We rented Russell's place for a long weekend in June 2022 There were 4 adults around 50-60 years old in our party. The house is built recently (10 or 12 years ago) and is very clean. It is walking distance to the town beach and the views from upstairs balcony are very nice. The kitchen is on the second floor with a nice wrap-around porch with outdoor furniture, a good place to hang out and enjoy the sun and the views. The kitchen is well equipped and modern. Two things to pay attention to before you rent this property: 1) You are responsible to bring your own sheets and towels or rent them through another service. You are responsible to bring your own paper towels and toilet paper. 2) I have rented properties all around the world through this site as well as the competing site and never had to sign a lease separately with the owner. Russell sends you a 4-page lease to sign which requires your drivers license number and place of employment. One of the terms in the lease to which I disagreed is listed below: "Re-letting by Landlord. If the premises shall become vacant during said term, Landlord may re-enter the same, either by force or otherwise, without being liable for any prosecution thereof; and re-let the premises as the agent of Tenant, and receive the rent thereof, applying the same first to the payment of such expense as Landlord will be put to in re-entering, and then to the payment of the rent due; and the balance (if any) to be paid over to Tenant, who shall remain liable for any deficiency." Depending on the interpretation of the term "vacant" this gives the landlord the right to enter the property at any time he deems fit. I signed the lease after removing the clause above.

This property was just as advertised! Spotless and well stocked, very comfortable. Short walk to beach, fishing, kayaking....very nice neighborhood! Would recommend highly!

The house looked the same as the pics in the listing. That is not always the case. It is bright and airy. You can see both the ocean(frontal view)and a pond to the right side. Love the wrap around deck with white Adirondack chairs. So many large windows. It was well stocked with kitchen utensils, pans etc. if you choose to cook @home. Love that you could walk to the beach. I don't think we had one complaint! That's not always the case as well. rent it Great communication with the owners. Would definitely, rent it again.

This property was exactly what we wanted for our vacation. Perfect location. The House had everything we needed and was as clean as they get! We have vacationed in Charlestown for many years and this property was the best we have rented. The owner was very easy to work with and always quick to respond to an email. We would love to rent this home again!

Attractive new beach house with many decks is a short walk from Charlestown's well-maintained town beach. Beach has clean attractive bathrooms & great snack bar. House could use better beach equipment: boogie board is damaged and there are no beach umbrellas. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

Our group of five adults had plenty of living space. The bedrooms were large and modern kitchen well equipped. Walking distance to town beach and kayaking in salt ponds. Short trip to fresh seafood, deli, supermarket and restaurants. The owner responded quickly to our questions. We were very happy with our experience.

We had a wonderful time at this spacious home. Very clean and well equipped. We look forward to a future return visit!

We had a great time at Russell’s house in Charlestown. We were two couples looking to get away. It was just as described - a beautiful home, bright and cheery, short walk to the beach. The house had everything we needed, but don’t forget to bring hand soap dispensers. We hope to come back someday.

This house has everything you would ever need, plus a location that can't be beat! You can walk, or take the short drive to the beach; and can walk to the marina to put a kayak in the pond. The home has views of the ocean and Ninigret pond! The neighborhood is quiet. At the end of the street there is a bakery, a small store, a restaurant and a produce stand. The owner was great at communicating about any issues or problems. I would rent again!

House is beautiful and location is perfect. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful house. Very clean and had all the amenities we wanted. We’ve been going to and vacationing in Rhode Island for over 20 years and this was one of the nicest homes we ever stayed at.

Great house with responsive owner. Easy stroll to beach and close to block Island, Newport and Watch Hill. Had a fantastic couple of weeks.
