About this property

Rustic and family-friendly bow house, close to South Shore Beach

Located in beautiful and picturesque Little Compton, on 3.77 acres of private land, and only1.2 miles from South Shore Beach. House sleeps up to 8 and is the perfect spot for families, friends, and couples alike! Spend each morning sipping coffee on the screened in porch or go for a misty morning stroll around the field and watch the deer and rabbits come and go. Once the sun sets, relax by the fire in the fire pit and listen to the crickets and sounds of the night with a glass of wine in hand and a cozy blanket. Once the summer sun is gone and the leaves start to turn golden, hunker down with some hot chocolate or warm apple cider (Little Compton is great in the fall!). 3 bedrooms upstairs (2 queen bed and 1 full bed) and 1 bedroom downstairs (queen bed), 1.5 bathrooms, central air conditioning, games, open concept dining/living room floor plan, galley kitchen, screened in porch, and conveniently located near everything Little Compton has to offer!

(Please note - this property utilizes a garage-mounted outdoor security camera for video and audio surveillance, as noted in the rental agreement).

Everything was excellent! The house and property were beautiful and I appreciated all of the native plantings. The only downside (this was my bad) was that we stayed there for the weekend to attend a wedding in Newport and it was further from Newport than I thought (about a 50 min drive). But, that's on me - should have check that before I booked. Would stay again - gorgeous property!

Destination wedding stay

We had a friends wedding in Little Compton, so 6 of us travelled from Australia and 2 from Canada. It was a great weekend away and the house was super close to the wedding venue and winery (for welcome drinks). Cute little town to pop into and pick up some souvenirs and an amazing cheese place!The property was spacious and had everything we needed. Would be lovely to stay again during some warmer weather as there were lots of beach chairs and outdoor spaces to be used.Thanks for an amazing stay!

Little slice of Heaven

From the cozy beds to the beautiful decor this listing has it all! The owners have thought of everything you will need to enjoy your stay and then some. The most amazing yard and wildlife with an outdoor shower to die for! I would give this listing 100 stars if I could! Anyone who books here will not be disappointed!

We had an amazing stay at Dawn and Nicks home. The house was immaculately clean, comfortable, and just so dang cute! You can tell it’s lovingly taken care of and there’s been many beautiful memories made there (including our own). The grounds really are as breathtaking as other reviews said and yea… the outdoor shower really is next level. One last thing, Dawn and Nick really are great hosts and you can tell they want you to feel at home there, that’s not an experience I’ve always gotten with other rentals so kudos to you two.

Paradise in a Rural Beach Town

House and grounds were the best!! Stayed at many VRBO properties - none better than this one!Extended family with 4-7 staying at various times - all age groups loved it - Fire pit, sun deck, patio are all well planned, firewood on site, lots of room for the kids to play ball, lots of space for the adults to relax. Dawn and Nick very responsive - contacted us when a thunderstorm knocked out power in the area to check in - fortunately only the lights flickered.Modern house with all amenities needed for a joyous family stay.Will definitely be back next year!!!

Perfect family get away

This is a lovely home and is even better than the pictures. The home was booked to celebrate a birthday milestone with family. The house comfortably handled 8 adults. The outdoor setting was gorgeous...and don't miss out on the outdoor shower...it is amazing. We want to come back for a longer visit to take in all the area has to offer.

Beautiful house and property

A great place to relax and slow down. I had a great time with some friends and checking out Westport nearby to sample some of the local wine. Didn't end up going to the beach, but it was pretty close and the waves looked surfable from a distance. I'll have to bring a board when I come back some day. The hosts were very responsive and kind and even left me a thoughtful hand written note.

The perfect stay

Pictures don’t do this home justice!! The grounds are huge and breathtakingly beautiful, with plenty of room for sitting around and taking in the late afternoon sun in the Adirondack chairs or cozy loungers. The outdoor shower was the perfect way to start every day, and to rinse the sand after a long beach day. The inside of the house was comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. South Shore beach is right down the road, and Dawn has plenty of beach chairs, blankets and outdoor towels to make your trip convenient! We had the most wonderful week here and will definitely return!

Perfect Place in Little Compton

We have stayed at numerous places in Little Compton over the years and this one is our new favorite. The house is wonderful, lovely and comfortable, (and has a great AC), but what really sets this place apart is the enormous yard. My daughter and I had such a great time walking around every morning and evening, encountering snails, rabbits, woodchucks, chipmunks, and so many different birds. The pictures are great, but do not capture how well this place is designed and landscaped. It's also in the perfect location.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

Perfect Three Generation Family Vacation! Dawn and Rick’s home in Little Compton is so lovely. Surrounded by extensive lawns and gardens, staying there was a peaceful and serene experience. Playing games outside, reading for hours around the fire pit, spotting the bunnies, woodchucks, butterflies and birds made for lots of fun and laughter! We walked easily to the beach and the Commons. We had a delightful tour at the Alpaca Farm across the road too!. The best, unexpected luxury was the outdoor shower! Thank you for having everything we could need including chairs and Turkish towels for the beach. It was so difficult to leave and we will definitely come back to stay!

Highly Recommend House and Host!

We had a wonderful vacation in Little Compton. Just wait until you see this spectacular property! The outdoor spaces - patio, sun deck, outdoor shower, fire pit, lawn are all wonderful and there is so much privacy. The house is large and comfortable with nice touches like throw blankets, plenty of beach towels and a well equipped kitchen. The hosts of this property truly go above and beyond. At the beginning of our stay there was an unavoidable issue and the hosts were proactive, communicative and responsive. We knew that everything would be taken care of and it was. To me this speaks volumes and I look ok forward to staying here again.

Best stay in close to 50 years

We have enjoyed visiting LC for all too many years and never cease to appreciate it serenity and beauty, This rental was the best! Comfort and convenience are high on our list of priorities, and this rental checked all the boxes. Great to pack up and walk away at the end---no sheets or towels or annoying arrangements. For the last 10-15 years we have expressed the wish that the 'beach committee' would make access to the shore safer for older folks---it would take so little effort. But, thanks to kind people willing to give a little boost I can get back up the rocky drop.
