Lovely house in a good location. Short drive to the beach and a parking pass for the beach was a plus. Communication with the owners was great. One issue at the house was handled quickly by the owners and they couldn’t have been nicer. We were close to a few shops, cafes and restaurants.
We had a great stay. Our host Alison was great to work with and even left us a carrot cake. Property is well maintained and having full cable and Wi-Fi was a huge plus for us. I would definitely recommend this property for a small group/family. Fit our needs for a group of fisherman
The cottage was beautiful, clean and dog friendly. Everything from the bathroom, the kitchen and the laundry room was in working condition. The owner was very sweet and welcoming! The beach was only a short drive which was my main reason for going to the cottage. It was very peaceful which is exactly what I needed. I would definitely recommend this cottage and will be back again hopefully soon!
We had a pleasant stay and the owner could not have been more kind and accommodating. The description and pictures are accurate except for the yard. It is beginning to get overgrown with weeds and vines along the fences (which could use some maintenance), however it makes great cover for the many rabbits in the area.
The house was very clean and comfortably cool and our dog settled right. The neighborhood is was very quiet when we were there in early August. The streets are perfect for dog walking.
The Snug Harbor parking pass worked out great. A very short walk from there to Charlestown Beach.
We went to Rhode Island for a long weekend getaway for our 33rd Anniversary. We booked our stay only a week out and explained our get away when we booked this home. Alison and her husband made note of this and left us a very nice gift of wine and cake in celebration of our Anniversary which was so kind of them.
Upon arrival at the home, we noticed the outside could use some landscaping/clean up done. However, on the inside we could see they are in the process of making renovations to their home. There are new hardwood floors in the whole downstairs area which look really nice, the kitchen is very close to completion with new floors, tiling, counters, appliances and cabinets newly painted. The bathroom also looks like also it has been recently renovated. The bedrooms are a bit outdated and dark, but the King size bed was very comfortable, there was plenty of closet and drawer space and, although we brought our own linens, Alison did provide both sheets and towels for our stay if we needed them.
The backyard could also use some landscaping clean up but does have a nice seating area as well as a gas grill if you chose to cookout. This house also has a washer and dryer which we did take advantage of to wash our clothes and linens before we left for home.
Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant, and we look forward to visiting again and seeing any additional renovations that take place in the near future.

Not quite a beach cottage
The house was cozy, clean and cute. Alison was very helpful and met us on site to replace an air conditioner cord. Unfortunately, the past tenants had left fish in the recycling barrel (by accident) after trash pick up and when Alison asked us to put out the trash Tuesday night for Wednesday pick up, the smell was horrendous. Trash was not picked up so it sat outside until Saturday morning. Also, the house is renovated butthere are several things that are not completely done, e.g., new cabinets in the kitchen, but no handles and they all seem to open in different directions, which was frustrating.
There are lots of beachy signs around the house, making it feel like a beach house, but it is actually quite dark as the kitchen and living room is really the basement and no place bright to hang out. The backyard is not exactly a pleasant setting, e.g., the yard isn’t really cared for, the fence is broken in places and the shed is falling apart. We grabbed two beach chairs out of the bin in the back only to find out once we got to the beach that they were broken. I suspect they have quick turnover between renters and don’t have time to check the house and the amenities in between.
If you’re looking for a clean and comfortable place to sleep, and have breakfast, this is a great location near many beaches. We biked to the beach and to 3 local restaurants and an ice cream shop. These are some of the best and most beautiful beaches in all of New England within biking distance.
My friends and I come from 8 different states once a year to go fishing in the Charlestown, RI area. Half of us stayed at this property and the other attendants staying at the another house were jealous. Amenities such as cable, washer/dryer and dishwasher were very much appreciated. The host was very quick to inquiries and the residence was immaculate. We very much enjoyed our stay and I would rent the property again.
We had a wonderful time in RI cant wait to be back with better weather! Your in good hands here. Due to a storm the place lost internet, Alison got Verizon to the place very quickly and even bought us dinner over the whole thing.
We highly recommend this property. It was clean upon arrival and ready to go! Theres plenty of closets and dresser for clothing and the kitchen is well stocked. The grill was immaculate and made dinner after the beach quick and easy! The AC kept the house nice and cold as we were there during a heatwave! Allison, the owner, was great with communication and even was so kind as to leave us a fresh pie from a local farmers market! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Allison for making our family vacation that much better!
The Bingo is a very cozy spot. It was priced accordingly. We grilled , read and watched movies after all our adventures in the sun during our days.

A wonderful house for good family times.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bingo. It was very comfortable for my husband and me, and our son's family. We rode bikes to the beach; we enjoyed several BBQ dinners while our grandchildren played water games in the fenced-in backyard; the air conditioners kept us cool at night; and the neighbors were friendly. The owners were communicative and made sure we were comfortable during our stay.

The place was adorable. And Allison was very nice and accommodating. I would recommend this stay.
I would recommend it. Just minutes from the beach and not far to many attractions such as go-carts and Newport.

Comfortable & Clean
This cozy cottage offered what we needed for a comfortable and clean stay. The owner was very receptive to addressing my needs...assuring wifi was available as well as use of the grill.
Very friendly neighborhood, as well, with lots of "good morning" and "hello" from all I encountered while walking the pups.
The beautiful Charlestown Beach was an added bonus, even in April!

Wonderful house, great location, quiet neighborhood
We rented this house for two weeks in August. Everything was clean and in great shape. The house was cool on the hottest days, and roomy enough for all of us. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could want, and the fenced in yard was perfect for the kids and our dog.
The outdoor shower was great when we got back from our many trips to the beach. We met several neighbors on this quiet, low traffic street who were all wonderful.
The beach is just a short drive away with parking right nearby. A small but great grocery store is also nearby, so no need to travel far to shop for provisions.
We are definitely coming back since we had such a wonderful experience. I would recommend Bingo to anyone.

"Bingo"
We enjoyed our stay at "Bingo". We liked the neighborhood and walking around and seeing all the houses. The fenced in yard was just the right size for our two dogs.

Wonderful!
We visited over the Labor Day week / weekend and had a terrific stay!
Located on a quiet street (near everything) this is a great spot to relax and enjoy the area.
The home is very clean and organized with plenty of room. Bedrooms are comfy and there is A/C throughout.
The kitchen is stocked with all essentials .
The outdoor shower is really great.
Really close to wonderful town beach.
This is the perfect spot to enjoy a great stay!
I highly recommend!
