Almost a Five Star Review

Excellent overall stay with one hiccup keeping this rating from being 5 stars. The wifi router is in the other unit (trolly car) and the signal from it is absolutely nonexistent in the cottage, thus rendering the available wifi unavailable and the "smart tv" not so smart. This was a bit of a hassle as we were on a working vacation but if solid wifi isn't a priority than you'll have no worries here. Missing a good portion of the Olympic coverage was a disappointment as we are Olympic junkies and were looking forward to viewing the games when the days would wind down.

Great location

The house was big enough for the 3 of us. Cute little house, had every thing you needed. The private beach is rocky but so quiet and peaceful. The trolley did take up part of the view, but what a great of piece of history to see. We enjoyed our stay.

A perfect spot for a getaway!

We loved this cottage! Away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything you want to do. The cottage was very clean and had every amenity needed. The kids (8 and 10) loved the bunk bed and walking to the ocean. Definitely bring water shoes or even Crocks worked great- it's very rocky at the beach but the sunsets were gorgeous. The trolley car was rented at the same time so it was a little awkward walking past them each time heading to the water but they were very nice! All the neighbors were very quiet. Two small fans are provided in the bedrooms, as well as a large ceiling fan in the living room. You might want to bring a larger fan with you as I'm sure on hot, humid nights they provide very little relief. Besides wishing the bathroom window had a curtain or privacy glass I would say the cottage is just perfect for a family getaway.

Amazing location... but no towels/sheets!

3.5 stars Our party consisted of two adults and one 5 yr old. If the property was listed accurately, or if Ashley had committed to changing the description/pictures to be more accurate, or this place were less expensive, including the cleaning fee, we would have rated it higher.... PROS: 1) The location is MAGICAL - right on the beach with shade options throughout the day. Yes the trolley house blocks the view, but with just a few steps you can have an unobstructed view.... 2) Ashley and Jay were nice. Jay did the amazing restoration/construction of the trolley house next door and shared some really fun history of that project. Ashley was able to supply us with sheets and towels when I called her.... 3) The kitchen has what you need to prepare a meal, and the deck was the perfect setting for most of our meals. And a new sponge was provided, which as someone sensitive to stinky sponges, I was grateful for this detail!.... CONS 1) The pictures of this property show fully made beds; no where in the (VRBO app) description or amenities section does it note sheets and towels are not provided; and the house rules that Ashley sent after I booked said towels/linen are not allowed off the property. All this implies towels/linens are included, so it was a big surprise to just find mattress covers. I called Ashley, and as stated on the Pros, she came by in an hour to deliver sheets and towels; however, she was defensive and blamed VRBO and didn't seem to acknowledge that the description, rules document, and pictures are highly misleading. It didn't sound like she planned to change them to be more accurate =/ Apparently this is a recent change; I hope she'll update all the material so future guests know about this!... 2) The cleaning was OK - brown or dusty smears on some of the pillows/mattress covers, and old coffee and filter still in the coffee maker. Not a big deal for us though. 3) The curtains are thin, so bring trash bags or something else to block the light if you/kids need darkness to sleep.... 4) As another review noted, you get just two extra toilet paper rolls. The rolls are thin, perhaps for the septic system, so they go faster than normal. We had just enough. 5) Neighbors had some foul language at times.... Lastly, not a pro/con, keep in mind -no air conditioning. On the days with a good ocean breeze, we were comfortable with fans going. On the warm humid breezeless nights, it was less comfortable. Thanks for an overall lovely stay!

Amazing sunset view

We spent the 4th of July weekend at this lovely cottage. We have 2 daughters, ages 11 and 13 and we were very comfortable. Keep the windows and screen door open for the evening breeze! It's a very nice area with access to Newport ~15-20 mins away and also Bristol which is also very nice, especially on July 4th! If you take day trips you will want to come back to the property in time to see the sunset. It's amazing. The views from the beach are fantastic. I would recommend bringing water shoes as the beach is a bit rocky. Great place!
