Thank you for your hospitality. It was wonderful to meet you, Carlos and your family. Your warm and welcoming personality made our stay at your home in Rhode Island very memorable. Your suite was perfect to use as our home away from home to travel and see the sights in the area. With your helpful travel tips, we were able to make the most of our time to see and do more than everything on our list. We would highly recommend your appartment to everyone! Tracey, Geza & Reid

My husband, infant son and I stayed in this great apartment at the end of August. The apartment was very clean and the pictures certainly do not do it justice! It was nice and cool and felt like we were in our own little place. The owners were very accommodating, nice, and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks!

Owner response:Dear Porcshe, It was a pleasure meeting you and your husband and who could forget that adorable baby boy of yours.My husband and I are so happy you enjoyed your stay at the apartment. We look forward to seeing you again next year. We already have the central air finished and bought a big gas grill. Until then take care & best wishes for you and your family.....Laura

Trip East with Grandma

We found the apartment to be extremely clean! Very nicely decorated, and comfortable. The beds are very clean and very comfortable (good mattresses, nice sheets and bed covers). It is convenient to the beach as well as Watch Hill; in a quiet, residential setting. Our host family, was friendly and helpful responding quickly to any questions or needs we had. The only drawback is there aren't windows in the bedrooms, as they are inside rooms, but, it is highly condusive to a good night's sleep. I would highly recommend this property.

Owner response:Dear Cris, It was so nice meeting you, Lisa, and "Grandma". We are very happy you enjoyed your stay with us. You certainly did get around while you were here. The museumes in Boston, Mansions in New Port, Mystic Aquarium, the casinos, I can't even remember all the other locations you told us. But that's what your supposed to do on a good vacation. Hope you made many memories to treasure for a life time. I know you said it's every other year you come out so untill then, you and your family take care of yourselves. Sincerely..Carlos & Laura

Stayed 1st week in Aug. 2010

I found the discription of the property to be accurate. The photos do not do it justice. There were 6 of us at one point and we never felt crowded. The place is nicely arranged and we never felt crowded.It was decorated beautifully. It was absolutly immaculate and clean!!!! Great parking too!!!! The location was a bonus also. We were close to everything. Some of the places we went to were: Newport, Block Island, Foxwood Casino, Watch Hill beaches, Misqumiquett Beach. The beaches had various concerts going on that were free over the summer. The owners left us alone. When we did see them, they were very helpful with information about the area. I would highly reccommend this place to anyone who likes to be in a quiet area, 5-8 minutes from the beaches. There was no traffic getting anywhere. I like to walk for exercise and this place is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood with no traffic. I am planning on going back next year, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Owner response:Dear Lynda, so glad your friends and family had a great time. We have already bought the picnic table for outside and alarm clock that you suggested. So you can use and enjoy them on your next visit, next year. We also added A/C even though it really wasn't needed. We look forward to seeing you next year, and it was a pleasure meeting you. Sincerely Laura & Carlos.

My wife and I stayed here while visiting relatives in RI. The apartment was exactly as advertised, in a nice quiet neighborhood, and quite large for the money. It is very clean and comfortable and the owners were friendly and easy to work with. Even though it was very hot the week we were there, the fact that there was no A/C was not an issue. The apartment stayed very cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. The location is convenient as well, only 15 minutes from the beaches. We really enjoyed having a quiet place to relax and have some down time in between visiting friends and relatives. I have already recommended it to family members who live in the area for guests who come in from out of town.

Owner response:Dear Jacque &Joe, thanks for the lovely review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. The only thing that confused me is the comment about 15 min. to beaches. We are only a mile & a half to Misquamicut State Beach, & others along the coast. Maybe you whent up to Charlestown beach? Anyways, so glad you had a nice time & hope to see you again. Sincerely, Carlos & Laura

I wrote a review upon my return but note that it did not post. So I'll try again. This was a wonderful getaway for my fiance, myself and two teenage daughters. The kids loved the apartment so much that they didn't want to go anywhere on our first day. Very clean, beautifully decorated - we LOVED it and will definitely be returning.

We recently stayed at this apartment and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was spotless, very nice decorated, and provided a private, relaxing atmosphere. As a matter of fact, our first day there was spent completely inside, as my teenage daughters loved relaxing on the very comfy couches. We couldn't get them to go anywhere, they were happy to stay all day. I would recommend this experience to anyone !!

Owner response:Dear Mary & Mark, I am so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay. It was lovely meeting you and we look forward to seeing you again, Much Thanks and gratitude ..Laura.
