We loved being able to walk right out the door and down the path to the rocky shore and pebbly beach, especially at low tide when the birds and other creatures seemed to barely notice we were there. Little Compton town center is there if you need it and there are loads of nearby options for walking in natural areas. Looking forward to another visit.

So glad you and the "kids" enjoyed it. Thanks for your water expertise and patience. Hiccups seem inevitable. The white-eyed vireo was impressed you knew their call. Me, too!

While I selfishly don’t want to encourage people to stay here so that it doesn’t book up too quickly, I can’t overlook the benefits of spending a week at the maus haus. My wife and I don’t really do a lot, though there are many entertaining things one can do. I’m just happiest stretched out on the lawn with a good book and the beautiful view and sound of the ocean, knowing that I’ll be grilling something nice to eat for dinner. Many times we rise just before the sun is up and have coffee in the screened in porch. It’s peaceful and gorgeous. Doug is an easy going and terrific host

Thanks for loving the setting as much as we do! It means a lot for us to share the cottage with others who find inner peace in nature's beauty...and a grill.

The first time I visited this property 4 years ago, I was floored by the beauty of this property on the ocean. I’ve just returned and feel exactly the same this year. Doug, the host , is attentive from afar, asking on my arrival if I had everything I needed. I loved my week …I’ll be back!

We loved our stay and Doug was a terrific host! The cottage was wonderful and everything was very organized. They really have thought of everything. We loved the screened porch and the front porch. The area was beautiful and great for walking and exploring. The beach was nice too and we found some great beach glass. We had a wonderful time and will be back. Thanks so much Doug! Highly recommended!!

I'm so pleased you had a great time and we appreciate the kind words. Beach glass always warms my heart. (There are several of us who are "seeding" the cove with tumbled glass.)

The cottage is set very discretely in a meadow facing the ocean- the sound of the waves and the birdsong form the soundtrack. The space is clean, bright, and functional, and the screen porch provides relief on hot days (No AC). The outfitting is thoughtful and a bit spartan, but all promised elements are there, and generously supplied with paper goods, sheets and towels. etc.The bedroom is tight, and note that the loft with the extra full and single bed are accessed by a steep ladder- not for old creaky bones or tiny kids!The host is most gracious and responsive.

We keep coming back for a reason: it’s such a nice, peaceful place to spend a week. You can hear, see and smell the ocean from the porch and I love to stretch out on the front lawn with a book. The owners are terrific people, very accommodating and I’m sure we’ll back again.

We love our annual stay in Little Compton. We love to see, hear, and smell the ocean from our little cottage. The quiet area is perfect for walking, running, and biking. And there’s a farmers market and a winery nearby!
