Perfect beach house for family. So close to beach and town but a little hidden gem surrounded by trees. The hot tub was wonderful. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend. Thank you
Check in was super easy. House came stocked with all the beach toys and grilling accessories. What ever you needed for a family vacation, this property had and the beach is a short drive down the street. We would definitely stay here again.
The best equipped rental we've encountered. Everything for the kitchen, lots of beach toys, bikes and games. Beautiful grounds with swings and activity center. We were a bit surprised at the location directly on Rt. 1, but the property is fenced and we ignored the sound of traffic! Very responsive host, easy check in and out. Wonderful for multigeneration family vacation.
Property was very nice with fully stocked kitchen and nice outdoor amenities (ex. Fire pit area, hot tub, comfortable gathering area under a gazebo. Short trip to Newport and several beaches. WiFI login was easy with barcode scanning. Instructions were very clear and thorough.
We really enjoyed our time at this property. It had everything you could possibly need. Brian was so attentive to a couple of minor things we ran into. We will definitely be back!
great place to have friends all come together and conveniently located! very clean, a lot of extra home amenities and a beautiful outdoor area. would love to book again if in the area!
what a great house. better than a hotel. plenty of linens, towels, paper goods, condiments, spices, games-inside and out, bikes, etc… no need to bring anything. great host!
This was the perfect home to spend time with extended family we don't get to see often. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us, especially with the outdoor space. The location was perfect as well. We hope we can do this again in the future.
We had a nice stay. The house was as advertised. Great yard with lots of things to do. Quick ride to the beach. Clear instructions and host responded to all inquiries quickly. Thanks for a great stay!
Excellent property, the house is very comfortable and it’s well-stocked with everything needed to enjoy time on the property or at the beach. Proximity to Rt 1 was not a problem at all. We had a great long weekend.
Clean, fully stocked home with many fun indoor and outdoor amenities. Fun for children and adults alike! Brian is a responsive host. Close to the highway, but still a great location and close to everything we wanted to do. Had a great time!
We booked the house for the weekend to see our daughter graduate from URI. The house looked exactly how it the pictures presented. It was clean and perfect for our family, we had nine people with us. The yard and deck were great for sitting out and it was easy to get to the places that we needed to get to. The owner was great and communicated everything we needed to stay. We had the best time doing a puzzle throughout the stay even during a busy weekend. We have left the puzzle in hopes that other families will sit together, laugh and have a great time as a family.
This property is perfect for our annual Girls Weekend/college reunion trip! Plenty of room for all in the house. We thoroughly enjoy the deck and the hot tub! The location is great with several fabulous restaurants close by and Newport just a short 30min drive. This is our 2nd stay at this property and we can’t wait for the next time!
We were in town for college tours for my oldest daughter. We really enjoyed the comfort of the home. It was very well stocked with everything you need. Even beach chairs, bikes, boogie boards, beach towels. We had a great 6 nights here. Highly recommended.

Why they chose this property
We had been looking at many beach houses for a few months, but because this house is right of off Rt 1 and 1.9miles to the beach, we almost did not consider this house at all. Boy would we have regretted that! The minute you pull into the driveway, you completely forget about the fact that just pulled off of Rt 1. The driveway drops down away from the traffic into a nice well kept yard with mature trees and primitive stone walls. The home is shielded from Rt 1 by a row of shurbs/trees as well as a secondary stockade fence. You cannot see traffic from almost anywhere and the sound of the traffic quickly becomes a white noise in the background. Our kids were running around the yard, climbing the stone walls, and were playing hide and seek within minutes. The covered deck is large and spacious, and the outdoor shower is nicer than most. We hadn't even made it into the house yet, and new that this house was "The One" as we felt we had just completely escaped from the hustle and bustle of the north east and were on vacation already! Once we walked into the home and saw how nicely it was, we didn't care to look at any other houses that day. But all that was left was the beach. Now, we had looked at many beach houses and many, many beaches, both public and private, all the way from Plymouth, MA to Sandwich, MA, and South Dennis, MA to Westerly RI. The drive was a very short 4 min drive, and when we walked onto East Matunuck Beach, the kids immediately ran down toward the water and started making sand angels in the rockless sand. As we followed them over the dunes, I was talking to my wife about how this was the most beautiful beach we have seen during our search. When I was halfway to the water, I realized I was talking to myself. My wife had stopped at the dunes because she was struck by the beauty of this beach. We were sold! An offer was made almost immediately, and lucky for us (and you), after multiple failed offers elsewhere, this one was accepted.
