Perfect Location
This cozy home is in a great location in a nice neighborhood and right on the water. The owner had several kayaks and a canoe that we enjoyed using. The owner was very helpful and communicative. She was very generous and had all supplies and towels fully stocked. We appreciated this very much! We visited at the beginning of August and the weather was perfect!
This house is listed as having two bathrooms. The house does not have two bathrooms. It has one small bathroom and an outdoor shower that is not enclosed. We were disappointed to learn this upon arrival as we had six people sharing one bathroom for an entire week.
There were also ants in the kitchen that attacked our food. The owner was extremely responsive and immediately came out to spray. We kept all food sealed in plastic bags the rest of the week.

Great stay on the bay
Our family had a wonderful time at Donna’s cottage. It’s the quintessential New England beach front home. The kitchen is very well stocked to make meals. There are two grocery stores a few minutes away. Donna provided us with plenty of towels for the beach and bath. Our children enjoyed swimming, bobbing around in the peaceful bay on the numerous floats available and collecting shells and sea glass right outside their door! We roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and listened to the waves. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were friendly. We loved our vacation and hope to return! Donna was a warm and welcoming host. She was easy to reach with any questions we had.

Summer Beach House
It was a wonderful small beach house, right on the water. You couldn’t ask for a nicer spot, to relax enjoy the water view and boats . Private beach allowed us to spend most of our time at the house. We enjoyed the floats and canoe provided by the owner. We also fished, went clamming , and had a great time catching a baby blowfish in our drag net. My 5 year old granddaughter is asking to go back again next year. Great memories were made! 🏖

We absolutely loved Donna’s place. The location and the views of the bay are superb! The house is very well equipped with dishes, kitchenware, sheets, towels, beach chairs, fire pit, kayaks. Makes the stay there so enjoyable and carefree.
We went to polo, Bristol, the vineyards in Little Compton & Portsmouth, downtown Newport. We’ll be back.

Perfect Location
The house had everything you would need: kayaks, canoe, paddles, water shoes, towels, linens, kitchen items, fire pit and grill. The location is perfect. Portsmouth has many nice restaurants and it is a short drive to Newport. Walk outside and you are at the water. It is a little rocky but the water is great for swimming and boating. The view is incredible. We actually didn't want to go out much because it was so relaxing just sitting by the water. We would definitely stay there again.

Peaceful week by the water
My husband and I brought our two small children down to Portsmouth for the week to get away from it all and get some space. We found everything we were looking for and more at the house. Being right on the water was wonderful because the baby could nap while we swam with our daughter, so we didn't have to plan outings we had everything at our fingertips. We loved all of the toys, floats, boats and umbrellas that made our water adventures that much more fun. The ACs made the bedrooms comfortable for sleeping. We loved how many towels were provided because we were swimming so much. We bought water shoes the first day because the beach was rocky, and they enabled us to walk up and down the shore. We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to come back. It's a perfect house for a family with small children.

FABULOUS 🌅
I was looking for a vacation rental for my husband, our daughter, and my elderly parents. I could not have found a more perfect spot!!!
Donna was amazing. Not only did she have everything our heart could desire on hand, but was also quick to answer any questions. From The view, to The kayaks and canoe, the fire pit, the washer/dryer, the PRIVACY, even a huge Lobster pot to cook our seafood outside by the water!
My parents, who are in their 80s, had no problem getting in and out of the house and accessing the outside and my 11 year old and her friend had the time of their life!
Thank you so much!! We are definitely planning to come back next year. This has changed the entire way we will vacation going forward.
Oh and let me just mention the view again. Absolutely phenomenal ❤️

This home is located on a beautiful spot on the river. The mornings watching the sunrise were magical. We enjoyed sitting by the water, looking for the perfect seashells and just being at the waters edge. The host was very gracious and accommodating. Donna answered every text promptly and kindly. The house was clean and had every kind of accommodation you can think of. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Spectacular
I spent a wk. here with my friend of more than 30 years, we both really needed a break from the world and the cottage and location fulfilled that need perfectly. The house was awesome, plenty roomy and spotless. The grounds and access to the water also excellent. The owner's managed to obtain a second kayak for us last minute and we kayaked every day. Spectacular sunrise and sunsets!. Highly recommend this house and location. It was just far enough away from Newport but yet close enough to still visit. However the house was so peaceful we struggled with leaving it to go to Newport!. Thank you for sharing your peaceful and beautiful home.

Lovely, cozy, picturesque, inviting home
We stayed at this cottage as a family of 5 (parents and three little girls) and had a wonderful time. The home is cozy, the three individual bedrooms were more than enough room for us. Functional, updated and stocked kitchen was great to meal prep. Comfy beds (loved those pillows), and eat in or eat out on the enclosed deck. The view is stunning (literally on the water), and we enjoyed walking on the private beach (bring water shoes), using the supplied kayak and canoe, or just having coffee and relaxing. Very quiet neighborhood and no problem with the home or communicating with owners. Would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing vacation!

Beautiful Spot on Sagonnet Bay
The cottage is situated on a great spot on the bay. It was beautifully cleaned and organized when we arrived. The owners went out of their way to respond quickly to any requests we had--they are terrific--very accommodating and helpful. There is a swimming area a few hundred yards from the cottage, so you don't need to go to a bigger beach unless you want to (we never used our beach cart--what a relief). The area is private, and only a few people have access to the beach, which is wonderful. It's a bit rocky, so water shoes are a must, but the water was warm and pretty calm. The screened porch is lovely, and the house was always comfortable, even though it was very warm. The house is small, and there aren't a lot of places to put things, so we had our guests come in small groups, but it worked out OK. Dogs truly are welcome, which is an unusual plus. Another advantage is that the cottage is very close to grocery stores and services, and there is even a Market Basket in Fall River, about 8 miles away. We had a wonderful, relaxing two weeks there and would definitely return if possible.

Great place for to gather and relax on a summer evening! Loved it!
We were all very happy with our stay here. The owners are so cooperative, the house is spotless and surprisingly roomy for a cottage, plus ample parking for day guests. The rocky beach was great for treasure hunting and allowing our dog was the best advantage of all. We enjoyed the local wineries, shops and the wildlife refuge/bird sanctuaries, and 2nd beach. Most of all we enjoyed the back yard, a fire pit and the view over the bay. Thank-you, we hope to stay again.

Pure Relaxation
We had a wonderful week. The cottage was exactly what we expected, and we had high expectations. It was cozy and perfectly situated on the water. The screened porch was the perfect place to read and relax, have a meal with a view, and listen to the water.
The lawn was a great place to sun and watch the goings on on the water. Our hosts thoughtfully provided everything we needed and more - from water and coffee to lounging chairs, kayak and canoe.
If you want a calm place to relax. This is just the place.
