The description of the house and the pictures are an understatement of the actual place. If you want the summary of this review before reading until the end - here it is: book it and you will not regret it.
Pre- arrival and Arrival: before arriving we received a very well written note form Brent and his wife that we should treat their home as our own and that we should use anything we see as we would in our place. The check in process was seamless with a door code sent the day of arrival. We were welcomed with 2 bottles of wine, a cold six pack, all ACs on (which was an huge thing for us arriving after a long journey and entering from a 90 degrees heat) and even a brand new beach toy set for our little boy.
The pictures don’t do the house justice. This is an extremely well maintained 3 bedroom house. You can see that everything was thought of and we suspect some of the furniture was hand made by Brent.
Internet - 400 mbps down/up Verizon fios which was a huge plus for me as I was working while the family was spending days at the beach. Plus you have a smart tv device which you can login to with your Netflix etc. we didn’t as we always just bring our own Apple TV device.
Kitchen fully stocked beyond expectations with anything you could think about and more (dishes, pots and pans for a restaurant kitchen, a million spices, vegetable oil, sodas and much more) . New appliances in kitchen as well as washer and dryer which we used regularly as due to covid we brought our own sheets and towels.
A new grille outside with a spare gas tank (just in case) and all the tools you would need. We used the grille daily.
Two fully furnished decks.
For the beach - 5 new beach chairs and many more accessories . When we came back - two water shoes were thoughtfully places around the entrance to wash that sand from the feet.
The house was professionally cleaned before our arrival. Think “toilet power made into roses and power washed deck” cleaned. You can feel the clean when you come in. The house is also very stylish. You would not mistake it for an Airbnb.
Location: you are 3 min drive from 3 state beaches. You could walk (about 25 min) but we didn’t as the weather was pretty hot. We went to the beach twice daily. One time in the am when I dropped my gang and drove back and second time after 5 pm.
Food - book restaurants in advance. I can recommend Spain of Narraganset. We had a great dinner there. It’s on the mid-upscale side but the prices don’t reflect that.
Overall this was an amazing home to be with great attention to detail and very quick responses from the owners. One of my best Airbnb experiences and this comes from a guy that flew 180k miles in 2018 and 120k miles in 2019.
If you can afford this - don’t try to look further. Just book it.
