Curtis greeted us when we arrived explained important features and made us feel at home, a box of croissants from a local bakery awaited us. The Aerie was just as described only better in person. The most beautiful view from the living room/ dining room overlooking the water and a beautiful backyard with a sitting area amongst the beautiful plants and flowers. Kayaking in the river was a lot of fun and so convenient it was a very nice extra added feature. The neighborhood was very well kept, quiet, felt very safe. A paved running /biking trail just to the side of the house made for a pleasant walk in the morning or evening. A beautiful kitchen with everything you need. The Aerie is only about 15 minutes from downtown but you feel like you are in the country. The location was very convenient to everything. Curtis also gave us excellent information on resturants, things to do..WaterFire in downtown Providence was a lot of fun and the Cliff Walk in Newport was beautiful. We really enjoyed seeing Milo and Stella, they were so well behaved and liked you to say hello to them. We really enjoyed our stay at the Aerie !!
