Lovely property and home
We had a multi-generational family staying for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the house. It had plenty of room to stretch out, and also to gather together. The grounds are amazing, and we really enjoyed the kayak/boat access on the pond.

Another wonderful stay at Quicksand Cottage
We spent two weeks enjoying the house and its environs, our second time here. The house is perfect for our needs: plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen and lots of space indoors and out for games, reading and gathering. We were able to eat outside under the stars almost every evening. We love being able to kayak right from the house and there are really nice walks and bike rides as well. The hosts are responsive and clearly care that their guests enjoy a carefree time at the house. We will return!!!

Perfection!
Our house on Quicksand Pond was everything as promised and more. There was plenty of room for the 13 of us, plus everything we needed for cooking, eating, and beaching. It’s a great location for getting to South Shore Beach where we went every day for the week. Only thing missing was an umbrella for the outdoor dining area. With young kids we were eating early so the sun was still out in full force. But what a beautiful spot!!! Thank you Sara and Jeff for being such great hosts and providing everything we’d need for a fabulous family vacation.

Wonderful house with all we needed for large family group. Kids loved playing in the massive yard and trying to catch fireflies. Adults enjoyed relaxing and kayaking on the pond and watching the swans swim by. Close to plenty of activities but feels like your in your own world.

Charming peace and quiet
This is such a lovely house, perfect for our family Thanksgiving gathering. The kitchen is huge and very well appointed. The beds were all quite comfortable. The property is set back from the road, and the huge yard was great for the kids to play lacrosse and football. Sara and Jeff very generously left us a gift of hot cocoa, prosecco, and candy. They also made sure that we would have a roasting pan for our turkey. We all enjoyed cozy fires in the woodstove and fireplace. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find their own space. The kids liked having the office to make their own hangout. I would suggest that a house that large could use a little more seating options in the living room and more chairs at the dining table so that all could sit together for meals. That being said, it was quite idyllic, and we loved every minute. Check in and check out was a breeze. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future family getaways. The area is so charming, and Little Compton and Westport are both a quick drive away for grabbing anything you may need.

Beautiful long weekend
Our trip to Little Compton was a perfect fall weekend for our group of 8. 4 adults and 4 teens. Property was just as advertised. Clean, comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed sitting in the yard by the fire pit and walking around the property. We cooked meals at home and had all the equipment we needed. The surrounding area was scenic and we enjoyed farmers markets, apple picking and visits to Tiverton and Westport. Check in was easy. Would recommend this property.

Perfect Getaway Place
At the end of a long beautiful road is a house in the woods with water access and bucolic views. Comfortable and spacious the house is perfect for gatherings and getaways. A fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill are a food lovers delight! The outdoor space is equally compelling. Highly recommend a stay here!

Beautiful Cabin in the woods!
The location was a bit difficult to find because Google maps and Apple maps both said the house was on the corner of the beginning of the drive way. Besides that is was very beautiful! We had 12 people in the house and it fit everyone perfectly! The back yard was huge!!! The house had plenty of fire wood for the little fire pit, and the owner even left fresh veggies from her garden!

Quicksand Cottage
We agree with all the recent 5 star reviews; it is a well equipped, roomy, comfortable house. Property is large, very private and extremely quiet. Deer come by late afternoon, and an Osprey usually had a late lunch on top of a dead tree on the property line. We , and some family members, enjoyed our weeks stay before Labor Day very much. The beach was very good with water temp in low 70’s. Communication with owner was easy with very fast response.
