Perfect for a beach getaway

This lovely cottage is perfect for a comfortable, quiet get-away to Westerly and is VERY close to the beaches (driving). The cottage is totally up-to-date and beautifully renovated, with everything a family and/or friends could want to relax and be less than a 5-minute drive from Misquamicut or Westerly Town beaches. Just off Route 1, tucked up and away off a residential street (Old Post Road), there are groceries, take-out meals, coffee & donuts just a walk away.
There are deep woods behind the cottage, with a raised deck and grill off the back. Inside, there is a full kitchen (full-size stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer and coffee-maker included) and bathroom (with an excellent shower and lots of hot water). There is a large kitchen table where you can eat, play games, and relax as well as a comfortable living room with television. Below the house is a washer and dryer. Out front is a small round fire pit for making s'mores or for just hanging out around a fire. There is an outdoor table and chairs out front, also. There are two twin beds in one bedroom (with a closet), a queen bed in another bedroom, a day bed in an alcove in the dining area, and a couch in the living room for sleeping. There are dressers in the bedrooms, also. It is all on one floor except the washer and dryer, which require climbing down the back stairs to access.
My adult children, a friend and I stayed here in May of 2009. We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable for us five adults, the owners pleasant to work with, and the location was perfect for going to the beach, Watch Hill, shopping, relaxing and for the short drive to Mystic Aquarium on the rainy day. We discovered a Quaker Burial Ground from the 1800s on the corner of Old Post Road near the cottage.
There is a local food market and nursery at the nearest corner with groceries and excellent home-made meals you can take out. Dunkin Donuts, Tim Horton's for coffee/donuts are within walking distance. A Stop-N-Shop supermarket is just down the road in the other direction.
We look forward to staying here again!
