaches. Sleeps 7

Includes beach and parking pass to Wuskenau. Halfway between beaches and arts downtown of Westerly with restaurants, three theatres, live music, outdoor park, library etc....

Quiet and relaxing vacation spot still close to all amenities halfway between town and beaches (about 3 miles to each) , Listen to the wind in the trees all day rain or shine from large three-season porch. This house is not luxurious but clean, comfortable, well-loved, and relaxing. Halfway between main street downtown or Westerly and 5 beaches including Wuskenau (pass and parking pass provided), State beach of Misquamicut, natural Napatree point, and Taylor Swift favorite expansive East Beach.

Perfect for families of older kids, not the right place for toddlers under 5 (old house. Not childproof). Walking area down sidewalks on East Ave (both sides 1.5 miles, total 3 miles with Moore Woods walking area 1/4 mile straight walk away from house).

Air conditioning in bedroom window units. House includes all amenities as if it were your vacation home- spices, soap, towels and linens, basic cooking needs, etc... Great place for a quiet getaway. Not a house for graduation parties or lots of drinking as it is a quiet neighborhood with quiet neighbors. No animals (even small ones) due to other renters allergies.

Convenient to Boston, NY, Watch Hill, Mystic, Newport , Westerly, Casinos, New London, Block Island, etc...

Located in Westerly RI, this charming cape is 3.5 miles from Misquamicut Beach and the beaches of Watch Hill Rhode Island. Near golf, kayak rentals, and 1 mile from the center of Westerly's quaint New England Main Street America town featuring famous Wilcox Park, Granite Street Theatre, Shakespeare in the Park, RiverFire and more.

This home is in the perfect spot for touring New England- 45 minutes to Newport and Providence and Casinos. 15 minutes to Stonington CT fishing village. 20 Minutes to Mystic CT. 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.

Charming & Comfortable Cottage
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.

Needs some work
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.

Peaceful and spacious home near to beach
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.

Brought back memories
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.
