A Perfect Family Beach House!

Former location of the Matunuck Post Office from 1891-1903, this modern airy beach house was remodeled in 2015 from the studs, with great attention to detail, including leathered countertops throughout, sliding serving windows from the wet bar to the deck, pocket screen door, a large outdoor shower, while keeping the original staircase…just to name a few. Enter the first floor of the home from the large deck with a covered gazebo, the first floor of the home boasts a wet bar with serving windows, extensively furnished wrap around leathered granite countertop kitchen, spacious living room with comfy furniture, a queen size pull out sleeper, a queen size bedroom and a bathroom with shower. The second floor has 3 queen bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, and laundry. The home is completely furnished with linens and towels, books, video and board games, guitar, TVs in each bedroom and living room, high speed internet, window AC in each bedroom, large deck with a covered gazebo and a separate patio fire pit, both with substantial seating, as well as beach chairs, beach carts and coolers. The property is mostly surrounded by beautiful primitive stone walls with mature trees, soft grass around the house area, with an extended side yard where you’ll find a relaxing platform swing and a slack line obstacle course for all ages/abilities among the mature trees. There is a vegetable and herb garden for your convenience, with crop dependent on conditions and useage.

Providence is 40 minutes away with the TF Green Airport 30 minutes away. This home is a short 1.9 miles (4 min drive) to East Matunuck Beach, one of the nicest beaches in New England, with a straight on view of Block Island and a long large rock jetty to climb on and watch the boats leaving Galilee (Block Island Ferry), and ideal for fishing. The Matunuck Oyster Bar is a 3 minute drive around the corner with other restaurants across the street and past the beach into Jerusalem, and the public park with basketball and tennis courts, soccer and baseball fields and a playground are just a short stroll away. Oh yeah, there’s also a 6 person hot tub and outdoor gas grilL, 2 fire pits and a large side yard with a slackline obstacle course for the kids...and adults. This house is the PERFECT family beach house getaway!

Outstanding property and owner!
We rented this house for my daughter’s graduation. What an awesome choice - fully equipped and very clean. The owner was amazing too. Super responsive. We were looking for a full length mirror and I asked if there was one in the house. There wasn’t - but the owner showed up in an hour and brought one to us! Very much appreciated. Would rent this property and from this owner again and again!

Our stay was wonderful. We have a girls weekend Once a year and we are always looking for the perfect home. This house was as close as we have come. We need at least two twin beds in one of the rooms as we are 6 adults and some like to sleep alone otherwise we would for sure be returning to this home every year. It had everything you could need for a perfect vacation right down to condiments and toiletries such as shampoo/conditioner. Makes packing a light job. This house gets an A++!

Birthday Celebration
My family planned a weekend to celebrate my birthday and we couldn’t have been happier with this house. It is beautiful, nicely decorated, has everything you can possibly need and extremely clean. We are a family of 8 including a 3 and 6 year old. We loved going in the jacuzzi and the kids loved the obstacle course. Unfortunately we lost one day to rain so we were not able to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities they have in the garage. I wish we could have stayed an extra day! The house is about 30 minutes from Newport which makes it very convenient. Some of the reviews mentioned the close proximity to Route 1. Yes, the house is on Route 1 and it is close, but we didn’t see that as a problem at all and didn’t really notice the noise from the traffic. We highly recommend this beautiful home. Thank you for renting your home to us.

Lovely home
We stayed for a weeklong end of summer family vacation and really enjoyed our time. The home is lovely and stocked with more than you can even imagine from cookware and utensils to board/yard games and beach accessories. It is right off the highway, but you really don’t even notice as the yard is large and fenced so the passing traffic wasn’t even noticed. The fire pit was a hit with the kids and the frosty mugs in the freezer were a nice touch for the adults upon arrival. Brian was quick to respond to any questions and was very accommodating. The only thing we wished we had was access to a walking or riding path accessible right from the home so we could have used the bikes so graciously provided by the host as we don’t have a bike rack for our car. This did not have a negative impact on our stay at all since there were plenty of other things to do. The location of the home was very convenient as it is just a short drive to multiple beaches, restaurants, Icecream stands, shops and the Block Island ferry. We had a wonderful family vacation at a wonderful home. Thanks, Brian!

A Wonderful House for a Family Get-together
We had a wonderful week with our 2 adult daughters, their spouses & 2 grandchildren (ages 9 & 12) at this VRBO. The house is lovely: very clean, is VERY WELL supplied (including lots of high quality cookware & unbreakable glassware & serving platters,+ paper products & lots of kitchen basics such as spices). It has very updated appliances, bathrooms, flat screen TVs, outdoor grill, hot tub and sooo many outdoor games,(including the slack line set-up in the shade., sports equipment, bikes & beach amenities of all types. We were also quite satisfied with linens & towels & the washer /dryer are quite new & well-located. I especially enjoyed the physical property--it is a beautiful large yard with lovely stone walls & large trees and native plantings. The deck, the fire pit with striking blue Adirondack chairs, the level grass play space, the grilling area are all very attractive separate spaces with with plenty of room for a large group in each. The views from all around this well-tended house are so pleasant--very green, restful & bucolic--a New England style yard & garden with varied terrain and LOTS of space! The owner was very responsive & helpful re: a few questions throughout our stay. No complaints other than slightly difficult access from the adjacent highway (which is out of the owner's control & does NOT have any negative effect on enjoyment of the house or yard). All of our family agreed this house deserves the highest rating.

Great spot for a group to relax
The property was a great place for 6 of us to spend a long weekend! It made for a great home base for a friends’ wedding, and the hot tub, firepit and various outdoor seating areas were very well used. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals and the beds were super comfortable! The only slight negative was how close the house was to the main large road, but the sounds were actually not too bad during the day and barely noticeable at night. Would absolutely stay again!

Myself and 7 friends from college thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend in celebration of our 50th bdays! Brian was a pleasure to work with and was always very quick to respond to any questions before, during and after our stay. The house has everything you could want/need from bikes, beach chairs and coolers to plenty of linens, towels, and pillows! We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy each others company in the living room on the chilly Friday night when we arrived. The large desk right off the kitchen also had plenty of sitting room and was very comfy. The yard is beautiful and the hot tub was the icing on the cake of a relaxing weekend with friends. The house is just a quick drive to the beach, Narraganset center and Newport...all which we enjoyed on our weekend too! Thanks so much Brian we all can't wait to return to your beautiful home!

This house was perfect for us! It had everything we needed. All the beds were very comfortable, with nice linens. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, plus a huge assortment of non perishables, so I’d definitely check in first before going to the grocery store. The star of the show for us though was the backyard! Beautiful, private, and plenty of room! The fire pit was awesome, and it was great to have the hot tub too! My granddaughter loved the swing and obstacle course too! The host was a great communicator and everything was exactly as described! We will 100% stay here again, in fact we can’t imagine staying anywhere else!
