Guest Access:
Enjoy full private access to the garden floor apartment. We have everything you need for a seamless and enjoyable stay. The patio is available to guests anytime when there is not an event taking place. Of note, there are common areas that may be shared by other guests.
The owner resides on-site and may at times use the shared entry hallway to reach a private front suite.
This is a garden-level apartment located next to a theater and an alley, so occasional noise may be heard from outside. Additionally, the apartment is situated directly below an event space. While most events end by 10:00 PM, guests may hear activity during these times. We want to ensure you're fully informed so you can enjoy your stay comfortably!
The Neighborhood:
Aquidneck Island is a coastal enclave known for its scenic charm, historic character, and approachable scale. With most streets limited to 25 mph, the island maintains a calm, family-friendly atmosphere that encourages unhurried exploration. Its intimate size makes it easy to navigate, offering a quiet rhythm that reflects the essence of seaside New England.
Getting Around:
Getting around is easy and enjoyable. Most of our homes are located in residential areas where you can walk, bike, ride a scooter, or rent a golf cart to explore. The islands are relatively small, and with a 25 mph speed limit on most streets, the area stays safe, family-friendly, and relaxed.
Other Things to Note:
We provide dedicated parking for up to 1 vehicle in the spaces immediately behind the building. Please note that parking on the street is not permitted and subject to ticketing and towing. To avoid any issues, kindly use only the dedicated parking spaces and limit to 1 vehicle.
Interaction with Guests:
We live right down the street! Please do not hesitate to give us a call or text if you need anything. Otherwise, we like to give our guests their own space to relax and enjoy their stay.
