Where do I begin with how amazing this property and the host are …
From the beginning of course!
I had booked the house almost 9 months in advance as friends had let my partner and I know they were having their wedding there, and we should book a place ASAP as it would be happening over Labor Day weekend. So taking their advice, I booked this place immediately in very early January. Based on the previous reviews, location and photos, I thought it be a perfect fit. So much so, I had changed my reservation… twice! I kept adding more and more time to my stay. Lynn (one of the host) was more than accommodating. She was happy to extend our stay and I in retrospect I am so glad that I did.
After driving in from NYC we were quite hungry upon our arrival. As we were driving to the house, we saw Evelyn’s Drive-In that is mentioned in reviews related to the house and decided to stop in. The service was amazing, the food was delicious and the view was unbeatable. Sitting right on the water with water views deep into the horizon was such a great way to start of our vacation. This place is a real gem to the area. I highly recommend the lobster rolls and the RI calamari. That said… back to the house…
I pulled up the house and have to admit it was a lot nicer than I expected. It’s apparent that the lawn and landscaping is every well taken care of. We entered the home and were shocked by how nice and CLEAN the house was. It is very apparent that a lot of time, money and energy have been put into transforming the home into what it is today. The decor matches the area and is just very relaxing. The beds are super comfortable, the linens are great and the pillows are a plenty! The kitchen is high-end as is everything else in the home. LJ (Lynn’s husband and other host) did an amazing job. Kudos to him!
I spent more time outside of the house than I did inside. The outside of the home in the back is phenomenal. The deck right outside is perfect for sitting outside relaxing, having a meal or just enjoying the sounds of nature. The grill was perfect and was happy to have it. I used it daily for either lunch or dinner or both. The lower patio was great for making s’mores in the fire pit, catching down rays or some zzz’s.
The access to the water behind the house is amazing. Their was not a day that I did not spend hours (if not all day) enjoying the water and area behind the house. I paddle boarded multiple times a day for hours (Thanks Lynn), I swam, I floated in my tube, and I just sat by the water enjoying the quiet and breeze. Mornings are quite great as the water is often calm and nature is just coming alive. Photos cannot express the area that Lynn and LJ have created along the water. I assure you, you will enjoy it just as much as we did.
Leaving was a sad moment as we had such a great time. I assure you this place is worth it and highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing spot within short distance to everything. I will for sure be back.
Thanks again Lynn and LJ!
