South Kingstown Carpenter's Grist Mill Hotels

"OMG what an amazing house!! So as you pull down the right side of the driveway all you see is beach and the house. And that’s just the beginning. When you walk up the stairs to the deck you realize the pictures do not even come close to the gorgeous views. The deck runs the length of the whole house and there is a sitting area at the far end. There are plenty of chairs along the way to sit and relax plus several loungers and then when you hit the corner of the house there is a sectional sofa. When you walk in the front door it’s right into a fully equipped kitchen with seating for four at the island and six at the nearby table. So yes the place has AC but you don’t need it. There is “old fashion” AC at each of the doors….a rock to place at the door after you open the door. And once you open all the doors and use the rocks you’ll get the most amazing ocean breeze to keep the place cool. And we were there a couple of weeks ago when there was a severe heat index warning but it was always cool in the house. There’s a dining room for 6 more people and a wet bar/butlers kitchen that leads into the family room. Upstairs there were four bedrooms two of which had a balcony and chairs. More than enough bathrooms and don’t forget the outdoor shower under the house. Full sized washer and dryer for you to keep the swim suits fresh. The managers were proactive in communication and when we had a question they responded pretty much immediately. Do not even hesitate to stay!!"

"This property is in a great location with all the amenities needed for a great vacation! Thank you!,"

"Had a great couple days for a lacrosse tournament- just myself and one of my sons. Walked the beach to cool off at night- house was perfect. It is small, clean and perfectly located.Owners were incredibly communicative and helpful! "

"Very clean, comfortable home"

"We enjoyed our stay 100%. The house was just right for our family of 7 - comfortable, well equipped and in a great location. We loved being on the pond and we will hopefully return. The host was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the home."

"The house was very clean, and a great location. 20 minutes to the Block Island Ferry and a short walk to the beach!"

"What a unique location! Henry has done an amazing job of creating this wonderful habitat for lavender to grow, but also has livestock! We were constantly watching nature at work and taking in the beautiful sounds all around us. And Lauren the chef, who we hired for hubby’s bday dinner, was lovely, fun, and cooked an amazing 3 course meal with lavender. We had a terrific, relaxing time and look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

"Love the view! Open kitchen, dining, and living area great for together time. Dock was a nice short walk and viewing area of the pond with the grandchildren (love those cormorants!} Canoe and kayaks appreciated and another asset. The nearby playground was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed by our four grandchildren. Great week, great spot, nice house:} One wish is that we felt safer on outside deck with little ones... the deck is such an asset to the house but the gap near bottom of railing with toddlers limited our use of it. If you don't have toddlers then it is fantastic place to eat and hang out. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and many beautiful memories:}"
