Owner Paula was great to communicate with. She messaged me via the app, but also shared her cell phone. Nice accommodations. Lots of space. The outdoor shower was a great feature. The location is close to both Newport and downtown Narragansett.The listing mentions that it provides beach chairs and bikes. The beach chairs were rusty and some were partially broken. The brakes on one of the bikes barely worked. This was somewhat problematic since there is no parking at the private beach (it is beautiful), so we dropped off at the beach and took one of the two bikes back to the beach.
Spacious, comfortable house in a quiet corner of Bonnet Shores. Our family of four plus grandma had a great beach week. Easy bike to Kelly Beach. We brought bikes and shuttled gear and people who didn't want to walk/bike by car, driver went back to hop on a bike. (There were also two very nice house bikes!) Kitchen was great to cook in. Tried the great new Brightside seafood market--highly recommend! Hosts Paula and Ray are super responsive and lovely.
Beautiful neighborhood, responsive hosts, decent house
Overall, we had a nice stay but likely wouldnât rent again.
The hosts were great communicators, followed through on questions and inquiries, and provided a binder of information about the house, community, and local area which definitely goes a long way!
The cost of the rental is appropriate for the location and amenities available. Nothing is âmake or breakâ in isolation but we were disappointed with the overall quality of furnishings and supplies from bed mattresses and linens to kitchen supplies and seating options in the living room. Some mattresses were comfortable and others were nearly unbearable. Cheap, crinkly mattress protectors and low quality pillows dressed every bed. The living room couches were cozy but there werenât enough lounge seats. The kitchen was stocked with many appliances (blender, Keurig, electric can opener, toaster, toaster oven, drip coffee maker) and gadgets for eating seafood and mixing cocktails but completely missed the mark on essentials like a decent, full set of (dry) measuring cups, measuring spoons, and quality chef knives in good condition. A second wooden cutting board and replacing the scratched, non-stick frying pans with stainless steel or cast iron options wouldnât hurt either!
We enjoyed stroller rides in the neighborhood after dinner and bike rides to Kelly Beach. The community is very quaint and beautiful and the house is close to many local attractions. We also liked the second floor layout with the kitchen, dining room, an
Our group of 10 found this property met our needs and then some. Central air, full laundry, big dining room open to large living room. Kitchen is well appointed. Deck provided seating for all. Four good size bedrooms; two baths; outdoor shower. Quiet area.
This was my first rental through VRBO and it was pretty painless. Working with Ray and Paula Fernandez was great!. When we checked in the house was spotless; you could smell the "clean". We're Rhode Islanders and are familiar w the area and neighboring beaches and amenities. There was plenty of room in the house for our grown children, their spouses and 6 grand children. When the central air went on the blink, Ray and Paula were right there with an HVAC service and had it repaired within hours. Plenty of kitchen supplies and linens in addition to a quiet, relaxing neighborhood. We would definitely consider renting again from the Fernandezs'. Very nice people!
We love this location and have stayed in this rental for four years. Already booked for next year. There is so much to do in this area. Walking and biking as well as several beaches are all within easy reach. Newport is only 15 minutes away.
We loved Kelly Beach. It was more lovely than pictures represented. We dropped off our group at the drop off point and the driver rode one of the provided bikes back to join up. House was very comfortable. We would stay again.
We stayed in June/July 2024. Houses in Bonnet that sleep 10 can be quite expensive. This house was a good deal that did not disappoint. We were 9 total, had plenty of towels and dishes. Beach towels were a plus, as well as the beach chairs, bikes and beach umbrellas. Location is great, lovely walk to Kelly beach. Folding beds were ideal for children. Highly recommend this house. Hope to be back and stay two weeks instead of one.
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood. It was very spacious and clean and the kitchen was well-appointed. Three stars based on the fact that the beds were very uncomfortable. The house also has very steep stairs, not suitable for seniors/small children.
Thanks so much Paula, my family and I had a wonderful vacation. Your house had everything we needed. Perfect location, quiet, beautiful neighborhood, very welcoming and comfortable. Walking to the water after we ate dinner was an amazing treat. You are a wonderful hostess and a pleasure to talk to.
Thanks again.
The property was in a quiet neighborhood, but close to everything. Well stocked and very clean home. The only downside was sound does carry in the house, but you get use to the house sounds after a couple of days. I wish I booked for 2 weeks!!
Our family of ten enjoyed a great week at this property. The house was very comfortable and provided everything we needed from linens and towels to chairs and bikes. We loved Kelly Beach and morning walks along the water at the end of the street. Bonnet Shores is lovely!
We love staying in this house. It's our third year and we already booked for next year! Feels like home away from home. Love taking walks and going to Kelly Beach.
Just completed our 5th year staying at Paula & Rays house in Bonnet. House is always so clean and organised. Had 1 minor issue and it was addressed immediately. I would highly recommend this house. Looking forward to next year. Thank you Paula & Ray!
Clean, very spacious, slept ten very comfortably. Close to beach. House in pretty and quite area. Kitchen had most everything you needed. Grills, bikes umbrella and beach chairs at your disposal. Would rent again.
Love this house and the area is great for walking and biking. Kelly Beach is not too far and it's a great beach for kids. Many good restaurants in the near vicinity as well.
I would highly recommend this property there was not one thing that was missing thank you so much. I grew up in Bonnet Shores since Iâve been 2 years old . My sisters both have homes here I stay here for the month of August .I rented this house for my children and their children .there were four adults and two children plenty plenty of roomđđ
We just came back from our weeklong stay at this property. The house was very clean. Bed linens were comfortable. The house is stocked with Keurig coffee maker, air fryer, and all the cooking implements you need. Bonnet Shores is a fantastic and quiet neighborhood. This location is on the end of the bonnet opposite from Kelley beach. Great location to walk and take in the beautiful ocean scenery including views of the Newport Bridge. We got dropped off by a family member when we wanted to use Kelley beach as it is too far with the kids to walk but this is not a problem at all. We used that beach as a supplement to our favorite Scarborough state beach which you have to drive to anyway. This house has an open kitchen dining room living room concept which is fantastic for family time. Four good size bedrooms and two fairly recently updated bathrooms. Paula is a fantastic host and responds immediately to any issues that could arise. Look no further for a comfortable clean house in a quiet location close to beautiful views of the ocean.
Another great summer vaca in Bonnett!
House is always super clean and stocked with just about everything you will need for your vacation. Homeowner very responsive. Already booked for next year. Thank you for sharing your home.
We bought this property while we were dating because we loved the area. We later married and are very happy to accommodate such lovely families ! We love to have lunch near Little Beach even in the winter!
We live locally and can be easily reached during your vacation.
Great Location, completely updated! We love the open concept home with it's cathedral ceilings it's spacious feel. Great for families or couples. Bachelorette parties, close to Newport. Wedding parties have also rented our lovely property for their big day. (We can be flexible)
