We loved everything about our stay. If I could just make one suggestion it would be to plan an extra day just to relax and hang out. Great home. Great pool. Great outdoor space. Great location.

The whole house was clean and comfortable and the owner was so easy to talk to and very accommodating! It was the perfect bachelorette weekend getaway and I would definitely plan future trips to come back to this home! Just note the pool isn’t open until Memorial Day weekend.

This is an exceptional property in a premier location. Check-in was easy. Communication with the owner (Mary) was seamless, timely and enjoyable. And the house and grounds were clean and enjoyable. We had a terrific time and would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting the island.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Middletown home. The backyard is a dream — the pool is spotless and perfect for relaxing after the beach, and the outdoor space is private and beautifully maintained. The kitchen is another highlight: modern, spacious, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for family meals or entertaining.What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the owner. They are incredibly organized, responsive, and communicative, which made the whole process smooth from booking through check-out. Every detail was thought of, and it was clear how much care they put into making guests feel welcome.We can’t recommend this home highly enough and look forward to staying again on our next trip to Rhode Island!

Lovely inside and out!

This is a big, great looking home with a stellar outdoor living space as well. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 to sit, cook, eat, sun, swim & play games. We were on a girls weekend and so happy to find a property with six beds! The primary bed and bath were especially nice, but every room was comfortable. The kitchen has been nicely updated and has plenty of room to hang out and eat, with a pretty, long island and a generous round table. The host was very receptive when we had questions, he got right back to us and the process was quite smooth. The outdoor pool and backyard were really nice, big and attractive. We actually canceled a dinner reservation one night because we were so enjoying the yard and pool.

A complete disappointed

The owner told us that the house was not left in a clean condition. That is not true. We responded to the statement and sent time-stamped pictures refuting his statement and requested that he send pictures to support his claim. He did not do so. Unfortunately, we had a number of issues with the property. We pointed out the following to him: . Upon arrival, the house was not prepared for occupancy. There were dirty dishes in the sink. There were also wet clothes left in the laundry room. . The guest shower and sink did not work. We spent three (3) hours attempting to have running water. We were never able to have hot water. . The fire alarm sounded three (3) times. We had to spend another hour addressing this issue. . The dishwasher did not work. We washed his dishes which were left in the sink and our dishes throughout the weekend. . The property was not as advertised as it was a bed short of the listing description. . One of the beds was defective and broke. We promptly alerted him of this. Also, it was quite disturbing to discover a video camera on the property. VRBO policy requires that any video camera be disclosed. He failed to do so.
