Maison de campagne dans la charmante petite Compton: murs de pierre, champs, bois, ciel, plage

Not too far from the wonderful beaches of Little Compton and at the end of a quiet road, this house is large and very comfortable for two families with kids. The deck and outdoor shower are great; the gardens out back are beautiful and peaceful. If you are looking for a fancy rental, this might not be the place for you, but it was just right for our extended family--in fact, it felt like staying at a comfy family home. And one bonus is the incredible array of books...

Before we even got to the property, we felt welcomed by John’s warm and informative emails. As soon as we parked in the driveway, we were won over by the charm of the house and its grounds; we knew immediately that we would experience the calm and tranquility we were looking for; a big welcome bouquet of flowers on the kitchen counter brought a smile to our faces. Throughout our week at the house the four of us (2 couples) felt how comfortable, well thought out, welcoming, spacious, homey this house is; we loved eating breakfast on the deck overlooking the trees and flowers, taking showers in the outdoor shower after a day at the beach (we chose Horseneck Beach, because of the warmth of the water), perusing through the many books scattered throughout the house (and reading a few), hanging out in the comfortable and homey living room (we didn't use the TV or DVD but they are there!), working a couple of hours a day at the dining room table (ample enough for 4 laptops!), cooking in the spacious kitchen and sleeping like babies in the huge bedrooms; we didn't even get to use all the other amenities, like the BBQ, golf equipment etc... Little Compton and the South Coast are beautiful and not obviously touristy. If you like quiet, beauty, comfort and simplicity this house and its surroundings are the perfect destination. It was for us. We will be back. Thank you John and Mary for sharing your family home.

I've been coming to Little Compton each summer for my whole life, so I came at the visit from that perspective. There were many things we loved about the house: the big, well-equipped kitchen; the smart layout of the house; the deck and calming backyard; the overall quiet that came with being at the end of the road and out of the way; the central location; the big garage from which to launch your various "Little Compton activities; the fact that the house overall was well-equipped and everything was easy to find; the outdoor shower (a Sakonnet staple), etc. There was a really nice airiness to the house. Open a few windows, get a couple of fans going, and your all set. We gravitated to the deck, and spent a lot of time out there. Excellent. :)

We used this property for a week to house grown children with their youngsters. The house is comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped, and located on a quiet cul de sac. Everyone loved it.

Off the grid where vacations belong. Everything there we needed. Great nearby beach and a lot of other things to do. Great owner communication.
