New Beach Rose Boutique Cottage on the beach

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (66)
"The cottage was very clean and in a nice quiet neighborhood with easy access to main routes. The interior decor was tasteful and the hospitality of the hostess was wonderful! She left us snacks, coffee, and flowers. The cottage was a little snug in the master bedroom but the King size bed was very comfortable. Wish the view of the ocean was more than what we could see which was only from our front door. The photos online were a little misleading because they show the entire cottage which is a...

less than a mile from RWU, walking distance to downtown historic Bristol

"Cozy usually is interpreted as ā€œsmallā€ but for Jay and Sandyā€™s Cottage, I mean literally cozy. Itā€™s plenty of room for 2 couples, with 2 large bedrooms, each with a bath, and big combo kitchen/LR, and outdoor space. Everything was spotless, and I couldnā€™t come up with anything I might need that wasnā€™t there. It was so close the many restaurants and shops. We especially enjoyed the Nest for Reubenā€™s and a beer. The cottage feels like youā€™re at Momā€™s house, and it just feels like a happy place. I...

Historic Mansion on Parade Route

"This clean and well-decorated apartment is accurately portrayed. We had a relaxing stay. The apartment is perfectly located in the center of Bristol, within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. The hosts can provide you with a parking permit for your vehicle and it was easy to find street parking. Just a block from the waterfront. The hosts were friendly and communicative. The kitchenette is well equipped for making simple meals and snacks. We enjoyed our stay!"

Beautiful Beach Cottage in Downtown Bristol

"We loved staying here during Parents Weekend at Roger Williams University. The neighborhood is very cute and within walking distance to much that Bristol has to offer! The cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Bonus was the outdoor space complete with seating and fire table. Perfect spot for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. We will definitely stay here again in our next few years with our son studying at RWU."

Fully Restored Bristol Home, Walk to Town & Harbor

"The check-in went smoothly and as descripted. The house was in a perfect location for us. We used to live in Bristol and enjoyed being back! Our two adult children and their families joined us, and of course, our fur-baby, Pookie came, as well. Three bedrooms, three huge bathrooms, AC units in every room--perfect. All the kitchen supplies were there. Easy to maneuver around the counter extension, too. So thankful to find an affordable, well-arranged home that was pet-friendly! Felt like...

"This cottage was an updated, cute New England style cottage. Lovely back deck on the water offered scenic views all day long. Kitchen updated nicely. A smoke alarm went off one night because of battery issues. The washer seal was very mildewy. Trash cans were full upon our arrival so we could barely get our trash into them as requested. The towels were a bit smelly and there were not enough hand towels. Overall we were very pleased! The owners just need to work out a few maintenance or property...
