The location of this home is exactly what we were looking for for our Easter weekend in Jamestown. Walkable to town, Church and the waterfront was perfect. The fireplace was a cozy addition and needed on the chilly weekend. 5 stars for cleanliness, information provided upon arrival about the home and the town, and the host was very communicative. The outdoor space was lovely as well. Highly recommend this house!!

We loved this cottage and will be back! This home hit all the marks on the picky things I care about: enough wall hooks in foyer, bathroom and anywhere an item would need to be hung; clean floor rugs in the bathroom; more than one roll of paper towels in the kitchen; extra blankets; newer pillows on the bed; a pet bed in the living area, a washer & dryer, a three-sides- fenced backyard; and every kitchen item we could possibly need. The bonus was the one-click gas fireplace. We used it a lot! The home was in walking distance to the marina, restaurants and shops. McQuade’s Grocery Store was about a block away. It provided our Thanksgiving Meal. Owner Paul was easy to communicate with and he responded quickly to questions. We would definitely stay here again due to location, cleanliness, convenience and price.

This was the perfect property for a girl's weekend in Newport. The property was spotless and well appointed. The front porch was perfect for coffee and reading in the morning and cocktails before bed. There are a bunch of restaurants very close (Beech was amazing) and a grocery store with everything you could need right around the corner. It was only a quick trip over the bridge to Thames Street and a tiny bit farther to the mansions.The host was very responsive and the house made the trip perfect!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay in Jamestown. The house is beautiful, very comfortable, and has everything you could possibly need. It's just a short walk into town, to the restaurants, shops and ferry, and a quick drive to Newport. We had a great week.

A Perfect Stay in Jamestown Our stay in Jamestown was nothing short of exceptional. The house was immaculate—truly spotless and beautifully maintained, making it feel like a serene retreat from the moment we walked in. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the beds were perfectly firm, offering the kind of restful sleep that’s hard to come by when traveling.The location couldn’t have been better. Just a short stroll to the Jamestown Newport Ferry, we found ourselves effortlessly exploring Newport’s charm without the hassle of parking or traffic. And Jamestown itself, A hidden gem. The town is quaint and welcoming, with lovely shops and restaurants that made every outing feel special. Whether we were grabbing coffee, browsing local shops or enjoying a quiet dinner, everything was close, easy, and delightful.We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of coastal magic

Great Rental at Edge of Jamestown Village
Very quiet neighborhood within two-block walk of the restaurants and shops along Narragansett Ave. in Jamestown Village. Paul is an excellent host for this 2-BR/1.5 BA house on Cole St. The beds, linens, towels, and kitchen provisions were great. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious back deck for breakfasts. We had a great 4-night stay and highly recommend Paul's rental as a great value given the quality and location.

A perfect RI weekend
The house was in a great location, spotless, well tended, completely equipped with everything needed. Everything worked. It was extremely quiet and in a nice neighborhood. Layout was fantastic. Written directions simple but thorough. We easily walked to Mackerel Cove beach but could have driven and parked if we wanted. My adult daughter and I had a relaxing, fun weekend. Hope to go back.

Great
Property was perfect for our stay. It was super clean and exactly as described. We did notice that the stairs to the second floor are a little steep - we didn’t have any trouble with them, but our older dog was a little hesitant at first. We’ll definitely be back when we need a place to stay in town!

Walkable neighborhood
This property works well for us as far as location, restaurants/ cafes, local grocery and local parks to take our dog especially the lighthouse. Kitchen was well stocked, if I decided to cook. The only thing I would have liked is to have the back entirelly enclosed, so I could let my dog off leash
