Charming cottage 5-minute walk from West Beach
Quaint cottage a 5-minute walk from West Beach, a private beach named one of the most beautiful beaches in New England by Yankee Magazine. Comfortable and private, this charming cottage is a perfect getaway for families with young children or couples.
Inside there are two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with adjoining dining area, living room with single extra long day bed and double fold-down couch, and bathroom with shower stall. Outside you will find a deck; large, private yard; outdoor shower with hot water; and parking for up to four cars. This cottage comfortably fits 2-4 people. The bedrooms are semi-private with an adjoining wall and curtains for doors; the bunk beds are ideal for children. There are additional beds in the living room, so there is sleeping space for up to 6, but the cottage is small and would not accommodate 6 adults. The location and nearby beach are unique, and the price reflects this. Bed linens and bath towels available on request for additional laundry charge; renters supply own beach towels.
A short walk down a dirt road takes you to the private beach for West Beach Association members and guests. Beach pass provided for renters. Our quiet location at the end of West Beach Rd. is perfect for walking and biking. You are easy walking distance from the Quonochontaug Breachway. With a public boat launch, this is a great spot for fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. Nearby is Westerly with its historic downtown and concerts in the park, and Watch Hill with a wealth of shopping and restaurant options and, for the kids, the oldest continuously run carousel in the country.

Really an overall wonderful experience. Prompt communication with the cottage owner. The cottage was exactly as advertised. The private beach was amazing! Would definitely rent this property again.
The location of the cottage is perfect. It’s adorable and comfortable as well. The beach and the breachway are both short walks and the porch is great. The private beach is beautiful. You cannot drink or cook with the cottage tap water so you have to supply your own bottled water which I think should mentioned in the listing. I was also told to bring all my own paper products including toilet paper although there were paper products in the cottage when I arrived. Katie was communicative and I would definitely stay here again.
