"We have been going to Shelter Harbor Inn for decades. After its most recent renovations, the Inn is absolutely beautiful. The design of the inn is lovely. The grounds are stunning. And very importantly, the staff is excellent. There was some confusion re our check in and both the young woman who checked us in (Laci V) and the young woman who checked us out (Laci M) handled the situation perfectly. Sadly, we were only there for one night most recently but we will return."

Top Theatre by the Sea Hotel Reviews

Coastal Retreat-Walk to Beach, Potters Pond, Dining, Paddle Boarding, Fishing

10/10 Excellent

"We recently moved our son from TX to the RI for college and opted to stay here and were so glad we did. The home is clean and quaint and gave us a place to have some down time and enjoy the area and all that is has to offer. The decor is lovely and the entire community is clean and safe. The host was very accessible both via the app and cell phone. They left us a sweet welcome gift of taffy and wine along with very clear instructions on how and where to get to the beach, what is expected while staying there and more - this was very helpful as we had so much going on already. I would recommend this spot always."

A Perfect Family Beach House!

10/10 Excellent

"Nice house and deck and big yard. Close to the beach. Had a great time. I would say the only drawback is that it’s close to the highway, but there are trees and a fence in between. Would definitely go again."

Peaceful Cottage - Steps to Matunuck Beach

8/10 Good

"Cute older cottage with on beach access. Stovetop and micro For indoor cooking. Gas and charcoal grills outside which needed cleaning. Interior Needs a deep cleaning to include front door, window sills kitchen backsplash cushion covers and upholstery. Screens need repair.No cleaning supplies were provided but we found a Dollar Store! Location is good, owner was on sight and was responsive to our concerns. Love the outdoor shower but the latch doesn’t work."

Luxury Beach House - Your Perfect Getaway Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect location; right on Potter's pond in E Matunuck, with a beautiful view of the area to see sunsets and sunrises. We woke up each morning to see egrets and herons in the wetlands right outside our house. The house had a nice deck with good seating for everyone; and the kitchen was fully stocked with a good working grill. The owners were incredibly responsive to our every need and the house was very clean. They even got us kayaks - which we loved having. There is a launch right next to the house and we kayaked every day. The place also is within walking distance to the beach and they provided us with a wagon to drag our stuff. People should know the place does have a spiral staircase (which could be an issue for small children) but it also has outside stairs to the main part of the house."

Cozy Cottage in Snug Harbor, minutes to the beach (pet friendly)

10/10 Excellent

"Quick communication- place as described"

Ocean View Matunuck Home - Go to Water, Go to the Village!

8/10 Good

"We returned to this house that we have enjoyed with our kids after several years off. Still the same place! Great location. Unfortunately, I forgot that the host does not provide sheets/ linens. And I could not find this on the VRBO listing. This was annoying. In general, disappointed that there hasn’t been maybe any investment in the property after 6-7 years. The kitchen cabinet handles were falling off, the sliding doors were difficult to lock/ secure. Would be great if the host provided sheets in the future.Once we settled in, we loved our stay. Location!!"
