'SEASIDE' IS AN OCEANFRONT cottage w/ Private Sandy Beach - up to 12 GUESTS !⛱

Comparing notes with friends and family who also took beach vacations this summer, I’m glad we chose Seaside. First, for the Rhode Island beaches—easy to get to, low-key, not crowded. And this beach was quite lovely, especially since we were perched on a deck right over it. Nothing more restorative than gazing out at that gigantic horizon and expanse of uninterrupted blue…except for sleeping to the sound of surf. We spent a lot of time on the deck, as it features all the benefits of the beach with none of the ordeal of getting to it or sitting on it! The house was wonderfully situated, and comfortable in a laid-back, beachy way; I especially appreciated the decent mattresses upstairs. The configuration of the house turned out to be the best of its features: we four “older” adults inhabited the main abode (btw for couples, a short hall separates the 2 queen bedrooms upstairs, there is no door or curtain) and my 3 adult children who stay up all night inhabited the apartment (queen, small bunkroom), so we didn’t suffer from each other’s schedules though we used only the main kitchen and ate all our dinners together. The kitchen is well kitted out (although some lids for the pots would be nice) and we made full use of the fresh seafood and produce and pie stand up the street. Our best adventure was a day on Block Island, right across the sound, where we rented bikes and mopeds and toured the entire island. Even though I’m not a beach person, I’d return to this rental. Thank you, Lorna!

We arrived for a long labor day weekend....5 couples.

There is no better property for view, location and access to your private beach. The bunk bed rooms were small. There is a large master bedroom upstairs. Each floor has a full bath. The attached apartment has a full stocked kitchen, full bath, a bed bunk room and another with double bed. We had great weather so most of our time was spent on the deck/beach. There is nothing missing from this rental. The property was clean & maintained. We would definitely go back.

We had an amazing family vacation at this home! You can't beat the location and the private beach area you have at your disposal is quite large. We had a family of 10 with plenty of room. Hope to be back again. Highly recommend!!

What an Awesome house. Location is great, cant get any better then on the beach. There was plenty of room for all in my party. The description was right on point and the Owner's response to my questions was immediate. We rented the entire house for the weekend and it worked out perfect. You can tell how much the owner cares because of the wonderful updated floors are beautifule and the couches are comfortable and best of all listening to the waves crashing while you fall asleep. It's location is convienent to the taste of Mystic and Point Judith. After the first shower you learn not to open you mouth or eyes( you are on the ocean) but other than that it was a wondrful weekend in a beautiful house. Cant wait for next year. Thanks

Desparate to get to the beach, I inquired about this property since I wasn't sure how many people/families from my group would be going and the ad said sleeps 4-12. Well, lucky for us the side for 4 was open! (Who knew we'd be lucky enough to be at the beach?!) Because the owner was so accomodating we were able to pull off a wonderful 3 days right on Charlestown Beach in her little beach cottage.

I just read the other reviews and can confirm the location, location, location! Also I just saw the recommendation for the Matunuck Oyster Bar. Luckily we found that on our own and had a great meal in spite of the pouring rain (entrees got soaked upon delivery, but were still good). We saw a terrific "light show" and fortunately recieved our meal prior to the restaurant losing power. We were glad we had power at the house when we returned! Also glad the "master" bedroom had a ceiling fan and more glad we brought a small one from home. I suggest you bring one because if you have to close the windows due to rain, it does get pretty stuffy, otherwise there is a great breeze!

Having just gotten a smaller car, we were thrilled beach chairs and umbrellas were found right under the house en route to the beach and when done with them you drop them off right next to the outdoor shower! Yep, the shower is salty, A new experience but not terrible. I guess it could be handy if you have a sore throat. We noticed no smells expect the fabulous salt air. Our last night we "took out" food from the Breachway Grille. Half of it was ready before the rest, and we had to wait so some items didn't travel as well as others, but overall it was very good. I bet if you ate there it would have been even better. For us, we were having such a terrific beach day and early evening we chose to stay on the deck, so a little soggy food, was worth it!

If you are willing to sacrifice some space* for location on a terrific beach, rent this cottage.

*We were 2 adults and 2 grown kids with another visiting for the day. It's perfect if the weather is good, cozy if it isn't. It's probably ideal for a couple with small children.
