It was great having both the lake and the ocean so close by! Us adults prefer the ocean, while my teens prefer the lake-so it was a win-win for all! We opted to drive a little further down to Scarborough Beach for our ocean days due to better parking than Narraganset State Beach. A short 20 minute drive to Newport to enjoy the Cliff Walk and shopping there and some of the nightlife in Newport another night! We found the house clean and homey! And it included everything we needed! We cooked in a lot-as my girls are picky and none of us are seafood fans, but plenty of restaurants in the area-and Brickley’s Ice Cream is a must! Beds were comfy-and what a great idea having a twin and a double in one of the bedrooms, this worked out perfectly for three teens!! Great communication with the hosts, and Chris even sent along a few activities that were going on in the area the week we were here. Great hosts, and a nice comfortable place to spend the week.
