The only complaint that we have is the stairway to the basement. The stairs were steep and no handrail.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Aug 2026
Thank you for letting us know that you didn't see the handrail. It is a pole in the center rather than the usual rail around the outside. Since the stairs have a strong turn in them it's easier to to reach. We'll let folks know or put up a sign. Glad everything else was great!

Stayed for three weeks. Lovely spot in a picturesque neighborhood. We paddleboarded and caught crabs and enjoyed the comfortable Aidorondak chairs on the upper deck! Sarah and Paul were fabulous hosts, bringing over everything we needed at nearly immediate request! Paul even took us on a boat ride. They were very cool about guests coming in and out over the month.Kitchen was very well equipped albeit small and appliances work very well. House was clean but could use a deep clean for cobwebs, baseboards and walls. Some of the furniture and downstairs table and patio could use a replace. Without AC units in bedrooms it can get quite muggy.Not a fault of the house at all but the mosquitos will destroy you at all hours of the day so plan accordingly!

The cottage is really well laid out to maximize the space on both floors and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. It was great to have empty shelves in the kitchen and bathrooms to unpack our things and be comfortable for the week. Lots of room for our party of six to be together and spread out. We had a great time!

We loved the location! It is very peaceful, and we kayaked and watched birds every day. We rented kayaks from Breachway Bait and Tackle and they delivered them. Ninigret Park is close by--go see the trolls! The house is equipped with everything we needed, and we loved the artwork in the house. Thank you!

Nice get away

I needed a place other than my home to work from home. Found this property which was perfect in every way. From the views to the fully stocked kitchen, I couldn't have been happier. Super dog friendly. Very close to the dog park and beaches.

Glows: location is excellent. dining room view is beautiful. access to your own dock allowed us to rent paddle boards and go out whenever we wanted. the pond had little current or wind which let our 9 year old paddle board on her own board. lots of fun nature to explore on the pond. the short walk to Umbrella Factory and the park was enjoyable. the owners were very easy to communicate with and answered questions within minutes. Challenges: the spiral staircase that connects the interior upper level to the 3 bedrooms on lower level would be hard for little kids or older adults. the kitchen is very small and doesn't have a dishwasher. it was adequate for our party of 6 but would have been very hard with more people. the lower level bathroom includes a very small sink that was hard to wash our face in without splashing on the floor and a shower that lacked a shower head.

The ever changing view of the pond is amazing! Loved having coffee on the deck in the morning with lots of birdsong, and enjoyed the view from the dining table and the kitchen as well. Rented kayaks for the week from Breachway Bait & Tackle, they dropped off and picked up. Went to Ninigret Park several times, visited local restaurants for seafood. The house and location was perfect for us. Kitchen is small, but had everything we needed. Lots of books downstairs, newer washer and dryer. We had a wonderful time at this cottage on the pond!

Annual family vacation

We usually stay at a beach house but due to our kayaking enjoyment we decided to give this a try. The 5 bedrooms were a hit, enough room for everyone. The kitchen was a bit small but we made it work. Everything you need for the kitchen was available :-). The house seemed clean but we did find a few "leftovers" from the previous renters. Washer and dryer with detergent was also very nice to have. Plenty of linens and pillows. We will be back.

Summer 2022

Wonderful vacation! A little farther from the beach than I expected also beaches in the area fill up quick. View was fantastic! Salt pond perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. Wonderful area to ride bikes or for walking. Also, enjoyed tennis and basket ball. Sarah was very attentive and accommodating.

Something for everyone

If you like birdwatching, crab catching, cooking, playing boardgames and card games, watching sunrise, or stargazing, then this is the house for you. Above all, Perseid Meteor Shower watching on the deck of house, and then at Frosty Drew Observatory in Ninigret park (just a few minutes from the house) was unexpected but truly amazing treats for us on this trip.

Family summer vacation

We were looking for something different and we got it. First we were able to bring our fur babies and that was why we chose this property in the first place! That was amazing having them with us and I want to thank Sarah for this accommodation as it was essential to us as a family as we lost 2 pets one just weeks before our vacation, we could not leave our Fenway behind after losing his brother. The house can easily sleep 12, maybe more. They are updating the cottage and you can tell it is a work in progress, but still lovely. The salt pond and wide variety of wildlife is beautiful and entertaining. We would definitely stay again if Sarah would have us. Thank you again Sarah.

Bliss

This was the perfect place for our family to vacation away from the insanity of the world. Everything was as described- it was beautiful, we saw egrets, blue herons, tons of other birds, and that was just from sitting at the dining table! From the dock you see crabs, fish, and other water creatures... We rented two double kayaks from Narrow River Kayaks for the week (best price we found, and they were super nice and delivered to the house the day I called). We also brought a small boat, which was great to have to go to the amazing private sandy beach. Ninigret pond is shallow with lots of seaweed so having boats and kayaks was essential. As other reviews mentioned, there is no dishwasher, but there are huge windows to look out at the beautiful scenery while washing dishes so it was not so bad. The place was spotless and the owner was super responsive to any questions we had. Also they had one of the best "about the area" books I have ever seen! We are already thinking about when we would be able to return...

Wonderful stay

Wonderful property with gorgeous views of the pond, well supplied house, close to many points of interest Including beaches, historic Newport, the Block Island ferry, lighthouses, great seafood, etc. all that you can think of when looking for a coastal New England vacation. The neighborhood is perfect for biking, paddling to a lovely and very secluded beach, crabbing off the dock. The house is well stocked with linens and kitchen items. Wonderful stay!

Peaceful stay on the water

The location of this property is everything. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is at the end of a dead end road so it’s great for biking or walking (though, a word of caution- we saw a very large bobcat!) And then of course there is the water .... you can sit in the living room, or on the deck, and look out at the gorgeous, peaceful view! A boat or kayak is a must here, with it you can explore the salt ponds and access the beaches or sandbars. The house was stocked with plenty of linens and kitchen items. New washer and dryer were great, but the refrigerator needs updating. (Note there is no A/C or dishwasher). Ninigret park is always a favorite of ours so to be within biking distance or a 5min drive was a great perk. With 2 bedrooms upstairs and 3 in the basement, there was plenty of room for us to spread out. The bunk bedroom was very damp, so 2 of my kids didn’t end up sleeping in there. We have a toddler, and brought 2 baby gates for the stairs inside & on upper the deck. We did a Walmart grocery delivery for shortly after our arrival and grilled on the deck most nights. Our family has been visiting Charlestown for generations, and we would stay in this home again. Sarah was a pleasure to interact with leading up to our stay. Overall we had a very positive experience and would recommend staying here!

Peaceful beautiful location

The neighborhood is lovely. The view from the house is peaceful and relaxing. The house is compact, yet we all had our own space and never felt crowded. The grill was great. It was nice to have the deck in the afternoons once it was in the shade. We biked around the neighborhood, rented a boat to go around the pond, played tennis, paddled to the beach. Saw so many beautiful birds. Great stay.

Amazing location, view, plus more.

Sarah's cottage was a wonderful stay for a group of six of us. Even with six of us, we still had room for more! Mind you we were the first guests of the season, so any minor kinks were worked out accordingly. It was for sure that the house was adequately COVID cleaned before our arrival which is an obvious must right now. The beds in all of the bedrooms we stayed in were all very comfortable. The kitchen could very easily be so much better with a new refrigerator and new stove/oven. The kitchen, however, although quite small and kitchenette-esque, is stocked with absolutely EVERY single tool you could possibly need to cook and prepare food. The grill on the deck worked 100% of the time and was a huge key to our trip. Keep in mind that renting kayaks for a week is an additional expense as the kayaks do not come with the house.
