We really enjoyed this house. It's on the quiet (west) side of the island, though next door to a busy boatyard. But if you enjoy boats and their attendant activities, it's perfect. It was wonderful to be able to launch kayaks from the yard, and to have such easy access to the water for swimming, especially during a very warm week. The house was very clean and well-equipped, and we appreciated the fresh flowers the housekeeper left for us. This was our first visit to Jamestown, and we enjoyed biking, kayaking, swimming and golf (at the local course). We recommend Trattoria Simpatico for dinner, the Shack (next door at the boatyard) for lunch, and Slice of Heaven for morning coffee and a muffin, but the other island eateries are unimpressive. Take advantage of the Newport ferry and eat across the bay, or shop at McQuade's (the local market) and eat in. Watching the sunset from the house is as good a view as you'll get anywhere.
