Beautiful historic home, prime location

Such a special historic home, beautifully restored with all the amenities. We loved walking to the stores and waterfront restaurants in Wickford. The close proximity to Newport and Jamestown was perfect for short day trips. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Lovely late summer vacation

I just returned from spending a week at Ross’s beautiful Wickford home. I visit twice each year and I always enjoy so many special experiences each time. This visit I took the commuter train at Wickford Junction to visit my daughter in Boston. What a gem this station is so close to the house. I do enjoy early mornings and late afternoons at the nearby North Kingstown beach. Walk to Gardner’s Wharf Seafood for delicious take out. The village Main Street and neighborhood walks provide all nearby dining and shops. The John H. Chafe Nature Preserve just a few miles north was a pleasant forest beach trail walk. I am a RI girl and will look forward to my return next summer.

Lovely summer vacation in Wickford

Ross thank you again for sharing your amazing home in Wickford Village.. This was my third visit and each time I find it more special for this Rhode Island girl to return home. Location is outstanding to restaurants, shops and bakery/ cafe. I purchased a non resident beach car pass at the town hall this year and the convenience of driving to the nearby beach was absolutely a plus. The rooftop deck was quite pleasant for reading and watching the boats in the harbor. My daughter loved the contemporary furnishings with the historic home features. Hopeful to return next summer once again.

Perfect Blend of Historical & Modern

Property is excellent: Location: Location is perfectly situated in quiet, historical Wickford, RI. You can relax certainly relax there (plenty of shopping and restaurants) or venture to nearby Narragansett, Jamestown, Newport, Providence, or Boston. Property Condition: Although the home was built in 1785, it has been meticulously renovated to blend modern amenities (AC, modern furnishings, beautiful kitchen) without sacrificing the historical character. Great care was taken when remodeling this home. Amenities: the house comes with everything you need to feel at home. Plenty of dishes, utensils, grill with all tools. Appliances appear to be fairly new and gently used. We will stay again here again. I can't say enough good things about our experience here.

About the host

Hosted by Ross Gilardi

Christy and I have been married for 17 years with two children named Lena and Lucas that are age 10 and 7. I grew up in nearby Narragansett RI, and my wife and I went to Boston College. We really enjoy Wickford and spend holidays and the month of August at the house. We take tremendous pride in having restored our 235 year old home last year in a way we've always imagined since buying the house in 2004. We love our house and think you'll love it too.

Why they chose this property

Wickford is off the beaten path from the crowded summer beach towns of South Country. If you've never been before, its the type of place that you will feel you discovered on your own for the first time. Wickford is not only a lovely summer destination. It also has character, fascinating history, and the type of unspoiled New England fishing village that is very hard to find these days without massive crowds and kitschy shops.

What makes this property unique

Wickford is a walking village. You'll need a car to explore the sites and beaches of southern RI but you don't need a car to get around Wickford. There are also ample kayaking, cycling, and surfing opportunities with 15 minutes of the house.
