Hosts friendly and welcoming. Property is in a great location, close to town and the beach is easily accessible by car. Jamestown is great; laid back and quiet and an easy drive to Newport! Our kids loved the loft and slept happily and comfortably. Great selection of games as well, which the kids also enjoyed. Fresh bread, eggs, cream and some other essentials were left for us which was a nice touch.
Be advised, some of the descriptions do not match the property itself. There is not a view from the deck, at least not in the summer. The backyard is not accessible. The beach is not walkable with young children and even without, you probably want to drive. There is a family of raccoons on the deck; this was confirmed by the host. The very brief comment about it is NOT in the initial property description and is worded as a joke under the House Rules: “ no sleeping on the deck as the raccoons need their privacy”. I missed it initially!
While the beds, shower, sinks, and surfaces were clean, the floors were far from it! We found a lot of animal hair on and under the couch, along with a pretty filthy floor and a dirty tennis ball. The floors were also sticky in spots. We vacuumed upon arrival.
Ours kids really enjoyed visiting Jamestown and ended up having a great time exploring the area! House has a lot of plusses but if you’re a stickler for cleanliness, I’m not sure this property would be right for you!
