Cecilia's beach cottage is quaint and clean and ideally located close to East Matunuck State Beach, an easy walk or short drive. It's also just 10-15 minutes to Narragansett and the Block Island Ferry. The community of cottages was fairly quiet during our stay and the neighbors all seemed friendly. The queen bed is super comfy, the kitchen is outfitted with basic cookware for preparing meals, the wifi is speedy, and the porch is a nice place to relax with comfy patio furniture. Cecilia was easy to communicate with and self check-in was super easy. All in all, it's a perfect spot for a beach getaway.
Some things you might want to be aware of:
The cottages are pretty close together, so there's not a real sense of privacy (though people pretty much kept to themselves). There is a parking area right against the bedrooms, so we were awoken quite early our first morning by some fishermen/other cottage guests who were slamming car doors and chatting right outside our bedroom window. If you're a light sleeper, a pair of ear plugs might be good to have on hand, just in case.
If you park in the parking area to the side of the cottage, avoid parking under the tree if you can -- we learned the hard way that there is a flock of sparrows living in the tree who will gladly use your car as their toilet all night. We had to go through the car wash twice just to get all the bird crap off.
You will have to walk or drive your trash to the dumpster on the other end of the Potter Pond cottages property. Not a big deal, but worth knowing the dumpster is down the road.
That's it! Bring your own bed linens, towels, and toiletries. Blankets/quilts, nice pillows, and other basic items are provided. Overall, Cecilia's cottage is great place to stay to enjoy the ocean breeze.
