Perfect Get Away

Caitlin and Chris’ place is cozy, tranquil and situated in beautiful area. You can easily walk into town or drive to other great locations such as Stonnington, Westerly and Newport. This was our third or fourth time staying with them and have never been disappointed. It is so nice to stay during the off season. We look forward to staying here in the spring. I highly recommend this place.

Weekend Stay

Husband and I stayed for the weekend. Amazing spot. So clean, cozy and cute. Felt like staying at a little beach cottage. The area is BEAUTIFUL. You can see the water from the property. It's quiet but also super close to all the best places to eat and fun little shops. We even walked to dinner at S&P Oyster one night. Close to many things. Only took us about 15 mins to get to Foxwoods Casino. Hosts were great and responsive. 10/10 would recommend.

Hemingway Retreat

We highly recommend Hemingway Retreat and we will definitely be staying here again. The cottage is clean, cosy, comfortable and has a nice ambiance. Caitlin has provided some snacks, sodas and water as well as a Keuring coffee maker and a variety of coffee. The property is quiet and is only a short walk to town, (sidewalks all of the way) which during the busy season alleviates trying to find parking. Walking at night felt very safe. Caitlin and Chris met us upon our arrival and were helpful with suggestions for places to eat. Thank you. Kathleen and Dean

Perfect Place to Get Away

The sweetest little cottage tucked away from the busy shops! Hubby and I had a weekend of events to attend including a wedding and even though the space is studio style, we had enough room to spread out and get ready without tripping over each other. It's quiet and cozy, the perfect place to recharge!

Just perfect!

From booking to check out, excellent experience. Fast communication with host. Very accommodating. The house was clean, neat, cozy, private and the location couldn't be better. We could walk to everything. Just by the water. Amazing in the mornings with the fog covering the water down the road. Fire pit at night. Pleasant surprise to find snacks and drinks in fridge. Can't recommend this amazing place enough. The host also recommended places to eat. Great great delicious food within walking distance. My girlfriend and I were beyond happy with the stay, just wished we didn't have to work the next day so we could stay longer.

Perfect Get Away

The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. The location and quaintness of their listing was fantastic! I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this rental. I do not know how four people would actually fit. My daughter and I would definitely stay again and will most likely plan a trip in the next several weeks. The location is fabulous! Many thanks!
