This is a perfect house for family gatherings! We found the kitchen to be well stocked with everything we needed to cook multiple large meals which is hugely helpful when traveling. We hugely appreciated having firewood available too! Would love to book the house again in the future.

Great visit

This is a nice house on a beautiful piece of land. It had more than enough room for the five of us, and the kitchen was well equipped. The pictures of the outdoors really don’t do justice to what a lovely spot it is. We also really enjoyed exploring the area.

Beautiful property, manicured, expansive and well groomed with a pond in the back…what could be better?! Comfortable outdoor furniture for dining, great outdoor shower and lots of space inside for sleeping, socializing and eating together. Baby cousins played together and the beaches nearby were perfect. Comfy furniture too! Work space was great for those working virtually also. Loved it!

A once in a lifetime stay

My cousins and I were doing a family reunion in Little Compton and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The hosts were quick to reply, kind and incredibly helpful. We highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for an all around perfect vacation. We are excited to book here again.

Magical Family Vacation

We were welcomed with a plate of Little Compton themed iced sugar cookies...a delicious start to our stay!The well maintained property was tucked away down a country road and sat on Quick Sand Pond. It was pastoral and beachy all at once...spectacular.The house was roomy, immaculate and well stocked.Tons of stuff to do in the area: beach, breweries, hiking, or just hanging out in the yard.The owners were easy to reach and quick to respond to the few questions we had.Highly recommend this property.

Lovely property and home

We had a multi-generational family staying for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the house. It had plenty of room to stretch out, and also to gather together. The grounds are amazing, and we really enjoyed the kayak/boat access on the pond.

Wonderful house with all we needed for large family group. Kids loved playing in the massive yard and trying to catch fireflies. Adults enjoyed relaxing and kayaking on the pond and watching the swans swim by. Close to plenty of activities but feels like your in your own world.

Beach week

My family had a great week in Little Compton despite less than ideal weather. The property is very private and beautiful, great place to just sit outside and socialize. The house is well equipped and accommodated both the adults and kids. My one complaint is the lack of shades in the 2nd floor bedrooms. The early light meant that the children especially were waking up much earlier than usual.
