This fun and unique vacation rental consists of the first and second floors of a large residence from the late 1800’s. It sits at an elevation near the former site of Fort Wetherill and commands wonderful views of the water from both levels. The owner will greet you to orient you to the many interesting facets of her home. We especially enjoyed the large enclosed sun porch with wraparound windows and sliding door to a patio with an arbor adjacent to the back lawn. There is also an entrance porch, formal dining area and a study with a desk facing the water side, so plenty of space for privacy as well as a family gathering.
The grand staircase leads to the five bedrooms upstairs. The master is large with a small balcony overlooking Narragansett Bay. With windows and sliders open the breeze compensates for not having A/C.
The kitchen is spacious and near the laundry room and large downstairs bathroom. There are ample extra beach towels provided.
As you approach on Highland Drive look for a narrow driveway of crushed shells between a row of high shrubs. The white color stands out and helps locate it, just beyond the first black mailbox.
You can park several cars just off the circular drive near the double door porch entrance but avoid parking in front of the garage doors.
This was a delightful and unforgettable home with lots of nooks and little surprises in each room.
