The Hiller Hideaway exceeded our expectations for a five-week stay to work (really) remotely from our usual midwest locale. Ideally suited for a vacation stay - completely supplied with everything a family or friends might need for getting away - it was also ideal for remote work. We were able to set up office spaces in bedrooms upstairs and keep the large common space on the first floor for relaxing and getting away from work. The kitchen is outfitted like one's home: every kind of pot, pan, dish, utensil, or appliance needed to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner, which we did. We arrived in mid-November, so no need for beach gear and retreating to the barn for recreation, but easy to see how a family could arrive in the warmer season and slide right into vacation mode.
The location is ideal. Eight minutes walk slightly downhill the to the Narragansett Tower and the sea wall, three minutes more to the Narragansett Town Beach. Fun to watch the surfers and folks with dogs on the beach (off-season they are allowed, on leash). Good walking around the neighborhoods as people started getting their holiday decorations up, too. We had a snowstorm during our visit and Jacklyn and Jeff sent the plow for the driveway and a friend to shovel the walks. The friendly neighbor across the street came over to help get the snow off the car, even!
If you're thinking about coming here while there are still public health concerns, the Hiller Hideaway itself is pristinely clean. It is easy to wander Narragansett and walk the beach and keep plenty of distance from other people. Local stores offer early shopping hours for seniors, and it's easy to get grocery delivery from the largest three local markets (Stop and Shop, Shaws, Belmont) as well as area restaurants.
Our stay was long enough that we had occasional reason to be in touch with Jacklyn and Jeff, and they were right on top of things. They are superb hosts and this is a gem of a spot.
