Day in Block Island

This is such a cute beach cottage! We enjoyed our stay (even though we wish it were longer). Greg provided thorough instructions for everything on the property (TV, AC units, etc.). We will definitely be looking to book here again! Thank you Greg for being an awesome host:)

Great home base!

We had a great stay at The Shanty! It has everything you might need during your stay. My family has another property nearby so we used the Shanty as our home base and it worked out great. My kids loved having their own space in the loft. We will be looking into renting again next year.

Lovely Late Summer Stay in Rhode Island

We had an excellent stay at this mobile home. It was exactly as described. We had all the things we needed for a comfortable stay. My children loved sleeping in the loft, and the master bed was comfortable with silky soft sheets. House was very clean! It is cozy, but we had plenty of space for our family of 4 - never felt crowded. The air conditioner kept us comfortable on 80+ degree days, and the WiFi could handle multiple devices. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. We were able to easily travel to Narragansett, Newport, Watch Hill and Block Island by car/ferry. There were also two restaurants and a beach (plus the salt pond) within walking distance, which was nice for staying a bit local and having dinners with drinks. A couple pieces of advice - double check the hours of Cap n’ Jacks as they were closed two of the four days we were there, and reserve well ahead for the Matunuck Oyster Bar unless you like to have dinner at 10 pm. But both places are convenient and definitely worth a visit! We ate so much delicious seafood on this trip! Last thing, just a tip - if you are over 6 feet tall, the shower will be difficult. My husband and I are both 6 feet and our heads were less than 2 inches from the ceiling and we had to do a bit of a backbend to get our heads under the water. It was not a huge deal and didn’t affect our enjoyment of the trip, but should be noted in case a very tall person is considering booking.

S Kingston house

The location for ease of visiting this beautiful part of the country was perfect. Walking distance to the beach and two great restaurants. The unit it’s self was clean and very functional. Beds and pillows comfortable…would have like bedding for more than one bed to be provided. The outside deck was suitable for two, not much of a view. This tiny home was very comfortable and quite large.

Best Spot in East Matunuck

Great experience again on our vacation in East Matunuck! Our unit was scrupulously clean upon our arrival; Greg reached out both before and during our stay to make sure everything was going well. It was great to be 3 minutes from the state beach, restaurants, and our unit was located on a salt pond - heaven! We're already looking forward to our stay in the same unit next summer!

Cozy Spot Close to the Beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very clean, quiet, cozy spot - perfect for a couple or small family get-away; option to walk to East Matunuck State Beach, and several great seafood restaurants near by. Greg was welcoming via phone and made sure everything was set for our arrival. We will definitely vacation here again!

Very small

Arrival time was 3pm. Called and left message with agent when we arrived. He was in Paris. He called his assistant. We called his assistant. We waited at the property for 2 hours waiting for a key. Kept calling agent and assistant. We finally searched for a key and found one under the hot water heater. After 3 days, the assistant never called or showed up. The unit was clean. No internet service.
