This house has so much space- the listing does not do it justice. We were attending a festival in Westerly and did not spend too much time at the house but - if we did- there would have been plenty of space to gather, cook, and enjoy!
We are a large family (13 adults and 1 child) staying to attend a wedding in RI. This place was wonderful! SOOO much room, and so much flexibility from the house manager! Joyce was very prompt in answering questions, and worked with us to make the coming and going of each family unit (and all our cars!) very convenient and easy. We did cook at the house some, and there were plates, bowls, mugs, glasses and silver for all of us! Beds were comfortable, water pressure great, outdoors decks were huge, walk to beach was quite close. We just wish we had more time to spend in the area, as the wedding events used up much of our time. Thank you for a lovely visit!
We had a short stay and Joyce was so easy to work with. She was extremely flexible and allowed us to check in a little bit early and check out a little bit late so that we could enjoy our short stay.
The house was fantastic with multiple levels And two master bedroom suites with bathrooms on different levels. And a great bunk bedroom. The kitchen on the main level was fully stocked, and there was even a partial kitchen on the floor upstairs which we did not need to use.
And a great deck on the front of the house for watching Sunset and a deck on the back of the house to eat outside for dinner.
And it came with 2 passes for Dunes Beach, which was a great beach , about a mile from the house.
Highly recommend!
This property was perfect for our family vacation. Tons of space to spread out, plenty of bedrooms for everyone, and all 3 (!) decks were awesome. The dunes beach was beautiful and it was great to have passes for there. We loved it!!
My friends and I stayed in the house for a reunion and had a great time. For a large group it was extremely spacious and accommodating, I think even better than the pictures portray it. Location was also perfect as we were 10 minutes to the beach and bars/restaurants in downtown. Was also very easy to communicate with the owner. Would stay again and highly recommend!
The house was massive, very clean. Slept 14, easily can accommodate a few more guests. Plenty of seating, 2 kitchens, 3 fridges, 2 sets of washer/dryers, boogies boards, bicycles, beach chairs all available for use by house renters.
No bed linens required or bath/beach towels needed. Everything is provided. The manager, Joyce was a pleasure to talk to and was on spot if anything was needed.
Wonderful family memories were made!
Wonderful house! Way bigger than on listing. Best part was the outdoor space - gorgeous front lawn and a beautifully enclosed deck, also with multiple balconies to watch the sunset. Will come again
Joyce was an amazing host! Always available, accommodating, making sure the house had what we needed, met us on day one to show us around. House was bigger than we thought. Two living areas (kitchen/seating/TVs) and 3 refrigerators. Plenty of room for all. We made some wonderful family memories here, much thanks to Joyce.
Joyce was amazing. House was so beautiful, so big, so clean. We had a group of 12 men and didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. More space than one group could imagine. Would recommend 10 out of 10. One minor, very minor thing- when we cooked/grilled we had no spices, which was a surprise. Just salt if I remember.
This house was absolutely beautiful and so much bigger than it looked in the listing. We cooked and enjoyed our time mostly at the house, taking advantage of the large front yard to throw around a frisbee. 5 minutes from the beach, this property can’t be beat for a large group!
The house was comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed, from boogie boards to bicycles. If you are going there, be aware that renters are asked to clear out ALL foodstuffs, so you need to bring spices, f if you use them.
Great house. Great location, easy beach access, ample space and spacious deck wi 2 tables.
We had a wonderful family vacation at this well equipped and spacious house. Beach is close and with 2 beach passes we all could go to the beach together. Great outside deck for dining. Owner very accessible and responsive.
Joyce was a lovely host - very welcoming and the property was spacious and accommodating to our group. The house comes with many extras (bikes, scooters, boogie boards, chairs etc) and a back deck to fit any crowd. Thanks Joyce!
The house was perfect for our family. It was really spacious, clean and well equipped. It could comfortably fit 16 if you have kids and need that type of space. We are already looking forward to our stay next year!
We had a great stay, despite a hurricane blowing through and losing power for 12 hours or so! The house is roomy, convenient, modern, and very clean, and we could all spread out and be comfortable. We have access to another beach so we didn't spend much time at Dunes, but the house was all we could ask for.
This is the perfect Beach House for a large group. The owner, Joyce, gave us access to two beach passes to Dunes beach which is just a mile from the house. Misquamicut beach is just a little further down the road which is also a really nice beach. There were boogie boards and bikes in the garage that were allowed to use. The outdoor shower after a long beach day was perfect. Great bunk room for the kids upstairs and second living room and kitchen where they could hangout. The deck out back was awesome. Plenty of tables for dining and just hanging out. Also a great yard for yard games. Loved having drinks on the decks out front. The house had everything we needed. Joyce was a great host. Very responsive. We had a great time and a great stay.
We had a family vacation with people ranging in age from 90 years old to 5 months. The place
Was perfect with plenty of room for everyone. The back deck is great for outdoor dining and to let the young one run around. The main kitchen is great and the open floor is great for everyone to hang out. Would definitely recommend.
The property had a large living space, perfect for our large family. Clean and inviting. Plenty of amenities. Joyce was wonderful to work with, very nice. Good location. My two favorite perks was the pass to Dunes beach, ( worth it!) and the sand box in the back yard. My grandchildren loved it!!
My family and I enjoyed our stay in with well appointed property nestled in the exclusive area but still close to everything. Communication was great with a personal walkthrough upon checking.
