Nicole’s place was awesome in every way and exactly as pictured online. It was spotless, well-stocked with towels/linens, beach gear, and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. A great surprise was when Nicole texted me the day we were supposed to check-in to let us know the place was ready several hours ahead of scheduled check-in which was amazing. Self check-in was super smooth and we were greeted in the entry way by an adorable, personalized chalk sign welcoming us to the “inn.” The inn is not huge, but was the perfect amount of space for my friend and me: we each had our own bedroom with tv and enough room to relax in the small sitting room, dining area, and on the porch where we enjoyed the most delicious mud pie ice cream from Schultzy’s. The house is charming and rocks the beach-chic theme.
The location was fantastic - it was about a 25 minute drive to Newport and I found Portsmouth to be a much quieter and less chaotic part of the island. Additionally, Nicole’s guidebook on the Airbnb website helped us discover great restaurants every day (loved the quaint local places she suggested like Flo’s clam shack, Schultzy’s, and Salsa’s Burrito Grill for takeout options) and she has a whole collection of brochures in the sitting room for local tourist attractions that helped us find some places we never would have stumbled on otherwise.
Overall, Nicole thought of everything - I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again myself.
