Enjoy full private access to the entire 3rd floor apartment. We have everything you need for a seamless and enjoyable stay. The patio is available to guests anytime when there is not an event taking place. With that being said, there is a small event space on the first floor. Again, we kindly ask you do not use the front patio when there is an event taking place.



Of note, there are common areas that may be shared by other guests. A floating staircase within the unit leads to a private upper landing, which includes a desk and sitting area with a chair and ottoman. While guests are welcome to use the space, please note it is not air-conditioned, and a storage room on this level is reserved for the owner’s use and will remain closed during your stay.



The owner resides on-site and may at times use the shared entry hallway to reach a private front suite.



The Neighborhood:

Aquidneck Island is a coastal enclave known for its scenic charm, historic character, and approachable scale. With most streets limited to 25 mph, the island maintains a calm, family-friendly atmosphere that encourages unhurried exploration. Its intimate size makes it easy to navigate, offering a quiet rhythm that reflects the essence of seaside New England.



Getting Around:

Getting around is easy and enjoyable. Most of our homes are located in residential areas where you can walk, bike, ride a scooter, or rent a golf cart to explore. The islands are relatively small, and with a 25 mph speed limit on most streets, the area stays safe, family-friendly, and relaxed.



Other Things to Note:

We provide dedicated parking for up to 2 vehicles in the parking spaces immediately behind the building. Please note that parking on the street is not permitted and subject to ticketing and towing. To avoid any issues, kindly use only the dedicated parking spaces and limit vehicles to 2.
