Our family really enjoyed the house and all its amenities. Great set of outside porches with refreshing breezes at night and nice walks to the cove. Perfect house and location for a family vacation.
This was our second stay here, and we enjoyed it even more. The many decks and open floor plan accommodated our family well. The beach pass is good for two excellent beaches, Charlestown and Blue Shutters. We launched our canoe and kayak easily at the boat launch a few minutes' walk from the house. That made it easy to access Elbow Beach which offers wading pool like conditions suitable for small children. Jim, the host, was helpful and responsive, and everyone in the neighborhood was very friendly.
Our stay was extremely enjoyable. The house is beautiful and we felt right at home. The owner was very responsive and provided a very nice Word document that had instructions as well as recommendations. We traveled with our two young children, 2 and 4, and the recommendations included some great activities for young children. We ended up checking them out and it was a total success!
The bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. There were four twin beds and two larger beds available. The view of the sunset was beautiful from the upper level deck. The street was perfect for morning walks with the kids. It rained and the water collected into huge puddles that we enjoyed splashing in!
We definitely plan to stay again. Next time we may even invite another family so we can enjoy the time together. Itâs a quiet neighborhood and we really liked that. Cannot say enough about how much we appreciated the opportunity to stay here. Ten stars!
We loved our stay, the house was just beautiful and the location was the BEST. Great communication from our host, the house had all luxuries of home and then some for comfort. The location was amazing, my boys loved fishing at the Breachway inlet and beaches. Sunsets at the dock a short walk down the street were beautiful. Iâm an RI native and Iâm forever in awe of Southern RIâs beauty. This stay enhanced it, donât hesitate to book.
Fantastic house, great location. Clean and comfortable and plenty of room for 6 people. Awesome decks on the house as well. If I had to nitpick it could use AC in the Summer but other than that it's a wonderful house.
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The home is central to all local beaches and is located in a peaceful neighborhood. As stated, the home has all the amenities and is clean and comfortable. There is plenty of space to spread out to enjoy all the sounds nature provides being so close to the salt pond.
We enjoyed a relaxing week in this home. It is large, comfortable, modern and clean. It is a house with ample room indoor and outdoor for the family to spread out. The decks are gorgeous and the sunsets were enjoyed nightly! The photographs do not do justice! This house is just steps from a boat launch for Ninigret Pond. Unfortunately, we do not own kayaks and they are not supplied by the owner. You can rent kayaks near Charlestown Beach and we had a great time renting kayaks and paddleboards there. The house includes a beach pass and the beaches in Charlestown are spectacular and nearby the home. The house itself is modern and equipped with everything you might want or need on vacation. The kitchen is well-outfitted for cooking a large dinner, with beautiful appliances, knives, glassware, etc. I highly recommend this home if you are looking to stay near - but not "on" - the beach in Charlestown, RI.
We had a great week in this charming Charlestown house. We loved the decks, and we had plenty of room to spread out with our family of 5. The owner, Jim, was friendly and responsive--when we had a problem with a blocked drain, he came the next day to fix it. The kitchen is well-stocked. Only thing missing is a drying rack for hand-washing dishes. The beach pass to Blue Shutters was fantastic--what a beautiful beach. Recommended!
We stayed in this house in August 2010. True to all the other reviews this house was very clean and well equipped. It has a great location in Charlestown, close to everything. We love the area and this house is central to all the things you love to do. We brought kayaks (there is a rental place nearby) and went out on the pond every day. The house has everything you need for a fun week at the beach. Having wifi and dvd players kept the teenagers well entertained in the evenings and we had family fun with Monopoly and jigsaw puzzles.
We had a wonderful vacation in Charlestown. We were lucky to be able to rent such an amazing house on short notice! The house is beautiful: great decks, quiet neighborhood, beautiful sunsets, all the amenities. We never once had to say, 'I wish we had...' you had it all and then some! We look forward to renting next summer!!
Best,
Jen & Shawn

Generally, a splendid, well-equipped house and a nice experience. Two suggestions:
(1) We had to get up at 6 AM our final day since we had used the house's sheets and towels, and had to wash and dry them. Allowing guests to pay a reasonable fee for this might be a nice alternative.
(2) A drying rack would be nice, so the dishwasher cd be used less often.
Otherwise, a very nice experience.
had the greatest time, the house is impecable, the computer was a god send for a fourteen year old on a rainy day. we've been coming to charlestown for a number of years and your HOME has been the BEST. we'll be in contact shortly for next years(05) rental.
We loved the closeness to the water...we had a great time in our kayaks!! Everyone appreciated how much work has been put into the house. The kids especially loved the cozy chairs upstairs and all of us were glad to be able to check our email. Board games were another plus (everyone is now hooked on Cranium!).
Thanks for all your hard work.

Had a very positive experience. It was great being so close to some beaches, Block Island Ferry and some very good restaurants. The observation deck was a real great addition this year. Looking forward to next year.
The house is beautiful, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Love the decks and view, especially from upper deck. Took the boat to the private beach area overlooking the ocean. Did some fishing but unfortunately, didn't catch any. A plus was that we were able to access our email while we were gone and do a little web surfing. Looking forward to next year.
