Lauren's beach house is super clean, bright and cozy. With a front and back porch you can find quiet places to relax, if the rest of your party is hanging out in the upstairs or downstairs living room. Smallish bedrooms upstairs make the most of the space and the downstairs, with concrete floor, is cool and private. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach, and we never needed to use the included parking permit.
The area is quiet and uncommercialized, but modern amenities are about 15 minutes away by car. Otherwise, there's pizza, fine dining, small grocery and ice cream within 5 minutes. We kayaked, cycled, swam, and walked without needing to use the car.
Lauren was a great host! She didn't hover and we didn't need much help. But there was plenty of local info in the house guide that was useful, and we knew that she was just a text away. We fell in love with the RI coast this week and hope to make more trips in the future.
Even during the pandemic we were able to relax and enjoy the seashore.
