Charming Cottage!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this cottage! There was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space during the day and gather at the substantial dining room table at night for dinner and games. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time at Seaglass Cottage. The house was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. The kitchen was fantastically equipped and well organized. The outdoor area was lovely as well. Our host was very responsive. We really felt the cottage was our home away from home during our stay. In fact, our children loved the house so much they asked to return on the ride home.

An Ocean cottage

This is a very comfortable home, which was well-equipped with what our family needed. It's in a quiet, well-established neighborhood, with some view of the ocean. The cottage is lovingly furnished; apparently our hosts have deep family roots in Rhode Island (as I do). Communication with the property manager was unsually good.

Jamestown

Thoroughly charming antique house but with very modern bathrooms and furnishings, nothing fussy just warm and beautiful. Location quiet and small beach at road's end very appreciated. Everything we could need was thought of: bug spray, sunblock, spices, cooking gear, clamming rake, gas grill, tissues and heaven knows what else. Just an amazing property on an amazing island. We all had a relaxing and wonderful stay. Thank you!

Thank you Laura for your glowing review of our cottage. Our aim has always been to make our guests feel comfortable & at home, so they can make special memories with their family & friends - just as our family has been fortunate to experience for the past hundred years. We hope you will consider a return visit to our Sea Glass cottage in the not too distant future. We’d love to have you! Sincerely, Nancy

6/10 Okay

A lovely porch, the nicest aspect of the house. House could benefit from new furniture, kitchen nice

No swimming beach access - the reason we go to an island in the summer is to spend time at the beach however all the swimming beaches require parking permits. We've stayed on Jamestown previously, a great 8 mile island, and the owners provided parking passes to the town beaches. I called the town hall, they said we could pay $15 a day to use the beach, but we weren't able to find parking attendant to pay..

So sorry you were not fully satisfied with our cottage. We spent the past few years 'fully' restoring, down to studs, our cottage, By intermingling many of the family furnishings; bed sets with new mattresses, dining room set & lamps, etc, with new couches, chairs, fixtures, etc., we wished to create the feel of its 100 year history with our family. Oh, and we do have brand new bathrooms & kitchen! So it's disappointing to hear your review. But always good to hear another point of view. We do describe our cottage on on the vrbo website as having access to a 'shell' beach, & included a photo. A beach our family has always used for swimming & kayaking. This is the first time we have had concerns from a guest that they were not treated to the town beach. We understood our permit was for residents only. So thank you, we will certainly check into that possibility for our future guests. And we thank you for taking the time to review our property & wish you a much better experience if, and when, you visit once again the Jamestown shores. Wishing you a healthy & happy year ahead! 😊� Sincerely, Nancy

Fun for Five

Perfection....loved the island...location on the island...the house....especially the house. It was beautifully but comfortably furnished...fully equipped kitchen...more than adequate linens and towels. Lots of equipment for the beach-chairs,coolers,umbrella, etc. Perfect porch for reading and dreaming. And FOUR BIKES, tennis rackets ..and a quitar for my talented son in law to strum. Big lawn for bocce, whiffle ball, whatever. Nice beach to walk and explore We loved it...and dreamed that it belonged to us.

Wallace & I appreciate that you took the time to write a review of your recent visit to our home in Jamestown. This summer has been our first experience with sharing our island cottage with families outside our family. So hearing in our first review that your family felt comfortable and at home is very gratifying. It is our sincere hope that you will have a chance to visit Sea Glass again, and continue relaxing & dreaming on the front porch with family and friends. Best Wishes, Nancy
