Beautiful quiet property with excellent views
This 2 bedroom rental was the perfect amount of space and the cleanest property I have visited - actually immaculately clean. It also was very quiet - great sleeping spot. The view from the deck of the marina was just another plus - loved seeing all the different boats and activity in the bay. I've rented many places over the years - this property is one of the best I've stayed at. Thank you for a very comfortable weekend.

Carriage House
The carriage house was well equipped-very clean-and the hosts could not have been more helpful with suggestions of local restaurants to try. We would definitely stay here again in future trips to the Newport area.

Our start couldn’t have been more perfect! Less than 5 minutes from my daughters school and we felt right at home with every possible thing you can think of, meaning if you forgot something, it was there! Great host and we will for sure stay again! Sunrise and sunset was spectacular!!!

Great Find
I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful cottage while visiting Rhode Island. I love the Portsmouth area and this location was outstanding. It's a beautiful, 2 BR space perfect for a short stay. BTW the beds and linens are excellent. Two quick notes...the space has an adorable small deck with table and nice views of the marina. But it does not have open water views as pictured. And while it does have a very nice kitchen with small fridge, coffee maker etc, it does not have a stove top or toaster oven. We learned the hard way after buying fresh fish and resorting to cooking on a hot plate outside so as not to stink up the place. Made for a great memory! Many thanks to the hosts for a great stay.

Getaway
This was a perfect rental for my family and I (and our dog)! The yard was a good size and we loved the shore area for our dog to swim. We enjoyed using the fire pit right on the ocean a couple of nights which was great!

We had such a time time in Portsmouth
The house was a relaxing set up and gave us all space. There is a marina next door to the house so we didn’t swim, but views were great and the neighborhood was lovely. The owners were so helpful.

Exceeded Expectations
Spent a week here with my wife, 2 YR old daughter, and her nanny. The home and the property are gorgeous. When we saw the pics online it looked a little dated but we wanted to be right on the water and the price was right so we booked. When we entered the home we were very presently surprised. The wood is stunning, the home is very nicely decorated, the kitchen was very well provisioned (best we've ever had from VRBO rental) and the views and yard are just incredible. Host was very friendly and helpful, accommodating several of our annoying requests with no complaints or extra charges. He gave us the code the morning of check in and the house was ready early and sparkling when we got there. Only minor complaints were the rooms upstairs are very bright and the shades aren't great so expect some bright light at sunrise (or in our case, crying baby, we had to go buy black trash bags an painters tape first day so we could get some sleep) coming through those amazing picture windows or plan to get really creative trying to block it. We also found the mattress on the master was blown out and we kept waking up in a hole, on top of each other, in the center, and it wasn't very comfortable. Other than that, our stay was perfect. We are already looking at dates to come back to this little paradise on the water.

We had an excellent vacation. The home was perfect for our family. Our dogs enjoyed the ocean and the water access from property. Amazing views made it perfect and the location was easy access to local beaches and restaurants too! Island Park beach was a perfect, private spot for pets as well.

Vacation in RI
Great spot for my kids and dogs. Nice walks to water/beaches. Wonderful porch to watch action on the water and in the sky. A lot of space. 25 min from Newport. Great restaurants near by. Will look into next summer for another booking. A little disappointed that there was no hammock and 5 small boats were covering all of the sand on the little beach in front of water, but we survived. Thank you, Peter

Place was lovely. Very clean and we had lots of space. The only problem we had was that the closest beach was closed so we had to drive a bit to get to a different one. Certainly not the owner’s fault!

Beautiful views! Clean spacious home! Nice neighbors!
Beautiful views of the ocean, very clean spacious home. Well equipped kitchen but not cluttered having just what you need. Screened in back porch was lovely to read and watch the boats and water. I hope to come back next summer and hopefully the weather will cooperate a bit more! Totally relaxation and enjoyment for me!

Very spacious, welcoming home with a great view of boats going by on the water.
First impressions the house looks very small from the front. Once inside, that thought goes away. Very spacious and welcoming. It was almost like two homes in one. The downstairs bedroom and sitting room were apart from the living room and Kitchen (all open spaced and well maintained). The two bedrooms upstairs were very large and have a great view of the water. Half of the items we brought with us we did not need (beach chairs, kitchen stuffs and paper goods) as they were furnished. The beach near the water is small but it was big enough to sit on. Bring water shoes if you want to get into the water as there are many rocks. Water was warm and an excellent place to launch a kayak. It was a very relaxing vacation,, sitting in the sun room in the AM with our coffee looking out into the water and watching all of the boats go by, or sitting on the deck with the umbrella up doing the same thing with an adult beverage.

The house is much bigger than it appears from the outside. Perfect size for our family.
We loved the house. It was the perfect size for 6 adults and one toddler. There were many nice touches, like fresh flowers, that made it feel homey. We really only needed to bring food and beverages, which is different from other rentals where we needed to bring soap and toilet paper! The view from the back of house is gorgeous. The only drawback was that you had to drive everywhere; no stores or restaurants within walking distance, but that was not a big deal. We would definitely rent again.
