This was our family's first vacation home rental. We had always done the hotel thing or traveled in our RV. Since we were going to be a week in Rhode Island and 5 of us, a hotel wasn't the best alternative. We looked at houses near Providence and found this one.
Heidi worked with our schedule and the rate was very very fair. I was concerned about renting a home via the internet, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The home was quaint and well furnished. It was like we were guests in a friends home, but the friends were away. It felt so much like home. It is an older home, but all appliances worked perfectly and there were no oddities to the home to be concerned about. A wonderful stay!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this home and their owners Charles and Heidi for your next rental! We were very pleased!
The home is VERY close to beautiful downtown Providence, RI (about 3 miles), only 25 miles from Newport, RI and just a block or 2 from a wonderful bike/run path around the river! I would strongly suggest renting a car to get around Rhode Island, as this home is in a nice, but residential neighborhood area ... not a lot walking distance from the home.
The ONLY heads up would be for families with small (under 4 years) children, as this is a 2 story home and the stairs are a bit steeper than the newer homes ... but that was not a deterrent for us, as we had older children with us.
Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
