Peaceful Water Views with a Happy Nautical Theme
What a lovely stay! We love how the room was kept and the all the thoughtful stuffs Wendy prepared for us -- really made the stay more comfortable and felt like home:) We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, and it was an easy drive to Newport and Providence. The weather was not so good during those days, but we will come back when the summer arrives :) Thanks again for the help from the kind host for looking for our forgotten hats!! Though we did not have the luck to find them, they would stay somewhere to be a connection between us and the place!

The Landing
The Landing was perfect for our weekend getaway. We stayed during the quiet season and felt like we were the only ones around. The house is designed to maximize the view of the water from where ever you are. Our weather was rainy and cold but we stayed cozy and warm by the fire. Being able to bring our older dog was a plus. With clear instructions and everything we needed in the house, we did not have to reach out to John much, but when we did, he was prompt and helpful. We would definitely rent again!

Buzzard Bay Getaway
While the weather did not cooperate (it rained the entire time) the cottage and views made up for the weather. From the table to the couch the views are wonderful. The cottage is very well stocked from towels and blankets to the kitchen. We did not need anything that wasn't supplied. The bathroom is small but functional. The shower might not work well for a larger person. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe and peaceful. We enjoyed our long weekend and would book this cottage again.

3 BR -no guest fee-cozy beach house- near newport.
Great spacious house with all necessary amenities. Very thoughtful and responsive host. Beautiful surroundings!

Oceanfront two bedroom home with large deck.
The house was very comfortable and clean. The view was very beautiful! There’s a large beautiful deck with comfortable furniture. The house has a certain ambiance to it, and the history of it must be interesting.

Amazing View Water Front Near Newport & Bristol RI
Joseph was a wonderful host . Very responsive and friendly, helpful. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood overlooking the water with a beautiful reflection of the sunrise and a beautiful sunset. Small private beach . Nice coffee and cheese shop two miles away with a few fabulous shops. We were there to relax and that's exactly what we did !! Thank you Joseph

Beach front 3-bedroom home with garages
This is a lovely home, on Clark's Cove peninsula, in "The Whaling City"! All amenities are included, & it's just steps away from the beach & historic Hazelwood Park! Also, the deck faces west, so there are magnificent sunsets every evening! We really enjoyed our stay here, & we're spreading the word amongst family & friends!

Sunnyside Duplex
Emily was a great host, assisted with parking, and left coupons for the local restaurants. House was exactly as described and check in was quick/ easy. Great location and outdoor space overlooking the water!
Beach house rentals with a pool

Secluded Oasis w/ Heated Pool - 10 mins to Newport
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Za’s with our 1 year old. Cant wait to visit again in the summer!

Cozy Barrington Home with a Private Pool
This was exactly how it was described on the website. It was clean, comfy and exactly what we needed for our visit. Reina was there to greet us and show us the home once we arrived. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was clean and there was plenty of room for more than just the two of us. The neighborhood was quiet and very easy to walk to get fresh air and exercise. We saw many neighbors walking their dogs. I will stay here again.

HUGE family house. Sleeps 10+ Pool, Beach, AC
We filled Shael's place with family for the weekend wedding of our granddaughter, and it was perfect. The wedding and reception were less than 10 minutes away and Bristol is a great little town. We weren't able to enjoy the pool due to the weather but it was beautiful, as was the whole huge house.

Misquamicut Beach House, 1 Mile From the Ocean!
We rented this house for our family of 6 to attend a wedding at Ocean House. We had plenty of room and the location was perfect for us. Loved the quiet wooded back yard. Even saw a deer one morning! Would definitely rent again!!

Home Away From Home
We had a great time here!

Waterfront Oasis Pool EPIC Views
super fun! great for larger groups- plenty of space for everyone and a well-stocked house

6/13-15 weekend open, Central AC, Walk 2 beach
Sara's place was fantastic! Perfect for our group running a local race. Walkable to Easton's Beach and restaurants in Middletown. the place is extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. Sara was excellent: very responsive and accommodating - I would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront Historic Wickford Village Home!
We stayed for only 1 night. The description and reviews are accurate. The house was exactly what we needed. The location is great with an easy walk into town. Our son caught 3 fish off the dock. We loved our quick stay and would absolutely stay again.

Large 6BR Home - Walk to Beach!
The house was everything advertised and more! Our hosts were very responsive and clear in their instructions which was appreciated. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space. We loved the outdoor shower and fire pit! The house is only a 10-15min walk to Scarborough beach and in a lovely neighborhood. Our family had a great week in Kyle’s home! Thanks for everything!

Cozy Beach House with Short Walk to Private Beach
Meg's place felt relaxing and spacious. It is a short walk to a private beach, which we enjoyed even though it's winter. You can see the lighthouse in the distance from the main bedroom upstairs. The beds all have memory foam mattresses so if you like that, it's good to know. I'm not a fan of memory foam but that's a personal preference and nothing against the home at all. The house felt like it had been taken care of and maintained well, with some apparently recent updates to paint and such. We did find the place to be a little dusty, especially the floors, and my husband and I were a bit sneezy due to the dust and/or pet dander present in the home. Easy to find, easy entrance (keypad on door). In a nice quiet area of Point Judith but an easy drive to Narragansett. We recommend On Point pizza for amazing slices (4 minutes' drive from Meg's place), and Celeste for a more upscale dining experience (10 minutes' drive).

Quonnie Beach House Walk to the beach
My main search was for a pet friendly rental so I could invite friends with a senior golden retriever. And secondly I wanted to be near the ocean. Having lived on Cape Cod for 25 years, I moved back to Connecticut a year ago after the passing of my wife. But the call of the ocean never fades and this rental was steps from East Beach. My stay was in February and the weather wasn't the best, but beach walks are always best when the only footsteps in the sand are your own. The rental was very accommodating with 3 bedrooms, a spacious living area and large, fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of outdoor seating is also included. Melissa was very attentive and always responded quickly when needed. I definitely recommend this rental for a peaceful adult retreat or for a full family vacation. Kids will love it with the big yard and kayaks available. Enjoy, John

Private Cottage and only a 10 min walk to beach
We enjoyed our stay. The place was cozy and warm considering the freezing temperatures outside. She left plenty of towels, toiletries, and basic supplies in the house. Also, there was plenty of coffee and a few snacks which was a nice touch. The home was very comfortable and the street was quiet. I would love to come back in warmer temps next time.

Beach Home – Family Friendly - Solar Powered
This house was a perfect place for our annual family gathering. There were 9 people from 16 to 83. The open space, first floor bedroom and bunk room were perfect for our group! Ciara was a great host!!

Quiet , private yard - Walk to beach
Carrie’s house is better than in the pics. The yard makes the place private and quiet (a small refuge near the beach). The rooms were nice, spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped! The outdoor shower actually had both cold and hot water. It is a great place. Carrie responds almost immediately to any inquiries or questions! The home is a seven minute walk from the beach and is a great place to spend the week or weekend!! Remember: Bring your own towels and sheets (not provided: Carrie sends reminders about this as well).

Sun splashed 6 bedroom short walk to the beach!
Christine’s home was perfect for my family and my friend’s family to stay! So much space and lots of bathrooms which was a plus! I love how the kitchen and living room are one big space to host everyone. The wrap around deck was amazing!!! We had some trouble with the grill but Christine was SO responsive (even though she was on vaca herself!) and sent her handyman over to fix it which was awesome!! Nothing beats the RI beaches and salty summer air. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

Bonnet Shores: Private Beach: CAPE /Central Air
The location was great. The beach was just a mile and a nice walk. The house was spacious and clean. We didn’t spend much time at the house and never cooked a meal but it seemed to be well stocked with supplies. Although there were no lobster crackers so we had to go out for lobster!
