Great location & view

The screened porch makes this cottage! Along with the view! Quiet neighborhood. Cute cottage with brand new bath & updated kitchen. Plenty of seating indoors & outside. So many beaches close by - and more about 15 or 20 minutes away. Would stay here again!

Cleaning list a mile long and no linens

That booking and check-in process were simple. The property and host had good ratings and reviews so I had high hopes. We had flown all day and arrived about 6:00 PM. Upon arrival we found there were no linens at the property (something I could find no mention of in the original posting). I did find in the arrival instructions buried 3 links deep that linens are provided by the quest (but I’m assuming now that they meant guest). So we had to go out and purchase sheets and towels that evening, and make beds before we could get settled in. I was shocked by this situation. I’ve used many vacation rentals and never consider I’d have to pack my own linens clear across the county. I try to reach the host and didn’t get a call back for several hours. In addition there was dog hair on the furniture and some of the blankets in the property. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable as well. And the last big shock was the checkout cleaning list. Typically the checkout list in properties included basics like running the dishwasher, striping beds, and emoting trash. The list at this property includes sweeping vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, putting the trash out to the curb during the stay and taking additional trash with you when you leave, and much more. I was on vacation not at a job as a cleaning service, and this list was ridiculous. Despite past reviews, I would not recommend this property or this host. I was very disappointed in my experience.

Lovely

A lovely little cottage which has everything you could need. There is no a/c but there are window fans which help on warmer evenings. The screened porch overlooking Green Hill pond, the proximity to the beach, the cool outdoor shower all added to our relaxing and enjoyable stay. Bring your kayak or paddle board!

A Happy Memory

Exactly as described. I agree with all positive reviews posted. Neighborhood is a mix of permanent residents and vacation homes. Felt welcomed among all. Great location for exploring the Ocean State. Appreciate the affordability of the rental, too. Cleaning is required, which keeps the rate down. We found it clean; We left it clean; All was great. The only caution is that you must be able to walk upstairs to second level to enter/exit. We are very glad to have found this "cottage" and are grateful for the experience.

Great beach cottage

I stayed with my dog at Anita’s cottage for two weeks and it was exactly what I was looking for - the cottage is stocked with anything you might need, and while it’s a bit of a trek to the beach on foot, the parking pass made going to/from the beach easy. Ningret park is huge and includes a dog park and plenty of space to walk. The cottage is not far from several RI favorites, including Watch Hill, Narragansett, and Matunuck. Charlestown is quiet, but it’s easy to get around. Anita texted back immediately whenever I had questions, and sent me some recommendations for the area. Great little beach cottage!

Cute beach bungalow, great location

We loved our stay! Highlights were the outdoor shower, screened in porch, and location. The house is super cute and clean with calming beach colors, and Anita was fabulous to work with. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it was a bit hot inside without AC. Most days it was manageable with the provided fans and with the house opened up, but it is a consideration if you are bringing a pet. Two days there was no breeze and it was a bit hot for our dog. It was only for a peak couple hours though. Regardless, we hope to return but perhaps in the cooler months next time.

Second visit

My family and I had been looking forward to our return to this cottage all year. With all that is going on in the world today, we weren't sure if it would happen. Anita, the owner, was responsive and patient with all my questions. Her cottage was just as inviting as the previous visit, with many updates which only increased the comfort of her home. The area, while a bit different due to social distancing, was just as welcoming and beautiful. We enjoyed the multiple options for ocean views and swimming, along with the convience of the kiddie beach within walking distance. We intend to keep coming back as long as she will have us!

A Gem in Charlestown!

Our family has been vacationing in and around Charlestown for years, but our stay at your cottage was absolutely perfect- being the most relaxing yet. The cleanliness, organization and location of the cottage eliminated the usual 'being away from home' hassels. The views of the salt pond were calming and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the view from the large deck and screened in area. My husband was in close proximity to all his favorite fishing spots (it is frowned upon to name them!), and I was able to maintain my daily walk/run right within the neighborhood (seeing soon to be familiar, friendly faces also out). Keeping our two year old son safe within the cottage was easy, and he thoroughly enjoyed "his" beach just across the way. We hope our annual RI trips continue to be at your cottage. Thank you Anita for sharing this gem with us and going the extra mile to facilitate this great experience! - The Burgess Family

very quiet and restful week

Perfect small cottage for small family. My husband and two boys spent a wonderful week at this lovely updated cottage with fabulous views of Green Hill pond. With access to the pond, we paddled almost every day. We rested, read a lot and enjoyed lounging in the screen porch. The house is at the end of a quiet cul de sac, perfect for our boys, 11 and 13 to ride their bikes. We rode to the local farm stand , Peaches, every day for fresh produce and to the bakery for breakfast. There are also good restaurants easily in bike ride distance. We drove to the beach because of all of our stuff, but it would be an easy bike ride. The cottage has been updated and has a beautiful kitchen and bathroom. It is very well maintained and feels much more like a lovingly cared for home than a rental. Hope to be back next year!!

CHARMING CHARLESTOWN, RI COASTAL COTTAGE

To start, the reservation process was excellent with no surprises. Check in was the same, as was check out. Anita, the owner, was in constant communication with us even as we stayed at the cottage. There was helpful community info posted in the house for our excursions. Everything was exactly as described. The house was immaculate, warm and inviting. The views and location are outstanding. If you want privacy, rent this place in the off season for quiet, peaceful, bliss. At night time, sensor lights all around light up the way to the enter safely. We stayed for 3 awesome nights with our little dog. The location is amazing and we enjoyed the quiet of fall at the beach. Highly recommend this rental with updated kitchen and brand new bath. Bedrooms were comfortable, clean and had awesome closets. Anita asks that you clean the property when you leave, but this was a pleasure. When you stay there, it feels as if it is your home. Thanks again for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Anita

Why they chose this property

This is my 'get away' and I have been fortunate to share it with many wonderful quests. Over the years we have built a community of returning quests who have become part of the neighborhood. I trust them with my cottage and they trust me to provide them with a well cared for vacation cottage in a friendly neighborhood and lovely community.

What makes this property unique

What I have heard from my guests is that the cottage is lovely, well-maintained and welcoming. The screened porch with the pond view is great. It's an easy place to relax. I'm fortunate to have wonderful, friendly neighbors and a great location. If you want to chill this is your spot.
