Amazing house for Bridal Party!

We had 20 people stay for our wedding and it was awesome. The house is super spacious for getting ready in the morning. We even did our first look on the front porch. I recommend bringing a pillow if you are picky about them. Overall it was a wonderful property.

Excellent property for family reunion

We had an excellent stay at The Wakefield!! We had 16 adults and 5 toddlers fly in from 5 different states for a family reunion and the house was exactly as explained online. The property manager was exceptional at responding to questions. All the beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and beach towels and chairs for all. We catered in most of our food from a local vendor which was fantastic.

Great Week!

We had a great time at The Wakefield! The house had a great amount of space for our entire family and the carriage house was perfect for a quiet spot. The kitchen is fully stocked with all types of kitchen appliances and the double washer and dryers came in handy while traveling with children. Having the town within walking distance was wonderful. There are plenty of restaurants and even a grocery store a few blocks away. Our entire family had a great time!

Perfect house for an extended family

The house is in a perfect location, just off Main Street in Wakefield. Easy walk to dinner, ice cream, shopping, and entertainment. The house is spacious and has laundry on both the first and second floors. Ample parking even though we only had 5 cars, there was enough room for at least 3 more. The beaches are close but so is Newport, Providence, and Mystic. More than enough room for our young adults to hang out and play pool or foosball in the carriage house while the “old” folks hang out playing cards and board games in the main house. Just the perfect vacation spot for a large extended family.

Spacious wonderful home

We were a group of ladies that had an amazing stay in this beautiful home. The well stocked kitchen and living room are spacious. There are so many places to sit and hang out which made it a perfect rental home for our group. The beds are comfortable and bedrooms are all as pictured. It was a short ride to Point Judith for the Block Island Ferry and a pretty ride to Newport. Robin was a great communicator. I highly recommend this home, it is fabulous!
