Perfect!
We had a wonderful stay in this little cottage! It was a clean, safe, and private spot, really close to the beach and an easy ride into Newport. It was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook. Would defintely recommend!

Relaxing stay!
My husband and I recently enjoyed a quiet beach vacation in this cozy and comfortable cottage. The cottage is well-equipped with everything one might need, including fluffy shower and beach towels, plenty of linen choices, pantry essentials (oil, spices, coffee pods) and an ample supply of dinnerware and cooking utensils. We cooked a few dinners on the outdoor BBQ and enjoyed dinner al fresco in the small backyard patio space. The outdoor shower was also really nice for post-beach cleanup, so relaxing. I also had occasion to do some laundry and those appliances were excellent. The split units for air-conditioning worked really flawlessly -- quick-working, efficient and so quiet! Communication with Lori was excellent -- she was thoughtful, considerate, generous with advice and quick to respond to queries (I inquired about one issue and she made sure my concern was addressed immediately!) Excellent host who ensures guests are comfortable at all times. Lastly, the location of the cottage outside of Newport ensured that we were never too far from the sights, restaurants, and supermarkets, but also not too far from nearby beaches. Reaching both was a matter of minutes. One thing to note with the cottage itself-- it is tucked away from the main roads so it is very quiet. As such, there wasn't too much of a view, just a tall fence. (Not a drawback, just something to note.) Overall, I recommend this space for anyone looking for a few days to relax and unwind!

Return to Newport
My wife and I came to Newport for 5 day visit and to see Newport again after a more than 20 years ago last visit. The cottage was awesome and exceeded our expectations. Immaculately clean, lots of space for two people (we didn’t use the smaller second bedroom at all), air conditioning, well stocked up in towels, bedding and a lot of spices etc so you don’t have to buy them at the grocery store. Loved the outdoor shower which was awesome. Washer dryer on premises too. We sat in the backyard at a propane powered table fire pit and reveled in the peaceful and quiet setting. You’re very near Third and Second beaches and about 10 minutes to the Cliff Walk and Newport waterfront. The cottage is in Middletown (I’m partial to its beaches as I lived in Middletown during my HS years. Lori was amazingly responsive and upon arrival we were treated to a gift basket of s’mores supplies and fresh baked raspberry pound cake. Such a great place to relax, see the beach and get away from everyday busy lives. Newport Vineyards is a very short 5 minute drive away. We will be back.

Beware read this review!
We had planned on staying for 3nights but decided not to after arrival and inspecting the cottage. The host had a nice card with a local loaf of baked bread and a tourist guide for the area welcoming us! Which was very nice but unfortunately the cottage itself had a very musty/unclean vibe to it. It is an old cottage with nice charm but my wife and I did not want to stay in a place with a odor and visible rodent traps. The bathroom is very disappointing as well. This cottage just did not match up with our quality vacation standards. Wish All the best to the host and future renters but I wanted to leave an honest review because all the other reviews rave about how clean and nice it was and that just wasn’t the case for us. The host was nice enough to refund us for 1night but we ended up still paying for the other two nights even though we didn’t stay longer than 20 minutes during initial arrival.

First Rhode Island visit
Very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful little cottage. Being our first time in RI, its location gave us easy access to Middletown and Newport, as well as a 30-40 minute drive to the Providence area. We loved the seclusion the cottage offered. Enjoyed the back deck and outdoor shower everyday. Short drives to local beaches and the bird sanctuary.

Charming cottage
Lovely place for a week-end getaway ! We enjoyed the calm and privacy of the property. Minutes from downtown Newport, but away from the crowd. Lori was very attentive to our needs, and helped book a great restaurant. The only thing I would improve is to get a small microwave for the cottage, warming up food on the stovetop was not the best... Otherwise , great experience , would visit again !

Wonderful home and location
We stayed in Lori’s cottage late June and we truly enjoyed the time there. The cottage is cozy, beautifully decorated and spotless. It is well stocked as well. The outdoor shower is fabulous! We communicated often with Lori and she is extremely nice and helpful. Her assistant Rebecca is lovely as well. We ended up meeting both of them in person and they are amazing! The location is perfect as well. We will definitely return!

Cozy weekend
We had a lovely weekend at this cozy cottage. Our stay was comfortable, and the location was perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Newport. You could tell that the hosts really pay attention to the small details at this place. It was also delightful to just sit outside and listen to the sounds of nature in the morning. Would also highly recommend a visit to the Norman Bird Sanctuary given its proximity.

Labor Day Getaway
The cottage was just as described. No bad surprises to be found. Clean and cozy, just wish some parts were a little higher as we had to watch out for our heads not getting bumped. If you're over 6 foot tall, watch your head. :) The water bottles and goodies in the kitchen were very appreciated. Only drawback was the lack of lighting outside at night. Really have to watch your step when it's dark. Thank you Lori for the recommendations and quick communication. Hope to be back again.
