Beautiful beach house We booked this house for a family vacation with our 2 grown children and 2 dogs. The house was in a great location with beautiful water views and awesome sunsets. The inside of the house was nicer than the listing and offered tons of space to hang out. We made a concerted effort to use each of the common areas. The bedrooms were large and we could have fit another 4 people in the twin rooms off of the primary suite. The yard is fenced in and was totally secure for our pups. That was a huge plus. The kitchen was well stocked and this was not one of those VRBOs where you need to pack every little thing (like garbage bags, napkins, etc). We loved our time there and would definitely book again!!

This is disappointing. It would have been nice to hear how you came to be our only rating below a 4 in 11 years and 157 ratings. I can only guess this was a mistake. I thought you might have appreciated me taking time off of work and meeting your professional baby/VRBO planner in advance of your rental period for an hour to ensure you and your baby's comfort.
The host was amazing and I've stayed in a lot of VRBO rentals and this was the only house that made me feel like my own home.

Unfortunately we will never stay here again. The house was dirty, cluttered and not a relaxing space. We had to ask them to bring cleaning people back because there were spider webs everywhere and the toilets were“clean” but did not look clean. We couldn’t use any of the outdoor furniture because of how disgusting they were, however we tried to clean them ourselves… false advertising about having a fully stocked kitchen, we went out every night because we couldn’t cook what we wanted to because there were barely enough plates and bowls. They also claimed there were enough beach chairs when I asked ahead of time for 5 people. And then they had to drop more off. The relaxing trip the 5 of us were looking for was filled with stress due to the false advertising and clutter that filled the house ( the land where lamps go to die, and disgusting throw pillows accumulate). Also, do not rent this house when it can drop below 60, the ACs can’t handle it and they haven’t bothered to make sure all the windows facing the water where you would probably get the breeze have screens. Could be a nice hose but the owners obviously don’t care, not worth the crazy price! They should be send us money because we left it cleaner then when we went in!

Thank you for your feedback. We always strive to provide a clean, well-equipped, and comfortable home for our guests, and we would like to clarify a few details regarding your stay.
Regarding the amenities, our inventory team verified that there were 7 beach chairs available at the property for your use. Because outdoor furniture is subject to the elements, these are provided as a complimentary courtesy, though we appreciate your note regarding their upkeep. Out of 174 reviews, this was the first time this concern was raised, and we will keep an eye on it moving forward.
When you raised concerns about the cleanliness inside the home, we took your feedback seriously and dispatched our cleaning team. While their arrival was unfortunately delayed twice, they completed the detailed touch-up with absolute excellence once on-site. This included specialized long-reach dusting and deep-scrubbing the toilets to ensure they were pristine. While our team was eager to complete the remaining work immediately for your comfort, you requested that they halt and return later so your two dogs could roam the house freely. As a gentle reminder for all guests, our house policy strictly states that pets are not permitted on the furniture at any time.
We always do our best to resolve guest concerns on the spot, and we feel our team made every effort to accommodate you and address your needs during your stay. We wish you the best in your future travels.
Our family of 5 had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday stay at this house! The house is as described, lots of space for everyone, well-equipped kitchen, great location and great views. The host was very responsive to our questions and gave us some appreciated pointers on the area. We hope to return!
This house is made very special by the many cozy seating areas, which became the perfect antidote to the blustery weather outside. The space naturally encourages conversation, games, and real family connection. We loved our stay and hope to visit in the summer, thank you!
The house is spacious and well equipped. The public beach is directly across the street and is ideal for seashell collecting or watching the waves. The location is also easy to get on and off the main highway to Newport.
Wonderful quiet location with unobstructed views enjoying amazing sunsets. The house was very comfortable with plenty of space for family of Five! Will be back
Easy to communicate with the owners.
Convenient to many area attractions.
Comfortable stay with many amenities as well as a great spot to see and enjoy some water.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was beautiful and the house had plenty of room for our family. Owners were very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!
The house was perfect for our celebration of four family birthdays. Loved the beach and the amazing sunsets. House was so comfortable with great kitchen, living areas and bedrooms.
We were two older couples looking for quiet and evocative New England accommodations. This place was just right. We spent evenings on the front porch looking out on the water while enjoying a cocktail and each other’s company. Alyssa was a very responsive, yet discreet host.
Great spot for a weekend with the girls. Enjoyed the Jamestown restaurants; beautiful sunset from the second floor deck; and a cool, fall afternoon for sitting around the firepit!
