The perfect stay. That’s what we’re calling our experience in Narragansett. It began with being greeted by our wonderful host, Michael, who provided us with information about our condo, the private beach portion of Salty Brine Beach, and the many dining options and local attractions. As soon as we opened the door, the first thing we noticed was the nautical motif and the clean look of the place. There was no clutter, and everything seemed to have a well-thought-out purpose and space. He had thought of every detail—from big plush towels in a basket to the rustic bathroom mirror and complete place settings in the dining area. The standard refrigerator, hot plate, microwave, mattress topper/egg crate for the sofa bed, and big wide-screen TV, among other amenities, were all we needed to be comfortable in the condo.
It’s also all about the location! We soon found out that our condo was in an ideal spot. We could walk to the Block Island Ferry, to Nana’s or the Sweet Spot ice cream shops, to Buster Krab’s Beach Bar and Burger Shack for delicious crab cakes, and to George’s of Galilee Waterfront Seafood Restaurant for fine dining. We really didn’t need to drive anywhere to enjoy ourselves, but we did go to the upscale Trio’s and had a meal to remember. We also drove to Newport to beautiful Rosecliff Mansion, the site where “The Great Gatsby” movie was shot.
All-in-all, we could tell that, yes, Michael is running a business, but it’s also true that he cares about his guests and ensures that they have quite a memorable stay. We certainly did!
