About this property

Relaxing Island Cottage Private setting close to water, ready for you.

“The Cottage” is an ideal vacation home for that special time to reclaim your life for a week or two (or longer). It has comfortable accommodations for up to 4 people in 2 bedrooms. Available for shorter term in the off season and weekly throughout the summer. If you want to eat in, we have a fully equipped kitchen with cathedral ceilings and skylight, for laundry there’s a washer & dryer. 1 bathroom w/shower inside plus an outside hot shower at the spacious back deck with a Weber gas grill, a private back yard, nice covered front porch for morning coffee while the sun rises, Wi-Fi 5G fiberoptic internet for e time , bedroom cabinets & hanging closet for plenty of clothes space and wood floors throughout. The bathroom floor and walls have been recently re-tiled .The house is furnished with 1 queen & 1 full size bed and all kitchen utensils (some say enough for a banquet). There are several swimming areas and a small boat launch very close by. Golf course is 5 minutes down the road. Located in a quiet and private neighborhood, about a 10 minute bicycle ride to the town center, plenty of off street parking. Located at East Shore Rd. and Decatur Ave. This is a great place as a quieter alternative to a busier town but with very quick access to those types of areas. Jamestown's a great place for bicycle riding, boating, beaching / swimming, walking, fishing, golfing or doing nothing. Quality restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries and parks create a genuine village feeling at the town center. Take an easy 10 minute scenic ride over the Newport Pell bridge to visit Newport for a day touring in the city by the sea or take the passenger ferry (bring your bicycle) to Newport. Guests can also catch a ride on the Block Island Ferry from Newport or the Martha’s Vineyard Ferry from North Kingstown . Both ferries will have you at their destination in about 1.5 hrs.
Treat yourself to an island vacation that you have only dreamed of doing. Leave the harried pace behind to come explore an area rich in history, culture and tranquility. It’s an easy 3 – 4 hr. drive from most places in the northeast, NY & NJ. Why not?
Our 5 star reviews reflect the level of satisfaction our past guests have had. You could be the next to experience “The Cottage”.
This isn't rustic, some may say it's quaint or cozy, but I call it a small, simply beautiful island cottage that can make your summer a truly enjoyable one to remember. Bring your bicycles, kayak, surfboards / windsurfers, golf clubs, books, fishing gear or yard games. We have the grill, deck furniture and island ambiance.
Book early as reservations start to come in early January.
This is a non smoking property and we do not allow pets for the comfort of all our guests.

Weekly rentals start at end of May and go to early Sept. Rental period must be made to go Saturday to Saturday, no exceptions for the summer period. Be sure to adhere to this when making reservation request. Spring and fall 3 night minimum and can be any days of the week as available. Also inquire about longer terms for the winter.

Peaceful relaxing getaway
Greatly enjoyed our 5-day stay at the beautiful cozy cottage just outside Jamestown, Rhode Island. The cottage had all the amenities we needed to relax and unwind. Easy access 5-10 minute drive to Newport, an hour to Plymouth,and 1 hour and 30 minutes to Boston. Would highly recommend, thank you Marty for your hospitality!

Snug and Cozy Cottage
The cottage is snug but well laid out. The kitchen is unusually well supplied. The back deck, with grill, table and outdoor shower, is a real plus, as is the front porch..They effectively expand the living space. location is perfect, quiet with an easy bike ride into town. It's well maintained, and Marty, our host, couldn’t have been more friendly, responsive and helpful.

Jamestown Gem
We spent one of our most enjoyable vacations ever at this quaint little cottage. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, the place was appointed wonderfully, location was great and convenient to so many things! We are definitely planning on returning next year. (Would prefer to keep it a "secret" but had to share as the host is such a great guy and was ready and willing to help us when we had an emergency locking ourselves out of the house.)

The big “Itch”
One of the benefits with staying here is the great digging for littlenecks just in front of the cottage. This year they got back at me, I got the “Clam diggers itch” which is caused by a small invisible parasite. The clams were good but I paid the price! ! Next year, a wet suit!

Amazing and cozy retreat!
I never leave reviews, but this place was so perfect for our cozy Fall girl's weekend that I couldn't resist! It's the perfect home base to get to Newport, and you are also close to Jamestown which has some great restaurants and views. The place was so clean and had everything we could need/want. You can't go wrong!

Darling, comfortable cottage minutes from great sites.
My husband and sister in law were with me in Jamestown to visit their grandsparents' neighborhood from the 50s and 60s. The cottage was spotless and well equiped. Tasteful and comfortable. Marty was very responsive to any questions. We just wished we could stay a bit longer!

Lovely cottage, great location
This little cottage is perfect for a getaway. It was pristine clean upon arrival. The location (close to town) is so very nice and quiet, with forest on one side of property. Kitchen is well supplied with necessary tools for preparing meals. Internet a little spotty and when we had it, fairly slow. But, other than that, great vrbo house. Will definitely check this house again for future stays.

Privacy and quiet
The home is perfect. Clean! Situated next to a green space, all I heard was crickets and frogs. The owner has provided everything you need for comfort and responds quickly via the app if you have any questions. The kitchen is fully equipped. The front porch is the perfect place for an end-of-day glass of wine or coffee in the morning. It's an easy 10-15 minute drive into Newport but don't skip visiting the town center of Jamestown. I hated to leave. If you're thinking about staying here, don't hesitate.

Perfect Hideaway
This little gem was perfect for my wife and me. It was exactly as advertised - Not a huge house but very well stocked, comfortable, in a quiet area but only a short drive to all types of activities. Only minutes from Narragansett and Newport. We had a great time wandering around Fort Wetherill State Park in Jamestown as well as the "downtown" area along Narragansett ave where there are plenty of nice places to eat. Another day we took a trip into Newport to do the Cliff Walk. Here is a great tip...Park at the Newport Transportation and visitor's Centre. The city trolleys are free during the summer and the driver will give you a voucher that will lower the parking to $5.00. If the driver has none, go in the visitors centre and ask for one. Host Marty was an absolute joy to deal with. All our questions were answered promptly and accurately. He even provided a big bag of ice in the freezer so we could enjoy a nice cold beverage after a long drive to Rhode Island. The front and back decks are spacious and great for relaxing with a morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks, Marty!

Mother & Son Getaway
Was true to site listing and an easy ride to the bridge off island. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the side chair in living room and add an ottoman. Appreciated the savings offered by bringing own sheets and towels. Weather was not the best, but the cottage was cozy and dry. Would rent again!

Jamestown cottage
We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The cottage was extremely clean and had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. The location was less than 10 mins to restaurants and points of interest. The drive to Newport was also 10 minutes away. I highly recommend the cottage and Marty’s hospitality and well thought out conveniences.

Quaint cottage in a beautiful part of RI
The cottage is lovely! It's easily accessible and a perfect location for either going to the waters edge of for a quick trip into town. Jamestown has some of the best restaurants in RI so you don't have to go far for a great meal. The cottage has an "Outdoor" shower, as well as an indoor shower, but the outdoor shower was our favorite.We had the best stay we have anywhere in a long time! We can't wait to go back next year!

The cottage was clean, well equipped and located in the quiet community of Jamestown across from Newport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was nice to come "home" and relax after a busy day of activity. Jamestown was lovely.....even though one major restaurant had closed. Would highly recommend for the accomodations and location.

Perfect place to stay in one of our favorite places; Jamestown is the best!
We just returned from a week at The Cottage. To begin with, Marty was excellent to deal with, from the reservation, to the check in, to the stay, and even the departure. Simply a terrific host. The Cottage is as described....cute, cozy, indoor and outdoor living spaces, and only minutes to everything. Many of the reviews mention the outdoor shower; we (three adults) never used the indoor one! Part of the overall experience, and a lasting memory. The house is well equipped, as described. The three window A/C units did the job, even with a few hot and humid days. Marty gives you access to the garage, which was great to store our bikes. We loved every time we headed to town seeing the beauty of the Newport Bridge, and actually caught a full moon coming up UNDER the bridge as it rose. Amazing. I would say the only thing we could have used in the kitchen was that wasn't there was a large bowl for pasta and/or salad. We made do with using a pan instead. There was even a large vase, which came in handy as a visitor brought flowers. Finally, we only gave a 4 for location. Just know that it is on one of the main roads which was always busy, and during our week was extra loud as there were constant construction vehicles doing road paving. I have a feeling we will be back to The Cottage. Thanks Marty!

A wonderful Summer!
We spent 6 weeks at Marty’s this Summer and had a wonderful time. House is clean and well appointed with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Outdoor shower and window A/C units in every room were perfect as it was a very hot Summer. Short ride or 20 min walk to town for coffee and breakfast, 5 mins to Newport and 15 mins to Narragansett. All of our meals at the house were out on the deck with the grill which was lovely. There’s also beach chairs which is super handy so you don’t have to bring your own. Marty was available at a moments notice for questions (even sailing recommendations!) and for a few small things that needed to be attended to at the house. Not a ton of indoor living space but was fine for 2 of us and any time we had friends or family to stay, we spent most of the time outside.

About the host

Hosted by Marty Casey

Host profile image
Marty grew up in Newport and then moved to Jamestown to raise his family. After 20 years he now lives with his wife, Martha, back in Newport. They enjoy their grandsons, the local beaches (especially surfing), traveling, bicycling, sailing, gardening and hosting their cottage guests.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is maintained and updated to ensure our guests are comfortable and will enjoy their stay. The cottage is featured in an historical book published by a local historian. Conveniently located near direct roads but removed enough to enjoy island tranquility. Guests can enjoy their own deck, back yard, and living areas without distraction from other vacationers as in a shared complex or building.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is set close to water front access areas and other family style activities. For those that want nightlife ...you can be in Newport in 7 minutes! Close to the town center and great restaurants. All the amenities of an apartment or condo but you have the privacy of your own house. A quiet neighbor hood with only a few single family residences nearby.
