Cottage by the Sea

Underwhelming We were a group of 3 adults looking for a place to stay for four nights while we were visiting relatives in Warwick. We frequently travel together in the US and abroad and are familiar with staying in vacation rentals. The upside to this property was its location. If you were renting this property with the express purpose of just leaving you luggage and sightseeing, this might be the property for you, especially if you needed a place for only 2 people. The cons to this property were that it was dingy and the pictures were brighter than reality. The property needed a more thorough cleaning. The floors were dirty and there were cobwebs in the corners. Even though the bathroom was advertised as updated, that was a bit of a stretch. The shower was small and dingy. The bedroom was simple and adequate, but had a water stain on the ceiling in the corner. The small (tiny) living space with the TV had an extra “bed” which really was small thin cot not suitable for an adult. The pad was thin and you could feel the wires and bars underneath. We really wanted to like this place, but in the long run it needed a cleaning and would not have been comfortable for the 3 of us to stay for 4 nights. We ended up staying at this property for 30 minutes and then collectively decided to find other lodging. In all of our travels, this was the first time that we have ever turned around and left. We attempted to contact the property owners about our concerns but never received a reply.

Small but adequate This is a very small cottage and would not recommend for more than two people. Kitchen supplies were adequate. Sufficient linens and towels. We stayed in the winter and there was no snow shovel nor ice melt and we had several snowstorms during our stay. The location is good as there are several good restaurants nearby. There are several state and local parks nearby with excellent walking paths.
