My family just returned from a perfect 4th of July weekend in Westerly at the home of Charles and Perry. The home is even more beautiful in person. Located on a quiet dead end street, it is surrounded by lovely woods and chirping birds that I thoroughly enjoyed from the wonderful wrap around porch. Sitting in one of the rocking chairs on the porch, rocking my baby girl to sleep, I can honestly say was such a peaceful moment- it made the whole weekend for me. However, there was plenty more to enjoy. The house itself is beautifully appointed with very high end appliances and All-Clad cookware, etc. It is very tastefully decorated in the simple elegance of a New England beach home-- relaxed, and inviting. It was impeccably clean and neat. The spaces in the home itself were perfect for our family of 2 teens, a 9 yr old, a 6 month old, and my mother in law. Everyone had a spot to unwind-- from the upstairs rec room with air hockey, to the screened in back porch. But of course the open kitchen with breakfast bar and large table were the heart of the home. And it was especially fun to enjoy a summer thunderstorm from the wraparound porch.
Perry was there to welcome us and answer any questions about the house...graciously allowing us to check in a few hours early. She checked in with me during the week to see how things were going and quickly answered a few questions I texted her during our stay. She was an excellent host.
The beach is a short 15 min walk, and a parking pass/beach passes are included. Across the street is a convenience store and delicious sandwich shop for stocking up for a day on the water.
The home is also stocked with basics --such as toilet paper and cleaning products, as well as plenty of sheets and towels ( very important for teen girls). This is especially nice to not have to bring when flying in from out of town.
I have family in the area and know it well... and can confidently say that this home is in a fantastic location which will allow you to enjoy how special this little beach town of Westerly truly is.
