Island Apartment in the Heart of Jamestown

The Heart of Jamestown ranked as a super-host since 2019. We're owner occupied so only a text away 24/7. November 2024 a new king bed and chairs for a sitting area arrive!! We are walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and ferry service to Newport. Beavertail State Park & Fort Wetherill are a bike ride away . There is a private entrance with keypad, A/C, and one off street parking space. State Reg #00074-STR. What makes us special is the fact we love hosting, because you are a special guest within our 3 family home. Guest reviews routinely mention the homemade baked goods (I owned a bakery in the past), cleanliness of the space, and the central location. There is a 3 night minimum for this apartment, however we also have a 3rd floor B&B space with only a 1 night minimum if you want a quick get away, and don't mind stairs. We can't wait to meet you!

Fabulous experience at the Island apartment in the Heart of Jamestown! The one bedroom unit is huge, has all the amenities of home, was so clean and updated and the location is perfect. Short walking distance to all that downtown Jamestown has to offer; many great restaurants, shops and the proximity to the water is so nice. The property owner is wonderful; very communicative and thinks of everything and more! She will surprise you with many thoughtful touches & extras. For those not knowing the area, Jamestown is a perfect central location for getting to Newport, Portsmouth and even Mystic, CT. This property has my highest recommendation! Thank you for a wonderful visit.

One of the best stays I’ve had in years! Location is PERFECT - it truly is in the heart of Jamestown. The space is large, very comfortable, and well appointed. The owner left no stone unturned - so many nice details from fresh baked items upon arrival, to beach gear, and local recommendations for dining, events, and activities. I can’t wait to return for another visit!

FANTASTIC!!!

This place is absolutely amazing!! My husband and I wanted to get away for a long weekend and the apartment was available. It was so cozy, very clean, and just the perfect spot! Within walking distance to the beach, the ferry, places to eat, and shops. Connie is the best! She left us homemade cookies, snacks, and a gift for staying. She also had brochures available in the apartment. We also loved the pond with the fish and all of the around. Just beautiful! We will definitely be back someday!

Practically perfect in every way

First, it was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean! Host (Connie) met us when we arrived, showed us around, and told us about local dining and places to see; and then she left us to enjoy the apartment and the town.

Great apartment and location!

The apartment is just as described. It was all recently updated and a very comfortable space for the two of us. Connie was an excellent host, there to greet us and show us around when we arrived. The homemade wine and cookies were delicious and very much appreciated. There's a host's book with lots of helpful information. The location was ideal, right on the main street, and a short walk to incredible restaurants, shops and the water. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful Oasis in the heart of Jamestown

An absolutely beautiful spot from the cozy accommodations to the breathtaking gardens and koi pond! Home baked cookies and a Zucchini bread was a treat that lasted us our entire stay! The house is very neat and clean with many comforts of home! A short walk to restaurants , coffee shops and charming Jamestown center makes this rental the perfect place to stay!

Cute and perfect appartement

Connie was absolutely the best host we had so far. She welcomed us with a basket of treats and homemade pastries. The apartment was very well equipped and very clean. Connie was fast to answer our questions and made us confortable throughout our stay. The location on the main street was great, the firefighter station across the street was never an inconvenience. Overall one of our best stays. Thank you Connie!

Great Place!

Great location. Close to little shops, bakeries, restaurants, even a small brewery. Walking distance to ferry. Friendly people. Lots to do without the noise and hassle. Connie was a great host. Clean and well kept. Connie had homemade goodies waiting for us and enough to get us started if we forgot something or didn't feel like going to the market. Highly recommend!

Perfect Vacation

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay in Jamestown. Our host was exceptional in every way. This apartment had everything you could ask for. Bed, sheets & towels were top quality. Also laundry facilities were easy to use & very clean. All our questions & concerns were dealt with immediately. Very friendly & cozy atmosphere. Walking distance to anything we needed was an added bonus. She handled our car emergency like family, turning a bad situation into a quickly resolved one. We can not say enough good things about this host & her commitment to her vacationers. We would HIGHLY recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a great place to relax or keep busy. You will find them both in Jamestown, Rhode Island

Gorgeous Apartment and Wonderful Host in Fantastic Location!

Our stay in Connie’s apartment was absolutely fantastic! She is an amazing lady and an incredible host who made us feel welcome immediately in her beautiful apartment. The apartment is bright, cheery and very clean with lots of storage space, and shelving. She decorated it beautifully and the attention to detail and effort she put into it to truly make it a home away from home was obvious to us both. She thought of every possible thing a visitor could need or want. The full kitchen is large and sunny with lots of windows and everything we needed for eating in. One of her many amazing accomplishments throughout her life was being the owner of a bakery and, upon arriving, she made us the best homemade chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. On the morning of our departure, she gave us a freshly baked loaf of homemade zucchini bread with fresh zucchini from her garden… it was amazing!!! The location of her apartment is perfect… right in the center of Jamestown in walking distance to restaurants, shops and the Jamestown Ferry. Connie, we had a _wonderful_ time. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment. Looking forward to returning next summer!!!

BEST place to stay for Jamestown and Newport vacations

Connie was an unbelievable host. Her property was perfect - clean, large, comfortable, and close to everything. She was attentive when needed and gave us snacks! Most importantly she knew everything about the surrounding area, and really helped us sculpt our trip (without being remotely overbearing). I am 100% staying here again next time I’m in RI. Thank you Connie!

Perfect in all ways!

We came to Jamestown to visit with family. This little apartment was just perfect! Super clean, new kitchen ware, spiffy bathroom…. And located steps from the harbor and restaurants. We wondered if the fire station would be a problem but heard hardly a peep all week. The landlady is a delight leaving cookies, wine and offfering help if needed. We will surely book this apartment again! A+
