House was very comfortable and well equipped. Not being familiar with the area, I was pleasantly surprised with the location and how close it was to Newport, Jamestown, and some beautiful State Beaches that weren’t crazy crowded even on Labor Day weekend. We loved having meals/drinks on the great deck.
What a lovely cottage! The setting is beautiful, plenty of space in all the rooms, great kitchen and restful deck overlooking the pond. We enjoyed the breezes, wildlife and peace of the cottage. Thoroughly wonderful week there.
The house had everything we needed. Plenty of room for us to all spread out. Lovely neighborhood and easy access to stores, restaurants and beaches. We all had a wonderful time!
We had a great stay location was fabulous as we could enjoy the pond views from deck, salt water lake right up the road and beautiful beaches within 10-20 min of the house. We visited Newport and did a fishing charter lots of activities in the area for all ages in our group. We’d love to come back again it was a very relaxing environment, the house had good space and location is great.
The house was perfect for our mature family. We had space when needed but was also able to enjoy the open kitchen together for meals together. Would definitely come back. The neighborhood was gorgeous.
Nice neighborhood, friendly area. Beds as described kitchen nice and all dishes and utensils we needed were available. My only complaint would be living room furniture

We found old very moldy coffee in maker. No screens on some windows. A/C in two bedrms were insufficient. Basement bedroom was too musty to utilize. Used washer once, clothes smelled after washed. Living rm furniture needs updating. Location was great, beach was great, nice neighbors.
The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and is walking distance to a small playground and a private sandy beach on the river (no lifeguard but roped off designated swim area). The beaches were a short drive away, ranging 10-20 min, and the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided helped immensely to lighten the things we brought.
The deck and large kitchen provide ample space to eat/drink/entertain. It is where we spent most of our time. The bedrooms were a perfect size, and the basement area provided a quiet place from the main area. There are a/c units in each bedroom and the dining room.
We enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend this home. We didn’t need to reach out to the property manager, so I can’t comment on ease of communication.
The view of the lake from every room was a delightful way to awaken each day. The sounds of the frogs echoed in our dreams each night.
The house, just north of Bonnet Shores is located near a bagel shop, severa pharmacies convenience stores and a liquor store, with easy access to many beaches on 1A to the south and the charming village of Wickford to the north. It is well appointed with a modern kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Beds were all very comfortable. Ongoing upgrades are underway. The basement bedroom and shower are fine for teens. There is a nice yard in front for the kids to play games in the evening. There is a large quiet neighborhood to get in some walking.
Our hosts were very attentive and helpful. Enjoy your stay!!
This home is very conveniently located but feels very private thanks to the location on a pond. The views out the back windows are gorgeous! There is plenty of space for a family vacation and we enjoyed the spacious kitchen-dining room lay-out.
The family went on a family getaway to Rhode Island We stayed at Deb and Chris’s rental house The house was beautiful and plenty big enough for the 6 of us adults and a toddler Its location was perfect for many of the local restaurants, attractions and near the water. We would highly recommend the rentalThank you for letting us enjoy your home
Nice house! Plenty of room with the four bedrooms. Would have helped if house owners provided sheets and towels! Nice view off the deck and good central location.
The house was in a great location, we especially enjoyed the lake and kayaks that were available. The furniture is older in the house butbwas to be expected from the reviews and the pictures, except the kitchen was updated and very nice. . The house was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. It was a great vacation spot for our family vacation and enjoyed by everyone!
Great house located near Newport, nice quiet neighborhood! House is exactly as described!
Great stay, plenty of room for the family. House looks just like it does in the pictures. Easy access to Newport and surrounding beaches! Property owners were great, very responsive!

Quaint home in relaxing neighborhood
Our family had a great time in this home, super easy access to Newport as well as beaches in Narragansett. We spent much of our time outside on the deck area of the house overlooking the pond. Great, family friendly neighborhood that was very relaxing and accommodated all of our needs and would stay here again.
We loved the proximity of this house to all the beaches. If you’re traveling with toddlers, don’t forget to bring (or rent) some baby gates. We especially loved the playground down the street.
We loved our stay here and wish we had more time . The house was perfect for our family of 2 parents and 3 kids in their late teens and 20s. Bedrooms spacious and kitchen was great. We loved the outdoor grill the walk to the lake and the kayaks. Great neighborhood and perfect location. So happy here
Lovely and quiet neighborhood setting made this property a relaxing home base for our visit to Rhode Island. The many oceanside and inner state attractions we enjoyed were all just a short ride away. The owners were very responsive to our many inquiries and communications leading up to, and during our stay. The home is very clean, seemed like newly renovated, and is well appointed with everything we would have needed.
