Exceptional Property

My family and I had an exceptional stay at David’s Classic Cozy Cottage! As other guests stated, David was a wonderful host~clear, communicative w/o being intrusive, and highly accommodating! This classic beach cottage is nicely updated and spacious enough for four+adults to have their own space and privacy. The home is very well stocked w/everything one would need for a week away. There are lovely outdoor spaces as well~great back yard, very pretty front yard, front & side porches plus a screened in porch. The location cannot be beat! Thank you David!

Cute home with good location

We stayed at David’s home with our 11 month old and our 12lb dog. All had a great time. Home is very cute and homey (100yrs old). David was very responsive to any questions we had (as well as proactive in a heads up about the Smokey the Bear parade passing the house). We’d recommend this home to others looking for a place to stay in Watch Hill

Perfect New England Beach Cottage

This home is perfect if your looking for a traditional New England stay on the shore. The house itself is very classic and comfortable. If you need it, there is a very good central air conditioner. The kitchen is functional for cooking and storing. The bedrooms were comfortable for sleeping. Our favorite spots were sitting on the porch morning or evenings sipping coffee or cocktails and just inside from there, a wonderful living room setup to continue chatting or watching on the smart TV with a cross breeze coming through the screened windows. By far our favorite part of the day was waking up at first light and walking down to East Beach with our dog getting exercise walking along the endless and beautiful shoreline. (Dogs allowed before 8am and after 5pm) The town of Westerly is nearby with a great seafood shop and great restaurants. David, the owner of the home, was easy to communicate with and just an overall awesome gentleman. Looking forward to staying here again next year!

Vacation Time

Visited Westerly last year and really enjoyed the area. This year we decided a home would be better suited to us. Great decision! The “cozy cottage” was perfect for us, clean, well appointed, with nice spaces. We would stay there again.

Charming Oasis

The house was immaculate and well stocked with fresh towels and linens. The property and house are well tended with many amenities. The location is ideal. Close to Watch Hill and downtown Westerly which has many restaurants . We enjoyed morning Coffey on the deck and evening drinks in the Sun Room. Our dinner guests proclaimed the house charming and we couldn't agree more. The Cooked Goose is just down the road with the best breakfast around . The outdoor shower is refreshing and newly renovated with hot and cold water and great pressure. We had lovely breezes and it is comforting to note the house has central air and a great heating system. Our host David is charming, attentive, responsive and has a keen eye for decorating the premises. He is available when needed but never intrusive. He cares about his home and his guests' comfort. A new roof was installed just prior to our arrival. I cannot say enough about how delightful our stay was. My husband and I and our dog were the primary renters, with a visit from our family. The house is even better than advertised and our host us truly pet friendly.We will keep coming back. Margaret from NYC and RI

Good location in watch hill but house has some issues

The 1 bathroom on the second floor is only a powder room (no shower) and only accessible to one bedroom. The other 2 bedrooms must go downstairs to use bathroom. Very inconvenient Location is less than mile from watch hill village.

Just a bike ride away

The description by David and the posted reviews are very accurate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, sitting in the front covered porch for our breakfast almost every morning (one morning we went to the Cooked Goose for blueberry pancakes and omelets), and the side deck for our dinners (again, for all but 1 evening). It was so pleasant to use the gas grill and to sit aside, we didn't feel the need to go to a restaurant. Besides, items we had brought, we picked up some ready made entrees at the Cooked Goose (which is just a mile or so down the road), along with fresh veggies from the farm stand located across the Cooked Goose. The AC worked very well and the kitchen as others stated is very well stocked, I only used a cheese grater of the items that I brought from home. I loved the outdoor shower - great pressure, great hot and cold water - and the sunflower showerhead was so cute. We used it almost every day; there is also a lower showerhead for rinsing off sandy legs/feet.

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second summer staying at the A to Z house. We had a terrific time in visiting Watch Hill and discovering new spots in Westerly and Stonington. David was a great host, he was prompt in responding to messages and was close by to check in anything that we needed. The house is quaint and spotless, a lovely spot to have for the week.

Clean & Quaint Cottage !

This cottage is exactly as described. David was extremely responsive from booking through our trip. This was our first VRBO experience and we hope to revisit this property. The property is extremely clean and has ample bath towels and extra bed linens. The kitchen is very well stocked with plenty of silverware, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. The driveway and front is nice and shady and there’s a nice porch to sit and drink your coffee on in the morning. Plenty of books to read. The house was the perfect amount of space for the four of us to hang out as well as to have our own space without being on top of one another. The house maintains a lot of period charm but is up to date with kitchen appliances, bathroom, and you could eat off the floor. The a/c is perfect and the outdoor shower and foot shower was perfect for making sure sand stayed outside. The area is quite safe and also quite private. The neighborhood behind the house is also gorgeous and we went on a little walk to see the boats. The beaches in Watch Hill are easily walkable within maybe 20 min but, bc there’s not sidewalks for a portion, we decided to drive. A parking pass is provided and we had no trouble finding a spot in the morning when Sift opened, at lunch time every day for the beach, and then back again in the evenings to watch the sunset over the bay with Del’s Lemonade and St Clair ice cream, even on weekends. Both Carousel Beach and East Beach were fun. Carousel beach is a paid access beach but showers and a changing area are available with your access (public bathrooms are free to use regardless of whether you pay to access the beach). The waves are calmer on the bay side as well. I would recommend this particularly if you have little ones. East beach is free, larger, a little more crowded on the weekends, and has much bigger waves. We enjoyed the free lighthouse tour and saw spectacular views. Watch Hill is a beautiful area and this house is absolutely perfect to enjoy it! 5 stars!

A charming spot for a beach vacation

This charming cottage is clean and organized and provided ample room for our mother and son beach vacation. The house is fully renovated but maintains some period charm. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking or grilling and the appliances are all clean and in top condition. The downstairs has a full-sized sunny kitchen with access to the deck and an open living room and dining room with an adjacent bath and sunroom. The upstairs has a principal bedroom, a guest room with a half bath, laundry, and an office with a small daybed. The bathrooms are clean, have good water pressure and well-stocked with towels and the beds are comfortable. David was very responsive to questions and was a very friendly and helpful host. The home is a 15 minute walk to Watch Hill General Store and my 4 yr old made the walk with ease. We also enjoyed a stroll in the neighborhood behind the house with views of the boats going into the water and some marsh views. My son enjoyed chasing birds in the green yard and having control of Netflix after eating in. We both especially enjoyed our nights out in nearby Mystic, and in downtown Westerly where we stumbled upon the pops and fireworks. We will be back one day with additional family because there is ample space to share and a little something for everyone in Watch Hill. Check local events when booking to make sure you don’t miss something fun happening in town!

Lovely property for a family beach trip

Lovely, comfortable, unfussy property for a family beach trip. Kitchen is well-equipped for casual cooking and family dinners. Easy to use in-home laundry makes a trip a lot easier to manage. Single bed is a bit noisy when you roll around in it, but overall accommodations are very comfy. We love the book shelves! There's a nice sized yard for kids to play, and the property is a very short drive to the center of Watch Hill. Those who enjoy a good walk or those on bikes can be in downtown in no time. Watch Hill beaches, even in October, can't be beat. Will book again.

Great week spent in Watch Hill at the A to Z House!

This was our second time staying in this rental property and we have nothing but great things to say! We are lucky to have found this gem just a mile from Watch Hill beaches. The house is very clean and comfortably sleeps 4-5 guests. The parking pass for the lot near the Carousel Beach is very ideal, considering the $50 daily price to park in private lots. We love that this house is dog-friendly so that we could bring my Boston terrier along for the vacation. We will definitely be back!
