What a great relaxing stay at Leann's place! Because the house is her home, it's extremely well maintained with lots of thoughtful touches. We enjoyed spending several hours there each day, either catching up on work or reading, before heading out to explore. The living room couches are so amazing that we even went to the store where she purchased them to see if they were still available! The shower has great water pressure, the bed is comfortable (we didn't use the 2nd bedroom with the 2 twin beds), and the kitchen is well stocked. From her place, you can walk (8 minutes) to the little neighborhood "beach" on the river, and then to drive to one of the main beaches takes about 10 minutes. It's 10-20 minutes from EVERYTHING: historic village of Wickfield, East Matunuck Beach, Coast Guard Restaurant, Newport, etc. The neighborhood was quiet, but the houses are closer together. Maybe in the summer this makes it noisy? I'm not sure. February was peaceful.
