If you are looking for a fabulous retreat near Newport/Providence RI, we can highly recommend Maureen & Jerrys Cottage in Warwick.
The location is just great, almost on the tip of a peninsula lies this house, only a few feet away from the next small beach.
You have your own parking spot on the side of the house with direct entrance. Otherwise, there is plenty of parking in the front of the house or in the crossroads.
Our hosts Maureen & Jerry live just in the next house what made communication very easy. However, they provided us with a manual that contained almost everything one need to know, from house rules to information about how things work in and around the home like thermostat, shower, TV/DVD settings (yes next to TV, free Netflix & Amazon Prime, there is a DVD player with about 30-35 DVD‘s to select from), information about restaurants (we loved the Beach Café), grocery stores to public transportation. If you can‘t find an answer to whatever question you may have in this manual, our hosts were superfast replying all our text messages.
The cottage itself is so increadable, we can not mention everything here we liked about. You have a full kitchen with everything there you need, to a dining table and cozy living room. A small stair (might be a bit difficult for elderly and/or handicapped people) leads upstairs to the two bedrooms and the bath. The master bedroom has a comfortable large bed and enough space for storage. The 2nd bedroom has two single beds ideal for kids/teens travelling with their parents.
There is a large deck going half around the house with lots of chairs to relax, reading a book or just enjoying the sound of the birds and to watch the incredible sunsets.
We stayed five days and regret not having booked for a longer time. We enjoyed our stay so much, we already talking of staying at this place again when in Rhode Island.
Thank you Maureen and Jerry for your kind hospitality and the nice talks!
