House and property were excellent as advertised. The owners were warm and responsive in their communications. We had a wonderful stay and would come back in a heartbeat!
This was our second visit to the Hideaway and it was amazing again. Love the privacy there yet it is just minutes from beautiful beaches as well as shopping and restaurants. Katrina is a wonderful host and we hope to be back again.
My dog and I had the best time here! We absolutely loved the property and how quiet it was. We go hiking a lot so having some trails right off the yard was nice. Other fave parts were the swing, front porch with rockers and outdoor shower!!!Katrina was super quick to respond to my questions and was very clear in instructions, including notes and labels around the house. This is truly a one of a kind home. Very family and dog friendly.
The Hideaway was a beautiful retreat in the woods and located minutes from beautiful beaches, stores and restaurants. So peaceful and relaxing. The unique house had everything one would need for a memorable stay- trips to the beach, relaxing on the deck or around the firepit, walking on the property wooded trails, admiring the views from the house or simply listening to the birds. I would love to return.
We just spent a peaceful three weeks at The Hideaway and loved every minute of it. Great private location close to several cute towns and beaches, convenient to Wakefield and Westerly, and not far to Providence. Responsive, gracious owner. We plan to come back to The Hideaway as soon as we can! Even our dog loved it. Thank you.
Property was very nice- a little too much house for one person, but very quiet comfortable. The bed was large and super comfy-which is big with me. I have a very nice stay!!
We had a fantastic week at the Hideaway! The house is within easy driving distance to many great beaches and day trips around RI. Our family would definitely recommend The Hideaway and would love to return in the future!
The hideaway was the perfect spot for us for a travel sports weekend. It was cozy and clean and had all the amenities we needed. My kids loved the outdoor shower! We would definitely go back.
We loved our stay. To be so close to everything yet feeling like you're away from everything. Our own little island in Rhode Island. Coming back for sure!!!
Beautiful house in a serene setting. Everything was lovely. They thought if everything. Close to everything.sad to leave. The hosts were very accommodating.
This was my first time exploring the beautiful state of Rhode Island and the location and property were perfect. Perfect space, nice amenities available to use, ample property to explore. The visit was perfect! Thank you for sharing your property with us, I would visit again.
This is our second stay at The Hideaway in as many years. We loved it just as much as we did our first trip. The weather wasn’t great, but that makes the fire pit that much better! We were able to use the outdoor shower (and it’s a nice outdoor shower!) and I’m so glad we got to see the turret. This house is so livable and comfortable, the area is great, and Katrina is so easy to contact, helpful, and gives great insight into local sights.
We love this house! House is off the beaten path and very private, but beaches are still just minutes away. Outdoor shower was amazing. So cute. Everything well thought out including a garden hose right next to the front porch to rinse off any beach sand. We will be back!
We loved everything about our stay at the Hideaway! The location, its proximity to the coastline, the lovely setting, gardens and lawn, the comfy furniture, up-to-date decor, the porches, the trail surrounding the property, the outdoor shower, the well stocked kitchen and the overall cleanliness of the house - it was all perfect!
Thank you for allowing us and our three Golden Retrievers to call the Hideaway home for this past week!
What an amazing property! Accurately named the Hideaway, we felt like we were far from civilization nestled in the woods. We were actually minutes away from everywhere we wanted to visit. Perfect central location! The beautiful well maintained house had everything we needed and was comfy and cozy. The grounds were beautiful and our pup loved it too! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, we hated leaving!
With the bonus of near perfect weather during our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the “hideaway,” a unique home set in a very lovely space with outdoor seating, yard, woodland-like borders and a short drive from the beaches. Kitchen has what u need and the beds/room can easily accommodate a smallish family. All the windows make it feel bigger than it is. The house did have a noticeable sot smell, maybe someone used the fireplace before us? But it wasn’t unbearable. we’d gladly stay here again.
We had high hopes for this trip, and The Hideaway exceeded all of our expectations. The property was exactly what we needed. Secluded and quiet with all of the amenities. Our daughter loved playing on the playground, the grill was used daily, and we never showered inside because why would you when there’s an outdoor shower? Between mornings at Blue Shutters, cups of Del’s on the beach, ice cream at Brickley’s, clam cakes and chowder at Iggy’s and Monahan’s, we checked off every box for a perfect trip to southern Rhode Island. Thank you Katrina for being a wonderful host. We hope to visit the Hideaway again in the future.
Photos just do do this property justice, it is beautiful, quiet, and very private. Katrina was wonderful and our stay was so much better than we hoped. The driveway is long, steep, and gravel, but well maintained so take care if you have a very low car. Our AWD SUV never slipped a tire even on a heavy rain day so just be aware and don't let this cause you to miss out on this hidden gem. Can't wait to come back.
