Cottage stay

Had a wonderful, peaceful stay at the cottage while visiting family in Berkley. View of the river was fabulous. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of separate spaces for privacy. We would definitely come back.

A lovely home with a great view!

We come up to this area a couple of times per year and have rented a number of properties. This one is our new favorite. The house is clean, well-supplied, and in a quiet, friendly neighborhood right on the Taunton River. Joe was wonderfully responsive, and we had everything we needed. We particularly liked that all four of us could have separate sleeping rooms/areas that were very comfortable. Unlike other rentals that have quirks and broken things, Joe and his family really take care of this home like their own. It was bright, surprisingly spacious, and warm. We are excited to come back this summer and really enjoy the beautiful patio, grill, and fire pit and some recreation on the river. This is a winner!

GREAT Property!

This was by far one of my best finds on VRBO. The property was immaculate and well-stocked with everything a guest would need, as well as some very thoughtful welcome amenities. The deck was perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The water-edge location is beautiful! It is a great rental for exploring the Rhode Island and Massachusetts areas - centrally located for going on wonderful day trips in the region. Additionally, the host Joe, was awesome to work with and very kind. I highly recommend this property if you are in the area. We will be returning clients in the coming years while our daughter is attending school in RI. Again, GREAT Property!

Beautiful water cottage

We had a wonderful time with our family at your beautiful house! Thank you for going above and beyond for us, especially for providing the pack and play. The house was very clean and has everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We loved to go out on the deck to watch the sunrise.

Awesome getaway for girls' trip!

Beautiful house on the river - recently remodeled, and ALL the details are tended to - they thought of everything. Met the homeowners, and they were both wonderful. While the town itself is not touristy, don't discount it due to location. There are tons of fun things to do in surrounding areas, all within 30-45 minutes. When you are done, come back to the house, hang on the patio around the firepit, and relax with your family and/or friends. Best of both worlds!

Beautiful home

Really enjoyed our stay! The house was full of special touches and fun finds. The couch and beds were very comfortable I enjoyed the nautical decor so much. The owner was very quick responding. We really enjoyed our time and hope to visit in the future. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect Getaway

I cannot say enough good about this location. The house was amazing. It really is a cute waterfront cottage, but the pictures don't do it justice. The best trip is when the location exceeds your expectations! The family room is huge and there was plenty of room for our group to hang out in the evening. The massive patio is great for morning coffee, watching the ducks, fishing or catching the quiet calm in the morning. There are separate A/C controls in each room which were a life-saver during the heat wave that we were there for. We really liked that it was a quiet area-easily driveable to many locations, but out of the hustle and bustle of other touristy locations. Joseph's communication was top-notch. The check-in process was very easy and the binder that was there for us gave great information about not only the house but the location as well.

Extra large patio/deck with an amazing river view!

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. The extra large patio/deck offered plenty of space for our extended family (and friends) to cookout and spend quality time together. The owner was very easy to communicate with and offered a hassle-free check-in and checkout process. We will definitely book this property again for a future visit.

Great Vacation Stay

Our family loved our stay here. Great living space for just lounging and watching a movie. The view of the river is just beautiful in the morning. The host ensured we were comfortable, the place was clean and well taken care of. The kids loved it and so did the wife. We will definitely be staying again whenever we come back to visit family.
