Relaxing Beach Vacation

Enjoyed a relaxing stay. Clean home. Mostly well appointed (did not include sheets and bath towels). Wonderful location very short walk to the beach and access behind rental to put in a kayak or paddle board. Owners were very helpful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location!

I stayed in this sweet little cottage with my husband, infant, our best friends and their two little ones. The location was excellent- walking distance to the beach, ice cream, and a cute breakfast/coffee spot. The hosts are extremely communicative and helpful. The sunset view from the front porch was the perfect way to end a fun and busy day on the beach. The backyard, especially the area by the water, has a lot of poison ivy so we did not feel comfortable letting the kids run around back there. It was a bit of a bummer because the backyard outdoor space was something we were looking forward to. The downstairs apartment was very dark and was not great to spend time on rainy days, but the upstairs was great.

Great location, greats hosts

We rented the entire unit (upstairs and downstairs) for our friends birthday. The two units are completely separate but 11 of us fit very comfortably. The upstairs rental would be awesome for just a couple to rent! The porch upstairs had a great view and the back lower deck was nice and cozy. There are 2 grills which was a huge plus for our backyard BBQ. The kitchens are furnished and there are coffee pots in both units which was great. We were able to walk 2 minutes to a private portion on Misquamicut and there is a place to launch your kayak or canoe right in the back yard. There was a drive in movie theatre up the road we went to on Friday night and we were able to uber to the Andrea on Saturday when the weather wasn't that great. If you're not familiar with the area, Silvia and Nick put together a nice little guide of restaurants and things to do. We took one of there recommendations for Sunday breakfast and it was great! Sylvia was very responsive via phone and text and left detailed instructions for how to care for the home which was very helpful. I highly recommend staying here with a large/small group or couple.

Great, Quiet Location!

We were provided the whole House (both Units) for a Bachlorette Party - the layout was much different then what was perceived but we made it work! Unfortunately we spent most of our time downstairs because there was only outdoor access to the upstairs unit - so it wasn’t very easily accessible. Especially because we were totally rained out the whole weekend and had one guest on crutches. The upstairs Unit is much more modern with the view (awesome by the way!) but again, it was a total waste for us. We made our way to the back private breezeway, which was very a great touch, but didn’t see any private beach. Again, we didn’t do much exploring outside, we were washed out so we could’ve missed it. There was no laundry available to use in the units, that’s definitely something we could’ve used. The location is great, close to everything and very quiet. Plenty of room and parking. Big backyard if you were to entertain and the Hosts were nice and even accommodated an early check-in which was very helpful!

Great location. Nice house.

Great table for playing games. Beds comfortable. Patio and BBQ very nice. A screen door in the front would have been nice for airflow. It was warm while we were there.

Bachelorette weekend was great

We rented both floors of the house and had plenty of space for our small party of 7. We spent most of our time in the upstairs living room and on the huge 1st floor back deck. Walk to the beach and seafood. Spectacular sunset and sunrise. The canal is simply beautiful. We took a quick ride to the drive in to see Jaws which was a really fun experience.

Great getaway spot in Westerly

Nick and Sylvia have a perfect home for a summer getaway. Our family and friends rented both units and it also everyone comfortably while offering prime beach access. Great views from the upper deck and backyard access to the water if you bring a kayak or canoe. Very friendly neighborhood! Nick and Sylvia are 5 star hosts.

Peaceful, Cozy, and Comfotable

Nicholas and Silvia are very gracious and welcoming hosts who are very approachable and did their best to make our stay as nice as possible. We really enjoyed renting from them. The house was ideal for the large group we had and it was great to have two separate areas my parents and siblings and my husband, kids and myself. The beach was so close and very nice, but one of the main highlights of the trip was kayaking in the breachway right behind the house! We spent so much time at the beach and kayaking that we didn't even have time to explore some of the other local attractions! The house has had lots of updates and is very attractive and homey. There are some things that still need updated and improved, but they are minor. We would happily come back and spend more time. Thank you Nicholas and Silvia for making this special time happen for our family!
