Quick summary: this house is very well-maintained; very well-equipped . Lovely residential neighborhood. Great view over Narrow River in the Pettaquamscutt Lake area. Very nice owner. This was our second stay at this property. The house is very well-maintained, and feels very spacious. The living area and bedrooms have beautiful views over the Narrow River. There are a number of sitting areas, indoor and out, that are comfortable and have the views. The kitchen is very well kitted out with high quality appliances and equipment, i.e. pots & pans; dishware; barware; etc. Lots of all kinds of appliances (e.g. blender; Keurig and regular coffee pot, serveware...) Excellent on-site main floor washer and dryer. Two bedrooms have very comfortable beds and pillows. Each has good closet space (one walk-in!) and at least one chest of drawers so you can really settle in. Basement accommodations, too. Nice bathrooms (one with a roomy shower; the other a tub/shower combo -- I love having a real bathtub). Good storage space for your toiletries, etc. Lots of high quality sheets, towels, beach towels, etc. HVAC and wifi work very well. We LOVE the backyard. Aside from the view, it offers both shade and sun at different times of day. When you hit those really hot days, the shade is appreciated. There are also Adirondack chairs overlooking the river, portable beach chairs, dining table and chairs for outside dining. There is a dock and a place to get into the river for a swim, kayak ride, etc. It is nice to have that place to swim when you don't have the energy to get to the beach (or want to deal with a crowded beach day,) or just want a quick dunk. The area right by the shore can get a bit mucky, so I recommend water shoes, but it is not a large area. The house comes with an assortment of water toys, noodles, etc. The dock is also a lovely area to hang out in the evening. The residential area is quite nice. Quiet, but not far from restaurants, town, attractions, beaches, etc. There is a community beach a few houses away. The clubhouse and neighborhood have various events where renters were welcome to attend -- nothing loud or crazy, very family-oriented. Due diligence: the upstairs bedroom is up a somewhat steep set of stairs. Handrails are on both sides, and my husband and I were fine, but it might have been a challenge to someone with mobility issues. Still, there is a nice first-floor bedroom. We look forward to a return.

This property is beautifully located on the water….great dock and lovely view! House is really well equipped. If you like to cook at home, you will find everything you need to prepare meals. Area is close to everything. Highly recommend this rental!!!

Really a nice stay. Beautiful views. Extremely quiet neighborhood - very relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen. Had everything. Two singles and a double kayak. Floats for river. Wifi worked great - no problem to do zoom calls. We did an eight mile round trip kayak to the ocean. There is a beach only accessible by boat there. Had we known, I would have packed a picnic lunch! We cycled all through the area, including to the ferry and took our bikes to block island. Really pretty! Used the grill almost every day. Great to have cable to watch tv. Note: AC unit only in MBR and is loud and one for the main floor. The 2nd br only has a fan. That was unexpected, but we still had a great time and would truly recommend! Karen the owner was super quick to answer any questions we had.

We loved our stay & are planning Rhode Island Part 2. So much we didn’t have time for!

We rented this property for my dad‘s 80th birthday celebration. We had a wonderful time! The property is beautifully clean, and exactly as listed. We enjoyed using the kayaks, and sitting out on the deck in the evenings. Karen was a wonderful host, and I would definitely go back again!

Could not have been more pleased. The property was as represented in the VRBO information. It was fully stocked with what one needed to spend a few days. The view from the living room and backyard was peaceful. Landscaping of trees and flowers added to the serenity. We kayaked, cooked, read and relaxed. Access to restaurants, fish mongers and other amenities was convenient. We highly recommend this property.

We totally enjoyed our stay here. I rented Karen's property for my mothers 83rd Birthday. The home was beautiful, and the most well appointed kitchen I've had at a VRBO. Thank you Karen for sharing your home with us and for making our stay so comfortable and an overall exceptional experience. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back.

As advertised. Was much more serene and quiet than I expected. Really enjoyed the experience. My family and I rented the place for a reunion and we all felt at home here. We had everything we needed to really unwind after a stressful few weeks. Wish I could have stayed longer.

The house was simple beautiful. Clean, well stocked, and the perfect spot for a relaxing time. The location is convenient to beaches, The cliff walk and multiple restaurants. I highly recommend staying at Karen’s home and we will be doing so again in the future.

We have rented many times using VRBO & have never been disappointed. The layout of The Nest was perfect for our needs ... two couples ... and the décor was very comfortable. The home provided everything you would need to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing getaway. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with everything you could ever need during a visit. The living room furniture was incredibly comfortable, and the view was very soothing. While we did not need assistance from the owners, we knew Karen was available if needed. We would highly recommend this home to anyone planning to visit the Narragansett/Newport area.

Wonderful long weekend with adult children . Great waterfront view, kayaking and fishing from the private dock. Hope to come again.

Great property with a fantastic history … property is very well kept and very clean!! Karen is very attentive and was in constant contact. We were in the area for our son’s graduation from Navy OCS over in Newport and finding this property was a win/win. Thanks much Karen and Jennifer(property manager) … our stay was amazing!!

Fabulous property on the Narrow River/Pettaquamscutt Lake. Beautiful views of the lake/river. Almost everyday there was some action on the river (boats, fisherman, birds). Binoculars were provided for closeups. Close to beaches, Jamestown, Newport and South County. Wish we could stay in the Summer months! VERY comfortable bed in the master bedroom. I would certainly rent again.

Well equipped and in a wonderful area. Just minutes from anything and such Great Lake views. Abundant water foul and even got to enjoy spectating the local rowing team on their practices from the comfort of the living room. Highly recommend!!

We loved our stay. Would recommend it to anyone. Great location and plan to return.

Beautiful river view from all rooms. Nice outdoor seating areas throughout the property. My husband enjoyed fishing off of the private dock. Very close proximity to Newport and other quaint towns. Enjoyed our last day in Wickford on the water while having hot lobster rolls.

This was a little getaway for hubby and self, and our adult kids and their significant others. Everything about our stay at this gorgeous hideaway was perfect! We unplugged from our outside stressors and plugged in to each other and nature. We reconnected with nature, we reconnected with each other, we reconnected, we reconnected with ourselves. We did puzzles and read books, talked, laughed, drank wine, listened to the silence, and kayaked for days! No one wanted to leave!!! Everything and anything you can think of that you would need was present in the home. The home was pristine yet so incredibly comfortable and inviting with magnificent views for days! Can’t wait until our next getaway!

We loved this house! Beautiful views of the lake and very relaxing. We loved the welcome book with all the recommendations and the story about your parents. 💕💕

The property could not be in a better location. It was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The kayaks were a great plus. Best of all was just being able to sit and look at the water!

We really enjoyed the location with a dock for swimming on the lake/river. Also, Scarborough Beach is quite close. The extra quiet neighborhood was a plus, we got to truly relax. The bed was very comfy and the main living room furniture too. I’m a gourmet cook, so the kitchen wasn’t for me, but it’s fine for most families. The decor overall is a little dated, and the bathrooms merely just ok. However, this is a really beautiful property and a GREAT place to unwind! Here’s a plug for our favorite restaurants: Celestial Cafe in Exeter and the Matunuck Oyster Bar. And Dave’s Marketplace supermarket in Wickford is the best.

My children (22 - 27yr olds) and I fell in love with this property within 5 minutes of our arrival. It was the most peaceful and beautiful place to spend our week in RI. Although it is listed as 2 bedrooms, the basement had a bed and pull-out couch and was the perfect space for one of my children, as well. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us, and enjoyed the very open living space to entertain family that live in the area, as well, one night. All of them (residents of RI) were blown away by the property and the view (and the air conditioning!! - it was unseasonably hot and humid the first few nights of our trip) and validated what I already knew... we had found the perfect place for our RI stay! The property, both inside and out, was just lovely! My 25 yr. old daughter may have said it best when our first night there said, "Well this place is perfect! It already feels like home. You know we're just going to have to come here every year now, right?" :) I certainly hope we are able to return soon!

Nice home, great location with a beautiful view. Karen was very nice to work with, she even provided us with a list of things to do and restaurant recommendations.
