This is a perfect house for family gatherings! We found the kitchen to be well stocked with everything we needed to cook multiple large meals which is hugely helpful when traveling. We hugely appreciated having firewood available too! Would love to book the house again in the future.
The Quicksand House was amazing! We stayed the week and everything was just as expected! Very clean and plenty of space for everyone! We are definitely going to be coming back!
Very quiet and private location. House and property is very nice with lots of space to play outside and had basically everything we needed there for a great family vacation.
This is a nice house on a beautiful piece of land. It had more than enough room for the five of us, and the kitchen was well equipped. The pictures of the outdoors really don’t do justice to what a lovely spot it is. We also really enjoyed exploring the area.
Beautiful property, manicured, expansive and well groomed with a pond in the back…what could be better?! Comfortable outdoor furniture for dining, great outdoor shower and lots of space inside for sleeping, socializing and eating together. Baby cousins played together and the beaches nearby were perfect. Comfy furniture too! Work space was great for those working virtually also. Loved it!
My cousins and I were doing a family reunion in Little Compton and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The hosts were quick to reply, kind and incredibly helpful. We highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for an all around perfect vacation. We are excited to book here again.
We were welcomed with a plate of Little Compton themed iced sugar cookies...a delicious start to our stay!The well maintained property was tucked away down a country road and sat on Quick Sand Pond. It was pastoral and beachy all at once...spectacular.The house was roomy, immaculate and well stocked.Tons of stuff to do in the area: beach, breweries, hiking, or just hanging out in the yard.The owners were easy to reach and quick to respond to the few questions we had.Highly recommend this property.
Grandparents, 3 sons and families, 4 grandchildren ages 12 to 17stayed and house fit all of us very comfortably! Played games in house and in the backyard! Biked and rowed to the beach! Some of us drove! House had everything we needed! Hosts were very helpful!
Hosts were very friendly and made the stay seamless! A beautiful and spacious home perfect for our group of friends to ring in the new year together. Would love to come back in the warmer months:)
This was our second time staying at this property and it just never disappoints. Thank you Sara and Jeff for letting us enjoy your beautiful home once gain.
Gorgeous property daily views of wildlife. S’mores every night at firepit. Whole family 6 adults 3adult kids and 5 grandkids hope to have our annual family reunion here.
We had a multi-generational family staying for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the house. It had plenty of room to stretch out, and also to gather together. The grounds are amazing, and we really enjoyed the kayak/boat access on the pond.
If you are looking to connect with nature this is the perfect place. Beautiful scenery. We had everything that we needed and the owners where very welcoming. They made sure that we would enjoy our stay.
We rented this property for a family get together and it did not disappoint! Gorgeous, clean and well maintained, private, well appointed....it was everything we hoped for. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us!
This property is as advertised - lots of space for a group getaway. The property is secluded on lots of land. The owners are very engaged and respond to questions promptly. There is a nice grocery store nearby that has everything you could want. I definitely recommend this property!
Wonderful house with all we needed for large family group. Kids loved playing in the massive yard and trying to catch fireflies. Adults enjoyed relaxing and kayaking on the pond and watching the swans swim by. Close to plenty of activities but feels like your in your own world.
My family had a great week in Little Compton despite less than ideal weather. The property is very private and beautiful, great place to just sit outside and socialize. The house is well equipped and accommodated both the adults and kids. My one complaint is the lack of shades in the 2nd floor bedrooms. The early light meant that the children especially were waking up much earlier than usual.
We really enjoyed our stay at Quicksand Pond. We were in town for a family wedding in Westport. My 4 children, their spouses and my 5 grandchildren and I were very comfortable in your lovely home. The kids loved kayaking and spending time around an evening campfire. Thanks so much!
Fantastic house with everything you could possibly need in an ideal location close to everything.
Sara the host (owner) is always available and responds quickly to any request or questions you may have.
We have been renting in Little Compton for many years and will return for our 3rd stay here - its the perfect vacation home for our large family !
