Vacation Rentals by Owner

Warm and inviting home in perfect Narragansett location

Date of Stay: 08/13/11 Review Submitted: 09/29/11

My husband and 2-year old son stayed here for a week with our friends and their 2-year old daughter. The house truly had everything we needed - plenty of space for everyone, the kids loved the backyard, we really enjoyed relaxing and eating meals on the deck, and the house was comfortable and clean and well stocked. I've rented a lot of vacation properties, and this was one was more comfortable and homey than most. Clearly the owners care a lot about this house! The location was also perfect - we walked everywhere. We were a few blocks from a really great playground and some fabulous restaurant options that the owners recommended. And we loved the walk to Narragansett town beach every day. It was also easy to jump in the car to explore a few neighboring fishing villages and one rainy day at the Providence Children's Museum. We made some great memories this week. And as an added bonus, the owners are very easy and pleasant to communicate with. We sincerely hope to come back again soon!

Summer rental

I have rented for many years in Narragansett and found this property to be terrific. It was exceptionally clean, in a great location and had all of the room and amenities needed for a great beach vacation. If you plan on using an I-pod for music, you'll need to bring your own player. Truly everything else is provided. Great house. Owner very attentive and a real pleasure.

Owner response:Thanks, Rick! We loved having you stay at the Walnut House - you were great! We do hope you will come back next year. We got Wifi in response to one of our frequent guest's request and we'll try to have an iPod player by next summer - cuz we always aim to please! :-) Bev

My family and I want to thank you so very, very much for making your beach home available to us for our beach vacation this year! The stay here was loaded with comfort and amenities galore! The information that you shared with us about the area were great and right on target! This was my first visit to Rhode Island and to stay in the pristine comfort of your home on Walnut Street added tremendously to the treasured memories we were able to create during our stay. Thanks ever so much! You truly thought of everything! : )

Owner response:Betsy! What a lovely review!! You are so kind!! We loved having your family stay at our summer vacation home last week, and you could not have been nicer or cleaner or more thoughtful. It was our please to have you stay at our house - I'm SO happy your family had a wonderful week - and we truly hope you will come back next summer. Bev

Beautiful, Family Vacation Home

Guest: Cindy H M (Glastonbury, CT)
Date of Stay: 08/01/09 Review Submitted: 11/04/09

My family absolutely loved this home. It was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need from lobster pots, games, sugar for coffee to beach chairs. The owners thought of everything. I had one question after arrival and the owner called me right back on a Saturday evening. The recommendations for dining and shops were right on target. It is in a great location and easy walk to the town beach. The master bedroom was huge as was the living room. The deck and yard were wonderful for cookouts. We are returning again this summer and can't wait. The guests we had visit last summer are interested as well.

Owner response:Thank you, Cindy, for your kind words and lovely review!! We look forward to your return this summer! Bev

Fabulous Home...Wonderful Owners!

Guest: South Florida Family (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)
Date of Stay: 06/13/09 Review Submitted: 06/27/09

My family & I travelled from Florida to stay in Narragansett this summer. The owners exceeded all our expectations to make sure that our stay was wonderful. The home was sparkling clean, location was wonderful and had EVERYTHING we needed! The owner, Beverly, made our expereience even better by sharing local tips, hotspots, dining spots, activities and events with us. The deck of the house was great for enjoying the cool ocean evenings. I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to stay at this house. It was adorable and carefully decorated to enhance the seaside experience. Big thank you to Beverly for sharing her lovely home with us!

Owner response:Diana - thanks SO much for your wonderful review. We are so happy you had such a great week at our house. We hope you'll be back again!! Bev

Adorable house in great location

Guest: Debby K. (Weston, CT)
Date of Stay: 08/16/08 Review Submitted: 03/02/09

We spent a week last summer here and had a great time. The house is very clean and comfortable and convenient to alot of restaurants. With children, it is not a walk to the beach, which did not bother us a bit (some beaches however are hard to park at on weekends). There are plenty of beaches within a short drive so we easily found the ones we liked best. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable house that can accomodate a large family easily. We had 3 adults and 3 kids and it worked great! Enjoy!

Owner response:Debby - thanks for your kind words. You were great renters and we would love to have you back at our home! ~Bev

Beautiful home, perfect location

Guest: Naragansett vacationer (Saratoga Springs, NY)
Date of Stay: 06/28/08 Review Submitted: 07/08/08

We have been renting houses by the ocean for ten years. This was the cleanest, best-maintained home in which we have ever stayed. No odors, no mildew, all spic and span. Our two families stayed there (4 adults, 3 kids) and while is it not huge, we were all quite comfortable. A large master bedroom and another fine room for the adults. Two bedrooms for the kids. The house has tasteful "things" also (dishes, artwork etc) which I think make you feel better on vacation! We loved being able to walk to restaurants in Naragansett and to be able to walk down the street to the ocean wall. Beach is also walkable but we often drove with all of our gear. The owner also provides great info about the area so we knew where to go. I would recommend this house to all my friends.

Owner response:Linda - thank you SO much for your very kind words! We do try to make this home the very same kind of house we want to stay in when we go away on vacation. Having a sparkling, clean, comfortable and nicely decorated house for our guests to vacation in has always been our goal. It is so gratifying to know that we have accomplished our goal. Thanks again and we sincerely hope you will return again. You were also great renters! Bev

What a gem!

Guest: geoflin (Melrose, MA)
Date of Stay: 06/20/08 Review Submitted: 03/06/09

We truly enjoyed our week last year and have decided to come back this year. The house is spotlessly clean, well furnished with a touch of whimsy, and convenient for walking to the beach or to dinner at a range of restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. There is plenty of room for 6-8 people and there is a nice enclosed back yard for children. We've had a lot of experience renting summer properties. If you are looking for a pretty cottage by the sea, this is it. There is plenty to do in the area and many suggestions are provided. We drove to Newport a couple of times and it is 30 minutes or less away. We're looking forward to our week again this year.

Owner response:Wow, Geoff, thanks for the lovely endorsement!! We are looking forward to seeing you back again in June! Thanks again. Bev

Charming summer escape

Guest: Sandy (N. Virginia)
Date of Stay: 06/14/08 Review Submitted: 03/02/09

My husband and I stayed at this lovely house for a week [end of June]. Bev [the owner] has an artist's eye and enlivens this house with whimsical beach art. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and two upstairs bathrooms make it easy for everyone to get ready for the day's activities. Everything, from the cozy eat- in kitchen to the charming living room/dining area is immaculate. There's a large, private deck area off the living room if you like to eat out. Of course, being able to walk to the beach is a major plus This house is also close to great local dining, shops, a movie house and a library.

Owner response:Sandy - thank you for your great compliment and we are so happy you enjoyed your week at the beach. In addition to being terrific guests, I have also found a nice friend! ~ Bev

This house is so much more of a home than a rental. It truly shows pride of ownership and a love for the area. Well done! The location is fantastic and the deck was definitely a bonus. If you're new to the area we highly recommend the lighthouse boat tour and the Narragansett trolley tour.

We had a great week. The house was charming, and my daughter and I really liked your decorating. We enjoyed walking along the sea wall every evening and our favorite restaurant for the week was Turtle Soup. Our highlight excursion was Block Island, which we went to on Friday. We rented bikes and rode up to North Light and Settlers Rock. It was beautiful.

We loved our time there too. The house is very sweet. All of the rooms have their own personality and are very comfortable. It has everything you need right there (i.e., beach chairs, salt and pepper, coffee maker). We have infants and rented baby equipment while we were there (the owners are great about referrals). It was perfect for two families. We loved the outdoor deck and yard. We were able to eat outdoors most nights, drink some wine, and chill after the babies were asleep. It is also a very short, easy walk to the water. It is on a quiet street too -- almost felt like home (and we really wanted to stay for the rest of the Summer).

we stayed at the walnut st. house for one week last summer, and had a really nice time. actually we were the very first renters there! it was a very comfortable place to stay, and in a convenient location. it was easy to walk to the beach, movies, and some shops and restaurants. i would definitely recommend staying there, and will hopefully stay there ourselves again next summer.
