For your reference here are the comments left by past renters:brbrPREVIOUS RENTER COMMENTSbr• Great Location! – “Our family of five had a wonderful time in Bristol! The views from the house are amazing and proximity to beach, bike path, and park made this a perfect vacation home. We would definitely stay again.”brbr• Elegant home w/ killer sunsets - could not ask for more – “The home and town of Bristol are BOTH so so lovely and full of character and charm. Bristol is very centrally located to the major attractions in Rhode Island. The bike path and Colt State Park are minutes from this home and both are absolutely incredible. Last, but not least, the views (right by the water!!!!) and the sunsets were breathtakingly beautiful. And for those with small kids, I traveled with an eight-month-old, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old, and we felt right at home. The kiddos were also thrilled to have a playground and a gorgeous park within a five-minute walk from the home. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer. We only stayed for five nights but a month would truly be incredible. Thank you for making this vacation truly unforgettable.”brbr• Great House and time in Bristol, RI – “My family and I had a great time on summer vacation in Bristol. The house was wonderful and fits our needs exactly. The beach access was a real treat. Needless to say, the sunset views were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make meals. The location was very convenient to Providence and all of the sights in Newport. Bristol is a great place to just relax. We will definitely be traveling back to this great house in Bristol.”brbr• Just beautiful – “If you’re are looking for a beautiful spot to unwind, this is your place. The house is beautiful and serene and the view cannot be beat. Enjoyed time in the morning watching snowy egrets fishing while sipping coffee and in the evening with cocktails while watching the sunset. Quiet neighborhood literally steps away from Colt State Park and a half hour drive to Providence or Newport.”brbr• Ideal location – “Great location with well-appointed rooms. The kids’ bikes were a big hit and we enjoyed getting out every night. Went to Blount Clam Shack for chowder and lobster rolls. Nice spot! Grays for ice cream.”brbrIMPORTANT NOTES: This property is owned by Blue Lobster Escape LLC and only listed and available through VRBO.
