Great property for a family vacation! We loved seeing right on the water - we fished and kayak! The place is very comfortable. We also enjoyed being closed to other nice beaches and activities of RI.

We loved staying at Joe and Kathy’s place. The description was excellent. The deck was the perfect location for a family reunion and then a gathering place for our family visit. There was more than enough room for us including my two sons and one daughter in law . The property was well stocked including firewood and a bottle of wine and snacks. The spot on the river is gorgeous. We would book again for sure!

This is the cutest property! The hosts go above and beyond, with top-notch amenities/thoughtful touches to ensure everything goes smoothly.I feel terrible giving 4 stars instead of 5, but reviews should be honest. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the mattresses on two of the beds were not very comfortable (queen & downstairs).The decor is absolutely beautiful, the area is peaceful and tranquil, and you can truly tell how much thought the hosts put into their property creating a wonderful stay.

Great spot right on the river, very peaceful, perfect for a relaxing trip. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Ospreys fish right outside the house and have a family of geese taking to the water every morning. Walk about 1.5 miles (or drive) and have a lovely breakfast at Alice's Diner, the staff are so friendly and the food is good.The house was well appointed, plenty of room for 4 adults and the kitchen was kitted out with everything you need. Great correspondence from our host Joe and enjoyed meeting his brother Davie for a chat who came by to help us with an issue we encountered outside. If you get a chance stop in at La Familia restaurant and stay a bit afterwards for a beer and a chat with the lovely bar staff Chris and Brittany, you won't be disappointed by the friendly and engaging local. Over all a very nice stay indeed.

We really had a Great Time and good communications with the owner. The house was more spacious than I thought it would be from the pictures(you know how sometimes wide camera lenses do that) The house had great flow, between the living room, large family room, kitchen and outdoor areas. A/C and Heat in every room, washer/dryer, bathroom and kitchen well supplied. Outdoor view is over the top. If we're in this area again this will defiantly be a Re-Do!

We stayed here while in town for my son's lacrosse tournament. It was clean, comfortable, and peaceful. We so enjoyed sitting on the patio on the river after a long day at the fields! Would absolutely book again.

Extra large patio/deck with an amazing river view!

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. The extra large patio/deck offered plenty of space for our extended family (and friends) to cookout and spend quality time together. The owner was very easy to communicate with and offered a hassle-free check-in and checkout process. We will definitely book this property again for a future visit.

Great Vacation Stay

Our family loved our stay here. Great living space for just lounging and watching a movie. The view of the river is just beautiful in the morning. The host ensured we were comfortable, the place was clean and well taken care of. The kids loved it and so did the wife. We will definitely be staying again whenever we come back to visit family.

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this beautiful home on the water. From the moment we walked in, we could tell the hosts had decorated the space with real intention. Every room felt thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and welcoming. The home was spotless and stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. They even surprised us with a sweet gesture to help celebrate our recent marriage and my birthday, which meant so much to us.Waking up to the serene water views each morning was exactly what we were hoping for — peaceful, quiet, and truly rejuvenating.Joe and Kathy were wonderful hosts. Communication was seamless, and they made everything easy from start to finish. The outdoor space was also fantastic; we loved sipping our morning coffee by the water and winding down in the evenings with the gentle river breeze. Our dogs enjoyed the property as well. We honestly didn’t want to leave.If you’re looking for a quiet, picturesque place to unwind — while still being just a short drive from Providence and Boston — this is it. We would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome getaway for girls' trip!

Beautiful house on the river - recently remodeled, and ALL the details are tended to - they thought of everything. Met the homeowners, and they were both wonderful. While the town itself is not touristy, don't discount it due to location. There are tons of fun things to do in surrounding areas, all within 30-45 minutes. When you are done, come back to the house, hang on the patio around the firepit, and relax with your family and/or friends. Best of both worlds!

GREAT Property!

This was by far one of my best finds on VRBO. The property was immaculate and well-stocked with everything a guest would need, as well as some very thoughtful welcome amenities. The deck was perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The water-edge location is beautiful! It is a great rental for exploring the Rhode Island and Massachusetts areas - centrally located for going on wonderful day trips in the region. Additionally, the host Joe, was awesome to work with and very kind. I highly recommend this property if you are in the area. We will be returning clients in the coming years while our daughter is attending school in RI. Again, GREAT Property!

A lovely home with a great view!

We come up to this area a couple of times per year and have rented a number of properties. This one is our new favorite. The house is clean, well-supplied, and in a quiet, friendly neighborhood right on the Taunton River. Joe was wonderfully responsive, and we had everything we needed. We particularly liked that all four of us could have separate sleeping rooms/areas that were very comfortable. Unlike other rentals that have quirks and broken things, Joe and his family really take care of this home like their own. It was bright, surprisingly spacious, and warm. We are excited to come back this summer and really enjoy the beautiful patio, grill, and fire pit and some recreation on the river. This is a winner!

Perfect Getaway

I cannot say enough good about this location. The house was amazing. It really is a cute waterfront cottage, but the pictures don't do it justice. The best trip is when the location exceeds your expectations! The family room is huge and there was plenty of room for our group to hang out in the evening. The massive patio is great for morning coffee, watching the ducks, fishing or catching the quiet calm in the morning. There are separate A/C controls in each room which were a life-saver during the heat wave that we were there for. We really liked that it was a quiet area-easily driveable to many locations, but out of the hustle and bustle of other touristy locations. Joseph's communication was top-notch. The check-in process was very easy and the binder that was there for us gave great information about not only the house but the location as well.
