The house and amenities were amazing! As a large group of 16 we were able to sleep everyone comfortably and had enough space that we didn’t feel like we were crammed in. Robin was very communicative and on top of any questions leading up to and during the stay. I would highly suggest this property to any large group looking to stay together on a single property without breaking the bank.

great spacious rental for holiday get togethers

perfect halfway meeting point for a few families to enjoy quality time together. The house was spacious, plenty of room for adults and kids (including activities like board games, pool and foosball), kitchen full of utensils, and everything was renovated. For the price you can't do better anywhere close to Newport!

Exchange students& Family reunion!

Our gathering brought back together 2 exchange students (we hosted back in 1997-98) and their own families and our 2 daughters and their families, totaling 18 persons. they all came from CA, Brazil, CO, NY and right here in RI. The house was a huge hit! Everything was as described online. More than enough of the kitchen and bathroom essentials. The young kids in our group enjoyed the yard and the carriage house. we brought plenty of things for all ages to do as well as what was at the house and in the garage. Our friends had other plans to explore other attractions outside of RI but found that is enough to see in our beautiful state of RI. we enjoyed the house immensely and would definitely rent it again if the opportunity arises. thank you for a wonderful experience!

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!

We had a fantastic stay at "The Wakefield". Our extended family of 15 people from ages of 18 to 90 and two small dogs had a fabulous time. The location was fantastic. It is within a couple blocks of downtown Wakefield with its cute shops, art studios, WWII museum and Brinkley's ice cream and it is just a half-hour to Newport for fun day excursions, and within 10 minutes to some wonderful RI Beaches. The house provides an ample supply of beach towels and chairs too. The house was extremely clean, and the AC worked wonderfully with multiple zones. The kitchen had everything we needed to do a few family meals, and the barbeque grill worked great. The spaces in the house and the carriage house gave everyone wonderful places to gather and to have alone time space when needed. Robin, the house manager, was extremely responsive during our stay and got back to us regarding any questions we had instantly. One of the past reviews on here recommended to bring your own pillows if you are particular, and many of us did do that. The first-floor bathroom was handicap accessible with a roll-in shower and safety bars which worked very well for our family members in their 80s/90s. Overall, it was fantastic place to stay and a great location for a family vacation.

Great Gathering Spot

I held my 27th birthday party here. On Friday we all relaxed in the game room and ordered delicious pizza nearby. Saturday we walked to the Whaler's brewery which was a great time and then Saturday evening we just had a great time spending time together. The house made it super easy to talk and see everyone. No one felt left out or segregated. Extremely comfy beds and bedding, super clean, well stocked. You should have no doubts about this place, it was perfect!

Dan's Retirement celebration weekend.

Everything about this home was exceptional, from the layout of the open concept first floor to the game room in the carriage house. We had approximately 25 people for the weekend and there was room for all. We had plenty of room for outdoor eating and playing games in the yard. The kitchen amenities were amazing, everything we could possibly need was already there. The home was impeccably spotless. We were close to beaches and plenty of choices of dining. We would definitely consider staying at this home again.

Friendsgiving Turkey Day / Veterans Day Celebration

This is our second stay at this property and we can't say enough about how EXCELLANT it is. Robin is an amazing Property Manager and she took care of our every need. My wife and I are both Veterans and we decided to wrap in a Friendsgiving Turkey Day and our 45th Wedding Anniversary. We had twenty family and friends for a full trimmings Turkey Dinner and everyone was seated comfortably. A plus was that there was a large Veterans Day parade in town and my grandson and I were proud to march in it. Also, it was a beautiful day to walk the nearby Narragansett Beach! We have stayed at many VRBO properties in the last fifteen years and this one is by far the best. Immaculately clean, huge space and the separate game room building is a definite bonus.

Beautiful home

The Wakefield is a beautiful home. It was love at first sight. The place was immaculate. There were 13 of us celebrating New Years Eve together. There were enough rooms and beds to sleep comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. Robin, the property manager, was always available for questions or problems, even on the holiday weekend. Since it was so cold, we only ventured out once to visit the Brewery and downtown Newport. Otherwise we stayed home and played games. Would love to visit the area again and see all that we missed. Thanks for the wonderful accommodations and we hope to see you again.

College friends turning 60 including spouse in wheelchair

Lovely, clean, well-stocked, spacious home. Five couples fit easily with room to spare. I was in a wheelchair and the property was accessible with assistance but not without assistance. A portable ramp was provided so your friends can get you in. You can then get around on the first floor. There’s a large first floor bedroom with roll-in shower tho the toilet did not have a grab bar so you’ve got to be able to work around that. We had a commode that we put over it during the day. We loved the property and had a great time. Note that the road was iffy for going anywhere in a wheelchair so I ended up skipping the walk everyone else took. It may have been ok but it’s the kind of street where you may need to jump up onto the grass as someone whizzes by. The property manager was very helpful and quickly answered our pre and post booking questions.

Great for large family group

Stayed 4 nights with family aged 8 to 81. Everyone was impressed and wanted to stay another week! Plentiful towels, spices, bedrooms, bathrooms. We chose it for the wheelchair accessibility and it worked out well for my husband who is non ambulatory and uses an electric scooter for mobility. Bed was perfect height for transferring, roll in shower had a bit of a curb but we used a shower chair that rolled over it ok. Bathroom sink is high, but workable. It's so rare to find wheelchair accessible homes. It was great. They had lots of ramps for entry that worked great for his Amigo scooter.
