Very pleasant stay!!

Jen was a wonderful host and made our Memorial Day weekend incredible! There was plenty of room for our 6 friends and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The back deck had beautiful views and the house was equipped with lawn games which we enjoyed very much.

Host profile image
While born and raised in Rhode Island, college and work took me away. Matunuck will always have a piece of my heart. My family -siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins -still gather here each summer because it has been part of my family for generations. It is a special part of the world that I am happy to share with friends.
