Organzied and Clean

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 cost of the rental is appropriate for the location and amenities available. Nothing is “make or break” 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 weren’t 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 wouldn’t 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
