Simply Sublime

A fantastic stay from the initial Vrbo request to check-out from the property. The property owner, Karen, was wonderful to work with when answering questions about mobility features as well as when we had an lockout situation. Special thanks to her property manager, Jenn, who helped us gain access! The property is as advertised, situated on the Pettaquamscutt River which is beautiful to arise to and view the sunset. Overall, the property is well-maintained, stocked fir every need, and in proximity to Newport, Jamestown & plenty of restaurants. While the loft is a bit difficult to walk (I’m 5’9”), we enjoyed the house & riverfront views.

Beautiful River View

This home is beautiful and exceptional and its appointments. There are so many different seating areas that you would be hard-pressed not to find your comfy spot. The beds were soft and comfortable. If you’re looking for a firmer mattress, this would not it. We visited with family and enjoyed our day trips to Newport Block Island and local restaurants. We would definitely rent this property again. We also had the pleasure of watching the URI rowing teams practice practice on the river. It was fun!

Another fantastic stay!

We first stayed here in summer 2022 and this summer returned for a 3 week stay. It was even better this time! Beautiful landscaping improvements made it an even more attractive location. This home is so well equipped and comfortable. Whether looking out at the water from inside or from a seat on the dock, the views are mesmerizing. It’s a great place to kayak and soak up the sun, and it is close to everything! The property owner is wonderful and responsive. We will definitely return for a third visit in the future!

Comfortable, Clean with Great View

One of the best properties I have stayed at during my son’s 4 years at URI. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Karen is a great host. She’s quick to respond to any inquiries and went out of her way to make sure our stay was great. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Living room is spacious and has great view of the river. Backyard had 5 Adirondack chairs and patio furnitures was there for plenty of seating and great view of the water. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Do not hesitate to stay at Karen’s property.

Riverside Paradise!

Everything about this property is a delight. It is like visiting a friend, or being in your own home, as opposed to (even very nice) rentals. There is not even the slightest hint of the usual sterile, builder-grade construction and appointment. The expanse of windows set the stage for the stunning river vistas in this lovely welcoming space furnished with comfort and casual elegance. As you think of something that you need, all you have to do is open a drawer, a closet, a pantry, and there it is. The owner shares fascinating stories and fantastic recommendations and even the neighbors are friendly. There are multiple kayaks for renters to use, and spending time kayaking up and down the river is truly sublime. We cannot wait to return!

Hidden Gem!

The Nest is a hidden gem in Narragansett. It has the most beautiful view from the living room. Loved watching boaters, kayakers, paddle boarders, etc going up/down the river, not to mention all kinds of birds. The dock is great (looks new) and very peaceful. There are kayaks available along with other water play items. The kitchen is new and has everything one needs. Extra bonus: there are many hand rails around the home that were especially helpful for my elderly parent. Anyone with mobility issues will appreciate them. Communication with the owner and property manager was great. It was a great stay!

Great Riverfront Property

Very nice/bright/clean house with a riverfront dock + 2 kayaks. A/C on main floor and MBR, but not in the finished basement. Small private beach within walking distance. Great location for kayaking/running/biking. Walgreens and convenience stores - 5 minute drive. Full-service grocery store - 15 minute drive. Overall it was a great place to vacation.

Lovely Home

Our stay at “The Nest” was wonderful and relaxing. A member of our group has some mobility limitations and the bed/bath on the first floor was perfect. The outside spaces were lovely - unfortunately weather was not very cooperative for us to enjoy much! One note is that if planning to sleep in the finished basement bring earplugs as the furnace is within the space and quite noisy. We adapted by using the basement sitting area but sleeping on upstairs couch. Overall great location to access Narragansett, Newport, Pt. Judith and surrounding areas. Clean and very comfortable home. Great kitchen space and cozy common areas. If offered in the summertime, would love to stay again!

Excellent stay in every way!!!

Quick summary: this house is very well-maintained; very well-equipped . Lovely residential neighborhood. Great view over Narrow River in the Pettaquamscutt Lake area. Very nice owner. This was our second stay at this property. The house is very well-maintained, and feels very spacious. The living area and bedrooms have beautiful views over the Narrow River. There are a number of sitting areas, indoor and out, that are comfortable and have the views. The kitchen is very well kitted out with high quality appliances and equipment, i.e. pots & pans; dishware; barware; etc. Lots of all kinds of appliances (e.g. blender; Keurig and regular coffee pot, serveware...) Excellent on-site main floor washer and dryer. Two bedrooms have very comfortable beds and pillows. Each has good closet space (one walk-in!) and at least one chest of drawers so you can really settle in. Basement accommodations, too. Nice bathrooms (one with a roomy shower; the other a tub/shower combo -- I love having a real bathtub). Good storage space for your toiletries, etc. Lots of high quality sheets, towels, beach towels, etc. HVAC and wifi work very well. We LOVE the backyard. Aside from the view, it offers both shade and sun at different times of day. When you hit those really hot days, the shade is appreciated. There are also Adirondack chairs overlooking the river, portable beach chairs, dining table and chairs for outside dining. There is a dock and a place to get into the river for a swim, kayak ride, etc. It is nice to have that place to swim when you don't have the energy to get to the beach (or want to deal with a crowded beach day,) or just want a quick dunk. The area right by the shore can get a bit mucky, so I recommend water shoes, but it is not a large area. The house comes with an assortment of water toys, noodles, etc. The dock is also a lovely area to hang out in the evening. The residential area is quite nice. Quiet, but not far from restaurants, town, attractions, beaches, etc. There is a community beach a few houses away. The clubhouse and neighborhood have various events where renters were welcome to attend -- nothing loud or crazy, very family-oriented. Due diligence: the upstairs bedroom is up a somewhat steep set of stairs. Handrails are on both sides, and my husband and I were fine, but it might have been a challenge to someone with mobility issues. Still, there is a nice first-floor bedroom. We look forward to a return.

Great stay near Narragansett

Really a nice stay. Beautiful views. Extremely quiet neighborhood - very relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen. Had everything. Two singles and a double kayak. Floats for river. Wifi worked great - no problem to do zoom calls. We did an eight mile round trip kayak to the ocean. There is a beach only accessible by boat there. Had we known, I would have packed a picnic lunch! We cycled all through the area, including to the ferry and took our bikes to block island. Really pretty! Used the grill almost every day. Great to have cable to watch tv. Note: AC unit only in MBR and is loud and one for the main floor. The 2nd br only has a fan. That was unexpected, but we still had a great time and would truly recommend! Karen the owner was super quick to answer any questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Manning

Host profile image
My great uncle built this home as a summer cottage when he emigrated from Sweden in the 1940's. It became my family's summer home, and now belongs to my sister, brother and I. It has undergone several renovations to expand, update, and maximize the magnificent view of the Pettaquamscutt Lake and the Narrow River.

Why they chose this property

We have loved this property as a summer destination for 3 generations. We have cherished memories of boating, kayaking, birding, swimming, and cook outs, clam bakes, and cocktails overlooking the water. Come visit and create your own memories.

What makes this property unique

Bring your own boat or use our 2 kayaks and enjoy the private dock. The neighborhood beach is two houses away. Enjoy the beautiful view of nature from the living room panoramic windows. Kayak north to the estuary, or south to the Atlantic Ocean.
