Great place for a family beach vacation.

We had a busy, fun week at this beach house. It was super clean, well stocked and comfortable for little ones and pets. The town beach is walkable but with small kids you will want to drive. We made s’mores at the backyard fire pit, a new experience for my grandson. Once that screen door is fixed I would highly recommend this house for a fun family beach week!

We had a great week in this beautiful, well equipped, clean and comfortable home! We had 3 generations here - 5 adults, 1 three year old and one senior doggie. We had visits from friends and family. Lots of room for everyone! 3 bathrooms was a plus! We enjoyed the large backyard with the fire pit. The owner is very responsive and sweet! We would definitely rent this home again!

Great vacation house in a great vacation area!

Our stay in this welcoming, spacious house had everything we desired! The house is obviously well loved and cared for. It was clean, supplied with quality linens and towels, and well stocked with household necessities. It is within walking distance of everything one could need or want on a vacation: beach, restaurants, playgrounds, farm stand, small market and an ice cream stand. The house has a large yard with a fire pit, beautiful trees, and an outdoor shower. Matunuck is a special ocean side summer vacation spot and this is a special house.

What a great experience! Three generations of adult family members had plenty of room to enjoy the house and lovely yard. It was a quick walk to beach, farmstand, market or ice cream stand. And it was a short drive to other beaches, restaurants and local landmarks. Joslin was a great host, made it easy to arrange the rental, called us upon arrival to greet us and let us know we could contact her if anything was needed. We hope to be back again next year!!!

We had a great experience with this rental and owner. Property manager is great, very responsive. Homeowner is great, damage deposit completely returned. House is near the omist and joyce's pub. Each bedroom is huge with plenty of privacy for each renter. Yard is huge, outdoor firepit a definite advantage. Housekeepers were so helpful. Definitely recommend this one for students who want a big, clean, comfortable house one block from the ocean.

Beautiful summer vacation rental

Home is beautifully spacious with two main living areas plus a basement. My husband and I and our 1 year old shared this space with both sets of grandparents and it never felt crowded. There was no waiting for the bathroom to get ready and there was plenty of seating for meals and hanging out around the fire. The home is well equipped with updated appliances. The hosts have clear instructions available and were very communicative in the days leading up to our stay and afterwards to coordinate check in and check out. 10/10 would recommend this space!

Wonderful vacation in a wonderful house and location! The comfortable house has space for everyone - from kids to seniors - a large back yard with a grill, fire pit, trees, and privacy. When you walk through the back yard, you are steps away from one of the best farmers markets in the state. The house is well stocked and has up to date appliances and furnishings. Joslin and Tom have thought of and provided everything you might need. The town beach is a short walk away. Sea View Market, on the walk to the beach, has just about anything you need from groceries to great deli and bakery items. The Vanilla Bean, also near the beach, has great ice cream. The Matunuck area is a long established vacation community that is warm and welcoming. Nearby you can find a summer theater, a surfing area, a wildlife refuge, and a lingering feel of its past as an artists' colony. There are also many good restaurants in the area.

Lovely Rhode Island Vacation House

Our family consisted of 8 adults and 2 children. We had a wonderful week staying in Matunuck. The house was more than adequate for our family. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The yard was such a great space - from the fire pit - to the hammock - and the extra space for the kids to run around. There was enough parking for 5 cars and a boat. The farm market so close by was great, as was the beach, ice cream shop and market. We’ve spent many summers in Rhode Island and I have to say this was a most memorable experience for our family. Our hosts had everything in order as stated that we didn’t need reach out for anything. We look forward to returning next summer for a repeat of an excellent vacation! Thank you for everything Joslin!

Paul and I had a wonderful stay at this house. The house is clean and comfortable. We took this vacation to celebrate my husband’s birthday and retirement we couldn’t have had a better time. This house has everything you need beautiful yard fire pit and beautiful views of foxes playing in the area and deer. Thank you so much Jocelyn and Tom for your kindness. We would recommend this house for sure. We had family and friends stop over to enjoy the house and to celebrate my amazing husband Paul. He ended his long career as a officer and also celebrate his birthday. The beach was beautiful and sunny . On the rainy day we took that time to go to the movies and then spent the evening at the ocean mist. Thank you again Jocelyn and Tom we hope to do this again.

Awesome August Adventure

We absolutely loved our time at Joslin and Tom’s place!! They were able to accommodate us last minute after a terrible experience at another rental nearby, and we never looked back! The house is perfect for parents with young kids - plenty of space for everyone inside and the garden is huge and great for adventurous little ones! The beach is a short walk away as are the local supermarket, pubs, restaurant and pizza shop 😋! And it’s an awesome location for plenty of great day excursion options on the few days when the weather didn’t cooperate. Thank you for saving our summer Joslin & Tom - we’ll be back!

Home Away From Home

I had the time of my life with my three children: Jamie 21 leaving August 23, 2021 for new job in Cleveland, Elijah 20 going away to college August 14, 2021 and Austin 19 leaving for boot camp October 23, 2021. I wanted to be alone with my children before they embark on their new phases in life. We loved the place and are big fans of Matunuck Beach. The bedrooms are clean and spacious, 4 showers including outside, the morning coffee and meals in the user friendly kitchen couldn't of been better. Most important, the place is cozy and warm. The yard is beautiful (includes a grill and fire pit)! Frankly, the photos do not do the house or area justice. Ten minute walk to the beach or Vanilla Bean or local market. We rode bikes to the wildlife refuge on Old School Road. Every other day we walk 100 yards to the farm for fresh vegetables, brad etc. The restaurants were awesome. We had the time of our life. This is the first family vacation I had alone with my children since my divorce 7 years ago. I said to myself; If we can't be happy here, we can't be happy anywhere. As a father, I have never been prouder. Thank you Joslin and Tom

Nice place for a family vacation

I planned this trip for a large family vacation with 10 adults and 2 children under 2 years old. Overall the house was really nice, it's not a super fancy place, but that's not what we were looking for. Everything in the house was in working order and the four bedrooms were good sized, three of them large enough to also put a pack n play for a toddler/baby to sleep in. Every room had air conditioning so the house was very comfortable even though temperatures reached 90 degrees during our stay. Some of the AC units are kind of old and loud, but they worked. The air conditioner in the basement died on our first day and the owner Joslin and her husband came within a half hour of me calling her to fix the issue. It was great to have on site laundry so we could wash stuff during the week, especially with young kids. The machines are very big and work perfectly. There's also three full bathrooms plus an outside shower and we never ran out of hot water. The back yard was great, very big for our dogs to run around and set up a badminton net, and there was a really nice fire pit that we used almost every night. The only issues with the house itself was that the people who had to sleep in the basement apartment complained that it was a bit musty/stuffy down there, probably a better place for kids rather than adults, and the grill out back was pretty old and had to be lit by hand, the beds also weren't the most comfortable things I've slept on, but not horrible. The common areas (living room, kitchen, dining room.) were a bit small for the amount of people who can stay in the house, but luckily the weather was good during our entire visit so we didn't use them much. The house is less than a quarter mile to the Town Beach, which was very nice every day of our stay except the last one when it was over run with seaweed. It's an easy walk or quick bike ride/drive. There's quite a few good places to eat nearby as well. We found a nice spot to put kayaks into the inlet on the end of the next street over. The area is also great for road bike riding if you're into that, head west past the theatre so you can avoid having to ride on Rt. 1. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Excellent beach house rental!

Excellent rental! Plenty to see and do for young and old. Beach is minutes away by foot, nearest two for older teens is about 10 minutes by car. Very safe area, yard is huge - largest we have seen - with an outdoor firepit, nice large picnic table and seating around firepit. Nicely landscaped. Linens are clean and fresh, some are older, but clean and fresh. Outdoor hot/cold shower worked great for our family. Owners leave on movie channel for rainy days which we had two of - and we enjoyed some quiet family movie afternoons which we don't get to do too much! Great rental for all.

Love this beach house!

This is our fifth year renting this beach house and we have booked for next summer. We try to book our stay during the Run for Kerri event in July and as a family we participate in the run! The house is spacious, the linens are fresh and clean, there are plenty of towels for everyone. The yard is huge - over an acre, with a great firepit, nice large picnic table with umbrella, and well landscaped. The house is well maintained and very comfortable for our family of 14. with air conditioning on every floor. Everything is within a 5 minute walk and the beach is very close for family members of all ages. Kitchen is well stocked and appliances are clean and in good working order. Thank you for renting exactly what you advertise!

8 Antique road

Each year extended family plans a vacation to a different locale. This year we chose to stay close to home and stayed at 8 Antique Road in Matunuck, Rhode Island. The house is a Cape style and provided plenty of room for 14 of us. The house was a ten minute walk to the beach (one minute by car) and the beach (South Kingstown Town Beach) was fantastic. 8 Antique Road provided plenty of parking spaces for the families vehicles and the yard was large. The linens supplied were fine and dishes and utensils were adequate. This house is not fully air conditioned. There are four units (kitchen, 2 bedrooms upstairs, and basement). The kitchen unit was at its max and still struggled to keep the area cool. Two bedrooms did not have units and made sleeping difficult as the week was extremely hot and humid. The furniture near the backyard fire pit was old and needs to be replaced. Sitting on the wood furniture near the pit was at your own risk as the wood was rotted. There was a new picnic table near the barbeque. There was a great deal of poison ivy growing in and around a tree in the driveway and on a tree near the fire pit so that area had to be avoided. The owner was great and responded quickly to our need to have a slow drain in the shower cleaned out. They promised to take care of the poison ivy later in the season. I would definitely recommend this property if you are looking to vacation in Southern Rhode Island.
