Great host and great place! There are two bedrooms upstairs and a bunker house that can accommodate more people. The house is very cozy with a kitchen that's well-equipped to cook in and a dining table to share your meal. Also, appreciated having two bathrooms in the house. The upstairs is a full one with a generous sized tub.There's also an outside table to share meals and a sizeable backyard.Would happily stay here again!

My family and I spent a week at the this home and it was an amazing experience. The layout was open and seems much larger than expected. It's walking distance to circuit Avenue and walking distance to a really nice park the kids could play at. The house was furnished with everything you needed, and any concerns we had were addressed quickly and completely.

Early spring stay

Charming home in a great location close to town. Home appeared to not have been used for a bit and cleaned before arrival as the surfaces were pretty dusty. Otherwise, everything was great

Lovely house

We were 3 couples in town for a wedding and this place was perfect for us. We had plenty of space and it was very clean, well stocked for cooking and has a lovely, cosy island feel to it. We didn’t get to explore much but we did have a little walk around the great neighbourhood and it was only a short walk to the beach. We would definitely come back for a longer time next time

Perfectly located, it's close to everything; the ferry, the shops, the bars, the restaurants. We spent our time exploring the Island on foot. The house exceeded our expectations! The host, David was so great! He answered promptly to my texts when i had questions. I definitely recommend it!

Lovely stay!

We have been coming to the island every year since I was a kid and have been staying in OB at the same house for over 10. This was the first year in a long time we stayed somewhere new and this was a great find! Quiet location with easy, walkable access to downtown, inkwell beach, and niantic park for the little ones. Everything was clean, kitchen and linens fully stocked. Bikes and beach toys available as well! Separate cottage was great for my parents who could get some rest since my little ones were up very very early! Property manager was very communicative, reaching out upon check in to make sure everything was okay. We needed to replace a light bulb and asked for a drying rack which was supplied the next day. He was also very communicative upon check out and understanding! Overall, a great experience and definitely would recommend for families with young children.

Lovely house, but stay marred by mice

Delightful house; great location. Unfortunately, our visit was marred by 3 mouse sightings over 2 days. Owner was responsive and personally came out to place multiple mouse traps in the home. Initially, my wife was quite uncomfortable staying there and annoyed we had to deal with mice on our luxurious vacation. When she expressed this to the owner, he called her "condescending." That was poor customer service on his part. It seemed he didn't understand the magnitude of the situation and felt she was overreacting. Owner attempted to find us another place to stay, but the houses were smaller, not nearly as nice and most were up-island. Given that 2 days of our stay were marred by the observance of mice and we felt an overall discomfort throughout the week knowing we were staying in a home that had a mouse infestation, and we had to be repeatedly interrupted by visits throughout the week from the caretaker and owner, we requested a refund for 2 nights; however, the owner refused, ultimately agreeing to refund just 1 night.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 4, 2022
Only one mouse was seen and one mouse was caught less than 24 hours after I was alerted about the mouse. Even though I was spoken to in such combative manner and while in the house I got yelled at and a door was slammed upstairs so hard, I felt the vibrations downstairs, I still remained respectful to my clients. I offered to buy dinner for Mark and his wife due to the inconvenience and he replied that would be very kind and fair. He accepted my offer and i gave him cash to dine at a place of his choosing. The next day his wife wanted $2,000 back which I thought was a little excessive.
