Our stay in Kingston was truly made memorable by our VRBO home away from home. The setting was incredible, quite literally on the water. The house itself was perfect: quaint yet thoughtfully updated. The owners clearly went to great lengths to preserve its 1960s–1970s charm while still ensuring everything works exactly as a modern traveler hopes. Nothing felt hastily renovated or “thrown up in a weekend”; the character of the home shines through in every room.Our host was wonderfully attentive from the moment we checked in, offering guidance on things to do in the Kingston area—local gems we never would have found in a guidebook. The kitchen was easy to work in, the bathrooms all functioned flawlessly, and the pickleball court was so close to the deck that we joked it might actually be part of the deck. Our kids—and let’s be honest, we adults too—played nearly every day.Grocery stores were just around the bend with plenty of options, and restaurants were everywhere you turned. We loved watching the tides roll in and out, and our strolls down to the dock rewarded us with eagles and other wildlife that made us feel like we were starring in our own nature documentary.But the best part? My wife looked around, took a deep breath of that Kingston air, and said, “I could live here.” And honestly, I couldn’t agree more. What a wonderful place.
