Excellent stay!
Gary was a truly gracious host. The house is beautiful and very clean. There are so many amenities that made the stay even more enjoyable including the upgrades to the bathrooms. The pool was perfect to cool down after the heat wave that hit and the hot tub was amazing as well. The kitchen has everything anyone would need to make meals while enjoying your stay. We will definitely stay again in the future! The view is pretty great too. Thank you, Gary!

Great view and great house
My wife and I stayed here with our two small children and absolutely loved it. The house was clean and comfortable and the host was extremely thoughtful and responsive. And the view of the water from the living room was gorgeous! We definitely want to stay here again in the future. The location is also great. Whether you want to take a day trip to Boston, or go to Newport, or Providence the house is conveniently located near the highway making it easy to get to multiple places. Route 6 is also close by if you want to make a quick Target run.The hot tub and sauna were nice amenities!

College Friends Retreat
My college friends and I get together annually for a much needed get away. This year we picked Somerset, MA. This place caught our eyes with the promised water views. This place didn't let us down. The pictures don't do it justice and we can't wait to return.

A Truly Wondeful Experience!
There is not enough space to write all the good things about staying at this property. From the host, Gary, who is not only attentive, but thought and super professional to the cleanliness and amenities of the property, this is truly a gem. So often a “beautiful water view” is described, but this is the first time the view was BETTER than described. It was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. There should be no hesitation to book at this property.

My west coast family stayed at Gary’s property to meet my new great grandson. We had a memorable time. The property had everything you could need. We loved the above ground pool and the jacuzzi. My son~in-law really liked the sauna. Gary was extremely attentive, even if it was a small matter. Gary is a great guy and aims to please. We would definitely return.

Fabulous vacation home!
The home was exactly as described. Every detail was thought of and it was the best vacation home we have stayed in, from the comfort of the beds, to the well appointed kitchen, and the hot tub, pool, and board games. Gary communicated with us throughout the booking process, check in, and during our stay making sure we were comfortable. I would highly recommend this home. It was conveniently located to Fall River, about 1/2 an hour from Newport, and we drove in to Boston twice during our stay. A great central location.

He even had a book of the area to help you find places to go and eat. I would highly recommend his house and would definitely return here again. Thanks again Gary we had a wonderful time.

AWESOME STAY!!
Gary’s home is so beautiful! The view of the sunset over the water was absolutely stunning. We stay at a lot of VRBO’s and this one was set up perfectly! No detail was missed, and so many little details added. Location is at the end of a point right on the water with expansive views, but you’re still so close to everything. We were visiting family in the area and will definitely be back to this gorgeous home! Highly recommend!!!

Family Vacation
Gary is a wonderful host and his home is beautiful! He is very thoughtful and remembered to add details to his home .. kayaks, life jackets , locally made necklaces coffee bar and refrigerator in the master as well as a sauna. He also made arrangements for a chef to cook for us one night. This location is an hour from Boston or Newport and Block Island Ferry. Private access to a beach was right across the street. The porch was huge with plenty of seating. Gary was extremely easy to communicate with, very kind and quick to respond. We would absolutely love to stay at Heart of Somerset again!!!!

Heart of Somerset
The house was a recent total renovation and is beautiful. with new appliances, IT, grill and great showers! Beautiful water view from wrap-around porch. Air Hockey, Foos Ball in basement and nice yard for lawn games. Unfortunately area beaches closed due to rain and bacteria but museums, Battleship Cove and Newport are short drives.
Host is very accessible and works to meet quests needs.

Heart of Somerset was a true home away from home
5 stars all the way, beautiful property with over the top amenities. The highlight though was Gary and the care he showed as a host, we were welcomed with gifts as soon as we entered and immediately felt at home. Gary has the place stocked with everything one would need for a trip, we really only needed our clothes and food and drink for our stay, he put great effort into supplying all the other comforts of home, we didn't want to leave when it was time and we will definitely be looking out for availability for our next trip up that way, truly a home away from home and the breeze coming off the water was great at night while sitting on the front porch listening to the waves lapping upon the beach. Thanks again from all of us Gary, couldn't ask for a better experience!

The showers are amazing! The view, spectacular. Location- central to all kinds of fun places. The best part was the host! Unbelievably accommodating.

Simply gorgeous spot!
My family had to make a last minute trip to the area due to a death in the family. I had family members coming in on different days at different times, but we really wanted to stay together. I found Gary's house which had ample space and he graciously accommodated all our needs. All we really needed was a place with a lot of bedrooms for us all, but Gary's place was above and beyond! It was perfectly set up for a vacation rental with all the things you need and nothing that you don't. First it's located in a beautiful spot with a stunning view of the water and the Mount Hope Bridge in the distance. The house has been completely remodeled and is very clean and beachy. The beds and furniture were comfortable, the bathrooms were amazing with spa-like showers, and there was just enough decor to make it homey and pleasant without being overbearing. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we really appreciated the expanding table as we had a big family dinner one night. I have stayed in a lot of short-term vacation rentals over the years and I can't think of one that was better appointed for a travelling family. Gary himself was super nice and helpful, and check in/out was simple and fast. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in the area.
