Nice location, house has character. Good for wildlife viewing. Well-equipped. Needs new full mattress on the ground floor. Some of the furniture is quite worn. Nicer outdoor furniture needed so as to spend more time outdoors.

Blissful

Large well equipped home with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The location on the pond was calm and restful with lots of bird activity. Near beaches, good shopping and a variety of good restaurants. Our third stay! Hope to come back.

Travelled for a Family Reunion and was very pleased with the home. Clean and well furnished.

We had a wonderful time. Would return again. The view is spectacular! Spent mornings during coffee out by the dock area watching the sunrise. Private setting made for a peaceful, relaxing, stay. Owner was very helpful and accommodating.

We had a very comfortable stay at Ponder. Loved the setting on the pond and the view from the very large picture window was fabulous. We felt like we were at a home away from home. The host was very accommodating when we needed to book an extra night and I also appreciated being able to talk with him ahead of time about all the amenities. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated having a washing machine and dryer. Location is a short drive to the beaches and to Watch Hill. We would definitely book here again!

We have returned to Ponder for a reason. The house could not be better situated, the view over the pond is spectacular, and it has, literally, all the comforts of home (with none of the headaches). The fact that our host is kind and accessible adds to the pleasure of our stay. We hope to return in 2026!

Cozy home with good bones. Truly enjoyed watching the sunrise over the salt pond and all the morning wildlife activity. The birds were a pleasure to watch. The beach pass was a bonus and the beach gear, which is provided, was outstanding. Loved all the gadgets and domajiggies in the well stocked kitchen. The town of Westerly never disappoints. Great memories were made.

Inside nice. Outside needs work

Dock is not safe to stand on, dive off of, or fish from. Trees and bushes need trimming, house needs paint. Lots of mosquitos

We call it RELAXATION

We had a perfect stay at this wonderful home. Ponder is a home that is truley loved and that love comes through loud and clear. We enjoyed the quiet and the privacy. No jet skis, no loud noices - just nature to "interupt" the quiet. My husband caught a bass right off the dock. The rooms are all a good size and the vew from the dining room table is just lovely. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. Martha and Bill

Bring a boat for Quahogs galore.

Our family had an excellent time at this property. As a heads up the bay the house is on is relatively deep so you'll need to bring a canoe or kayak if you intend to do some shell fishing, wading out is not really an option. Once out on the water we quickly found some of the most fruitful shell fishing I've ever experienced around the nearby islands. The clamming and sunset canoe cruises we took will definitely be some of my fondest memories of the year. The view from the house is great as it looks, on a clear day you can see the wind turbines on block island 20 miles away. The main TV having a gamecube with 4 functioning wavebird controllers was also a treat, nothing like relaxing with a game of Mario party with the kids after a long beach day. All in all we had a great week and we hope we can do it again next year.
