Though we didn't meet our host in person, she communicated us by phone and by text clearly and promptly, and welcomed us via text as well as with a written note in the apartment. Our overall experience was wonderful. The room is a 10-minute walk to the South Kingstown Town Beach and a 7-minute drive to East Matunuck State Beach. Both beaches are beautiful with lovely, warm ocean at water (at least at the end of August, when we were there, it was warm!). The room is large and private, and the bathroom attached to the room has a beautiful bathtub and a very nice, powerful shower. We felt it was a great value an a great location.
