This house was gorgeous! Well stocked, very welcoming. In a great neighborhood with the most gorgeous views of the water and very convenient to lots of restaurants, Newport, Bristol, Fall River.
The only downside was we were really looking forward to using the hot tub, and specifically booked this house because of the hot tub, but the water was green and it had a bad smell. I emailed the property manager shortly after arrival, and she said she would send someone to check, but then we never heard anymore.
I’m still giving it a 5 star rating, because it was one of the best neighborhoods we’ve ever seen and the owners did a fabulous job with stocking everything we would need and labeling things around the house. Thank you!

Thank you for your great review! We welcome back you any time!
The property was clean and pet-friendly. The location was ideal - you can walk right to a small beach, bring bikes or walk to a little bit further beach. Neighbors were all very nice and lots of dogs in the neighborhood. Easy to explore Newport, Providence and more. Very close drive to Roger Williams. I think it should be clarified that the bedroom with twin beds is only accessible via the upstairs bedroom as the back spiral staircase is posted as "not for general use." The familiy has done a wonderful job of making the house easy to understand and navigate but I had difficulty getting the property management company (Evolve) to answer my emails and VRBO messages, which was disappointing. None of my attempts to communicate prior to the stay were ever answered.

Property was immaculate and as presented. Check-in was a breeze. Perfect for five adults. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for staying at Cottage by the Sea! See you again soon!
Overall a great stay, the beach area was perfect for our small kids and the house was set up well for a multigenerational stay. Only complaint would be that the hot tub and 2 out of 3 of the bikes were not usable due to flat tires and rust. Definitely not a deal breaker for us though and I'd recommend or stay here again!

We are sorry to hear about the bikes and hot tub we will get on it right away!! Thank you for staying at Cottage by the Sea and your valuable feedback!
Proximity to the next was excellent. The property Manager was not responsive with my questions and actually some of the information given was not correct.
