Peaceful, Artsy Antique Home In Central Location Near Beaches, Shops, Bike Path
About this house rental
Nestled in Wakefield, this lovely house for $265 per night is a great option for your next trip. Looking for a rustic, relaxing, artsy home from which to stroll into town for dinner, a play, top-rate ice cream and baked goods, and wonderful cafes & shops? How about a ride or jog down the So. County bike path, a wooded frisbee golf course, pickle ball and tennis courts, or maybe some live music? This ideally located vacation home puts you right in the middle of all of these activities, and is just a short distance from fantastic beaches and the Block Island Ferry. Our antique home features beautiful period details and funky casual decor with a generally laid back, creative vibe. Plenty of off street parking, rear patio, front porch, and outdoor shower. Other nearby activities include the town library, bowling alley, tennis courts, skate park, Whalers Brewery, Pumphouse Music Works, indoor climbing gym, and more. Park your car and walk or bike to everything you need. Decompress and breath in the slower pace of small beach town life. This home is best for those looking for a simple, relaxing, unfussy, fun, rustic cottage-y vacation spot. Sharon Cottage includes a large half bath off the kitchen/mud room with washer and dryer. Kitchen features gas range, dish washer, coffee maker, toaster and all your basic supplies. There is a sitting area open to the kitchen, a rear parlor with a flat screen TV, basic cable and an HDMI cord to connect to any of your streaming services. The front parlor has a beautiful bay window and dining table for sit down meals. Upstairs you will find a large full bath with lots of storage and tub-shower. The first of three bedrooms has two twin beds, second bedroom as an iron double bed, and third bedroom has a queen platform bed and ceiling fan. Bedrooms 1 & 2 have AC window units and there is a large central window unit downstairs along with plenty of fans to cool and circulate. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off beach sand (a must for preservation of the plumbing) or for a shower under the stars. The fenced yard is roomy and flat for games and there is a shaded patio with table and chairs for outdoor dining, as well a fire pit. The beautiful So. County bike path runs directly behind the house, and there is a bike shop (Stedmans) from which you can rent bikes just one block from the house. Wi-fi is provided.

We left Wakefield with so many happy memories from the bike path to the front porch to walking to Brickleys for ice cream or soco baking company. Charming, relaxed vacation spot with everything you need to unwind and take a break from it all!

Loved the artsy eclectic home with a beachy and hippie flair. Everything was as expected and Courtney was very responsive. Plenty of comfortable seating and places to hang out. The beds were comfortable. Awesome to have a full kitchen and a porch to relax on in the backyard is private. One thing I would mention for people who are challenged going up and down stairs. The staircase to the second floor is pretty steep, and the banister is low. Just something to be aware of. Wonderful place to stay for our vacation. The bike path can get you right to Narragansett town beach in 15 minutes and you can walk a couple blocks to shops and restaurants in Wakefield.

I was interested in a mini vacation with my daughter, SIL and my nine month old granddaughter; it was a last minute trip. I saw this property on VRBO’s website and submitted a request for the dates I was interested in staying at the property. The property was available for the dates I requested (for the following week of my inquiry) so I was more than overjoyed that we were able to have the mini vacation. The property was exactly as pictured on the website; eclectic, artsy, a fun place to relax after a day at the beach. It was just a minute walk to the Main Street where there were many places to go in and browse for unique items, antiques, jewelry, clothing, places to eat, etc. Scarborough Beach was just ten minutes away from this property. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time staying here and will definitely come back. The only thing we did not enjoy was the outside shower; there were several spiders in their webs in that shower so we passed on using it. We did not want to disturb the spiders.

We had a good time and used up all the bedrooms with our family of 6. We were thankful for the newly installed AC units in two of the bedrooms. The location is fantastic as we headed into Newport 3 separate days and took the ferry from Point Judith to Block Island one day.

summer vacation
Great style, fun location right on the bike path and close to a few fun ice cream places, near-ish to the beach. However, the week we were there was super hot and there is no air conditioning available, which we knew going in, but is a good thing to keep in mind. If you are sensitive to heat/humidity, just be aware that it will be toasty. Also, it could have been more thoroughly cleaned before we arrived.

Wakefield House
I really enjoyed our stay in the house. We arrived on a Thursday night and the house was only a short walk into town where they had food and live music, it was a great place to walk around. The house itself if nice: decorated with beautiful artwork, plenty of places to hang out both downstairs and in the backyard, fire pit, outdoor shower etc. The house is in a good location, it’s close to Narragansett and Scarborough beaches and not too far from Newport. The owner Courtney got back to me fast and was a pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Rhode Island.

Charming and artfully decorated
The house was perfect for 5-6 adults. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and has a large counter. The kitchen half opens into the dining area which is very nice and perfect for breakfast. Most of our dinners were done on the grill and afterward we would sit around the firepit. The house is nicely decorated. The art is charming— it has a great New England/70’s charm. There is no air conditioning, and although there was a bit of a heatwave while we were there, the numerous fans are helpful.

Great place to use for Newport trips
This was a great house to use for day trips to Newport. It took about 25 minutes to get to Newport, but this was a much less expensive option than staying there during summer months. Wakefield is a nice little town that we enjoyed during the evenings. The housewas was as advertised on the listing and would recommend it to friends.

Charming, comfortable home in a prime location
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our 4th of July holiday weekend. The house was picture perfect with a great yard including a grill, fire pit, outdoor shower and a pair of beautiful outdoor siting areas. Perhaps best of all, the home is located in the middle of everything you could want on vacation: walking distance to great ice cream, diners for breakfast, a soda fountain, gift shops, a bike path, parks and more. And just a short drive away, there's groceries, the beach and even a brewery.
A wonderful place in a wonderful town.

Charming home. Great location!
This was the perfect place to stay for our family of 4 on our week vacation. This beautiful house is centrally located in a lovely neighborhood, walking distance to everything in the adorable town. We rented bikes from Stedman’s 2 blocks away and rode the gorgeous bike path. There are so many beaches to choose from off route 1, we recommend Blue Shutters beach, clear, gorgeous, not crowded, easy parking but get there in time to get a spot, lots are smaller than state beaches that’s why not too crowded.
The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking, the backyard was peaceful and private. I love an outdoor shower and this one was great. Courtney was very responsive and helpful with tips about the area and the house.
The kitty visiting from next door made is feel at home! This is truly a special place and a gorgeous area of RI. We highly recommend it
