We completely enjoyed our brief stay over graduation weekend at Sea Change cottage. It’s just as beautiful as Noelle’s other house and the location on the water was gorgeous. We were only here two nights with a busy schedule but would gladly spend a week relaxing here. All the amenities you need are here for you and the special decor touches make it extra welcoming. Noelle is very responsive to questions and is a very thoughtful host. We highly recommend!

This property is decorated beautifully, with nice appliances, beds were super comfy and the house was extremely cleaned and well maintained. The sunrise view was amazing. Unexpected snow hit, and the owner was right there to shovel and salt. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanted a get away to RI.

My family stayed here for a vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the water and the warmth of the fireplace. The house was a perfect location for us to take trips to surrounding areas like Newport, Providence and Cape Cod. We would happily return for another stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Change Cottage! It was beautifully decorated and had so many wonderful touches to make our stay comfortable. The property is located in a peaceful residential area with direct access to the water. We enjoyed being close to Newport & Bristol, but being able to come back and relax in such a peaceful location. We chose to spend the majority of our time at the cottage; relaxing on the deck, playing games (many favorites were in the game cupboard), and swimming. The views from the deck and inside the house were fantastic! Noelle was very responsive to any messages and included a binder full of recommendations for anything we could need. We would definitely stay here again!

What a lovely place! It was very well appointed. Our host was very responsive to any questions we may have had. Beautiful location right on the water. Breathtaking sunrises if you are an early bird. We had a delightful breeze sweeping throughout the house most days and only used the AC a couple of days, but it’s so nice to have that option. Restaurants are within walking distance if you don’t mind a short walk and they were reasonably priced as well. There is a grill outside and plenty of cookware inside if you decide to cook. We loved the house we often just wanted to stay in and enjoy it. Our visiting friends agreed that ordering in was preferable to going out on a few days. My elderly parents visited and were in heaven. There’s a smart tv, so make sure you know your login details for streaming services. We also had a great time with one of the puzzles. I am not someone who usually is into that sort of thing, but my husband took one out and everyone got involved! It turned out to be a great activity that allowed us to interact and just enjoy each other’s company. Really nice.

I have been staying at VRBO homes for seven years now. With that said I can honestly say this was to loveliest, cleanest, comfortable home I have entered. It was nicer than the pictures. The owners who revamped this adorable cottage have perfect taste in everything from the furniture, to the linens, to the hangers in the closet. And the views, incredible. The owners, so lovely to deal with. It was an easy, breezy kind of stay. A couple of chilly mornings and just fired up that sweet fireplace and the whole house got cozy warm in minutes. The lighting, the dishes and even the beer glasses in the freezer, everything done with impeccable taste.I will definitely return.
