Serene, modern cottage tucked away on the water but less than 1 minute from quaint town of Historic East Greenwich. Our stay was filled with scenic views, amazing nearby restaurants, and peace in a cozy updated super-clean cottage. It was perfect and better than described. The hosts were immediately responsive and very kind and welcoming. We will be back!

We had the most amazing time at this place with our 3 boys. The most thoughtful and gracious host we have ever had on VRBO. They are quick to respond if you need them. They thought of everything you need in a home away from home. Laundry detergent, bathroom toiletries, full kitchen with cleaning and trash bags. Everything is labeled, the views and peace by the water for us was just what we needed. Our boys played games every night that they also supplied. We used the kayaks, fished on the dock, and rode the bikes. The little town was amazing to walk. The house was clean, well cared for. We are so thankful we found this place. We would come back again if we are in the area.
