100% Renovated Bristol Cottage w/Water View+Access

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My husband and I had a wonderful long-weekend stay at Nicole's cottage in Bristol! It was located in a serene neighborhood near the water which was nice to walk down to throughout the day. We were close to downtown Bristol and an easy drive to Newport, too. This cottage was clean and adorably decorated with New England coastal charm. The bed was also very comfortable! We even enjoyed a night inside doing a puzzle, which the host provided, on one of the rainy evenings. Overall, we had a great, relaxing stay here and definitely recommend it!

Downtown Bristol Waterfront Studio

AlanRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Perfect Downtown Getaway! What a fantastic find! This apartment is in the perfect location, just a short walk to the waterfront, shops, and great restaurants. The space itself was incredibly well-appointed and felt even more spacious than the pictures suggested. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location felt very safe, and we had no trouble parking our vintage car. We would absolutely rent this place again. (Just a note for future guests: the apartment is on the second floor.)

Bright and cheerful 1 bedroom with full kitchen

GregoryRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My fiance and I wanted to explore Newport for our anniversary and Sally and Dusty’s place did not disappoint. It was conveniently located, clean, accurately depicted via the photos provided, in fact even BIGGER than it appeared in photos, and was located in a very quiet, peaceful, and safe neighborhood. Washer and dryer a huge plus! The road it was located on led right to the water, beautiful! It was directly attached to their house, but that wasn’t an issue cause they never bothered us, nor did we hear them through the walls. I know they have a dog because I heard it bark a few times, but it was NEVER a problem and I’m actually sad I didn’t get to meet it ☹️ the only negatives I would list would be that there were a few bugs in the house, but to be expected with the woods/trees right there, the bathroom sink was slightly clogged, and there was no outside lighting so we had to use our phone flashlights when we came back late at night. Would recommend and stay here again! Thank you! 😊
