A good home base for travels in the Newport/Wakefield/Narragansett RI area. Near historic town, with good food and ice cream. Well equipped home, including stand mixer, herbs, pots and pans supply, utensils, paper products and more. Decorating makes it feel uber cozy.We were there for a Boomer generation reunion of 7 of us. It was a little tricky getting in (some stairs and narrowish doorway), but I addressed this with the owners. They are really easy to contact and work with.We spent large portions if time gathered in the living room watching old family movies and having spirited discussions. I recommend this property for a family gathering or as a home base for local exploration and discoveries.
Lisa's home was perfect for our two young kids over the course of a month. It truly felt like a home away from home. Clear throughout, with fully stocked kitchen. We never felt like we needed anything for the entire stay. If we needed anything, Lisa was super responsive by text and communicated throughout. We would stay again!
We appreciated the quality, cleanliness, and comfort of this beautiful south county home. Lots of thoughtful little extras that were a treat for these tired parents vacationing with three kids under 12. From welcome snacks to bubbles to bug spray, we had everything we needed. AC is actually ductless, not central, but it kept us nice and cool all the same. The beach supplies were wonderful. Thank you and we hope to return in the future!
This is our second year staying and it was just as wonderful as the first! The property is in a great location close to lots of shops and restaurants. The house has great amenities and is very clean and well maintained. Looking forward to next year!
Our stay was amazing! The house accommodated our family well, giving us space as well as places to gather. The location was ideal-proximity to varied places of interest for all. Lisa and Steve are the best hosts we have ever had for Vrbo vacations- friendly, accommodating and thoughtful.
Thank you!!!
Our family considers this spot in Wakefield Rhode Island our summer home! It is 10 minutes to Scarborough or Narragansett Beach and it is five minutes from downtown Wakefield. Both of which my family of all ages enjoy tremendously. The house is absolutely adorable and very well maintained. it is spotless when we arrive and has everything we need. Honestly, I just can’t imagine a summer without a stay on Allen Street.
This is our second year staying at the Allen House and it was just as good, if not better, than the first! Lisa and Steve go out of their way to make you feel like their personal guests. The house is also incredibly comfortable and has anything you might possibly need for a great vacation. We especially love all of the beach items-- boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc. We cannot wait to come back again next summer!
We had an awesome time at this beautiful home. We have been renting in South County for 13 years and this house was definitely top notch. The owners were very friendly and responsive and went above and beyond to provide everything we could possibly need. The house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The deck/yard was perfect for my girls to play and for us to relax. I would definitely recommend!!
We had another amazing vacation on Allen Street. The house is clean, has a wonderful layout, and is very nicely decorated. It is also well-equipped and comes with an abundance of welcome treats. Lisa and Steve have thought of everything! We hope to go back again next summer! Thank you so much!
Our family stayed at the Allen House for two weeks this summer and had an amazing stay. When it comes to this vacation rental, the owners have truly thought of everything! We were greeted with two bountiful gift baskets-- the perfect surprise after a long day of traveling. The home was clean and beautifully decorated and included everything we needed for a fun beach vacation. The drive to the beach is quick and easy, and we loved being able to escape the crowds and come back to our little relaxing haven each day. Wakefield is also super cute and has lots of little stores and restaurants to check out. I would highly recommend this home to anyone vacationing in RI and hope to stay here again in the future!
2nd year renting this house and I’m hopeful we can rent again next summer. It’s perfect for us and close enough to everything we enjoy doing as a family. Love it
With all sincerity, I can honestly say that this was the best vacation rental that I've ever stayed in. They provide all necessities and then some. The house is immaculate. My family and I will definitely be renting it again next year! Thank you so much Lisa and Steve for your generosity and hospitality.
Our family of five adults had a wonderful week at this great, spacious house! It is updated beautifully, very clean, and had all the necessities (and more) supplied.
Our stay at the Allen House was perfect. Steve and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed, and the house was clean, roomy, and so relaxing.
The house is a short and easy 7-8 minute drive to the beaches in Narragansett and a very leisurely, short, and beautiful walk to downtown Wakefield. We especially loved being able to walk downtown to the ice cream shop and apothecary/soda fountain each day and sitting outside in the picturesque backyard each morning and evening. This house is an absolutely wonderful place to stay! Thank you, Steve and Lisa!
We chose this property because it looked so peaceful and we wanted space for everyone. The pictures were right on the money. It was exactly as pictured and it was a vibe for sure. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will be back. It was centrally located to shops, restaurants and beaches all within 15-30 minutes depending on what you are looking for. The owners thought of every detail from a fully equipped kitchen right down to the spices to all the beach items needed for a day at the beach. We celebrated my daughter’s high school graduation with a trip to RI with close family, and could not have asked for a more wonderful time. Thank you to the Walsh”s!!!
The Allen House really exceeded our expectations. If you like style, you'll love the vibe and lots of little touches that make it unique. It's very spacious and lots of living space, with privacy between bedrooms. It's so convenient to shops, restaurants and the beach but the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Thanks Lisa and Steve and I can't wait to come back!

Everything was a great and wonderful experience!!! House was adorable and had everything you could need. Great location.. near lots of things to do. Property owners couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. Highly recommend!
We were welcomed to Lisa and Steve's charming home with a tray of treats on the counter and in the fridge. It was beyond generous! Their home is freshly decorated with lots of attention to detail and was stocked with anything anyone would need for a beach vacation. We did run out of propane during our two-week stay and Steve promptly brought us a new tank. The house is in a wonderful location - a short walk to town and a short drive to several beaches. We had a wonderful stay and hope to go back next summer.
It was a wonderful week and a wonderful house. There is absolutely nothing negative to say. It’s was clean, comfortable, cozy and spacious. Check in was amazing ( baskets galore!) and just all around perfect. I walked 2 miles every morning and even that was perfect!!! 5-10 mins from everything you want and need. Downtown Wakefield was lovely. Would rent again in a minute!
This house was perfect for our summer needs. Although there was a perfume cleaning smell when we first arrived, it aired out nicely. Great open space dining, kitchen living area. The three bedroom areas are separate for privacy. With small children this works great! The outdoor fenced patio and yard were perfect for relaxing. The kitchen had so many nice provisions when we arrived. This was much appreciated.
We could walk to town for dining and water fire on the river. Found a great little pottery studio down the street.
The decor is beachy teal which we loved! A fresh new sofa would make the place perfect! We will be back!
