The space
Nautical/beach feel throughout entire dwelling. Each room is cleverly designed - creating a fun escape/adventure for your much needed getaway! Port hole window overlooking Bristol downtown/harbor. Deck with ocean view ~ sailor's delight in this authentic Bristol getaway. Living room boasts a 55" 4K tv for your entertainment pleasure.
Guest access
Driveway will fit two cars back to back. If you need more space, parking is allowed on the street. Overnight street parking - let me know ahead of time, and I can get you a temporary parking sticker.
Other things to note
Access to the apartment is thru a private entrance located by the driveway. Please note, the circular staircase (30 stairs) access to your apartment is fully carpeted, so no worries about fear of heights. This apartment is not recommended for elderly folks due to the amount of stairs. I can grant you access thru the main house when you arrive and depart, to minimize the ups/downs - if you have extra luggage.

Lovely downtown apartment

The apartment worked great for my family. The kids loved the nooks and crannies and wanted to stay longer. Cute little balcony with water views. Might be a little crowded for many adults, but it worked great with parents and two school aged kids.

Unique and charming in perfect location

We really enjoyed staying in Ship of Dreams! Bristol RI is a wonderful place, and Karen's property maximizes everything that is great about the town. The apartment offered everything we needed for our stay, but the bonus was the ability park the car and walk to restaurants, pubs, parks, waterfront, and around the beautiful neighborhood. Karen is a great host - responsive, never intrusive, but available to answer questions/concerns. The apartment was spotlessly clean, quiet, and totally private. Highly recommended!

Lovely Apt in Bristol

This little apt was perfect for us. We were just two people so more bedrooms than we needed but the space overall was great. The location is great for walking to morning coffee and taking our small pups for walks in the park just a couple of minutes' walk from the apt. Everything was clean and well organized. The kitchen was stocked with everything one needs for cooking. Karen was great with communication and very pleasant to interact with. We would definitely recommend this spot and would stay there again!

cozy and lovely

we had such a wonderful stay at karen's! the interior pictures are spot on and her home has a lovely little backyard and is walking distance from several cute breakfast spots--you'll get the best of bristol from her place. nearby towns are also easy to get to via car or bus. if you want to stay in and cook, her kitchen is also fully stocked with utensils, pans, and cutting boards.the only note I have for the apartment is that the king sized bedroom gets great light and the windows don't have blackout shades, so if you're sensitive to light you will need an eye mask! however, it is so charming and wonderful otherwise--I would most certainly stay there again.

Comfy and cozy

The hostess was excellent. Our questions were answered quickly and effortlessly! The place was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The check in time stated 4 online, but it is really 3. This is the only thing I would change for scheduling purposes. That is not a complaint, just a suggestion! We had a great time!

The price was higher because of the 4th of July and it was the 250th anniversary- plus Bristol has the longest continuous celebration in the country. The kitchen is well stocked with a good selection of cook wear, coffee pots, toaster, microwave, etc. When we ran out of paper products, Karen resupplied us quickly. Karen answered my questions in a timely manner.
