We loved this house! We did a 4-night stay in mid-October with 6 guests, my husband and I, our two children (ages 7 and 10), and two grandparents. There was plenty of space for everyone, kids had their own bathroom in the loft and the games in the basement were helpful to keep them entertained on the rainy day and when adults needed a little space. House was very clean and had a soothing feel, heating and cooling as needed was easy. Other than initial stairs to get up to the main level, the space was easy to navigate for the elderly. Safety of stairs to the loft and basement should be considered for very small children. You can hear the waves crashing from the house! The walk to the beach was short and convenient, although the uphill path in the sand was a little challenging for the elderly. The highlight for me was the gorgeous expansive back porch overlooking a beautiful pond and marsh. We spent much of our time out there relaxing with coffee or tea and watching all of the amazing bird activity! Herons, egrets, ducks, gulls, osprey... so cool! Occasional small planes, small water vessel, or kite boarders were also fun to watch. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Barbara, for another wonderful Rhode Island getaway!
