Every single thing was superb!!!

Our second time staying at this property and the experience never disappoints. Wonderfully appointed and comfortable. Literally has everything available on hand. Caretaker greeted us and answered our questions. She also gently reminded us about things like when to put the garbage curbside. Important task when staying for two weeks and with 6-8 people coming and going. We have rented many different houses over the years and this one is the easiest to stay in. Perfect location with ample parking and easy walk to beach, grocery store or town. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Jamestown home in an ideal location - walkable to Mackerel Cove Beach, local grocery store, playground, nearby restaurants.
Much appreciation for how well organized Betsy's home is for visiting guests; also, it is so special staying in a home filled with artwork of the stunning local landscape.
We had a wonderful stay with 3-generations of family members enjoying the spacious home. Thank you!

The property was fantastic ! Just the right amount of space in this lovely , well appointed home. We were 6 adults and 3 children 15,12 and 10 and we had lots of room. The grounds and Koi pond are amazing. The proximity to the beach, town and Newport was great.

The Waves in Jamestown is a wonderful house, and Betsy is a terrific hostess. All the bedrooms are well sized and the kitchen, dining room and living room are comfortable for a family or large group. The outside patio and the yard are great. The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Finally, the location was perfect for us. It is within easy walking distance to a beach, a playground, a market, and a wine store, and it is an easy bike ride to a great ice cream parlor.

Beautiful home, very well maintained and very well organized. We had seven adults in our group, all family, and there was plenty of room. It was such a nice home, my wife and I could not believe it is available on VRBO.

My family loved this house. Everything was well organized and there was comprehensive summary of need to know workings of the home. The kitchen especially was well equipped. We loved feeding the fish and the backyard was so peaceful, I spent most mornings out there before rest of family woke up. The beach was small but convenient and there was a wonderful bakery a short walk from house. It was so nice returning to Jamestown after a day in busy Newport. We all loved staying here and hope to return next year! Highly reccommend.

Our family of eight, including grandparents, children and grandchildren, had a wonderful weeklong stay at The Waves. The house was ideal -- everything you could need, very clean, and extremely well organized. Each of our family groupings had its own sleeping area and bathroom, and there was a lot of common space for meals and gatherings of the entire group. The house is beautiful, very nicely furnished, and very well located. We enjoyed a short walk to Mackerel Cove Beach, and there is an excellent food store just a couple of blocks away. East Ferry, with shops, restaurants, and the ferry to Newport, is an easy walk. There is also a pleasant patio and lovely back yard. Jamestown itself is a wonderful place to stay -- slow-paced and bucolic, but also with plenty of interesting things to see and do. We're hoping for a return gathering next summer.
