If you’re looking for a small town beach vacation, this is a perfect place. David and Denise are wonderful hosts. David drove me around the island and gave me a really nice tour of all the major sites. He also set up the place with eggs, yogurt, milk, bread, and wine. In terms of the location, it’s a short walk to Mackerel Cove Beach—maybe 10-12 minutes. Mackerel Cove Beach wasn’t crowded, and was perfectly temperate later in the day. It’s also a short walk to a stretch of restaurants and bars. It’s an easy drive to Newport or other surrounding beaches too. The house was great too. The bed was very comfortable, and the rooftop deck is a great place to grab coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening (before 8). It’s a quiet neighborhood too.
