This property is a heavenly little oasis for those seeking wonderful amenities, but a location outside the hustle and bustle of busier city areas. Don't expect to be right in the middle of busy nightlife, touristy restaurant areas. It's central to lots of different spots around Rhode Island, but driving is typically required. It is about 10 minutes to Wakefield, 15-20 minutes Point Judith, and just a tiny bit farther to Narraganset. Newport was about a 30 minute drive. The property is not far off one of the main highways (Hwy 1) and was easy to get to.
From the get-go (like literally minutes after the booking was confirmed) Nicole provided fantastic communication and was very generous with many offers to get things that would make us more comfortable. For those unsure of booking a place attached to someone's home, be assured that Nicole and her family are highly respectful of your privacy. We really felt like we had our own private apartment.
Nicole provided some continental breakfast type items that were super handy for our adventure packed days spent shark diving. There's a Keurig coffee maker on hand for a quick jolt of caffeine in the morning, full stove and oven, microwave, etc. The indoor porch/sunroom provided a nice spot to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee or bowl of cereal.
Our three favorite things about the apartment were the GIANT shower (with marble floor!), Nicole's dog that greeted us with wagging tail and adorable smile after our day of diving ended, and the immensely comfortable king-sized bed. The bed was so comfortable that we are hoping to buy the same model! We also enjoyed all our interactions with Nicole. There's also a large flat-screen TV with Apple TV and Netflix that can be streamed (we binged Game of Thrones episodes). Nicole had also installed a high-end portable A/C unit in the bedroom that made sleeping much more comfortable.
This would be a great spot for a young family, particularly with the pool on site, or for a couple looking for comfortable accommodations away from busier areas. I would not hesitate to book this property again if we ever get back to Rhode Island!
