Amazing location

Wonderful family vacation spot. Options to swim at a beautiful ocean beach or off the dock on a salt pond. Evenings around the fire pit, lawn games, and barbecues rounded out the activities for our three generation family.

Family Vacation on the RI Shore

This is our third visit to this property; we love the location on a salt pond with access to Atlantic beaches. The fire-it is also much used and appreciated. The house is large enough to accommodate our family and everyone loves being there!

Family Vacation

House is perfectly situated for a beach vacation, so close to Fenway Beach. We were a group of seven adults and an infant. Bedrooms were generous and we loved having three bathrooms. The variety of living spaces worked well for us and the kitchen well equipped.

a dreamy place

My family and I enjoyed our stay so much. The house is warm, welcoming, and huge, with plenty of space for little ones to play and explore. The property was dreamy. I only wish we could have enjoyed the outdoors more but the mosquitos were intolerable. Karen was super responsive and helpful!

Lovely time at the shore

Our group had a great time at this rental. The house was perfect for us, including both sleeping and hangout space. The kitchen had all the essentials needed to cook a variety of meals - and we did. The outdoor spaces were the best part, though. The yard was a blast to play around in and it seemed like there was never a time when someone wasn’t down at the dock, either in one of the boats, swimming or just enjoying the quiet. The surrounding area also kept us busy with enough things leftover that we’d have plenty for a return trip. Overall it was a very successful trip for our group and the rental played a big part in that

Dreamy Stay

We had a wonderful time at Whale’s Watch. The house and grounds were better than expected for our large, extended family. We didn’t want to leave as we were so happy and comfortable. We needlessly packed a lot because we found practically everything we could have wanted or needed was well provided. The views were beautiful and all ages found a perfect niche. The younger adults loved the fire pit every night. We were a stone’s throw and afforded access to our beloved Weekapaug. Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful Haversham property. Loved looking at all the art and family pictures too! We are Quonnie fans, for sure!

Wish we were still in Haversham

We enjoyed our 2 weeks in Haversham! We swam, dove and flipped from the dock, paddled on the pond, and canoed across the pond to the beach. We rented for two weeks and our kids were able to participate in the Weekapaug YC sailing program. We used the beach buttons and parking passes to go to the Inn Beach which is 2 miles long and is incredible for running, walking, beach games, skim boarding and swimming. Some days, we drove to Fenway Beach because we took many toys to boogie board in the waves, also great for skim boarding. The kids took surf lessons four mornings at Fenway Beach. We also went mountain biking at Burlingame, just a 10 minute drive away. We enjoyed restaurants in Westerly and Stonington. And, we ventured to the Weekapaug Inn after the beach a couple days for drinks, appetizers and games of shuffleboard and bocce. The house had everything we needed to grill and eat at home. We enjoyed bonfires. And the Cowles kindly left s'more fixings! Thank you for sharing your home. We want to spend more time in RI on the pond and at the beach next year!!

Beautiful!

We stayed at Whale’s Watch for a week. The cleanliness, privacy, the large backyard, fire pit, and private dock furnished us with the perfect summer setting for our family to windsurf, kayak, and enjoy meals together. Karen gets an A-plus for being a wonderful and responsive host. We look forward to returning. Thank you, Karen!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Swimming, kayaking, time on the beach, s’mores around the fire pit, lawn games and exploring all that this part of Rhode Island has to offer kept our family group happy; we hated to leave!

Family Vacation

We picked this property because it had access to the Weekapaug beaches but we ended up loving the house because of its peaceful setting, beautiful yard and private dock. We made use of all the beach toys, chairs (though all but two chairs could be updated), and kayaks/canoe that were at the house and dock. Overall, it was so nice for my family to reconnect to the Weekapaug area after going here since our childhood. We would definitely stay again in the future!

Perfect

I love this place so much I almost don't want to write a review because I want it to be our secret spot. The house is amazing, lots of fun games for the kids, a swing and a beautiful yard. The house has everything you could need. Having a private dock and ability to get over to a private beach is our favorite. We would do dock at high tide and we would paddleboard (we brought our own) or kayak and swim. At lower tide, we would head over to beach and have more privacy than I ever thought possible in the Northeast. This was our second stay here and the communication with the owner is always prompt and helpful. Schedule permitting, we will definitely go back.

Pictures don't do justice

What a perfect home for our multi-generational vacation. Exceeded our expectations in every way, from the very well appointed kitchen, the ample space for 10, the many thoughtful touches throughout this lovely space inside and out. We've done a lot of VRBO etc stays, and this one was a hit for all of us. Highly recommend a stay here.
