About this property
The Waves® Carriage House Apartment
Charming 2-bedroom apartment conveniently located in the desirable south end of Jamestown Village, about mid-way between East Ferry and West Ferry. Walk to Mackerel Cove, downtown restaurants and shops, Jamestown Arts Center, several beaches, tennis and golf. Newport is a 10-minute car ride, or for a fun day on the Bay, catch the Jamestown Ferry. This peaceful oasis is surrounded by mature shade trees, stone walls, perennial gardens and fruiting blueberry bushes. Architect-designed and custom built, The Waves apartment is attached to the main house but is utterly private, with its own yard and outside entrance. Convenient off-street parking for one car just steps from the apartment door, plus on-street parking for additional cars.
Elegant styling with every modern convenience. Open floor plan combines living/dining/kitchen area. Cathedral ceilings, skylights and a central cupola create a bright and airy interior. In the living room, French doors open to a west-facing balcony with sunset views and sea breezes. Gourmet kitchen with cherry-top bar and four stools, granite counter tops, quality cookware and elegant barware. Living room has hardwood floors, while bedrooms are carpeted and the bathroom floor is tile. Central air conditioning with two zones, plus ceiling fans in every room and large opening windows and French doors. Laundry area with washer, dryer, iron & ironing board.
Two bedrooms, each with one queen bed. The master bedroom is large (17' x 22') with a comfortable seating area. It features a queen bed, 2 bedside tables with lamps, bureau, desk, closet, comfy couch, three stuffed chairs and a coffee table. Bed linens, towels and beach towels are included. The second bedroom is smaller, featuring a queen bed, bureau,two bedside tables with lamps, and walk-in closet. A rollaway bed is available. One full bath features tub/shower, tile floors, and European vanity with granite top and double sinks.
The pleasant backyard is bordered by perennial beds and high-bush blueberries. There's a small patio with gas BBQ grille and a dining table that seats four for al fresco dining out of doors.
Supplies include: Paper products, soap, wraps, spices and basic staples for the kitchen. Convenience items include hairdryer, iron and ironing board, board games, playing cards, flashlights, barbecue utensils, lobster pot and crackers, a good reading library, and guides to area attractions. If there's something more you need, just ask!
A note about fees: The Waves of Jamestown® is available for booking on the VRBO platform, select realtors and directly on its website. Every effort is made to minimize add-on fees. The cleaning fee of $150 is the actual wage paid to the cleaning crew. RI State Sales and Room tax of 8% does not apply to stays of 31+ days. If you have any questions, please contact Property Owner Betsy Gooding, visit The Waves of Jamestown® website, or contact VRBO. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Betsy Gooding
Betsy built The Waves with a flexible layout in order to welcome guests the year around while enjoying travel of her own. She is rooted in the community and happy to steer guests to local sailing, kayaking, tennis, golf, beaches, galleries, restaurants, Newport mansions, nearby islands, and hidden gems.
Why they chose this property
Jamestown offers unsurpassed quality of life that combines small town ambience, scenic beauty and numerous enrichment activities for children. We incorporated a separate guest wing when we we built in 2010 because we love to entertain and to welcome guests to Jamestown. Location is 3 blocks from Mackerel Cove beach, on a quiet street.
What makes this property unique
Jamestown is unique on the Eastern Seaboard because of its incomparable beauty, rural character, working farms, multiple access points to Narragansett Bay, and relaxed atmosphere. As year-round residents, we enjoy walking access to fine restaurants, marinas, galleries, churches, hiking trails, town offices, an excellent public library, recreation center and business district. Newport is just 10 minutes away by car; the Jamestown Ferry is a fun way to access downtown Newport and Rose Island in summer. Jamestown offers easy access to major metropolitan areas via Route 95 and T.F. Green Airport.
