My family stayed here for a vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the water and the warmth of the fireplace. The house was a perfect location for us to take trips to surrounding areas like Newport, Providence and Cape Cod. We would happily return for another stay!
This property is decorated beautifully, with nice appliances, beds were super comfy and the house was extremely cleaned and well maintained. The sunrise view was amazing. Unexpected snow hit, and the owner was right there to shovel and salt. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanted a get away to RI.
Such an adorable and very well-appointed coastal cottage in the most idyllic and peaceful setting with direct water views! Noelle is a terrific hostess!
This waterfront home was FABULOUS! Very clean and beautifully decorated.There were lots of special touches - the owner thought of everything! It was super comfortable and spacious, and just perfect for my friends' reunion. It was even nicer than the photos. We can't wait to come back!
We had the most perfect family vacation at Noelle’s! Her home is beautifully renovated and so comfortable and welcoming. The views, the layout, all of her personal touches and timely communication - I’m not sure what more you could ask for. We will definitely be back!
This beautiful home was just what we wanted - peaceful and relaxing. And still close enough to Newport, Providence & beaches for fun days and lovely restaurants. We even prepared a meal on the grill when we were too tired to go out. My kids had fun with the kayaks as well - my daughter enjoyed one final paddle on the morning of our last day!
Beautiful well appointed, comfortable home on the water. Thoughtfully furnished to maximize water views and the lovely breeze. Owner was very responsive and supplied all needed information.
Our stay was great! Noelle is a wonderful host. She was extremely responsive both in advance of our stay, and during it (although we really didn’t need anything during our stay). The house did not disappoint! It’s just as depicted. The outdoor space is great for hanging out. And the location is convenient to Newport, Bristol, Tiverton and beyond.
Cottage was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and fully equipped. We very much enjoyed sunrise on deck and listening to waves at night. Noelle was great to deal with and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. We would definitely return!
Perfect house for a relaxing getaway with friends. Our favorite time of day was sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning. We even canceled our lunch reservations to have more time at the house! I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a spot on the water in close proximity to Newport.
Start to finish , an outstanding property , locatio and stay .Noelle and David were exceptional hosts . House is immaculately done and kept. Thank you !!!!
This place was perfect for our getaway. Right on the water, beautiful deck overlooking the water, so peaceful you can hear the waves. The location is perfect near everything you need, 20 minutes from Newport. The property itself is immaculate, clean, cozy and just a home away from home. Highly recommend and will be staying here again.
Lovely newly renovated home right on the water. Noelle was fantastic and very communicative. We enjoyed our stay despite the cloudy days. We'll be back!
