We returned to this house that we have enjoyed with our kids after several years off. Still the same place! Great location. Unfortunately, I forgot that the host does not provide sheets/ linens. And I could not find this on the VRBO listing. This was annoying. In general, disappointed that there hasn’t been maybe any investment in the property after 6-7 years. The kitchen cabinet handles were falling off, the sliding doors were difficult to lock/ secure. Would be great if the host provided sheets in the future.Once we settled in, we loved our stay. Location!!

It’s all about location and beach view.House is a bit dated and could use some TLC for sure.Would be nice to have an outside shower, and linens included.Breeze was great!!!Please do not think you can park your car in garage as it’s full and would not accommodate any vehicles.Instructions as to use of TV streaming service would have been nice as I was not familiar with TV and its streaming services only.Other than the weather of pouring rain for two straight days.. it’s a beautiful location and was a great week!

Our second year staying here and it couldn’t have been any more perfect. The cottage offers all you need. I love how peaceful the area is, the only thing between the cottage and the ocean is a field of Queen Anne’s lace! Matunuck is a special place and we are grateful to get to stay in this cottage and make the best family memories. It is clean, more than enough room for my extended family to sleep, laundry and a full kitchen and a grill. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Great location

The house offers a great location with views of block island sound and south Kingston town beach. This was our third stay and we always enjoy the area and easy walk to the beach. The house itself could use some updates and the furniture is dated and consists of folding chairs for the dining room table. Overall we know what we’re getting into and enjoy the area but a little upgrades would make it a whole lot more comfortable.

Perfect beach house for our vacation!

This property is perfect if you want to walk to the beach and are able to see the ocean from the front porch. Plenty of room to cook, eat and enjoy each other. With 2 bathrooms it was perfect for our large family. I had my WHOLE family there. It was perfect. The property is exactly as described. Host responded to any questions I had asked. I can’t wait to come back next year.

Perfect view of the beach

Pros: 1. Location was awesome. Short walk to beach, market, ice cream stand 2. Beach passes, beach chairs and sand castles toys provided 3. Large dining and family room. Ample room for the whole family 4. Plenty of cooking supplies Cons: 1. Linens need to be provided being that we were traveling from Missouri. It’s not like we can pack bedding and bath towels for 4 beds and 5 adults. 2. One fan wasn’t working in one of the rooms Overall, the home was great and was once very lovely. Lots of hard wood and big windows. Could use some upgrades, especially air conditioning. Mostly to fight off the humidity, so a few window units would be great. But generally the weather was pleasant in early July, any months later it may be too hot for some. The owner was very responsive to any questions. We would rent this home again

In accurate property description

VRBO RENTER BEWARE! This house pictured below near the beach in Matunuck, RI is not as it is described on the VRBO website. We rented for a month this July-August for a great deal of money and found it had NO air conditioning in one of RI hottest summers on record! The house thermostat registered most days and nights over 80 degrees and had only one ceiling fan in the living room and only 3 filthy box fans for the entire three-bedroom house. Plus, discovered the rental did NOT include linens at all! The dishwasher did not work nor did garbage disposal! Plus, the Jenn-aire cook top appeared to never have been cleaned! VRBO admitted to us that there were two previous renters who have filed reports about this house not being what the owners claim it is! VRBO promised us a partial refund of our payment over week ago and as of now that has not occurred. My advice is DO NOT RENT from VRBO or rent this house.

Nice location but if you want a nice home this isn’t it

Ok, so the location and views are fantastic but the home leaves a lot to be desired. First: No sheets or towels?? Don’t fly in and expect to stay here…its dumb. The place is not in great shape. dining room chairs are broken, the stove is DISGUSTING ( all we did was boil water it was so bad). There were ROACHES in the bathroom, roach/ant traps all over the house, the fridge had a bunch of open beer cans inside, the freezer leaks all over the floor, the garage is full of junk (we had to go in to get the gas grill) there was mold all over the shower curtain, half the inside all of teh outside lights don’t work, inside of the drawers were not clean, washer and dryer were filled with half washed towels, the mattresses are Salvation Army leftovers, there are broken tiles in the kitchen, the screen doors and windows don’t all work and the front/outside of the property is a mess with old wood and junk lying around including old boxes. The worst part is that there is no air conditioning. This would be OK as it is near the beach and the breeze blows at the house, but the bedrooms have no cross ventilation and tiny windows. There are box fans but they can’t keep the place cool. At night you sweat to death. Its unbearable at times. We had a great time, but that was because we didn’t spend much time in the house. Its location almost makes up for it. If you rent this place be sure you know what you are getting into…great party house. No worries if you mess it up. It already is.

Hi Daniel, yes it is true we do not have air conditioning nor do we offer towels or linen. And we do not advertise that we do. I have cleaning people come in after each renter so I am surprised by the "beer cans", "half washed towels" and "old boxes" comments. We have recently replaced all the mattresses and certainly not from the Salvation Army. And the dining room chairs were not broken. Sorry you were not satified

This is our third year staying at this home and it continues to be amazing. It’s everything we want and need and the location could not be better. We had an issue with the oven…the host did their best to get it fixed while we were there. But it was not something that ruined our week. We had the best weather. It’s a home that we hope we can continue to enjoy for years to come!

After a week's stay, we definitely agree with past travelers. Walkability to the beach and the view were great. We liked watching the deer in the field. We appreciated the laundry and grill. No doubt the house needs updates and could have been cleaned better. There is no cross breeze in the master bedroom which made it difficult to sleep during a heat wave however a large fan in the living area kept the downstairs cool. The bushes hung over the sidewalk and need trimming to make it accessible from the driveway. The fold out sofa on the second floor is unusable as a bed. Summary:PRO: Location, laundry, grill, plenty of room for familyCON: Upstairs gets hot, landscaping needs attention, cleanliness (especially in unseen areas)

We spent three hours cleaning it enough to make it tolerable to be in the space. There were no sheets. No towels. (It is not in the listing that those items are not provided) When we inquired where to find them, we were told they do not provide those. We absolutely would NOT have chosen to stay there if we would have known we would spend hundreds of additional dollars on sheets and towels for the week. It is run down. Water damage and cracks under windows. A cracked window in one of the bedrooms over one bed. (When we informed the host, we were told it’s been like that for a while.) One of the screens on the sliding doors was extremely damaged and had vines growing up it, so the door couldn’t be opened to get some air. (No air conditioning- also not mentioned in the listing) Beds are awful. There’s a crack in one of the steps going to second level. (Not enough to be a hazard- yet)Ants. Ants. So many many ants. And spiders. The landscaping is overgrown to the point we couldn’t use the side walk. Most of the bulbs in the ceiling didn’t work. Washing machine smelled. The view is great. Proximity to beach- great.

Towels and linens are not listed as being provided. Same as air conditioning. Thank you for letting us know about the screen door and will inform out landscaper to be more diligent about trimming. We will also address the ant issue. When I was there a few weeks ago there were none. The house is dated which is certainly reflected in the price

Needs repairs!

Numerous things need attention in the house: 1. Leaking toilet upstairs. We’ve been placing towels on the floor to sop up the wetness. Disgusting! 2. Shower head holder was cracked and we now have it rigged up with rubber bands. Needs a new holder installed. 3. The backs of and the wheels on the dining chairs are falling off. Tried to repair them but the screws are stripped. 4. The bedroom that was advertised with bunk beds now only has one bed. We were counting on that additional bed space. Had to have people sleeping elsewhere and changed our entire arrangements (boys/girls) 5. The small kitchen sink is clogged. Tried Drano process twice. Still clogged. 6. Upstairs shower light fixture not working. Another bulb Above vanity is blown out but could not easily remove old bulb with fear of it breaking off in the socket. Other set of lights above sink (on toilet wall) not working at all. 7. There is no ice maker except for old fashioned cube trays. It was advertised as having an ice maker. 8. Only one garbage tote and 1 recycle tote does not cover it for nine person household. The house is clearly a rental income only, with owner not giving any attention to the upkeep of this house. For the money, would expect things to be in working order. Renters beware! I

The location of this property is perfect!! The layout of the house worked very well for my family. Communication with host was minimal, very little information about check in. Furniture on the deck was limited to a picnic table as the other pieces were broken. Appliances in working order, definitely outdated. All things considered, I would return!!!

Perfect Location!

My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this home. It was spacious and could accommodate us very well. Some positives were the proximity to the beach, the available beach parking passes, the smaller appliances which were updated and clean, the upper deck furniture, the effective washer and dryer, the quality of the mattresses, and the great neighbors nearby. The property owner answered questions that we had fairly quickly. Some areas that could be improved: The range is very outdated. The wall ovens are smaller than standard, making larger pans difficult to insert. Many lightbulbs in the house were out, including the one in the refrigerator, and due to their location, could not be replaced. The lower deck furniture was outdated and some pieces were broken, which made larger groups difficult outside. It would be helpful to have additional beach chairs for guests as well. We would definitely rent here again! It is close to many attractions and is a comfortable home!

This house is in a perfect place for a summer vacation by the beaches of South County RI. Vistas of the oceans and Block Island. A 1/4 mile short walk to S. Kingston, town beach, parking passes provided if you choose to drive. About a mile to East Matunuck a state beach. Then there is the summer time feel of Matunuck with Ocean Mist, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Shop, The Pub in Matunuck and a short drive to Matunuck Oyster Bar, Captain Jacks, George's and Jim's Dock. We were there during the coronavirus crisis and bring your masks as it is strictly enforced as is social distancing. Theater by the sea is within walking distance from this house, but it was closed. A short drive you can find Tristam Preserve, Green Hill, Charleston Breach way and miles of beaches where you can walk. This home is a great base for all of these vacation activities and accomodates 9 folks... if you need food etc. Wakefield/Narragansett is a short drive from this house.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The house couldn’t be in a better location, right near beach, restaurants, and fun day trips. Owners were very helpful and responded right away to any questions we had. House was fully equipped. Had a nice yard for the kids to play in and a deck for the parents to relax on. Overall a great stay and we look forward to coming back next year!
