Ideal 1 bedroom beach house-2 blocks to Ocean!

*TOWNHOUSE UNIT ON THE RIGHT.

From our home, you can just walk out the front door and chose between perfect beach walks, swimming, surfing, fishing, clamming, crabbing, paddle boarding, kayaking and more…you are even a short walk, bike ride or paddle to waterfront restaurants & bars, an ice cream shop, a local grocery store, and even the famous live theater house, "Theater by the Sea".

This beach townhouse is divided into 2 townhouse units, one on the right and one on the left. In the photos, this townhouse unit is on the right side of the house. This unit is ideal for an adult couple, plus 1-2 kids. To clarify the available sleeping options:

There is not a "package" store or beer distributor in Matunuck, but Narragansett is only an 8-minute drive with plenty of options there. And don't forget an ice cream treat from Vanilla Bean! There are multiple restaurants just a few minutes walking distance: Ocean Mist, The Pub, and Matunuck Pizza Pie.

Vacation
I found several problems with the unit. floors has significant slope; lights in kitchen didn't work; big step down to downstairs bathroom; drapes in bedroom were unworkable. On the positive side: nice location. We wouldn't stay in the unit again.

Everything we needed
Great location, the unit had eveything we needed. Little boat launch the next street over for our 9.5 ft inflatable to go exploring. Great if youve got a dinghy or kayak. Walk to ocean mist for food and drinks. Lots of other close restaurants. Tak the drive to Dly Fox in Charlestown for breakfast Would stay again.

Rhode Island find in Matunuck
The rooms seemed more spacious in real life than they did on the photos. We loved the marsh in the back yard. It gave a feeling of privacy. We would be happy to return.

Great spot!
We booked this stay to see a concert at Ocean Mist. The proximity to the venue was great. The little beach area walking distance away was lovely. The house was clean and a perfect 1 bedroom place for a couples weekend away. Only about 20-30 minutes from downtown Newport which was really fun to explore as well. Will definitely stay here again.

Cute townhouse!
Weekend getaway. We had a lovely stay. The layout of the first floor was cozy, yet spacious. Large bedroom with a private bath and balcony deck. Nicely decorated.

Just what we needed
This place was just what we needed. Location to everything in Mantunuck was within walking distance. Sitting on upper deck listening to the waves crash the shoreline, Potters Pond bounty of fresh clams, just the right amount of cooking items to put on a feast and how enjoyable that was. Cannot wait for next year. Host was great and very responsive to inquiries.

Great stay.
We had a wonderful time in Matunuck. The duplex was spacious and immaculate. We especially enjoyed sitting on the decks in the morning and late afternoon.
