The NEST is just that… a cozy nest … it was spacious but intimate… the bedrooms were on either side which is a plus!! And for me a comfortable bed is the main issue as it can make or break a vaca and my bed was extremely comfortable !!! Black out curtains are my second thing and it had them. Even the couch was comfy… we didn’t cook in but kitchen was well stocked … we were very happy with our stay. Hopefully we can rent it again next Labor Day weekend for The Rhythm and Roots Festival!!!

Rhode Island Beach Trip

We had a great stay for our RI Beach trip. The house had everything we needed. It was very clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable. We loved the kitchen and the grill on the deck. The host was very nice and the check-in process was very smooth. The area was very peaceful and quiet. We loved the games that were available, we had a lot of fun playing family card games each night. We would definitely stay here again.

Charming Charleston Guesthouse!

My husband, parents, two dogs and I stayed for two nights in Melissa and Eric’s Nest, and enjoyed every second. The space was spotless and spacious and the kitchen well-stocked. While the main house is close to the guesthouse, we had absolute privacy and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Melissa and Eric were very responsive and kind hosts, and even left us a welcome basket with water and snacks! We had a great lunch at Matunuck Oyster House (highly recommend!) and enjoyed checking out the small beach towns nearby.

Cozy stay

We had a wonderful stay in Rhode island! The hosts were wonderful! Easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to provide amenities for us to make the stay even more comfortable! The space is more open than it even looks in the pictures, and my family of four (children 7 and a year and a half) and our dog had more than enough room. Our plans were diverted due to the weather but we made it worth while and the house was very comfortable spending more time in it than anticipated, playing games as a family and hanging out. Would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful and welcoming.

The Nest is located in a lovely part of Charlestown and has easy access to many of the popular sites (Narragansett, Newport, Kingston, Mystic CT). Our hosts, Melissa and Eric, were welcoming, checking in with us periodically to ensure we had everything we needed. The apartment is beautiful, welcoming, and a restorative place. There was not a single amenty that wasn’t intentionally considered in advance. The only word that comes to mind that could capture our experience at the Nest is magical. Don’t hesitate to book the Nest for your stay in south county. You won’t regret it!
