Did we mention location? Block Island Ferry/Galilee, and Newport are 20 to 30 minutes away, respectively. In the other direction, Misquamicut and Watch Hill are about a 20 to 25 minute drive. Mystic Seaport Museum and Aquarium are only a short 35 minute drive, while Foxwoods is approximately 40 minutes away.
Don’t feel like driving? Hop on your bike, and head south down Green Hill Beach Road, in less than 10 minutes you’ll find yourself at pristine Green Hill Beach. On the way, you could stop first, at Green Hill Park (tennis courts, basketball court & playground), which is only ½ mile from your vacation home. And, and if you don’t feel like riding your bike, there’s something fun and whimsical, directly across Green Hill Beach Road from Bedford Drive - the South Kingstown Sculpture Trail.
Don’t want to leave the house? Then don’t!! There’s a large, level backyard, where you can play catch, cornhole, croquet… Have a cookout (gas & charcoal grills provided) and enjoy your meal on the large screened in porch, or outside on the picnic table. Then, top the day off with an evening around the gas fire pit -- S’Mores are mandatory. :-)

The condition of the house and grounds matched the VRBO description. The amenities were very nice. The house welcome book was very very good. The best any of us ever saw and greatly appreciated. Might want to add some details about what can and can't be recycled as the rules probably vary from state to state. The house is showing its age just a bit (but hey, ain't we all). The front door could maybe use a little sprucing up. Not a complain; but an observation. All in all we really enjoyed our stay!

We loved this house. The location was perfect. Communication with the owner was amazing. He allowed an early check in without us even having to ask. The house was perfect. Love the back porch and all the extra items available in the shed for fun and for the beach. Plenty of cooking items available. The binder organization of information was great. Only thing I wished was there would be a regular coffee pot (A single cup Keurig was available). But still ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great stay in a quiet neighborhood. The home was clean and well maintained …. all the amenities that were in the listing were available for our use and in very good condition. John, our host, was easily reachable, responded quickly, and very pleasant. When visiting this area, we would happily stay here again.

This was my family’s first trip in a long time. We brought with us my four month old. The house had plenty of space for all of us to have our own rooms and privacy, but a great family room in the basement to gather and play games. Check in was easy, everything was very clean and the house had all essentials we needed (including a beach umbrella and chairs we took with us to the beach). My parents even commented that anything you could possibly need was there. The beach was 4 minutes away and we were able to use the beach passes for parking (John was nice enough to even run us over the second one since we had two cars). We were also close to a couple of cute places to grab food and drinks easily. We would definitely want to stay here again!

We really enjoyed the property! The yard is very nice. It's a nice quiet neighborhood, close to everything. The town beach pass came in handy. It's a beautiful beach. The house has plenty of space for the 4 of us. The screened in porch is great for enjoying the cool night air without mosquitos. We loved the fire pit as well, easy for us to light. We would love to stay here again! Highly recommend!

Lovely place to stay
We loved staying at the house. The house was quaint and plenty of room for all of us. Loved the screened in porch or just sitting outside. When John speaks of location he is spot on. Everything is within a 25 minute drive. Manutuck beach was wonderful - never crowded. Thank you John for allowing us to rent your house..

Lovely stay
Huge property- kids loved the backyard with lawn games and fire pit. Well stocked kitchen, cooked many meals including fresh lobster! Beach pass was a huge plus. Basement had a musty smell so we couldn’t really spend time down there.

Perfect for our family and friends!
I cannot say enough about this property! Location is great, yard is big and great for kids to run around, fire pit/yard games 👍🏼, screened porch great for rainy days, playing games, and relaXing, outdoor shower has hot water so you basically have two working showers for simultaneous use if you have several guests, beach pass to matunuck beach was great and perfect for those with kiddos. Beach had showers, bathrooms, and a playground within an eye shot if you have littles. The house was spotless and has everything you could need/want! John is super responsive and we just thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Our mini-vacation
We liked the screened in porch and backyard fire pit.
It was well equipped with kitchen utensils.
The beaches were close-the first day we got in because it
Was overcast but the second day they were only allowing
25% capacity due to Covid and we’re turned away at 10:30 AM.
We did find a few lovely parks (Black Rock and a wildlife preserve)
And did enjoy our stay-lovely area!

An ideal place for R&R
My husband and I were looking for a place to just sit back and relax, and this place delivered! The kitchen is great to cook in, but there are also excellent restaurants nearby. The beach is convenient and having the parking pass makes it easy to visit. We checked out the nearby sculpture trail, and grilled on the grill. It was nice to have a TV upstairs as well as in the room downstairs. The amenities were excellent and we wanted for nothing. I would highly recommend this property. We will be back!
