Cozy usually is interpreted as “small” but for Jay and Sandy’s Cottage, I mean literally cozy. It’s plenty of room for 2 couples, with 2 large bedrooms, each with a bath, and big combo kitchen/LR, and outdoor space. Everything was spotless, and I couldn’t come up with anything I might need that wasn’t there. It was so close the many restaurants and shops. We especially enjoyed the Nest for Reuben’s and a beer. The cottage feels like you’re at Mom’s house, and it just feels like a happy place. I strongly recommend it if you’re in the Providence area.
Our stay was near perfect. The cottage had everything you could want for a short stay or even an extended stay. Very nice to meet Sandy the owner. Very quiet stay ! At my age that’s very important. Beautiful place .
The overall experience was better than I thought. Very clean, comfortable beds anything we needed they thought of. The owners were very nice and were efficient with anything that we needed. Also very accommodating for parking with two cars.
We had a wonderful time. The location was great- it was an easy drive or walk to coffee and shops near the water. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The cottage was as advertised- very clean and comfortable for our stay. Having two full bathrooms was a huge plus. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Jay and Sandy!
Comfortable, convenient and sparkly! Sandy and Jay's place is amazing! All the amenities you could ever need and just a great place to stay! Thank you so very much!!
We loved our stay at this property. The owners were very easy to communicate with and accomodating. The property is as advertised and was perfect for our little family. Definitely recommend staying at this location!
This was a carefully maintained and very clean cottage. We had a great stay! The place is located next to the home of the owners/proprietors, so although we had no problems, it was nice to know that we could have adressed any quickly and easily. There were many thoughtful little touches: new sponge, tons of towels, scores of hangers, . . . The friendly owners have lots of experience and are committed to continued enhancements.
PERFECT spot for a hangout/chillout visit in my college hometown…
One of my college buddies and I come up to Newport and Bristol every year to reconnect with our old stomping grounds and we found this awesome cottage right in the heart of Bristol that was just a few minutes away from the center of town and also very close to Newport and Providence, where we typically like to go and hang out. The property owners were very kind and accommodating and their property is just perfect. A beautiful cottage inside and out, we had everything we needed and then some. Super comfortable, everything was just spot on, and we definitely have found our new go to place to hang out each year. We already are looking forward to booking this location again, if you are looking for the perfect spot to get away for a couple of days and still be near everything that is fun to do in the area, look no further than Jay and Sandra‘s cottage! Thank you for a wonderful accomodation!

The location is in a quiet neighborhood and I enjoyed walks around the neighborhood and to downtown Bristol in the mornings. The town is small with a few quaint shops and great bakeries. Location is great if you want to visit Providence, Newport, and Boston. Beds were comfortable and the unit is clean and well stocked. There were even a few treats left out for us which was a fun surprise.

Charming (and spotlessly clean) space with all the amenities of home! Short distance to all things Bristol. Would highly recommend and stay again in the future.
Set-up was just great! Very clean and the furnishings fit nicely, not a lot of clutter. Had a small problem with the heat, but the owners responded quickly and had the problem fixed. Would stay there again.
Great clean and comfortable place in Bristol RI. Close to many venues we needed to visit for a family wedding. Quiet house on quiet streets. Nice outdoor private patio to enjoy the sunny weather.
The hosts were great. Perfect place to stay.
My family came up for a wedding. The place was extremely clean. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner's who were very nice and accommodating. I would stay there again and highly recommend.
We had a great stay at the cottage. The photos are slightly outdated so was pleasantly surprised to see the property in real life. Everything was very clean and it was extremely kind of the hosts to provide water, coffee, tissues, etc. Would certainly stay again if we returned to Bristol!
This property is spotless, well supplied, and extremely spacious. We really enjoyed our 5 night stay. The very nice owners live next door.
Bristol is very charming, with pretty tree-lined streets, beautiful harbor, and good restaurants.
We loved it!
