Matunuck Beach House
We had a great week in this beautiful, well equipped, clean and comfortable home! We had 3 generations here - 5 adults, 1 three year old and one senior doggie. We had visits from friends and family. Lots of room for everyone! 3 bathrooms was a plus! We enjoyed the large backyard with the fire pit. The owner is very responsive and sweet! We would definitely rent this home again!

Matunuck gem
Our family, including our dog, just loved this property. It was well stocked with essentials, clean and comfy. The fire pit and yard with plenty of room for corn hole were icing on the cake. Easy to get to the beach, the Vanilla bean and other local treasures. Highly recommend.

Beautiful summer vacation rental
Home is beautifully spacious with two main living areas plus a basement. My husband and I and our 1 year old shared this space with both sets of grandparents and it never felt crowded. There was no waiting for the bathroom to get ready and there was plenty of seating for meals and hanging out around the fire. The home is well equipped with updated appliances. The hosts have clear instructions available and were very communicative in the days leading up to our stay and afterwards to coordinate check in and check out.
10/10 would recommend this space!

Great place for a family beach vacation.
We had a busy, fun week at this beach house. It was super clean, well stocked and comfortable for little ones and pets. The town beach is walkable but with small kids you will want to drive. We made s’mores at the backyard fire pit, a new experience for my grandson. Once that screen door is fixed I would highly recommend this house for a fun family beach week!

Lovely Rhode Island Vacation House
Our family consisted of 8 adults and 2 children. We had a wonderful week staying in Matunuck. The house was more than adequate for our family. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The yard was such a great space - from the fire pit - to the hammock - and the extra space for the kids to run around. There was enough parking for 5 cars and a boat. The farm market so close by was great, as was the beach, ice cream shop and market. We’ve spent many summers in Rhode Island and I have to say this was a most memorable experience for our family. Our hosts had everything in order as stated that we didn’t need reach out for anything. We look forward to returning next summer for a repeat of an excellent vacation!
Thank you for everything Joslin!

Lovely house and yard, great location
What a great experience! Three generations of adult family members had plenty of room to enjoy the house and lovely yard. It was a quick walk to beach, farmstand, market or ice cream stand. And it was a short drive to other beaches, restaurants and local landmarks. Joslin was a great host, made it easy to arrange the rental, called us upon arrival to greet us and let us know we could contact her if anything was needed. We hope to be back again next year!!!

Great place to stay near the beach!
Lovely house within walking distance to the beach, and a short drive to other fun beach activities, dining, entertainment. Lots of room for a big family gathering, which is why we were there. Very large yard too! We will definitely try to rent this house again if we have another vaction to RI! Joslin made it simple and easy to check in and out, and was very responsive to our questions...Thanks Joslin!!!

Thanks you Jocelyn and Tim our stay was amazing. The house is wonderful and has a beautiful yard .
Paul and I had a wonderful stay at this house. The house is clean and comfortable. We took this vacation to celebrate my husband’s birthday and retirement we couldn’t have had a better time. This house has everything you need beautiful yard fire pit and beautiful views of foxes playing in the area and deer. Thank you so much Jocelyn and Tom for your kindness. We would recommend this house for sure. We had family and friends stop over to enjoy the house and to celebrate my amazing husband Paul. He ended his long career as a officer and also celebrate his birthday. The beach was beautiful and sunny . On the rainy day we took that time to go to the movies and then spent the evening at the ocean mist. Thank you again Jocelyn and Tom we hope to do this again. The Rocheleau family gives this home and area to vacation a 10..

Awesome August Adventure
We absolutely loved our time at Joslin and Tom’s place!! They were able to accommodate us last minute after a terrible experience at another rental nearby, and we never looked back! The house is perfect for parents with young kids - plenty of space for everyone inside and the garden is huge and great for adventurous little ones! The beach is a short walk away as are the local supermarket, pubs, restaurant and pizza shop 😋! And it’s an awesome location for plenty of great day excursion options on the few days when the weather didn’t cooperate. Thank you for saving our summer Joslin & Tom - we’ll be back!

Home Away From Home
I had the time of my life with my three children: Jamie 21 leaving August 23, 2021 for new job in Cleveland, Elijah 20 going away to college August 14, 2021 and Austin 19 leaving for boot camp October 23, 2021.
I wanted to be alone with my children before they embark on their new phases in life. We loved the place and are big fans of Matunuck Beach.
The bedrooms are clean and spacious, 4 showers including outside, the morning coffee and meals in the user friendly kitchen couldn't of been better. Most important, the place is cozy and warm. The yard is beautiful (includes a grill and fire pit)! Frankly, the photos do not do the house or area justice.
Ten minute walk to the beach or Vanilla Bean or local market. We rode bikes to the wildlife refuge on Old School Road. Every other day we walk 100 yards to the farm for fresh vegetables, brad etc. The restaurants were awesome.
We had the time of our life. This is the first family vacation I had alone with my children since my divorce 7 years ago. I said to myself; If we can't be happy here, we can't be happy anywhere. As a father, I have never been prouder.
Thank you Joslin and Tom

Nice place for a family vacation
I planned this trip for a large family vacation with 10 adults and 2 children under 2 years old. Overall the house was really nice, it's not a super fancy place, but that's not what we were looking for. Everything in the house was in working order and the four bedrooms were good sized, three of them large enough to also put a pack n play for a toddler/baby to sleep in. Every room had air conditioning so the house was very comfortable even though temperatures reached 90 degrees during our stay. Some of the AC units are kind of old and loud, but they worked. The air conditioner in the basement died on our first day and the owner Joslin and her husband came within a half hour of me calling her to fix the issue.
It was great to have on site laundry so we could wash stuff during the week, especially with young kids. The machines are very big and work perfectly. There's also three full bathrooms plus an outside shower and we never ran out of hot water.
The back yard was great, very big for our dogs to run around and set up a badminton net, and there was a really nice fire pit that we used almost every night.
The only issues with the house itself was that the people who had to sleep in the basement apartment complained that it was a bit musty/stuffy down there, probably a better place for kids rather than adults, and the grill out back was pretty old and had to be lit by hand, the beds also weren't the most comfortable things I've slept on, but not horrible. The common areas (living room, kitchen, dining room.) were a bit small for the amount of people who can stay in the house, but luckily the weather was good during our entire visit so we didn't use them much.
The house is less than a quarter mile to the Town Beach, which was very nice every day of our stay except the last one when it was over run with seaweed. It's an easy walk or quick bike ride/drive. There's quite a few good places to eat nearby as well. We found a nice spot to put kayaks into the inlet on the end of the next street over. The area is also great for road bike riding if you're into that, head west past the theatre so you can avoid having to ride on Rt. 1.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.
