General overview
I absolutely love my victorian home which I brought by myself five years ago. It’s in the heart of a very popular beach town in the summer, while in the autumn, and winter, beaches are all to your self. I am slowly renovating it, however the kitchen a full bath have been completely redone. It has old world feeling with modern features. I live close to bustling downtown with a great night life. Very walkable and safe. My dog will be at doggie camp during my absence.
My house can sleep five.
I am looking for short term. A week to ten days. A simultaneous exchange.
The train is in town and will take you to Boston Massachusetts, 90 minutes away, or to the city. New York that is, in 21/2 hours.

We’ll grab coffee, I’m excited to show you around.
My second visit to Chris’s home was better than the first! Besides the beautiful beach and lighthouse (and a view of Taylor Swifts house) we took a day trip to Newport. The cliff walk, historic homes and the harbor are all worth seeing. Chris’s home is so close to so many great places (next trip Providence and Mystic Seaport), but also great if you just want a relaxing weekend at the beach. I may have to make this an annual trip!
Cozy 120 year old house that has a new kitchen, porch and paint. It was perfect for our family of 4. We were able to sit out on the back deck and eat dinner amount the flowers. Westerly is an adorable town with some great restaurants and antique stores. The beach is 15 min away and we got to see Taylor Swifts house, which thrilled my daughter.
Christine is a very thoughtful host. She made us feel welcome in her charming house. She went out of her way to provide a playpen for our little one. We had excellent communication before and during our trip. She answered all our questions and provided us with some tips to visit the area. Her house is located in a VERY enviable area : less than 10 minutes by car to a lot of stunning beaches. We also visited Newport
and Providence on day trips which was easy. A lot do in the area with kids :) Thanks Christine! Will definetely be back in Rhode Island in the future.
Chris is so friendly and easy to talk to. She’s a great communicator and very quick to respond to messages. Chris was super respectful of my home and left it in great shape.
Christine was a wonderful guest who took great care of my house. I think it was cleaner when I got home than when I left! She was so considerate to bring me a puzzle of Block Island, having seen that I enjoy doing them.
Christine and her group of friends were fabulous guests! We had great contact in advance and met on zoom a couple of times so they felt like friends before they even got here. Our home was spotless with the loveliest notes left for us. We really enjoyed having them as guests and would welcome any of them back!
The lake house with a huge wraparound deck did not disappoint. The house is adjacent to the lake and has numerous views as well as canoes, and kayaks at your disposal. It’s 1/2 hour from Mount Washington and an hour from Portland Maine. It was immaculate.
There is a pool table and plenty of games for a rainy day. We spent a long weekend there and felt relaxed a rested.
We thank Louise and Al for the great time and wonderful pure maple syrup they left.
This was our second time at Jennifer’s well equipped lake house in New York State. It was a lovely long weekend, with swimming and campfires by the lake right outside the back door. We saw some beautiful sunrises. Winery’s are close as is Woodstock, which is always a thrill for this hippie. It’s an easy ride for us to NY State and i hope we can exchange again next Memorial Day Weekend. Thank you to Jennifer and her family. We’re practically best friends by now. You won’t go wrong staying here with a big group or just an intimate setting. Thank you again!!!
They left my house immaculate and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them in my home again.
What a fabulous house situated on a lake, in the backyard with plenty of privacy.
you can watch the sunrise while you sip your coffee on the back deck. House has is well stocked with amenities to cook yourself and is great for large gatherings.
Thank you to our host Jennifer, it was the perfect weekend getaway.
Jennifer and her family were clean, neat and tidy. Even washing the bedding when I told them I would do it upon return.
My guests left me wonderful maple syrup and chocolates.
Welcomed back anytime to the pink house at the beach .
What a fabulous stay! Jessika and Drew’s penthouse was gutted and designed by Jessika and Drew. It’s colors flowed from room to room, a great bathroom with soaking tub.
there is lovely outdoor patio. There are restaurants and bistros close by.
It’s an easy few stops into center Amsterdam, and their their home provided an oasis of comfort.
Much peace,
Christine
Thanks Chris, it was so lovely being ableto host you and your friends. See you next time I hope! :)
What a beautiful family that visited my Rhode Island home. Everything was left immaculate, possibly better shape then when I left for my trip, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Sarah and her family swap with you.
Much peace and Happy Travels.

I am usually a solo traveler, with the potential for one more. I just completed a successful swap in Amsterdam and I am looking forward to my next experience in another country or West coast.
