The Heart of Jamestown ranked as a super-host since 2019. We're owner occupied so only a text away 24/7. November 2024 a new king bed and chairs for a sitting area arrive!! We are walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and ferry service to Newport. Beavertail State Park & Fort Wetherill are a bike ride away . There is a private entrance with keypad, A/C, and one off street parking space. State Reg #00074-STR. What makes us special is the fact we love hosting, because you are a special guest within our 3 family home. Guest reviews routinely mention the homemade baked goods (I owned a bakery in the past), cleanliness of the space, and the central location. There is a 3 night minimum for this apartment, however we also have a 3rd floor B&B space with only a 1 night minimum if you want a quick get away, and don't mind stairs. We can't wait to meet you!

Lisa & Jim, Thank you for choosing to stay with me even after all the trouble you had booking on the platform! I sincerely appreciated your reflections on your visit and hope you do come back in the future. Thank you so much for leaving the apartment in immaculate shape! You two are the best.
One of the best stays I’ve had in years! Location is PERFECT - it truly is in the heart of Jamestown. The space is large, very comfortable, and well appointed. The owner left no stone unturned - so many nice details from fresh baked items upon arrival, to beach gear, and local recommendations for dining, events, and activities. I can’t wait to return for another visit!

Jodi, I'm so glad you had a great visit! Based on my location that is why I actually trade marked the name, Heart of Jamestown. Please come again and thank you for the amazing job you did cleaning it up before you left.
First, it was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean! Host (Connie) met us when we arrived, showed us around, and told us about local dining and places to see; and then she left us to enjoy the apartment and the town.

I'm glad you came to celebrate your anniversary! I hope you enjoyed the flowers and prosecco to help make things special. It's fun to be within walking distance of so many places to enjoy. You were wonderful guests. I hope our paths cross again!
Fabulous experience at the Island apartment in the Heart of Jamestown! The one bedroom unit is huge, has all the amenities of home, was so clean and updated and the location is perfect. Short walking distance to all that downtown Jamestown has to offer; many great restaurants, shops and the proximity to the water is so nice. The property owner is wonderful; very communicative and thinks of everything and more! She will surprise you with many thoughtful touches & extras. For those not knowing the area, Jamestown is a perfect central location for getting to Newport, Portsmouth and even Mystic, CT. This property has my highest recommendation! Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Thanks Kim & Rick, please stay in touch! I hope all goes well and then you can enjoy your next cruise adventure!
An absolutely beautiful spot from the cozy accommodations to the breathtaking gardens and koi pond! Home baked cookies and a Zucchini bread was a treat that lasted us our entire stay! The house is very neat and clean with many comforts of home! A short walk to restaurants , coffee shops and charming Jamestown center makes this rental the perfect place to stay!

Thanks for your review Cheryl. I know you've stayed at other places on the island before, so I really appreciate your high praise and rating. You were a pleasure to host, thank you for taking such good care of the apartment! Please come again, Connie
We had a rare weekend without kids and this apartment in the heart of Jamestown was perfect! We kept the car parked all weekend and walked, biked and took the ferry to get around all weekend. Super convenient location and cute and cozy apartment. Highly recommended!

I’m so glad you had such a nice little get-away! You were a pleasure to host. Thank you for your kind review of the “heart of Jamestown”. Hope to see you again!
If you’re scrolling through reviews trying to decide whether to stay here, let me save you some time — book it.I stayed in the first-floor apartment, and it was absolutely perfect. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. Connie made sure I had everything I needed for my stay — even surprising me with fresh baked goods, which was such a warm and personal touch.The location couldn’t be better. I rented a car but never even used it because everything was within walking distance.I visited in February — yes, I flew to the East Coast in winter! I expected the cold, but I didn’t expect to experience one of the worst blizzards on record. The power went out a couple of times, but Connie and her partner quickly got the generator running to keep everyone warm and safe. She checked in on me via text to make sure I had everything I needed, which meant so much during the storm.The next morning, they shoveled the snow from the front door all the way to the sidewalk so I could get out safely. Later that day, they cleared the driveway and even moved my car for me.Hands down, this was the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!Thank you so much Connie! I’ll see you again, in the summer!
This place is absolutely amazing!! My husband and I wanted to get away for a long weekend and the apartment was available. It was so cozy, very clean, and just the perfect spot! Within walking distance to the beach, the ferry, places to eat, and shops. Connie is the best! She left us homemade cookies, snacks, and a gift for staying. She also had brochures available in the apartment. We also loved the pond with the fish and all of the around. Just beautiful! We will definitely be back someday!

In every way I think you were meant to visit Jamestown! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even with the crazy weather this season! Thank you for leaving the apartment spotless. Come again :) Connie
Connie was a exceptional host starting with a homemade zucchini bread and choc. chip cookies, a basket of snacks and a bottle of wine. The property was spotless and all the accommodations you would need. Plenty of brochures in the room for things to do in the area even within walking distance. We had a wonderful time and would recommend to everyone.

BEST place to stay for Jamestown and Newport vacations
Connie was an unbelievable host. Her property was perfect - clean, large, comfortable, and close to everything. She was attentive when needed and gave us snacks! Most importantly she knew everything about the surrounding area, and really helped us sculpt our trip (without being remotely overbearing). I am 100% staying here again next time I’m in RI. Thank you Connie!

I'm glad you had such a nice visit, you are welcome back anytime! I'll take the island of Jamestown over Newport any day. Our location is ideal with everything within walking/biking distance. A ferry to Newport is fun too. I hope to see you next summer! Until then be well. :)
The apartment is just as described. It was all recently updated and a very comfortable space for the two of us. Connie was an excellent host, there to greet us and show us around when we arrived. The homemade wine and cookies were delicious and very much appreciated.
There's a host's book with lots of helpful information. The location was ideal, right on the main street, and a short walk to incredible restaurants, shops and the water. We hope to return soon!

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found everything comfortable and enjoyable and not to far from your son at URI. We hope to see you again 😊 Connie
Great location. Close to little shops, bakeries, restaurants, even a small brewery. Walking distance to ferry. Friendly people. Lots to do without the noise and hassle. Connie was a great host. Clean and well kept. Connie had homemade goodies waiting for us and enough to get us started if we forgot something or didn't feel like going to the market. Highly recommend!

Ed, you two were wonderful guests and I hope to see you again!
Connie was absolutely the best host we had so far. She welcomed us with a basket of treats and homemade pastries. The apartment was very well equipped and very clean. Connie was fast to answer our questions and made us confortable throughout our stay. The location on the main street was great, the firefighter station across the street was never an inconvenience. Overall one of our best stays. Thank you Connie!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you spent two weeks with me here at the Heart of Jamestown! I'm glad Pere' had great sailing experiences even though we had rain. I appreciated the flowers you left me, thank you! Please come again, you two were great!
We came to Jamestown to visit with family. This little apartment was just perfect! Super clean, new kitchen ware, spiffy bathroom….
And located steps from the harbor and restaurants.
We wondered if the fire station would be a problem but heard hardly a peep all week.
The landlady is a delight leaving cookies, wine and offfering help if needed.
We will surely book this apartment again! A+

Thank you Shari, you were wonderful guests and I really enjoyed having you visit. Thank you for your care of the apartment and leaving it so clean!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay in Jamestown. Our host was exceptional in every way. This apartment had everything you could ask for. Bed, sheets & towels were top quality. Also laundry facilities were easy to use & very clean. All our questions & concerns were dealt with immediately. Very friendly & cozy atmosphere. Walking distance to anything we needed was an added bonus. She handled our car emergency like family, turning a bad situation into a quickly resolved one. We can not say enough good things about this host & her commitment to her vacationers. We would HIGHLY recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a great place to relax or keep busy. You will find them both in Jamestown, Rhode Island

Gorgeous Apartment and Wonderful Host in Fantastic Location!
Our stay in Connie’s apartment was absolutely fantastic! She is an amazing lady and an incredible host who made us feel welcome immediately in her beautiful apartment. The apartment is bright, cheery and very clean with lots of storage space, and shelving. She decorated it beautifully and the attention to detail and effort she put into it to truly make it a home away from home was obvious to us both. She thought of every possible thing a visitor could need or want.
The full kitchen is large and sunny with lots of windows and everything we needed for eating in. One of her many amazing accomplishments throughout her life was being the owner of a bakery and, upon arriving, she made us the best homemade chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. On the morning of our departure, she gave us a freshly baked loaf of homemade zucchini bread with fresh zucchini from her garden… it was amazing!!!
The location of her apartment is perfect… right in the center of Jamestown in walking distance to restaurants, shops and the Jamestown Ferry.
Connie, we had a _wonderful_ time. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment. Looking forward to returning next summer!!!

About the host
Hosted by Connie Slick
Originally from Wisconsin I hang on to that Midwestern hospitality. For many years I owned a bakery while also working part time as a dental hygienist for 37 yrs. Frank owns USSUPERNET.com a website development, hosting and consulting business. I love hosting people and try to give space to each guest while also making them comfortable during their stay. Snacks and goodies are provided upon arrival.
Why they chose this property
I started hosting in 2019 and have held on to my Super Host rating because we truly care, and want you to feel safe and relaxed. Unlike some properties that are owned by absentee owners we work hard to help you plan an enjoyable visit. I do reach out to you by text after you book so you have my contact information. I prefer communicating this way about arrival times because I like to be home to greet you. Check in is normally between 1-3pm. If you need later please LMK. Jamestown has great outdoor spaces and this location is central to it all. We have off street parking for one car here, and based on our location you can walk or bike anywhere. Don't have a bike? Rent one, one block away. Take the ferry to Newport for the day and enjoy the craziness of the famous area, then return to our quaint town. This is a three family, owner occupied home. We do ask for people to be respectful of quiet time after 11pm. No parties, vaping, pets, or smoking. Beavertail State Park is approximately 3 miles, and Ft Wetherill is 1.2 miles away, both beautiful and worth seeing.
What makes this property unique
Jamestown is a gem. Most guests say they wished they stayed longer. Since we have a central location you can walk or bike most places. Beavertail State park is 1.7 miles (3rd oldest lighthouse in the country). Fort Weatherall is 1.2 miles and famous for scuba divers, cliffs, hiking trails. Golf course near bye too. My guests love to go to Newport by way of the ferry, then come back to a quiet village vs the crowds in Newport. Kayak, paddleboard rentals available 1 block away. Walk to the beach or bike anywhere. Places to eat all within walking distance so no worries on where to park. I'm available 24/7 for any concerns or questions. Visit www.jamestowntownhall.com to view any ordinance concerns.
