Jamestown: Cozy Cottage W/Aug&Labor Wk dates
Very well equipped house, amazing backyard with pool and hot tub, definitely the highlight of the house. The washer wasn't working but Stephen was a great host, very communicative and offered to get our clothes washed if needed (we didn't need it). Would definitely recommend!

Luxury cottage by the sea with hot tub and pool
We loved this airbnb and stayed for 3 weeks. It sits right on the edge of the marsh with an extraordinary view. We greatly enjoyed how a short walk away is Chaffinch Island, which is a gorgeous park full of tides pools and hackberry trees. The space was clean and comfortable and Mary was a fantastic host. You can see a lighthouse on an island 3 miles out sea from all the rooms, even the main bed.

Cozy Lakefront Cottage w/Swim Spa & Firepit
Absolutely loved my stay here. The space was beautiful, peaceful, and had everything I needed. I would definitely come back again!

Cozy Lakefront Retreat | New Backyard & Hot Tub
Our family of five loved staying at Yoka and Val's place. The location is very quiet with a peaceful pond across the street. The house itself is very clean and comfortable with everything you need - towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee and spices - easily available. The beds were also very comfortable. The best part, of course, was the private hot tub in the back yard. It was set in a canopy for extra privacy and wind protection. We loved it. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Amazing stay this weekend at Leann’s place!! Felt right at home & the place was fully stocked with literally everything we could need, she even left us some eggs in the fridge for breakfast! Perfect location, easy to follow instructions, very clean, super responsive! First time stay in RI was everything we could’ve needed for winter wellness weekend. Hope to be back in summer!

Lakeside cottage with beautiful views up the lake!
We had a relaxing, peaceful time at Bobby's place. It's wonderful to wake up right on the water. He was very communicative. It is quiet, but still close enough to everything. We had an enjoyable experience.

Lovely 2 BR Beach House No. Shore
Great spot for a long weekend! Wonderful location close to the beach and local wineries. Richard was a great host offering lots of recommendations and clear instructions for check in and using available amenities.

Private Beach Cottage
This well-appointed space is perfect for two people. Old Lyme is justly famous for its Florence Griswold Museum, as well as one of the better historic main street walking tours. (Currently, there's an exhibit at the museum about Old Lyme's slave-owning past.) And, then, of course, there's the ocean. Remember to ask your hosts about their beach parking pass. P.S. You may also need to bring your own coffee for the drip system.

Lake Beseck cottage
Was the perfect little get away for us. And it was nice to find a place that accommodated the dogs so well. We appreciated being able to get to places easily but at the same time have a peaceful place to return to.

Welcome to The Holly at Amston Lake
This place is the perfect getaway location, especially for a quiet relaxing weekend. Great host who was super responsive and flexible with me trying to check in early.

Pet-Friendly Private Beach Oceanfront Cottage A/C
Highly recommend! Beautiful space with an incredible location right on the water! Stunning sunsets and views! So quiet and peaceful. Appreciated the very clear directions from Elizabeth in terms of the house and local area! Can’t wait to return!

Spring Sale|CozyCottage|Walk to Beach|Pet-friendly
We had nice weekend at the cozy cottage. We loved that it was pet friendly and a short walk to the beach. Cameron was very friendly and responsive. She offered great suggestions for food and activities.

Peaceful Riverfront Cottage w/Dock, Walk to Beach
Great little cozy cottage on a beautiful river! Despite the rain, we had a great time. The house was within 30 minutes of everything we wanted to do during our stay. Kiki and Robert had everything we need and were hoping to come stay again sometime in the summer

Adorable Cottage
This magical cottage is a little slice of paradise. It’s so incredibly cute and cozy but beyond that, Erin Leigh has put in so many thoughtful touches- we wanted for nothing. It’s clean, it’s beautiful, it’s comfortable…truly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in. Her hospitality was top notch. I felt so spoiled and so sad to leave.

Huge Montauk Cottage W Private Full Bath & Shower
Can’t say enough about Michael and our stay. He made everything seem-less and was super helpful with recommendations and accommodations. We can’t wait to come back next year or this summer! Hopefully many years to come! 5 stars!

Lobster Lodge
Enjoyed everything about this house. Better than described and even better than what the pictures show. This is a flip flop house with 3 smaller bedrooms on first floor and living area on second floor with master. Plenty of space for everyone to relax or play games. Kitchen was very well stocked and there is a separate eating area for family meals. Lovely area to walk and explore. So happy we could bring our dog too!

Lux Waterfront Cottage-Bonnet Shores, Narragansett
I can’t say enough about Vicky and Rick‘s place. Not only is it the cutest little cottage on the water, but it is in a great location and a perfect little neighborhood. The house has all the amenities needed. All instructions for everything were very laid out. It was clean and modern, but with a vintage feel. The bedroom is amazing with all around windows and a great view of the water. I would definitely come back here again perhaps in the fall or summer. Highly recommended!

5-STAR Cove Cottage near Newport - Walk to Beach
We absolutely loved the cottage, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a quiet, cozy cottage in the perfect location😁

Wash Pond Cottage
A true getaway weekend at Wash Pond house. The scenery is beautiful from the large deck overlooking the pond, right down to the dock at the base of the water. The rustic cottage's soothing atmosphere in this secluded area is everything one could ask for. The house has all the essentials and more to make you feel right at home. Katrina is an incredible host; friendly, helpful and attentive. I highly suggest the Wash Pond experience.

Beautiful cottage on East End
Vincent’s place was great for my husband, myself, our baby and my parents to stay when visiting Jamesport for a wedding. Beautiful cottage, close to everything, and Vincent was very easy to communicate with. Would stay here again

Beach Cottage Located in Private Beach Community
Mary’s place was great! Everything was clean, the place was walking distance to the beach, and it was the perfect size for 2 people. Would stay here again! Note: Make sure to bring your own shampoo and body soap. It says on the listing that soap is included but when we arrived there was only hand soap and nothing for the shower which wasn’t a big deal since we had packed some.

Renovated beach cottage a block from private beach
April’s cozy beach cottage was perfect for my elderly parents. Everything was spotless, and although tiny, the kitchen was fully stocked with a large refrigerator and full stove, microwave etc. both the bed and the sofa were v comfortable and most importantly, April made sure there was AC in every room, even the cute porch. There’s an outdoor shower which is super convenient. You can easily walk to the beach, go to the arcade, kokomos, a crepes place and the carousel and gift shop. Very peaceful retreat. Must also mention how cheerfully it’s decorated and how spotlessly clean! Just lovely.

Remodeled Cottage Private Old Kelsey Point Beach
Cheryl's place was adorable! I felt right at home in the cosy open concept living space. My mom crashed the weekend portion of the trip which was nice. My cat Mushu had a wonderful time and we even went outside. The beach was about a four minute walk for me, and a breathtaking view as you approach. Cheryl had everything necessary and mentioned. Next time I'll be sure to bring coffee filters and sugar. There were unexpected amenities too like paper towels and trash bags, and candles. There were also tons of spare toiletries like shaving cream and shampoo and conditioner and body wash. Thanks again!

Waterfront Cottage, Fort Pond MTK
Wonderful all around!! Thank you again to Noah who was terrific. Lovely place :)
