My family stayed here for a vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the water and the warmth of the fireplace. The house was a perfect location for us to take trips to surrounding areas like Newport, Providence and Cape Cod. We would happily return for another stay!
This property is decorated beautifully, with nice appliances, beds were super comfy and the house was extremely cleaned and well maintained. The sunrise view was amazing. Unexpected snow hit, and the owner was right there to shovel and salt. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanted a get away to RI.
This waterfront home was FABULOUS! Very clean and beautifully decorated.There were lots of special touches - the owner thought of everything! It was super comfortable and spacious, and just perfect for my friends' reunion. It was even nicer than the photos. We can't wait to come back!
This beautiful home was just what we wanted - peaceful and relaxing. And still close enough to Newport, Providence & beaches for fun days and lovely restaurants. We even prepared a meal on the grill when we were too tired to go out. My kids had fun with the kayaks as well - my daughter enjoyed one final paddle on the morning of our last day!
Beautiful well appointed, comfortable home on the water. Thoughtfully furnished to maximize water views and the lovely breeze. Owner was very responsive and supplied all needed information.
Cottage was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and fully equipped. We very much enjoyed sunrise on deck and listening to waves at night. Noelle was great to deal with and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. We would definitely return!
Perfect house for a relaxing getaway with friends. Our favorite time of day was sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning. We even canceled our lunch reservations to have more time at the house! I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a spot on the water in close proximity to Newport.
This place was perfect for our getaway. Right on the water, beautiful deck overlooking the water, so peaceful you can hear the waves. The location is perfect near everything you need, 20 minutes from Newport. The property itself is immaculate, clean, cozy and just a home away from home. Highly recommend and will be staying here again.
What a charming home! My friends and I could not stop talking about how beautifully decorated, clean and just overall wonderful this home is.
Highly recommend!
We do a girls trip to a different place every year. The house was very clean, very cute with a great view with an outside deck. The house was well equipped with everything you would need. The host was easy to contact and replied right away. We would definitely put this on our list of places to stay again. It’s a 25 minute ride to downtown Newport.
We were in town for a basketball tournament and I decided to treat my family to a house for the weekend rather than a hotel room. What a nice surprise. The home was better than the pictures do justice and was well laid out and CLEAN. The owner was in constant communication and from start to finish the whole weekend was a joy. Thanks !!!
This property is amazing! Very clean, well decorated, cozy and new. We were amazed at the attention to details. Everything was well thought out, down to chip clips in the kitchen drawer. We have stayed at many VRBO's, this one was the best. The pots, pans, plates silverware and everything else in the kitchen was of good quality and everything was included. We really felt like we were home, not in a rental.
Well done!
We stayed at this lovely home in Portsmouth RI for our family summer vacation. The home was newly renovated and it was beautiful. The inside was wonderfully decorated, the beds and furniture were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We took advantage of the outdoor seating by the water and the 2 kayaks that came with the rental.
Noelle the owner promptly responded to any question or concern we had prior to our vacation stay and even texted to check in with us after our arrival, to make sure our stay was going well.
We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the Portsmouth area. Easy drive to local vineyards, Newport and the area beaches.
What an amazing, lovely place to relax! It has all the comforts of home and more. It is clean, nicely decorated and equipped with everything you need.
The view from the living room was absolutely mesmerizing and peaceful. It is indeed a waterfront property—you step-off the lower patio right into the bay. Our family loved being able to journey into the water with the provided kayaks.
Communication with the kind owner was very easy. We appreciated the guest guide binder with lots of helpful information.
We all enjoyed our stay! Thank you Noelle!
Quiet neighborhood, pleasant waterfront ambiance, beautiful sunrise.
The home is exactly as pictured, even more beautiful in person very clean and comfortable. We were a family of 5 adults with plenty of space. There is a nice area to walk in the neighborhood/by the water. Took the kayaks out in the morning which was very nice!!
Close to Newport.
Noelle is a very attentive and thoughtful host. You can tell she really wants her guests to enjoy themselves and have a nice getaway.
Would definitely recommend if you want a relaxing getaway!
Beautifully renovated/Swimming/Kayaking off back deck
We had a wonderful stay at Noelle's newly renovated house on the water. Although the ad only lists the property as "close" to beaches, we found we could walk right into the water off of the back deck with a pair of water shoes. So my nine-year-old son had a blast kayaking and swimming morning to night without the trouble of any trip to the beach. The house itself is not only beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated, but it's generously provisioned with everything we could have thought to ask for on our vacation. And Noelle was a perfect host: making sure we knew where everything was, but not intruding into our family vacation time. If you go, make sure you take a morning run or walk on the breathtaking trails at the Sachuest National Wildlife Sanctuary (a short drive to the South).
Gorgeous house! It is just like the photos, if not better. Newly renovated, SOOO clean, and such a great location right on the water. The property manager was great to communicate with and answered messages super fast. Location is SO close to great restaurants, beaches, and everything we wanted to do. Family friendly home. The outside deck is new and so nice to relax on. There is also patio furniture down on the water and I believe there was kayaks in the shed but we never ended up using them. The property manager thought of everything. The house is STOCKED with everything you could possibly need. We would definitely stay here again if we do another trip to RI.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The listing was accurate, it was extremely clean and well furnished, and the host, Noelle, was very responsive to all questions and helpful with the check-in process. She clearly cares a lot about this property, and cares to make sure you are having a good stay.
The views from outside and inside the house were stunning, and there is wonderful space to hang out both inside and outside of the house. There are games, books, and lots of thoughtful touches. The kitchen is fully stocked ready for you to cook.
There is a rocky beach out front if you want to swim, and an outdoor shower to rinse off afterwards.
We will be back someday, and I recommend this listing to all of our friends and family looking for a stay in Portsmouth. We do a fair amount of traveling using short term rentals, and this was one of the best properties we have ever stayed at.
Such an adorable and very well-appointed coastal cottage in the most idyllic and peaceful setting with direct water views! Noelle is a terrific hostess!
