| Lovely waterfront home with all the amenities for entertaining & activities. Complete chef's culinary kitchen, plenty of comfortable bed mattress's to sleep lots of adults & children, open & screen deck with enclosed sunroom to enjoy the magnificent views Ninegret Pond has to offer - wildlife, sunsets,etc. Dock & boathouse for boating, kayaking, sailing, fishing. Very private, tranquil, and relaxing location. Close to nearby beaches with parking passes included. Family & friends all truly enjoyed themselves. Vacationed with 80yr old grandmother, wife, & children everyone was happy. |

Nice house in a great location. Everything we needed was there. A great rental for almost any situation with a large group, the second kitchen was a huge bonus.
You should (owners) really invest in a new dishwashing machine, a couple hundred dollars would prevent the backup like the one we had.
Notwithstanding, I would absolutely rent the house again. |

Thanks, Matt. The dishwasher was replaced before the next guest checked in.

Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed renting the
Ninigret house. Hopefully everything was found in order
after we left. What a beautiful view and the accomodations
were comfortable and pretty much hassle-free. We had a
little trouble w/ the door knobs/locks but other than that
we loved your home and look forward to coming back again
another time! |

| The place was big enough for our 5 family units that we never felt crowded. It was cozy enough that we all stayed easily connected & able to make/follow whole group or small group plans or solitary activities. Having so many places to eat & socialize or just curl up with a book or even escape on the water for some shore bird watching was a real plus. Highly recommended for foodies too, given well-appointed kitchen! |

After a particularly stressful year we decided to take a family vacation and get some R&R.The house on Ninigret Pond by far exceeded our expectations. There were 12 of us and at no time did we feel crowded.
The view alone helped heal some very frazzled nerves. We will be forever grateful that people like you open their homes for all to enjoy! |

| We spent the weekend with a group of family and friends for a spring get-together. The house was the perfect venue! We trailered down our 13' Boston Whaler runabout which fit perfectly in the boathouse. Thanks so much, hope to see you again in the future. |

| The 13 members of my family (ages 3 yrs. to 60 something) enjoyed our stay on Ninigret Pond greatly - It was clean, well appointed and had every feature that made us comfortable. We had many wonderful evenings playing games on the big diningroom table & the view from the porches was lovely. Plenty of room in the yard for the children to enjoy the outdoors. Overall a fun family week. |

| Our four-generation newly-extended family had a wonderful time at Ninigret Pond. It was a joy for everyone--age 3 months to 88 years--to hang out, eat on the porch, go sailing, watch DVDs. We tried three beaches (Misquamicut, Charlestown, Weekapaug), loved all of them. A highlight was lobster dinner; we bought the lobsters at the Mini-Mart (fresh, and reasonably priced) and let them crawl around on the kitchen floor before subjecting them to their fate. The well-stocked kitchen provided the needed large kettles, no problem. |

We used the Ninigret house for a family reunion -- there were 8 of us, including one 84 year old! This house has a stunning view and wonderful family areas. You can see the huge, beautiful "pond" and the boats on it from the deck, screened porch, dining area, living area, sun room, and kitchen. We ate on the screened porch most of the time because it was so gorgeous. The kitchen is huge, well-stocked and comfortable; many of us could work simultaneously while the rest sat and chatted.
We found innumerable great beaches nearby and took many long walks along them. We also made frequent use of the kayak that came with the house. The house is also well-situated for trips to Newport, Block Island, and the Pawtucket Red Sox (all of which we did.) I must admit, the kitchen was so inviting we did not go out to dinner.
We definitely recommend this house for a beach vacation with unbelievable views and plenty of living space to be together without being on top of each other. |

| We rented this property for two weeks. One week the temperatures were between 95-100 degrees. It was fantastic to be in a beautiful air conditioned home. The Weekapaug Beach Pass was used everyday. It is one of the most beautiful beaches and well worth the 10 minute drive from the house. Great views from the screened in porch and deck. |

| I spent the weekend with my coworkers for a retreat. We had a great time! There was so much to do and so many relaxing locations around the property. The use of the kayaks was a treat! The house was much larger than I anticipated, and it accomodated 11 comfortably. We will likely make this our annual meeting place. |

| We are a group of 12 menopausal ladies who have been going away one weekend of the year for 10 years. One of our group developed a reocurrance of her cancer so these weekends have taken on a more special meaning. Our stay in the Ninigret House was exceptional from start to finish. The house lent itself very comfortably to twelve women. It was spacious yet homey - the view was magnificent each morning and evening, the beds were great (best away sleep any of us has had!) and the closest restaurant, The General Stanton Inn, will never have as good a Karaoke Night as they had with us! It was unanimous - we will be back! |

| We had a wonderful weekend on Ninigret Pond in celebration of our 15-year high school reunion. The views are spectacular - even in the rain! The kitchen and living areas are very spacious and well-equipped to create meals for many. The house has high-speed internet and wireless access which allowed a few of us to "work" remotely. Most importantly, the owner and caretaker were incredibly responsive and accomodating. |

The house and view are beautiful. The kayaks and sail boats are a wonderful feature of a well-equipped, well-designed, and restful location.
The owners are very responsive. |

Beautiful house, great setting, nicely decorated, very professionally managed!
My family and I met here for a long weekend, great layout for socializing with a kitchen that could handle the many cooks we had!
Thanks! |

What a wonderful house in a wonderful
location. The house is VERY well equipped
and comfortable. The setting is ideal for
relaxing and enjoying peace and quiet, yet it
is close-by to many area attractions. We had
a great time. |

| The house was very well-equipped, comfortable, and spacious. The views are beautiful. The downstairs section could have a better dehumidifying system to prevent it from being so musty. |

We installed a professional dehumidification system, so this should address the humidity on those very wet days.
