About this property

Beachfront 6-bedroom cottage, Step right onto the beach! 30 min. to Newport.

In this beautiful coastal town of Charlestown, Rhode Island, experience life in our lovely SEASIDE 6-bedroom, 3 bathroom cottage! Perfect for family gatherings, with a 4 bedroom main cottage, and an attached 2 bedroom guest cottage. Seaside is available by the week, Saturday to Saturday during the SUMMER (June through the first week of September.) For the Summer season, we only rent the entire 6 bedroom together. It is available on off season booking for four days or more. It is available to be rented as the main cottage OR guest during the OFF season.

The perfect location for that SEASIDE vacation with the extended family. Nestled right in the dunes with a direct view of the ocean, the beach and Block Island. Only a few steps over the dunes, and you are on the beach!
Enjoy free WiFi, TV with ROKU, full kitchen set up in both cottages. There are various areas for relaxing on the couches or chairs, the deck, and a patio below. Plenty of parking! Umbrellas and beach games are available for your use.

Plan your day ......a walk over the dunes for an early morning dip , relaxing on the deck with a book, driving just a couple of minutes to the Deli on the corner of Charlestown beach Rd., where there are great sandwiches, wonderful croissants for breakfast and ice cream cones. Close enough so you can just grab, and eliminate the cooking! Return to the cottage, to enjoy a relaxing lunch, on the deck, or take it to the beach! More swimming and beach games for the afternoon and then it is outside shower time. There are foot buckets at the bottom of the stairs which are a extremely helpful to keep the sand off of the wood floors. Drinks, dinner, and relaxing on the deck is a grreat way to finish off the day with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset.

The grill is below on the patio where there are chairs and a table to sit and get out of the sun.

In the cottage, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, microwave, lobster pot, coffee maker, kettle, blender, kitchen island, toaster, and all the dishes and utensils you need to whip up delicious meals. Relax in the living room or on the deck, to take in the ocean views. Just a few steps and you are on the beach for the little ones to create sandcastles! With 3 bathrooms, towels, basic soaps, a hair dryer, an iron and board, and linens, you'll have all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Unwind on the deck, looking out to Block Island. or enjoy the outdoor furniture as you soak in the stunning natural surroundings.
We are just steps away from a boat rental, where you can explore the inner waters of the ocean. There is a little snack and drink shop which is fun for the older children to walk to for independent time. There is fishing from the breachway or bridge and miles of beach to stroll along on a sunny day or moonlit night.

The main cottage has 6 bedrooms. Two large rooms upstairs with a bath, and a bunk room and double on the main floor, with a bath. There are two sitting areas. T.V. area or view of the ocean area. Lots of widows, and almost every one looks out to the ocean!

The guest cottage has 2 bedrooms. A queen bedroom and a bunk room. There is also a complete kitchen, bathroom, dining area and living room. There is a deck that connects to the main cottage deck. Wonderful sunsets fill the cottage in the late afternoon.,

The patio below has chairs, table and a grill. There is also an outside shower for rinsing off the beach day sand. There is a clothesline there to hang your wet items, to be dry for the next beach day.

We have water delivered twice a week. This is more than sufficient if you are cautious with your usage. If you do run out the well will kick in, and supply water for you. It is very clean, but with a salty taste. We are on the ocean!!! A wonderful little treat!!! If you would like to have additional water brought in, there is an additional charge of $150.00. Conservative us of water is requested. Seems the long outside showers seem to be the weak spot! Who does not want a nice outside shower, after a day at the beach.

The ocean offers a continual breeze for all to enjoy. There are fans throughout the cottage, to assist if needed. The breeze often builds into a stronger wind, and it is necessary to put umbrellas down and be careful of the doors, as it will grab anything in its path. It is suggested that children use the sliders, to avoid the pull of the wind, which could be too strong for a little one.

FOOT BUCKETS are what saves our wood floors. We have wood floors, throughout, except for the kitchen and bath, which are slate. If you rinse before going up the stairs, your feet will be dry and clean by the time you reach the top!

Seaside
Incredible stay at this amazingly situated seaside cottage. Perfect "getaway" for a family. Amazing views of the ocean from nearly every window! Beautifully cared for cottage - you will end up spending most of your time on the deck gazing at the sea and listening to the waves crash. Highly recommend.

Perfect for Kids, Families, and Friends
We were fortunate enough to get a booking here and it was a fantastic experience. The owner was great with communicating. The property itself was ideal for our mixed group which included children. We had days of sun on the beautiful beach - clear water just at your feet! And we also had some rain but the location was close to great areas of interest. We ended up staying in anyway as the accommodations were comfortable and welcoming. It’s the personal touches that truly got me too - when we arrived they had set out dollhouses and age-appropriate toys because they were aware of the kids! So thoughtful! Can’t wait to return next summer!

Amazing Labor Day Weekend....
Seaside is perfect for a relaxing beach getaway! Lorna was so communicative and awesome, and you can tell that she loves this house so much! The house was very clean and well maintained, both inside and out. Well stocked with beach chairs and accessories. Because it's directly on the water, it does run on a water tank, so be sure to bring your own linens and drinking water- but this is typical for any of the houses in the Charlestown area. We rented out both sides, so we had all 6 bedrooms for a family gathering and it was perfect. The best part of this house is definitely the location and the amazing views. You are directly on the oceanfront, right next door to the public beach -but you have your own private beach area that is roped off and kept very clean. In the mornings, the east bedrooms have amazing sunrise views and the deck is a perfect place to enjoy a sunrise coffee in the morning. You have a clear view of Block Island and the boats passing by. We had a relaxing, wonderful stay. Highly recommended.

Beware
Overpriced with house in very poor condition. During the course of the week we had major electrical and plumbing problems as well as multiple breakages and malfunctions. The owner denied most problems although renters from the week before had also said their stay was a nightmare of maintenance problems. Furthermore, the home was not clean. When we went to use the oven there was an old pizza box with old pizza in it, we had ant problems the whole time, and the place looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. This is a very overpriced property and I would not recommend it Eve and Tom

Misleading
Beach is NOT private or isolated. It is a roped off section of a town beach. We caught a mouse while there-mouse droppings all over kitchen counter. The couch literally exploded with stuffing coming out. The kitchen was missing so much. The bedding was visibly dirty. The owner was responsive when there was a problem. Look around for other less expensive 6 bedrooms on the same strip before you book this property. It is NOT worth the money. No refund when requested either as she said we left it a mess!!!! IT WAS A MESS. I have never left a review before-Nevermind a negative one but I wish I had read this before I booked.

Amazing property. Can’t pick a better location!
We had an amazing week at Seaside. Kids could go to the beach, walk to Johnny Angels, walk to the breachway to fish, walk to the pond to rent kayaks. And the house is super comfortable for large groups. And you can’t beat the view!! I would definitely rent it again. Thanks Lorna!

UNBEATABLE LOCATION
Comparing notes with friends and family who also took beach vacations this summer, I’m glad we chose Seaside. First, for the Rhode Island beaches—easy to get to, low-key, not crowded. And this beach was quite lovely, especially since we were perched on a deck right over it. Nothing more restorative than gazing out at that gigantic horizon and expanse of uninterrupted blue…except for sleeping to the sound of surf. We spent a lot of time on the deck, as it features all the benefits of the beach with none of the ordeal of getting to it or sitting on it! The house was wonderfully situated, and comfortable in a laid-back, beachy way; I especially appreciated the decent mattresses upstairs. The configuration of the house turned out to be the best of its features: we four “older” adults inhabited the main abode (btw for couples, a short hall separates the 2 queen bedrooms upstairs, there is no door or curtain) and my 3 adult children who stay up all night inhabited the apartment (queen, small bunkroom), so we didn’t suffer from each other’s schedules though we used only the main kitchen and ate all our dinners together. The kitchen is well kitted out (although some lids for the pots would be nice) and we made full use of the fresh seafood and produce and pie stand up the street. Our best adventure was a day on Block Island, right across the sound, where we rented bikes and mopeds and toured the entire island. Even though I’m not a beach person, I’d return to this rental. Thank you, Lorna!

Stunning Labor Day Weekend
We arrived for a long labor day weekend....5 couples. There is no better property for view, location and access to your private beach. The bunk bed rooms were small. There is a large master bedroom upstairs. Each floor has a full bath. The attached apartment has a full stocked kitchen, full bath, a bed bunk room and another with double bed. We had great weather so most of our time was spent on the deck/beach. There is nothing missing from this rental. The property was clean & maintained. We would definitely go back.

Awesome end of summer weekend
What an Awesome house. Location is great, cant get any better then on the beach. There was plenty of room for all in my party. The description was right on point and the Owner's response to my questions was immediate. We rented the entire house for the weekend and it worked out perfect. You can tell how much the owner cares because of the wonderful updated floors are beautifule and the couches are comfortable and best of all listening to the waves crashing while you fall asleep. It's location is convienent to the taste of Mystic and Point Judith. After the first shower you learn not to open you mouth or eyes( you are on the ocean) but other than that it was a wondrful weekend in a beautiful house. Cant wait for next year. Thanks

A true seaside cottage
Desparate to get to the beach, I inquired about this property since I wasn't sure how many people/families from my group would be going and the ad said sleeps 4-12. Well, lucky for us the side for 4 was open! (Who knew we'd be lucky enough to be at the beach?!) Because the owner was so accomodating we were able to pull off a wonderful 3 days right on Charlestown Beach in her little beach cottage. I just read the other reviews and can confirm the location, location, location! Also I just saw the recommendation for the Matunuck Oyster Bar. Luckily we found that on our own and had a great meal in spite of the pouring rain (entrees got soaked upon delivery, but were still good). We saw a terrific "light show" and fortunately recieved our meal prior to the restaurant losing power. We were glad we had power at the house when we returned! Also glad the "master" bedroom had a ceiling fan and more glad we brought a small one from home. I suggest you bring one because if you have to close the windows due to rain, it does get pretty stuffy, otherwise there is a great breeze! Having just gotten a smaller car, we were thrilled beach chairs and umbrellas were found right under the house en route to the beach and when done with them you drop them off right next to the outdoor shower! Yep, the shower is salty, A new experience but not terrible. I guess it could be handy if you have a sore throat. We noticed no smells expect the fabulous salt air. Our last night we "took out" food from the Breachway Grille. Half of it was ready before the rest, and we had to wait so some items didn't travel as well as others, but overall it was very good. I bet if you ate there it would have been even better. For us, we were having such a terrific beach day and early evening we chose to stay on the deck, so a little soggy food, was worth it! If you are willing to sacrifice some space* for location on a terrific beach, rent this cottage. *We were 2 adults and 2 grown kids with another visiting for the day. It's perfect if the weather is good, cozy if it isn't. It's probably ideal for a couple with small children.

Family Fun!
This worked out perfectly for our family! We brought our two children, their spouses and and 3 grandchildren. The deck overlooking the ocean was perfect - you can't find a better view in any restaurant so we really enjoyed eating dinner on the deck (when we weren't at the Matunick Oyster Bar). We rented both sides of the house so we could have privacy. The location is also great as the mini supermarket had everything you need and was close by with no traffic to get there. A lot easier for us coming from CT than going to the Cape. Great waves and the water was warmer too. The outdoor shower was perfect - I don't think anyone used the indoor showers at all! As one reviewer noted, the water is salty, but there was plenty of Poland Springs provided and to be expected if you are this close to the beach. The bedrooms were small, but the open living/kitchen/dining area was roomy enough for all of us. The stairs are steep, so we brought gates to block the toddlers' access. It is an older cottage so doesn't have all the brand new construction amenities but the beautiful location more than made up for that!

Awesome location!
We stayed in the smaller guest house in July and had a wonderful time. This location is awesome, the beach is literally steps from the house. In fact, we loved it so much that we are returning for the last two weeks of August and renting the larger main house. It was just heavenly and I have no reservations recommending this place.

NIce place but some issues
Beautiful location right on the beach. Spacious and comfortable. We had 11 in our party and it was very comfortable for the weekend. Nice deck. Close to shops and restaurants...a short drive. Again...beautiful location. Not so wonderful was no fresh water for bathing, cooking etc. Bottled water is provided, but if we had to stay longer than a weekend the salt water bathing would be an issue. The guest house bedrooms were small and the bathroom could use an update. Beds were hard. Also, there was quite a strong smell of sewage from the deck in the evening. (septic issues?). Owner has a lengthly list of cleaning expected to be done on your departure.

About the host

Host profile image
I was Born in Rhode Island , and grew up on Great Island, a little island over in Galilee in Narragansett. URI graduate, as are my three girls. I am a teacher, as was my Mom and Grandmother, and one daughter. I have been living on the water every summer since I can remember. I owned and operated and taught at my Early Childhood Center in Nashua NH, but spent my Summers and Weekends in our cottage in East Matunuck. I love children, music and the ocean. Do a bit of photography and painting when time allows. LOVE THE BEACH!!!! And I an lucky enough to be at the beach, so I am lucky enough!!

Why they chose this property

LOVE the beach and this piece of property hurt my heart when I saw it. The color of the ocean, the smell of the sea , the beautiful beach, the solitude and the View, took my breath away. It is four lots. ... I have three daughters....perfect fit!

What makes this property unique

It is MINE! Lol. The ocean....the sand, the surf, and the gentle salty breezes! We also are lucky enough to have no close neighbors! Just the perfect spot to enjoy and relax! In this busy life we all lead, we have earned some time to enjoy the SEASIDE! Many people are not this lucky! To wake up and hear the surf and to lie in bed, watching the shimmer of the moon on the water! Really!! Could you ask for more?? Not me! To me that is as good as it gets! I would love to share it with you. Great for family gatherings! The guest quarters is a perfect place to put the grandparents and a couple of grandchildren....as it has its own set up, and allows for a little privacy from the family group. The Main cottage and the Guest Cottage will be $11,550 and the both cottages will have 6 bedrooms and the price for Main Cottage only will be $8,250 and the main cottage offers four bedrooms and the Guest Cottage will be available on a price $4,550 for two bedrooms and it is rented by the week only which is Saturday.
