About the host
Hosted by Patti & Jack Houston
We have lived and worked in Rhode Island most of our lives. In addition to the wonderful seafood and the local history in our state, we love the ocean and our coastal communities. We are lucky enough to live just 20 minutes from the ocean and we spend as much time as we can along the coast. From the shores of Charlestown and Westerly to the docks of Newport and the quiet beauty of Block Island, we truly appreciate the riches we have here in Rhode Island. Our decision to become a VRBO host was an easy one - we want to share this beautiful area with others and hope to give our guests the same experience that we feel when we are by the water's edge.
Why they chose this property
Our house is in a very quiet, well-maintained community with the charm of Charlestown on every street. This neighborhood is tucked away from the rush of the beach scene and modern life, yet close to lively coastal activity offering plenty of movement and energy throughout the day. During the warmer months, families head toward Charlestown Town Beach and East Beach, where surfers, swimmers, and sun-seekers create a lively coastal atmosphere. Kayakers and birdwatchers gather around the tranquil waters of Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge and Ninigret Pond, while seasonal markets, small shops, and local eateries add a gentle buzz to the town center. Part of this balance comes from Charlestown’s commitment to conservation and community character. With large natural areas like Ninigret Park and protected shoreline landscapes, development remains modest compared with other coastal destinations. The result is a town where visitors can enjoy vibrant beach life and outdoor recreation, while residents still experience the quiet comfort of a small coastal neighborhood. For those who want to experience more activity throughout the day, Westerly, Narragansett and Newport are just a short drive away.

The kitchen is fresh and inviting, with smooth countertops, neatly arranged dishes, and plenty of space to cook. Everything feels organized and easy to use. A small dining table sits in the kitchen, perfect for slow breakfasts or relaxed dinners. The bedrooms are quiet and restful. Beds are made with crisp linens and fluffy pillows. Towels, soap, shampoo and a blow dryer is available in the two bathrooms to make packing for your time away less troublesome. Outside, there’s a simple deck with comfortable chairs where you can drink coffee in the morning or relax in the peacefulness and warmth of the evening.
