We had a great stay. My teen boys all had their own beds which was perfect for our family. Great and quiet location and short drive to all that we wanted to see. There is construction happening on the street, but it didn’t affect us as we were constantly out and about. Host was responsive. Would stay here again in the area!

Back cove neighborhood was really cute…house is fine and enough space for our family of 8 but there were no amenities (toiletries, etc) and one bathroom for so many people was a bit challenging. Otherwise house was clean and location was nice!

Great stay

Great place. Washer and dryer in home. Sadly lots of construction on the street during our stay but did not interfere with stay except for the early morning trucks. Should be a nicely paved road in a few weeks. Thank you.

We had a great time staying in the Back Cove! The house has so much charm and was so comfortable for us girls! We loved the walkability of the area- we walked down the street and right by the water every day! The bedrooms are comfortable and the upstairs room is quite spacious- we were able to sleep 10 very comfortably. I highly recommend!

RI family time

Location was great, loved walking the Back Cove Bike Trail. Close to downtown but still in a quiet friendly neighborhood. Our only difficulty was that I did not realize the 3 floor configuration and had 2 disabled family members with us. We made it work and had a great time.

Comfortable house in good location

It was a comfortable house in a nice neighborhood. Entry was keyless and painless. Owner was helpful and very friendly. Location was ideal for the events of the long weekend. One shower was a bit rough for our party of seven as we had three separate households together, but we worked it out. The half bath on the top floor was helpful. Overall a great experience!!
