Anita’s place was great. Beautiful views and a great location. Close to beaches, restaurants, ice cream, coffee and smaller shops. I was with my wife, two daughters and two dogs. We’d come back in a minute!!!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! The screened-in porch was a definite highlight. When we managed to pull ourselves away from the great views, we loved how close the beach and nearby attractions were. Anita was incredibly responsive and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience!
Perfect location, beautiful view. Perfect property for our relaxing family vacation. My kids loved the walkable kiddie beach and direct pond access area. The half screened in porch was ideal. The included town beach parking pass is fantastic.

Tidy house. Great location. Responsive owner. Would give 5 stars but the carpets and couch were stained and the mattress cover was dirty.

Loved our time at this property. Will return again next summer.
I can’t decide what about this property is my favorite but time spent with my small family on the screened in porch was at the top of the list. We loved it!!

Thank you, Maude. I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay. The screened porch is also my favorite spot. See you next year! Anita
The cottage is lovely - Views of the water, close to all amenities, the stay couldn't have been better. If you have canoe or kayak, the access across the street is wonderful! Thank you Anita for sharing your home!

Nice view and convenient location. Access to pond great. House not clean.
The cottage has a large screened porch that looks out across the street to Green Hill Pond. It is a great spot for morning coffee or to enjoy a peaceful evening.
The screened porch makes this cottage! Along with the view! Quiet neighborhood. Cute cottage with brand new bath & updated kitchen. Plenty of seating indoors & outside. So many beaches close by - and more about 15 or 20 minutes away. Would stay here again!
This cozy cottage provided everything we needed for a perfect week. It had the best cookware of anyplace we have ever rented. The views from the screened porch were perfect for morning coffee or afternoon wine. We will return!

Thanks, Kathleen,
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Take care and be well-anita
Wonderful view of the pond and a slice of beach heaven
Loved everything about it. Screened-in porch and deck to enjoy sunrises , the sound of the ocean and afternoon breezes. Cottage was just as described and clear communication with Anita. Can’t wait to go back next year!
A lovely little cottage which has everything you could need. There is no a/c but there are window fans which help on warmer evenings. The screened porch overlooking Green Hill pond, the proximity to the beach, the cool outdoor shower all added to our relaxing and enjoyable stay. Bring your kayak or paddle board!
We had a wonderful stay at Anita’s cottage. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. We especially loved the bikes. We rode to yoga and the beach on the bikes. The pond access was awesome. Right across the street. We spent many sunrises on the shore of the pond. We definitely will be coming back!!
I stayed with my dog at Anita’s cottage for two weeks and it was exactly what I was looking for - the cottage is stocked with anything you might need, and while it’s a bit of a trek to the beach on foot, the parking pass made going to/from the beach easy. Ningret park is huge and includes a dog park and plenty of space to walk. The cottage is not far from several RI favorites, including Watch Hill, Narragansett, and Matunuck. Charlestown is quiet, but it’s easy to get around. Anita texted back immediately whenever I had questions, and sent me some recommendations for the area. Great little beach cottage!
