We had an amazing time at Cathy's place in Little Compton. Cathy and Jim were awesome hosts. They made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived, and during our stay they were always there when we needed advice on which beaches to visit, where to get food, and all sorts of other fun local stuff.
The guest house was very spacious and comfortable for our family of four. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves, from utensils to spices. There’s also a nice Weber gas grill out back with a great outdoor dining table and chairs. We also appreciated the new washer/dryer, as we had been on the road already and needed to do some laundry.
The yard was another great aspect of this place. We saw just about every kind of wildlife native to this area, from tree frogs at night to a herd of deer that would show up every morning. The kids loved it.
Little Compton itself was a wonderful surprise, as we had never been to this area of Rhode Island, despite having lived in Newport years ago. The location allowed us to visit all kinds of fun historical stuff within about an hour’s drive. We saw Plimoth Plantation, Woods Hole, the Newport mansions, and the New Bedford Whaling Museum. On days when we just wanted to stay close, we hit the beaches (only like three minutes down the road) and the local nature preserve (about five minutes away).
If we’re ever in this area again, we would definitely stay here. It was easily one of our best Airbnb stays of all time!
