What a great place for a weekend getaway! Lots of space to relax and visit on the large screen porch. Perfect location with lots of water sports equipment to use on the pond just steps from the house. Beautiful views in all directions!
Perfect spot for a girls weekend- 4 adults. Very clean, enjoyed the views. It’s nice that all rooms have water views. Beds were comfortable enough. It was off season but still plenty of restaurants nearby for dinner. Spent the day in Newport doing mansion tours. Responsive and informative host.
Clean, well appointed home with a big yard, fire pit, and dock. Quiet and peaceful as it's located at the end of an unpaved road. Walkable (or a short drive) to a few shops and the beach. We very much enjoyed our stay!
The property was perfect for our family! Every room had a great water view. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.
We will be back!
My family and I had a great time staying here while my nieces were looking at the University of Rhode Island and Salve Regina. It was a beautiful clean home that had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Can not say enough about the house and how clean and bright it was with a great yard and spectacular views of the water with a beautiful firepit. Great stay and would stay here again. Very unique property!!
10/10!!!!! This house was amazing! Very clean, very beachy, and a nice, quiet location. We all enjoyed our stay. Spent mornings on the dock catching crabs. Afternoons in the screened in porch, enjoying the beautiful water views. The children felt cool sleeping and hanging out in their downstairs lair! It was a love for all 8 of us (4 adults, 4 kids).
We loved our stay here. The house is in a wonderful location with beautiful property. It had everything we needed. The only thing that I wished I had was a boat to zip around the pond and over to the ocean. We would definitely stay here again!
Lovely home with large yard- even a firepit! Owner Darren is very accomodating and friendly. Quiet area on the pond - beautiful spot. Was enjoyed by all!
Perfect to accommodate my family for my daughters wedding
Beautiful, peaceful setting! We were able to enjoy relaxing by the fire pit having great conversations with family prior to my daughters wedding. Plenty of room to sleep, prepare meals and not worry about having to bring towels, sheets, utensils, spices, etc. Made our stay easy and comfortable!
Beautiful home with all accommodations necessary for a comfortable stay. Extremely clean, neat and organized property. Communication from the owner was A+. Very attentive to the needs of the renter. Close to major roadways, beaches, markets, shops, etc. we will stay again and give a 5-star recommendation.
This beautiful home was perfect for our annual girls’ get together! It was spotlessly clean, well-appointed and comfortably furnished with everything we needed and more. Be sure to try the porch swing, it’s bliss! The property has a lovely view on a quiet dead end street surrounded by water. Darren was a wonderful, responsive host who pays attention to the details that make for a fun and relaxing vacation. We hope to revisit!
We enjoyed our time at the house. The setting and space were lovely. One thing of note to future guests, they have people come by the house to take care of the lawn during the week without notice. Just ask for the schedule from the hosts and you should be fine.
Perfect stay for touring URI. The house was clean and we loved the sunny porch for meals. The owner Darren was responsive and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is a non stick fry pan or electric griddle. It made it a little difficult to make pancakes. Everything else was perfect!!!
When booking online it is often difficult to be assured that the information presented is accurate. In this case it really was; this truly is a stunning home in a secluded spot; even the wildlife was welcoming! We were there in winter and had a snow storm keeping us indoors for half of our weekend but that did not detract from our enjoyment at all, in fact, it added to the ambiance of our weekend. The only downside, if there was one, was the approach road being unpaved and muddy when we arrived; I'm inclined to think that in time this road will be paved. We would definitely return to this beautiful, serene spot.
We just spent an incredible weekend at a house overlooking a beautiful pond in Rhode Island, and it was everything we could have hoped for. The tranquil views of the water were absolutely mesmerizing, providing a calming backdrop to our entire stay.
The house was cozy and inviting, with large windows that let us enjoy the scenery from every room. Mornings began with coffee on the deck, where we watched the pond come to life with gentle ripples and the occasional appearance of wildlife. It was the perfect way to start the day.
Our weekend was filled with a mix of outdoor activities and peaceful relaxation. We enjoyed walks along nearby trails and spent hours simply sitting by the pond, soaking in the serenity. In the evenings, the reflection of the moonlight on the water was breathtaking—a memory we’ll carry with us for a long time.
This little slice of Rhode Island offered a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this house by the pond is a true gem!
House is exactly as you see, it’s the best location. Restaurants and everything you need close by. Great hosts, couldn’t have asked for a better stay!!!
