Great location, responsive owners, but smaller than expected. It would be great for a writing retreat. The peach pass was very helpful and made access easy to the town beach which has a large ramp for those with walkers or wheelchairs. Enjoyed overall.

Long weekend getaway

The location of this home was excellent- one mile from beaches and a nice park at the end of the street. The home felt a bit cramped- very small bathroom and had a hard time opening windows when it cooled down. Hosts were nice and responsive when we had WiFi issues.

Listing is deceiving, and property needs a deep clean.

The pictures are outdated/misleading/false. You are paying for the location and beach pass, thats it. If the advertisement said “rustic cottage, just like camping,” that would be more accurate. Imbummed I wasted my families annual vacation here. The house is in serious need of a deep clean; lots of dust and dirt in all the corners. My daughter’s feet turned black from walking around with no socks on. Im not sure where the cleaning fee goes. Very buggy, lots of dead bugs in the light fixtures, corners, windowsills, etc. The living room couches smell so musty and gross but you cant open any of the windows (except the bathroom since the fan doesnt work) because there is foam pieces and duct tape covering up the holes in the window frames. Many of the windows dont have curtains or shades, because they are broken off. Lots of broken items; hammock rolled in a dirty ball in the basement, headboard broken with super sharp edge, Grill was filthy (didnt make our steaktips). Chairs by firepit were filthy and unusable. Grass could have been mowed and partner found two ticks on him, but that is just RI I guess. Mouse poop in cabinet that I had to clean out. Battery hanging out of fire alarm.chicken coop next door is overgrown with no chickens and I believe a skunk is living there and we heard it screaming at night. We had to keep dog/child away. Neighboring house by same owner goes for similar price and seems to be much nicer.

Ideal Spot

This is a great little getaway in a very nice neighborhood. It is my second time here. It was easy to take my dogs for daily walks. It is close to many stores and is about 1.5 miles away from the beach. They lend you their beach pass to Wuskenau Beach which is a nice beach next to Misquamicut. The cottage is clean and the beds are comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here again. Thank you Fausto and Cheryl.

Comfortable and convenient

We planned a last-minute trip and needed a reasonably-priced stay. This home had what we needed to be close to our family living in the area. We spent most of our time at our relatives, visiting and eating meals; however, this home worked out for our family of 6, traveling with our dog.

Always a wonderful stay one of the best properties and hosts ever

I always enjoy my stay here with my dog. This is truly one of the best hosts here and one of the best properties along with their other ones. It’s a great neighborhood and area right by the beach. The house is delightful every time I stay there there is something new they are always updating and making sure it is immaculately cleaned. Comfortable and well-maintained. The Wi-Fi is super fast for my work. I’m already looking forward to coming back again soon.

Westerly Pup friendly Cottage

We had a great time at this cottage, nestled behind a couple of homes. Clean, the size was perfect for us, just off shore rd, so easy to get around. If you plan to rent this unit and want to cook, you should pack the basics. The only spice provided was a pepper shaker.

Nice Location but dusty

This property is nicely located, quiet and has a convenient layout. It could use some renovation and a thorough cleaning. There was a foul smell, maybe a skunk, in the main bedroom. The owner, who was very responsive, provided an air purifier which helped a little but the smell lingered for several days. We left a day early.

Cozy beach cottage

Cute little cottage on great property. It is an older home but had everything we needed. The mattresses were comfy, though a shorter box spring under the queen bed would help; that bed was tall! The wifi extender worked great. Plenty of linens available. The fire pit was nice. There wasn't any firewood left, but that wasn't a big deal.

So nice I booked it twice

So cute this house but yet so comfortable and surprisingly big inside I ended up booking it for two weeks instead of one. This is one of my very favorite rentals along with the other house owned by the host on this property which is in such a terrific area right by the beach and a beautiful nature preserve. This is our house also has a wonderful backyard really big which my dog and I enjoyed a lot. The house is so comfortable and stocked with everything you need. I’m sure I’ll be back here again soon.

Bare Bones - Needs Some Love

Great location. AC. Kinda buggy, had to plug some holes and cracks. Painfully small bathroom. Uncomfortable bed. Hard mattress and pillows, creaky bed frame. Was reluctant to return here every night to suffer though the bed. No door mat, kitchen towels or bath mat. WiFi is from the other house, signal only reaches the front rooms. My family was staying in two other cabins nearby and they were much nicer at a similar price, so shop around.

Not a nice place at all!

Pictures posted did not depict cottage. It was filthy. Gunk on bass boards, radiators had items behind them and dirty. Kitchen ceiling is ready to fall in. Black mold in Bathroom. Windows so filthy you couldn’t barely see through. On could go on. I wanted to leave the next day but as my husband started, it’s already paid for. The sad thing is it could be a lovely place with some TLC.

Not terrible, not great either

The cottage was an okay visit. While it appeared to have been attempted to be restored, there was improvement still needed. From the paint chipping off the walls to the drab paint on the walls. The cottage also had a dusty smell as if it hadn’t been aired out in awhile, which was shown by some of the dust collected on the shades. The remotes were sticky which was a quick turn off. There was no patio furniture or hammock set up as in the photos. The heating system was efficient and there was a clear attempt at trying to make the place feel comfortable. The location was a good location in Westerly, other than having a chicken coop on the property and being downwind from a farm.

The little house is big on comfort, cleanliness and amenities

I’m having such a great stay at the little house I ended up taking another week then renting the big house a few days too! I think that pretty much says it all but I just want to say as a repeat renter from these hosts in both their houses and properties it is one of the best overall travel experiences ever. The little house is really not that little both bedrooms are very comfortable the master bedroom has a very nice queen bed and the other bedroom has bunkbeds. As usual with this host there are very nice sheets and towels and lots of cookware in the kitchen and just about everything you need for a relaxing stay. The Internet is super fast and I work from wherever I am so it’s very important. The place is immaculate I actually met one of their cleaning staff today and told them they do the best job here. The location of the property is just wonderful right by the beaches and nature preserve. It is really easy to get to, and right nearby there is a Walmart gas and restaurants and more. I would not hesitate to book this property now if you are considering it because it’s going to book up fast if it’s not already.
