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.

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.

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.

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.

Miss Daisy's Cottage is The Place To Be

Cottage is spotless from start to finish. There's everything you could need, just replace it if you use it all. State beach parking pass included, you can sleep up to 8 people in this 3 bdrm, 1 ba, extended cape. Wrap around porch with propane tank grill and outdoor shower with hot water.. They even have a baby gate! Beautiful neighborhood with immaculate landscape, and delicious local eats. Highly recommended 10/10.

Great place and host

Kathy was such a great host. One of the easiest to communicate with I’ve ever booked with. She was kind, informative, flexible and available. The place itself was spotless and very nice. Felt homey and quiet, great qualities for a quick relaxing get away. Location couldn’t have been better. Super short drive or very easy walk to the beach or the town’s amenities. Would recommend this spot and host to anyone.

Lovely place

This is our second visit to Miss Daisy Cottage. It is light and bright. From the front door you have a direct view to the rear of the cottage's sliding glass door to the deck, grill, and yard. Bedrooms had closets with hangers and plenty of drawer space in dressers. All appliances were in working order. Kitchen was well supplied to prepare meals with plenty of utensils, dinnerware and glassware. Beds were comfortable. Kathy is thoughtful of guests' needs. Oh and so many places to walk! Our schnauzer enjoyed that the most. The cottage is walking distance to the beach, a small market, and an ice cream shop. We did enjoy the Matunuck Oyster Bar for dinner but missed Ocean Mist for breakfast (friend's recommendation). Hope to return next year. Helen
