Waterfront, private dock, neighborhood beach

Overall thoughtful and peaceful

Beautiful home. Relaxing views of the river from every room, with an excellent outdoor area. Convenient location. A very welcoming stay. We’d definitely recommend this wonderful home and host.

We stayed at Karen's home for three nights in mid-April and while the weather was too cold to sit outside and enjoy the patio and dock, we still found it to be calming and gorgeous just sitting in the living room and watching the water view. The house is clean, the kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable, and Karen had left towels and treats for our dog, which made us feel very welcome. The house is a short driving distance from Naragansett Bay, Newport, Jamestown and from some lovely restaurants, beaches, and walking trails. We hope to be back again.

The kitchen layout was adequate. All of the utensils, pots, pans, cabinets and drawers needed a thorough deep cleaning, as did the appliances. Teflon coated pans were all deeply scratched from previous use of metal utensils and should be replaced for safety. Front door was swollen and difficult to close and lock, same issues to open when returning. A keyless lock would be a better option. Sliding door to patio was missing locking hardware and we had to use the provided broom handle instead. Window hardware was awkward to use (crank handles would be a simple upgrade) and were broken and unusable (i.e. above kitchen sink) in some locations. Closet bifold doors all needed adjusting as they were usually off track. Main bathroom (upstairs) had sink and shower drain clogging (starting with first usage) and took forever to drain and left a mess behind to clean before the next use. Would expect this to be a checklist item between rentals. Location and views were excellent and as expected. However, the house was suffering throughout from not having a long term tenant or owner/manager staying long enough at the house to identify general maintenance items and address them before the next guests arrived.

Very well equipped. Nice views. Only drawback was that the neighbors are very close and were noisy a few times.

The hosts were great, awesome communication.. so important !!! we had a bit of a challenge w tv and and window that was not able to close, but thats life... we worked thru it all.. View and water were great.

Beautiful location and great view. Love having the kayaks available for use.

Beautiful property with a relaxed vibes. Karen was extremely communicative & the home was stocked with any extras that you may need. I would highly recommend a stay in this slice of heaven.

everything you need for the vacation on the water

Wonderful and peaceful stay. The views are wonderful, especially at sunset!

We had such a relaxing week! The river was beautiful, we brought our small boat and had a blast! The house was perfect! Hoping to come back next year!

We absolutely loved staying at this home! This house is beautiful and the wide water views were amazing! There are so many pretty birds from song birds to blue jays to egrets and blue herons. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, blankets, well stocked kitchen, etc. It was like staying with family! We loved the story behind the house and the loving couple that owned it.

Excellent stay. The narrow river in the backyard was so peaceful and calming . Safe and close to most restaurants. Newport is only 25 mins away.

Well appointed home, well stocked kitchen, outdoor space is beautiful. Kayaking was so much fun. Location is wonderful. We visited Newport, did the cliff walk and had a delicious breakfast at belles, all dog friendly. Looking forward to returning. Karen is a wonderful host!

Everything was perfect. The home, the views, the location. Karen was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

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.

House was great. Property was well maintained and clean. Kitchen well appointed. Comms with owner were prompt. We had everything we needed (and then some!) to enjoy family time on the water…memories were made and look forward to going back in the warmer months!

Great views and amenities

Beautiful river view and sunsets made for a very relaxing stay. Spacious. Well stocked kitchen. Overall lovely experience

Our stay at the property was simply lovely. Everything was clean and neat. The view was outstanding.

House has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Location and view was perfect for touring the surrounding area.

Host was wonderful and very accommodating. House was beautiful, setting was perfect! Would stay again for sure!

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!

This gorgeous home was immaculate with peaceful views and surroundings. There was plenty of room to spread out and SO well equipped! We made ourselves right at home and felt safe in the area and comfortable in the home. Absolutely beautiful spot to call home for a few days!

We loved everything!
