Our stay at Regina’s beach cottage was wonderful!
Our family of 5 stayed an entire month and we were able to do so much! Charlestown is a very rural, chill, beach town yet has everything you need nearby and lots of things to do in town and in nearby towns!
The house is comfortable and well set up with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and a third bedroom and 2nd bathroom downs stairs. Open-space living, dining and kitchen allowed us to share lots of time together. The back yard was awesome for the kids to play soccer and also has an excellent grill and outdoor shower(water pressure a little low but does the job!)- very private and tranquil. The front yard and porch area were comfortable for drinking coffee/wine and enjoying the breeze off the salt pond. The neighborhood was the best part as it is quiet and lots of friendly neighborhoods- kids could bike freely and safely around the block. A quick walk(literally 1 minute) to put a kayak in the salt pond or play in the sand and splash around (water is a bit dirty for actual swimming but we floated and waded around). The ocean beach was a little far to walk with kids but without kids not bad maybe 20 mins and on a bike would be very quick! There is a beach Pass provided so usually we drove a quick five mins to the ocean-charlestown town beach (only thing is this beach has some serious big waves a good amount of the time so we couldn’t always go swimming because it was too rough), a gorgeous beach nonetheless! Nearby we also enjoyed Ninigret playground and pond quite often - a great spot and easy to manage with kids(no crowds! Clean beautiful
Pond) we checked out nearby Clark farm with animals and lots of kid friendly activities , we also enjoyed adventure land- bumper boats and go carts -in Narragansett (15 mins away) and spent a couple days in newport (40 mins), we wanted to rent a boat from a nearby marina but they were all reserved for the day we wanted! would love to do that next time!
Regina was great to rent from she left us undisturbed but was present to answer questions if we had any issues. The cottage was clean and well equipped (I picked up a few extra cleaning supplies and kitchen utensils since we were there for so long!) We would definitely recommend the area and house for a wonderful and tranquil Summer getaway!
