Beautiful Home!
We absolutely loved staying at this home! This house is beautiful and the wide water views were amazing! There are so many pretty birds from song birds to blue jays to egrets and blue herons. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, blankets, well stocked kitchen, etc. It was like staying with family! We loved the story behind the house and the loving couple that owned it.

Simply Sublime
A fantastic stay from the initial Vrbo request to check-out from the property. The property owner, Karen, was wonderful to work with when answering questions about mobility features as well as when we had an lockout situation. Special thanks to her property manager, Jenn, who helped us gain access! The property is as advertised, situated on the Pettaquamscutt River which is beautiful to arise to and view the sunset. Overall, the property is well-maintained, stocked fir every need, and in proximity to Newport, Jamestown & plenty of restaurants. While the loft is a bit difficult to walk (I’m 5’9”), we enjoyed the house & riverfront views.

Beautiful River View
This home is beautiful and exceptional and its appointments. There are so many different seating areas that you would be hard-pressed not to find your comfy spot. The beds were soft and comfortable. If you’re looking for a firmer mattress, this would not it. We visited with family and enjoyed our day trips to Newport Block Island and local restaurants. We would definitely rent this property again. We also had the pleasure of watching the URI rowing teams practice practice on the river. It was fun!

Another fantastic stay!
We first stayed here in summer 2022 and this summer returned for a 3 week stay. It was even better this time! Beautiful landscaping improvements made it an even more attractive location. This home is so well equipped and comfortable. Whether looking out at the water from inside or from a seat on the dock, the views are mesmerizing. It’s a great place to kayak and soak up the sun, and it is close to everything! The property owner is wonderful and responsive. We will definitely return for a third visit in the future!

Comfortable, Clean with Great View
One of the best properties I have stayed at during my son’s 4 years at URI. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Karen is a great host. She’s quick to respond to any inquiries and went out of her way to make sure our stay was great. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Living room is spacious and has great view of the river. Backyard had 5 Adirondack chairs and patio furnitures was there for plenty of seating and great view of the water. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Do not hesitate to stay at Karen’s property.

Riverside Paradise!
Everything about this property is a delight. It is like visiting a friend, or being in your own home, as opposed to (even very nice) rentals. There is not even the slightest hint of the usual sterile, builder-grade construction and appointment. The expanse of windows set the stage for the stunning river vistas in this lovely welcoming space furnished with comfort and casual elegance. As you think of something that you need, all you have to do is open a drawer, a closet, a pantry, and there it is.
The owner shares fascinating stories and fantastic recommendations and even the neighbors are friendly. There are multiple kayaks for renters to use, and spending time kayaking up and down the river is truly sublime. We cannot wait to return!

Hidden Gem!
The Nest is a hidden gem in Narragansett. It has the most beautiful view from the living room. Loved watching boaters, kayakers, paddle boarders, etc going up/down the river, not to mention all kinds of birds. The dock is great (looks new) and very peaceful. There are kayaks available along with other water play items. The kitchen is new and has everything one needs. Extra bonus: there are many hand rails around the home that were especially helpful for my elderly parent. Anyone with mobility issues will appreciate them. Communication with the owner and property manager was great. It was a great stay!
