The house was perfect for me, my wife and our 2 adult daughters. House is well stocked with everything you need for the kitchen and the beach. Such a beautiful spot directly on one of the best stretches of beach in RI.

So glad you enjoyed your time at the beach. Looking forward to hosting you again soon!
My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The location can’t be beat, and we really appreciated the option to bring our dogs. They give the stay a 15/10! Elizabeth was super responsive.
It is awesome to wake up and walk directly onto the beach. And double awesome to have your pets with you. House is extremely clean and updated. Host is extremely responsive and I plan on returning.
Easy check in place was perfect for 2 people One issue was no stairs leading to the beachI had some elderly visitors that had a very hard time getting up and down that pathway
Our stay at the Azure Cottage was truly the best. What a wonderful fully equipped cottage. Being able to sit on the deck and watch the waves crashing in was magical. We loved walking along the beach. The Rhode Island shore is one of the best.
We had such a fantastic time- the cottage was perfectly located right on the beach- beautiful breeze, peaceful sound of the waves crashing all added to an unforgettable vacation with my family.

Thanks Angela! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back and stay with us again.
Beach house was well kept and functional. Beach was impressive and the restaurants in Charlestown and Newport was a highlight.
Thanks Elizabeth and Vrbo for giving my family and best friend (Myla) a memorable time. We will be back.

Absolutely stunning views. Charlestown is a pretty sleepy town in October so it was nice and quiet on the beach. The host was great and checked in with us during our stay. She gave very clear instructions prior to visiting and provided local recommendations. We hope to be back next fall.
The house is right on the beach (on stilts)
Everything was wonderful, clean and the sound of waves at night were the best. Sunrises we’re spectacular. Last day featured high surf and thundering waves. Can’t wait to go back
Poor communication. Number listed went to owner’s mother who did not have record of my booking. That being said, I never stayed there due to personal circumstances. Place looks awesome and it looks like most people who stay there love it. I just had a negative experience trying to obtain a refund due to the confusion with her mother telling us the place was double booked. Spent hours on the phone with vrbo customer service who said they had contacted the owner to ask her to send me a refund. Never got it. Again, I’m sure the place is great and I wish things had worked out.

We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy your stay. Our rental season is short, and we have a strict cancellation policy. While my mother did tell you in error she thought there was a double booking, I spoke to you two hours later and told you that it was not possible to double book and that your reservation was still valid. I further offered to let you give it to a friend or family member or try to re-list it, but it was just a day before you were meant to check in and you declined. There wasn't much more I could do. Going forward, I would recommend you get trip insurance to cover you in the event on such an emergency. I wish you and your family all the best.
The location was perfect! Best way to start the day was sitting on the deck, drinking coffee, and watching the waves. House had everything you needed and we checked out local clam shack about 1.5 miles down road which was delish, albeit a little pricey. We left “chutes and ladders” for next guest that stays with kids. :)
The property was clean. A few issues arose during our stay, but the owner was very responsive and quickly remedied everything. I would stay there again.
This property has a newer and fresher feel than the images posted! Beach, waves, and the weather did not disappoint. We did not want to leave!

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth A Wilson
I grew up in CT and lived in NY for seven years before relocating to Hong Kong in 2000. I'm an active sailor and passionate cook/baker who enjoys traveling and am planning to retire in Portugal in a few years. I'm a financial services lawyer and this is my only rental property that I use with my family and friends when I am in the US. I very much enjoy hosting and value guest feedback on how I can make the house more comfortable for guests.
Why they chose this property
I spent summers in Watch Hill and Charlestown as a child with my aunt and cousins so the area has always been special to me. The ocean front location just can't be beat.
What makes this property unique
On the beach with salt water ponds behind the house, the location is truly unique. There is amazing wildlife with all sorts of birds nesting in an around the ponds. There are deer and rabbits that come out in the evening when it's quieter, and occasionally we get a seal on the beach in front of the house. She uses the neighbors front lawn as a sort of playpen for her baby while she goes back out hunting.
