ÉTÉ 2018 Location - Belle, 4 Bed / 3 Bath Cape à Scenic Bonnet Shores!

The location was convenient for the one mile walk to the private beach, and access to the main roads for day trips to Newport, Mystic, or Jamestown, and to grocery stores. The size of the house was great for 4 adults and 4 kids, including 3 teenagers, and it provided family and private space. The realtor was emailed Saturday and on Monday arrived to check out our concerns. She returned with a new set of pots and pans, and gas tanks for the grill. We also shared concerns about a broken table, cleanliness, and a missing beach pass (which we didn't want to be blamed for). Loved the back deck for morning coffee. Kids liked the outdoor shower. Appreciated that laundry, bathroom, and kitchen soaps were supplied - that rarely happens with a rental. Would definitely suggest getting in touch with realty company as soon as a problem is noted.

This expanded cape was the perfect layout and size for our family of 5. When we arrived everything was clean. The kitchen, outside shower and bathrooms were very well stocked with all necessities. There were games, a puzzle, cable tv and the ever popular Wi-Fi. We brought 3 bikes with us and our boat. While we couldn't store the boat and trailer on site, we were able to find a slip for it at Silver Spring Marine in South Kingston. They were great there. The kids rode their bikes to the beach and back and had a fabulous time. Bonnett Shores is beautiful. The house comes with 2 passes to Kelly Beach. There isn't parking, but we filled the car, dropped off kids/stuff and used a bike to ride to the beach and back to the house. The deck off the master is perfect for dinners, card games or just relaxing. Plenty of bathrooms and overall space in this house. The fans and AC units kept things cool. We loved that Brickleys ice cream was just up the street, as were a number of gas stations, convience stores, a small grocery store, coffee shops and restaurants. We brought our dog and her crate with us too. There's a fantastic dog park about 10 minutes away. We ran our dog every morning and sometimes at night so she was tired and slept while we had our trips to Newport, the Portsmouth Rail Explorers, fishing and boating and the beach. GREAT house, GREAT fun! No complaints from any of my 3 teens. Now that's success! We would go back. Just wish it was now.

My family and I loved staying at this house! It is spacious with a deck off the master bedroom for relaxation . The neighborhood is quiet and the private beach is less than a mile down the road. We visited Newport, Narragansett, Jamestown and Portsmouth for other attractions and travel was quick and convenient! I would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay, especially the free bus to the beach that ran Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues of the 4th of July weekend. That was very convenient and fun for our toddler. The beach is perfect for families with young kids, with mild waves and a gentle incline. We had a great time. When we arrived on Saturday, the property was very clean. The microwave was broken and the internet didn't work. I contacted the property manager and she told me they'd bring a temporary microwave, which they did on Monday. She gave me the info to fix the internet, which only worked temporarily, I don't know why. She had it fixed for good on Monday. On Sunday, more family arrived and we learned the coffee maker was broken as well. On Monday, they brought a new coffee maker too. At the end of the stay, we were fined $50 for excess dog hair on the couch. I had vaccumed before I left, but there was still a lot of dog hair left that I couldn't remove with the vaccuum provided. It seemed reasonable.

My sister, my niece, my daughters and I had a wonderful time at this Bonnet Shores house. It was clean, bright, roomy and well supplied. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Air conditioners and fans helped keep us cool during a hot week. Loved the outside shower, too. Nice big kitchen table that we really enjoyed. Deck was great for cocktails and bunny watching. Sheets and towels were supplied, but I couldn't really tell that from the web site and brought my own. All in all, we had a lovely stay in this beautiful area. I would consider renting again. My only suggestion would be to have a few more lamps for those of us who like to read at night.
