Beach Side Cottage in Narragansett

The location, within a very short walk to the beach, and very short drive to other beaches, could not be beat, although it rained during our entire stay (which may have colored our opinion). The host was VERY flexible with an early check in and late check out. The beds were new and comfortable. The house was adequate and comfortable enough for 2 adults and 1 child. But it was a bit run down, not sparkling clean and lacked a few helpful items. We got toilet paper and paper towels when we asked for these items, but had to buy garbage bags, plastic storage bags, aluminum foil and non stick spray (usually there is some kind of oil in a short term rental, along with some basic spices, which were also lacking.) There wasn't a hook anywhere to hang wet raincoats (we discovered as we were leaving that there was a drying rack under the bed.) The outdoor shower was not functional, so there was no way to avoid tracking sand into the house. There was no "user's guide" to the house - so we had to figure out how to open the windows, and had to ask where the beach chairs were (again under the beds.) There was no bathtub mat and my grandson slipped while taking a shower. A few of these touches would have made it a 5 star review. Although these are small items, I include them here so the next guest will be better prepared - knowing in advance would have made all the difference to us.

Great location.

This is our family’s favorite spot. The house is clean and has a cheerful vibe with a great view and walking distance to the beach.
