Very comfortable.
The property was exactly as described, and Liz was a gracious host. There were several areas to sit and read with well situated lighting and comfortable furniture. Very cozy. The kitchen was very well equipped.
The check in process problem was entirely due to VRBO’s automated systems, which got on the wrong track and stayed there for the entire process. That was frustrating to both us as renters and to Liz as home Owner. Hopefully it’s a one time thing and won’t reoccur.

Girls weekend
From the time we got there, we really felt like it was a home away from home. The place had everything we needed and we were able to enjoy a little bit of rainy day inside on that fabulous screen porch, outback that was the highlight of the place. the beds were comfortable, sitting area in the living room was very comfortable. The television worked fine all the supplies necessary to cook a wonderful meal were there. Don’t hesitate to rent this place for a weekend or a week. You won’t regret it.

Great vacation for the family
The property is great. It's close to many beaches, it was very clean, was furnished with everything we needed, and the back porch was awesome. We ate on the porch for all of our meals as it was roomy and we always had a nice breeze. We're looking forward to staying again.

Quiet spacious property
The property was exactly as it looked in the listing and the street was nice and quiet so enjoying 3 season porch wasa easy.
The air conditioners in the bedroom work great as we hit a week with high humidity and with twin toddlers they slept without issue.
Charlestown beach just down the road was perfect and quick to access. We hit jitters cafe several times just around the corner and had some delicious baked goods. Point judith had some delicious sea food.
It's a reasonable drive to the Roger William's Zoo and the twins had a blast. Similarly Mystic Aquarium is easily accessible and a lot of fun.
If I had any complaints it would be mother nature giving us such a sticky week! But 26 days in a row is definitely not normal....
