  • Watch Hill, RI017/2/2023I have given Holdredge Cottage rentals 5 stars because I am never disappointed when I rent from them. My cottage is always welcoming and feels like home when I arrive. The cottage is immaculate and furnished with everything I need to relax and unwind. the porch is my favorite spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The beach is just a block away and they supply you with chairs and an umbrella and free admittance to the beach. The only problem is I hate to leav!UsefulFunnyCool

The Perfect Vacation Home

 5 *  What a beautiful spot overlooking Watch Hill harbor with a view from the deck all the way to the carousel. The house is situated in a private compound yet a few minutes walk to town and beaches. Everything about the property was neat, clean, well appointed, and comfortable. My family sends thanks to Jane and Charlie Holdredge for providing the perfect vacation home in lovely Watch Hill. We are hoping to return next year.      

The Best Ever Watch Hill Vacation!!

5 *   This was our second year staying at the main house and, because our family included four generations this year, we also rented one of the cottages. We had a fantastic week of glorious beaches, beautiful sunsets as well as nightly carousel rides (for the little ones) and ice-cream cones. The main house and cottage were immaculate, with gleaming hardwood floors, lovely (and functional) furniture, and every amenity you could want.The grounds were well cared for and spacious with the quaint but bustling harbor, town and beaches just a few minutes walk from our door. We loved the proximity of it all!! Many thanks to Jane and Charlie Holdredge for providing the perfect vacation property for our family. We all look forward to returning.  

Wonderful

5 * My husband and I have  rented from Jane and Charlie for several years!    The home is clean,  spacious, and has all the amenities of home,  situated on a very nice private property!      It has been a wonderful  gathering place to spend time with our adult children!  The views are  spectacular, whether at sunset, early morning, or after sunset with the  lights of the boats in the harbor!  Sometimes we can hear the surf  crashing on the other side of the sand bar.  The town is a few minutes   walk away, with a fine dining establishment and several other smaller  restaurants, all family oriented.  East Beach and the lighthouse are  also a few minutes walk away as well as the private beach that is  available to guests of the  Holdredges!   We highly recommend this  rental!   You won't be disappointed!  Jane and Charlie go out of their  way to insure a most pleasant visit!

5 *  Our family of three has stayed at the Holdredges' Cottage for 17 years during our annual family beach vacation. Jane and Charlie are consistently wonderful hosts and our cottage is always neat, clean and ready for us. For the few suggestions that we have offered over the years to make our stay more comfortable, Jane and Charlie have always been very responsive. We host our family reunion during this week, and they have been very helpful with extra chairs, tables, etc. If you want to be in Watch Hill, this is the place to stay!   

 

Response from the owner  

We  are so fortunate to have these great people return every year. We look  forward to seeing them and to watch their son grow into a young man.  It's like family coming home once a year.

Another great week

  We have been staying at the main house for years and it is always fantastic. The location is perfect, a short walk to either the Carousel or East Beach. A locker is provided for chairs and beach toys, so you don't have to lug things there and back. The home is immaculate and comfortable. Plenty of room for my wife and two daughters, and a wonderful spot for entertaining guests. The view of the marina from the deck is a great place for a morning cup of coffee or a cookout with a view of the setting sun. The owners, Jane and Charlie could not be nicer hosts. We can't wait to go back.    

Looking forward

 We are looking forward to this year's stay. You have such a wonderful location. You are very private, yet in the heart of Watch Hill. We love the fact that you take such good care of your house and cottages. You always make us feel so at home.  

The Holdredge beach cottage

 My family and I had a wonderful vacation. The beach cottage was a perfect location. We could walk to the beach and walk into town. My daughter and her friend could walk to the candy store or just down town because it so safe and friendly. The town and beaches are pristine. I have booked for next year.    

Excellent location, clean accommodations

. We found the cottage to be the perfect location to the beach, shops, etc. In addition, it was very clean and minimalist (not cluttered). The June nights gave way to cool temps so we found no need for AC. I would definitely recommend this place and stay here again. Thank you to the Holdredges!  

Reviews

     Melissa McLean   Rating   Review   posted on              Sep 4, 2017    Lovely week long stay in the main house. Very clean, well stocked kitchen, and three comfy bedrooms, two full baths. Beautiful harbor view from deck, yet super quiet at night. Rented bikes and we could either walk or bike into town or to the beach. Loved walking in the morning to the lighthouse or to Napatree point which is gorgeous. The house comes with ample parking and really don't need a car once you get there. If you know Watch Hill, parking is a premium. Jane is very easy to work with and made sure that we had everything that we needed. Go to Cooked Goose for breakfast. Best eggs benedict...you can ride a bike there too. Recommend the Holdredge House highly!

Our family stayed here at the end of July, 2017 and had a wonderful experience.  Jane & Charlie are easy to communicate with and the units are well maintained.  Our family booked both cottages for a week, it is a very special place.  One floor spacious layouts in both A & B.  Charming, clean, comfortable beach cottages.  The proximity to town is incredible, walking distance to town, carousel, Watch Hill Beach and East Beach.  We have two young boys, 4 & 2, who had a blast walking (more like, getting pulled in a wagon) everywhere.  Highly recommended for a truly beach town getaway.

There is only one thing difficult about writing a review for the Holdredge House and Cottage Rentals.  Which is better?  The superior location or the outstanding management and owners.  Watch Hill is beautiful anytime of year. You can enjoy a walk to the lighthouse, a visit to the Ocean House, and when the temps are good, some great beaches.  The historic merry go round is something many of us remember from years back.  It's still here!   Jane and Charlie are both kind and conscientious.  They are very attentive.  We have zero complaints.  We can understand why many folks keep coming back. We recommend this rental and its owners with the highest possible rating.

This is the second year that my family, three young adult children and I have stayed at the Holdredge house/cottage for several weeks during the months of July and August. We all enjoyed our stay and we're planning to make this a summer tradition. Jane and Charlie, the hosts, are wonderful, very accessible and responsive. The house & cottages are just a short walk to several beautiful stretches of not very crowded Watch Hill beaches. They are very clean and well stocked with everything we needed during our stays. We enjoyed cooking dinners (using the grill), eating outside on he porch while watching the most beautiful sunsets on the bay each evening. We had easy access to everything...great shopping, the famous Carousel, St. Clair's ice cream, Olympia Tea Room and the Ocean House The owners are members of the Carousel Beach and renters have access to beach and all its amenities (restrooms, changing rooms, umbrella/beach chair rentals, food stand.) I enjoyed morning walks at Napatree Point while my son surfed at East Beach- absolutely gorgeous. An added bonus is that the houses & cottages are all equipped with updated wifi and cable TV. These rentals do not have AC but that was not a problem for our family. The air cooled down significantly in the evening and the ocean breezes made for very comfortable sleeping. I highly recommend Holdredge Rentals if you are looking for a wonderful place to stay in Watch Hill.

What a great place for a family beach vacation! Jane and Charlie are great hosts. This was our first stay and we can not wait to return. The cottage was all we needed for a great week. There are many beaches to explore. We were able to launch our kayaks nearby. I highly recommend staying at the Holdredge House!
