About this house rental
The classic 1906 built home with modern amenities sits quietly at the end of Atlantic Avenue directly on Misquamicut Beach. The home is just steps to fine dining, shops, groceries, night clubs and ice cream bars. Recently renovated, the family retreat has a private sandy beach, features ocean views from the second-floor bedrooms, and includes a secluded backyard. This family get-a-way is the perfect spot for a week or more on one of New England's most pristine beaches.
The house is situated on the quiet end of the beach away from the traffic of the state and resort beaches but is only a short walk to great dining, shops, nightlife and public beaches. Walk 2 miles along the beachfront to reach the Ocean House, the historic Carousel, East Beach, Napatree Point and the village of Watch Hill.
Inside you will find the recently renovated home has an open plan first-floor, a galley kitchen and a deck overlooking the backyard with the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the beach just behind the seawall. The second floor features two large ocean-front bedrooms with spectacular ocean views and the calming sound of the waves at night. Two more charming bedrooms on the second floor make the perfect setup for the entire family!
This beach house is one of the few on the street to offer a true "backyard" experience. Enjoy BBQs, dine on the screened back porch or out-door picnic table, play backyard games, and make memories with your family surrounded by sand, beach grass and the ocean. A hot and cold water out-door shower makes it easy to rinse off the sand before going in the house to get ready for a night on the town! The driveway provides off-street parking for four cars.

Our stay was perfect for our family. The location is convenient and steps to the beach, making it easy to get the kids on and off of the beach. The private beach with small children makes it stress free and easy to keep an eye on them, allowing us parents to enjoy the day as well!
The house was very clean and had everything for a family friendly experience ! What a trip !
Thank you for a wonderful week away!

Outstanding home!! Celebrated birthdays with friends and had a wonderful time at a wonderful location! The house was exactly as described and even better than our expectations. We and our friends were totally impressed and couldn't have asked for anything better.

This is such a lovely and comfortable house on a beautiful beach. The views from the two bedrooms that face the ocean are especially wonderful, and the whole outdoor area is laid out really elegantly for barbequing, or just sitting and looking at the waves.

We absolutely loved our stay. The owners are incredibly gracious and thoughtful- tons of linens, towels, miscellaneous pantry and bathroom items provided…
The location is perfect. Beachfront with endless beach access on either side. Awesome new deck to chill on and enjoy the view. And the sounds of the ocean from every room in the house.
Would recommend 1000%

Well appointed beach house
Great location, on a very nice beach. During the first day of our stay, the beach was a little too rocky for the little kiddies; however the sand filled in nicely for the last 3 days. A couple of decent restaurants are conveniently located within walking distance. The house included everything we needed to be comfortable, with good quality cooking equipment, appliances, bedding, towels, etc. Because of a large jetty, there is no view of the ocean from the first floor (living area) or back yard. Two of the upstairs bedrooms however have great ocean views, and the beach is very easy to get to. There is a plethora of beach equipment (toys, chairs, beach towels, sand games, etc).

Perfect Setting
This house sits right on the beach, and I mean right on it. You can hear the surf from your bedroom as you sleep. There isn't a view of the ocean from the first floor but the trade off is that the back "yard" is protected from the wind. The house is cozy and the front bedrooms are generous in size. It's well appointed and we had a lovely time walking on the beach, watching the sun set, and having meals around the dining room table.

Home away from Home
The property was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location is great- beach front on the Atlantic. We especially enjoyed listening to the waves and feeling the breeze on the back porch. The property owners could not have been more helpful. Our family enjoyed a fun, relaxing vacation!

Beach house
We had a fantastic time at this beach house! The house is perfect for kids. The back of the house opens up to a sandy play area and there are lots of beach toys provided. There’s an outdoor shower as well which was a lot of fun. The ocean is right there and you can hear the crashing waves at night. The house itself was well appointed with all things necessary that made our stay easy. The owners are very nice and responsive. We didn’t want to leave!

Fabulous Visit
We had a most wonderful stay in this charming home. The hosts are beyond super - there is everything you can imagine and more available on the property. The location is amazing - directly on the beach. We will definitely return in the future.

Wonderful beach vacation!
The home had everything we needed and more-- views were great, beds super comfy, beautiful decor and KID FRIENDLY! Supplied with starters for the basics, plenty of stuff for the kids to do aside from the amazing waterfront (towels, chairs, toys, you name it, it was there)-- what a great time for all! Looking forward to staying again and again.

Beautiful home, amazing hosts!
My husband and I rented this home for our two children and shared with my brother and his family. The size is perfect for two families with young kids. The house has everything you need—the hosts really pay attention to detail and made it so that we were so comfortable. The hosts were also extremely responsive and accommodating when we needed them. (The fridge was not cooling properly and they went out at 9pm on a Friday to purchase the largest mini fridge they could find so that our groceries would not go bad! They then purchased a brand new fridge.)
The upstairs king bedrooms have amazing ocean views. The bathrooms seem to have been recently redone or are just immaculately maintained. The linens and towels provided were of top quality. Outside the backyard is spacious and there are tons of toys and games, beach chairs, umbrellas etc (anything you would want). A few steps take you to an absolutely beautiful beach, and the house location is so convenient to town.
Overall it really felt more like a hotel stay than a house rental. We look forward to returning!

51 Atlantic Blvd
The owners met us at check in and gave us a very informative introduction to the property and how everything worked. So many times you are left to read the binder to try and figure it out.
We have VRBO’d many time and this was the first time the owners had ever met us! It was very helpful!
We had 6 adults and 3 children, ages 4-8.
The property is extremely well maintained and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and even had basic spices and supplies to minimize what was needed at the store.
The house was larger and even better than the pictures.
The beach was just a few steps away and was beautiful!
We really enjoyed our time in Westerly and will definitely come back to stay at this 5 star property!

Better than you dared to hope
Truly, at every turn this stay was a glorious experience. Kathy and Jerry are, thoughtful, attentive, and make every comfort available.
Our group of 6 was way beyond comfortable, we were giddy! Could easily fit more people though.
The house is right on the water with fabulous seafood options right around the corner.
If you didn’t love 3 season porches already you will after staying here.
Truly, such a gift of a stay!

Lovely Beach House
We had a lovely stay at this comfortable and so well appointed home. Jerry and Kathy were very responsive and the house was so comfortable and very stocked and many little details we considered. Beautiful beach. Bit rocky and beach is better down by watch hill, but the house and views were wonderful.

SUPERB!
We were overwhelmed at all the ways we felt comfortable and relaxed. These owners have gone out of their way to spoil their guests with ample provisions and perfect touches everywhere you look. Their communications were prompt and responsive; accommodations precisely as described, but just BEING there really takes the cake! The outdoor shower and beach supplies, grill and picnic table, screened-in porch and yard really extended the living space right out into the ocean! Very special memories made for our whole family. We haven't stopped talking about what a gift it was to have found this space. Thank you for all the extras Kathy and Jerry! What thoughtful hosts!

Perfect Week on the Beach
Beautiful, well-stocked home just steps from RI’s best beach. The owners have thought of everything to provide a very comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and outdoor shower. Central air was a nice perk and beds were very comfortable. Beach is very private and quiet which was perfect for our family. Just a short drive to lovely Watch Hill and many excellent restaurants. We hope to enjoy this beautiful beach home again soon!

Perfect stay in Misquamicut
The location is amazing, right on beach and walk to restaurants etc. Plenty of room for two families (4 adults, 4 kids) - kitchen was stocked for cooking, grill and dining outside, beach chairs galore and the outdoor shower especially incredible. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!! Jerry and Kathleen are wonderful and responsive hosts.

Heaven
This house is a slice of heaven on earth. It was immaculate, adorable and incredibly welcoming. It’s a home, not a house, and it shows. The pictures don’t do it justice. The owners are lovely, very helpful and friendly. Five stars all around!

A Great Beach Retreat
What a wonderful home. Kathy's beautiful house was a perfect retreat for our family long weekend away. The property is well appointed and in a great location, just a short walk to Misquamicut Beach and a short drive to Watch Hill. But who needs those when the beach is (literally) your back yard. Our kids loved playing in the sand and walking the beach for hours.
Kathy was responsive and available for any question we had.
We highly recommend this wonderful property. We hope to return again soon!
