This place was excellent. Very nicely put together with lots of room. Bathroom and kitchen were both updated and well stocked. It's in a great location too. We walked to almost all of our meals, and it's just a couple blocks to the water to watch the sunset. Overall, a great experience.

Great place to stay in Bristol

House was very clean. I had to contact the host about a minor issue with a GFCI outlet and they corrected it right away. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic stay

We stayed at Steps Away for our honeymoon. When we arrived, there was a “Congrats” ballon hanging in the kitchen, a bottle of champagne on ice, and a heart made out of rose petals on the bed! What a spectacular way to start our honeymoon!! The house was so clean and beautifully decorated. The porch had an Alexa for music, string lights, and rocking chairs that overlooked a tree lined street. It was so peaceful to sit out there. The hosts were kind and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Great location in Bristol, RI

Great common areas inside. VRBO doesn’t usually have shared areas with strangers (front porch and hot water) but still a nice place. Didn’t feel that a day bed that was too large for the room it was in to open up was the same as twin beds since hard to crawl out over the lower bed. Also had to move the table out of room to open at all. Showers challenging with such limited hot water.

Wedding weekend

We had a lovely visit at Mollie’s place in Bristol. There were 6 of us (3 couples) staying Saturday night for our niece’s wedding on the harbor which was walkable (under a mile.) it might have been too many adult people for an extended stay but it was perfect for 1 night and so much more affordable than hotels in the area. The place is so clean and very nicely decorated and in a charming area. We had a lovely chat with Mollie’s parents, who live upstairs. Other than some occasional footsteps we didn’t know they were even there until the next morning. My husband loved drinking his coffee and watching people go by on the front porch. It was the perfect getaway!

We didn't want to leave!

Can't say enough good about the accommodations, hosts, and the town! The house was spotless and beautifully appointed. Soothing colors in every room, beautiful decorative touches everywhere. All linens were exceptional. The kitchen was well appointed and very functional with everything you need. Although, with the quality of all the local restaurants we sampled there was no need for cooking at home! (We are hoping the new Peruvian restaurant can thrive. The flavors were amazing and the owners so helpful in navigation the menu and making wonderful recommendations. This is the friendliest town we've ever been to, and we cannot wait to go back. The house location is as advertised - within walking distance to everything. We felt perfectly safe walking everywhere, even at night. The only complaint is that we were not ready to leave and wanted a few more days.

Spend a long June weekend in Bristol to help set-up off campus housing for RWU junior. Cozy, clean and close to downtown Bristol restaurants and water. Walk to the coffee cafe or make your own with a large selection of flavor pods. Big fridge to keep groceries and a working stove and oven to make Sunday brunch. Air conditioning provided in each main bedroom, living room with sleeper sofa and small room with trundle bed.
