The property is exactly as listed, cozy, charming & close to beaches. Andrew was a great host and took the time to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Thank you Tina for your stay. You are welcome to stay again in the future.
Evening John, thanks for gathering all the linens and taking care of the place. And thank you for your nice comments in the journal on the coffee table. Please feel free to reach out if you need a place to stay in the future.
Communications regarding check in and check out was excellent. Property was clean and appointed very well. And they accepted our two dogs, which was key.
Very easy to book, easy access and prompt communication with owner. It looks newly renovated with very nice clean bath tub, sink etc. they allow pets, but the place is very clean and I did not feel any allergies or see any pet hair so I highly recommend whether you have a pet or not.
Great house for the weekend. Super clean, close enough to the hustle and bustle of Newport. The listing advertised a washer/dryer but that was not accessible.

Thanks for your stay and positive comments. The washer & dryer are in the basement.
Andrew is an excellent host. I stayed at this property for over a week with my family and due to a home renovation. A few things came up and he was very responsive. The home is conveniently located and very charming located in a beach community and close to everything. The bed is quite comfortable and the property is clean and cozy. We are a bit sad to leave.
