Adorable cottage on a beautiful peninsula

My husband and I stayed here for three nights and it was lovely! Waterfront views, beautiful location, friendly neighborhood, lots of road to for walks and runs, and easy access to Providence and Newport (both of which we visited). We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful beach house!

A great time we came with our daughter and future son-in-law for her 23rd birthday. We had an amazing time the property manager and maintenance person was very approachable and helpful when we had a small issue. Would definitely come back again. House was very clean and photos were just as they were on the website for the most part all in all a really nice stay. Thank you Beth and Kevin for making our weekend perfect.

September "summer" stay

The cottage met all my expectations as a place 'to extend summer a little longer'. Peaceful reading on the deck and walking along the shoreline. Beautiful scenery abounds in all directions. It was also convenient to exploring north, south, east and west. Close to a good food market and some nice places to eat.

The happy place

This place was just all around perfect. Such a beautiful and serene location. The home was very comfortable and clean. Accurate description and pictures on website. But the website doesn’t fully portray the peaceful vibe. The host (Beth) was responsive and timely. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Our stay was very good. The home was very comfortable. As always. The caretaker Kevin was great. However, as advertised the view of the Mount Hope bridge and the Naransgsett bay were obstructed. We asked that they clear it and cut the bushes but they did not. We love the view but we would have preferred if we could see it as we were relaxing in the deck. The stairs down to the beach were overgrown And difficult to navigate. Other than than not enjoying the views the home was very comfortable.

Amazing water front retreat!!

The cottage was perfect for our family of four! We have younger children that lives the bunk room! They also lived hunting for sea shells on the private beach. The wildlife is amazing! Short ride to everything, Newport, Bristol, and a little longer ride to Boston, where we saw a Redsox game! The house is well appointed with all of the cooking and flatware you need. My brother and his wife came by for dinner and we grilled out and used the large deck with table and seating for eight! We will definitely stay again. We loved the rustic cottage feel and watching the ragotta races in the Bay. Amazing!

Nice Little Cottage in a Wonderful Area Emphasis on Little

Our stay at this cottage was very nice. The place was well stocked, and everything worked relatively well. The location can't be beat for the scenic value. Located on a peninsula with the ability to see the water on both sides of the cottage. We were visiting for a wedding and the location was close to every venue we needed to visit. The only downside was the size of the second bedroom. Two people could not be in the bedroom at the same time to dress. You had to take turns dressing. Access to the main floor bathroom was a bit awkward for anyone in the small upstairs bedroom. Having a Netflix account or some paid for TV service would help with figuring out what you can watch and what you can't. We would stay there again but I want the down stairs bedroom next time.

Helping Mom Organize in Lawrence Farm.

Stay was great. My wife Wendy lived in Portsmouth for a long time on Lawrence Farm Beach. There were other homes in Portsmouth we liked but we ended up booking here and glad we did. Everything inside was beyond perfect for a couple or a couple with a few kids or family. I’m still in vacation hangover mode because of how nice RI is and where we stayed. We do have one suggestion and this is to landscape. The Lilac needed to be cut back by about four feet and blocked a good portion of the view from the upper deck. We spent a lot of time up there and my wife kept asking me to trim it back. Haha. But I didn’t think it was right so I didn’t. Other than that this property is perfect. I can be a tough and honest customer so please take this is an honest and heart felt review. We’re coming back so please trim the bushes. :)

Amazing View but....

While the views out the window were beautiful there were some things that did not justify the amount spent. The stairs to the main bedroom are a bit of an issue for us (me 64, wife 71). The main floor bedroom with bunk beds were not an option for either of us. We left our luggage on main floor and only went downstairs to sleep. Went to make coffee the first morning, no coffee pot and only one Kuerig for the two us. I left over a dozen pods we bought for the next renter. The last and biggest concern is the "renter rules" I received just prior to arrival informing us that the property is on a cesspool septic system which had me worried the whole time as the letter stated if anything other than toilet paper would clog system and we would be charged for repairs. I ensured not even toilet paper went down. We put in garbage. While the view was amazing the rules and steps are a bit too much for us.

Dear David, Thank you for your review and staying at our property. While we strive our best to provide our guest with a great stay, we understand we might not meet everyone’s needs. We do showcase the stairs and beds in our listing to for transparency, but can appreciate it may not have suited your expectations. We do keep a coffee pot on site, but it broke shortly before your visit and we did not have enough time to provide a new one. I apologize that we were missing that for the duration of your stay. In the interim we hope the keurig and kettle sufficed. Thank you for your thoughtful gift for the next guest. The plumbing can handle regular use, we apologize if the communication wasn’t clear. The clause is there as a precaution, but to date we have not had a plumbing issue after 10 years of use. It serves to discourage guests from flushing trash, toilet paper is not an issue. If we felt that toilet paper posed a risk we would close property out of hygiene concerns. Thank you again for your in depth feedback and we’re glad you did get to enjoy the views. We will take all your advice in to consideration. Best regards Beth

Great seaside cabin

This is a great property in Portsmouth with a view of the water on both sides of the house. There's a walkway to the beach, and we saw beautiful sunsets. The house is perfect for a family--two bunkbeds on the first level and a queen bed downstairs (Note there is a spiral staircase to go downstairs.) The house has all the pots and pans we needed to cook. We'd definitely return.
