The house was very clean and accurately described in the listing. We appreciated that all the bedding and towels were included and of high quality. We thought the location was perfect for exploring the greater Rhode Island area. Not far from central Newport and easy travels to Providence and outlying areas. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose.

Lovely home on a quiet street; the neighborhood is very walkable. Do be aware that there are stairs up to the bedrooms that could be difficult for some to navigate and the only bathroom is downstairs. We very much enjoyed looking out at the water from the front room. Mike was a friendly, communicative host - it’s obvious that he loves the area and takes pride in what it has to offer. The house met our needs just perfectly to use as a base for exploring the area

The host was very accommodating. Cottage layout was a bit quirky. Unfortunately, it was abit too chilly to use the patio and grill in the backyard; but, it did look very nice.I would come back again during the warmer months. I was enthralled with the location and the view from the front is spectacular.

My teens and I had a peaceful and relaxing visit. The space was as described. I did discover the large mattresses were both very soft, so if you need back support, the twins are much more firm. The back yard is perfect for cooking out and family dinner. My teens loved being able to take a boat out, and we discovered walking trails nearby perfect for walking the dog. There are many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Grafik coffee is excellent and it was also a quick drive to Newport. All in all a very enjoyable stay at a much needed time in our life.
