Little Compton is a super special area and we’ve been coming back every year . This was our first year traveling with a new baby so we had different needs. Overall, the property the house is on is great- tons of outdoor spaces, grills, swing for older kids, and places to hang out. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating, and while we had a few issues upon arrival- outdoor shower had no hot water, internet was spotty, they tried to help and resolve as best they could.
Was a bit disappointing that the outdoor shower had no water till the end of our stay as it was amazing and we’d have loved to use it.
We had a 9 month old with us who slept in the office on the 2nd floor. The house did not have blackout shades, so suggest traveling with something to block out the sun if you have a little one.
The walk to the private beach- which is beautiful and empty and clean- was more like 20-25 minutes with a baby, which was tough to do eveyday esp carrying things. If you are young or have no kids then the walk is not as bad and the beach is great.
Pros
- beautiful outdoor space
- great communication from hosts
- nice living room with good light and fireplace
- beds are comfortable
- eclectic house with lots of history- anyone with connection to Brown will appreciate
- farm stands, fresh fish, local beef and eggs all within 5-10 minutes driving
Cons
- very dated kitchen and bathroom- can use some modernization, even upgrading appliances would help
- not very baby proof because of stairs and fireplace- if traveling with little ones
- sound travels and little insulation- ppl sleeping upstairs heard baby crying
If you like a house with history that’s a bit rustic and walking to the beach, this is a great find.
