Perfect location for a great vacation. Very quiet part of Rhode Island away from the hustle and bustle, yet plenty close enough to many of the highlights of the state. We made day trips to Newport to see the mansions, cliff walk, car museum, and just enjoy the very scenic coastline. Also short drive over to the whaling museum in New Bedford, and Slater mill north of Providence. We also really enjoyed the local beach within walking distance, or a short drive. Overall lots of things to do and see. Pretty much all of the local roads are safe for walking or running, not much of a shoulder but everybody seems courteous and not in a hurry and get over for you.The house was perfect, great views and very well stocked. We really enjoyed using the gas grill while sipping on a glass of wine. Overall couldn't ask for more.
