Miss Daisy Beach Retreat 5 Stars!

We loved our stay at the Miss Daisy summer cottage. Walking distance to all you need. Beach, Ocean Mist, Farm, and Ice Cream. Could not have asked for a better host. Cathy was a dream to work with. Already looking forward to our next beach vacay in Matunuck :-).

Great vacation spot!

Very clean and nice! Location is close enough to walk to beach if you choose. Far enough way away from the center of town which can be busy.

Just What We Needed!

Cute and comfortable cottage. Very clean! Loved the quiet setting and the nice deck for having morning coffee with the bunnies scampering about and the birds chirping. Great central location for exploring the nooks and crannies of the southern coast of RI. Host was very accommodating and responsive.

Amazing beach cottage

This cottage is very well equipped, beautifully maintained, and in a perfect location. It’s in a quiet neighborhood where you can truly relax and enjoy your time away. It has one bathroom, but has the best outdoor shower so really having only one bathroom for 6 people was never an issue. It is so close to the beach, Ocean Mist, Vanilla Bean and the surf shop. We had a blast for our 3rd year in this cottage for our vacation. Highly recommended.

Great beach cottage

My boyfriend and I loved our stay at Kathy's place. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed, plus it's a short walk to a beautiful beach and a short drive to Matunuck Oyster Bar, which you should absolutely go to. Kathy even let us check-in early when we needed to escape a downpour. It was a great stay.

Great Family Vacation

Took the family to this location at the end of the summer right before school and everything was great. House was perfect for the 5 of us and our dog. Close walk to ice cream which was a daily treat for the family. An easy walk to the beach to look for shells.
