Words can’t express how happy we our that we found the Daisy cottage . The house itself is in a perfect location close enough to the bustle of the beach but far enough away for quiet and hearing the waves crashing the distance . We even watched two osprey chicks leave their home for the first time from a nest visible from the backyard . The host was easy to communicate with and the check in process a breeze ! Thank you for a perfect vacation! Our dog Daisy loved it too!

Great Family Vacation

Took the family to this location at the end of the summer right before school and everything was great. House was perfect for the 5 of us and our dog. Close walk to ice cream which was a daily treat for the family. An easy walk to the beach to look for shells.

Just What We Needed!

Cute and comfortable cottage. Very clean! Loved the quiet setting and the nice deck for having morning coffee with the bunnies scampering about and the birds chirping. Great central location for exploring the nooks and crannies of the southern coast of RI. Host was very accommodating and responsive.

Amazing beach cottage

This cottage is very well equipped, beautifully maintained, and in a perfect location. It’s in a quiet neighborhood where you can truly relax and enjoy your time away. It has one bathroom, but has the best outdoor shower so really having only one bathroom for 6 people was never an issue. It is so close to the beach, Ocean Mist, Vanilla Bean and the surf shop. We had a blast for our 3rd year in this cottage for our vacation. Highly recommended.

Quiet, cozy, and comfortable beach cottage

The house is pristine clean. The kitchen and bathroom are nice and updated. The host Kathy was very responsive. Bedrooms are small but there are 3 bedrooms so plenty of space for a family of 5. Nice location - very quiet neighborhood and walking distance to Matunuck beach, the market, ice cream. Perfect for a beach getaway.

The place was exactly as described and very fresh and clean. Short walk to the beach where we happened to catch a live music and art festival with a fantastic sunset as a backdrop. The little market around the corner was very convenient and the overall atmosphere very beachy and relaxed. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor shower and host was very responsive (though we didn't really need much as everything was so convenient. Great stay close to the BI ferry and lots of local attractions.
