Stephen and Sue have the loveliest waterfront home with a breathtaking view of the bay. They graciously offered full use of the entire first floor including the incredible back yard where we were able to sit at night in Adirondack chairs and enjoy the breeze off the ocean. I wasn't sure if there "shared space", in fact had missed that point in the booking, but we took a chance and it was more than worth it. Our hosts were present if needed but we had all the privacy we wanted. Knowing it was our 20th anniversary, they had a chilled bottle of champagne and glasses ready for us in our room! All details were accounted for in a refreshing ocean-centric decor, spotlessly clean. South Kingstown has a quaint little village with a few great restaurants and shops, and Newport is a 25 min drive over the bridge. We really didn't even need to go to Newport, this area was perfect!! Can't say enough good things, would not have changed anything about the stay, this exceeded all expectations. Thanks Sue and Steve, for making our abbreviated anniversary so memorable!
