Newly renovated studio apartment located in the heart of historic Kingston Village, right on the University of Rhode Island's campus! Within half an hour to Rhode Island's best beaches and towns, as well as T.F. Green Airport and Providence.
The space is a recently renovated studio apartment that's located on the second floor of our garage, on the same property as our own house. We've put a lot of love into the space, so we hope you feel right at home!
The studio has a fully equipped kitchen with Nespresso machine and milk frother (cappuccinos!), oven/stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave and toaster. The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, Hearth and Hand plates and bowls, pantry basics (flour, sugar, salt, spices), and baking necessities such as a kitchen scale and mixing bowls. If you're missing anything at all, just let us know and odds are we'll have it in our own kitchen! A dining table for four makes it possible to stay in and cook on those nights you don't feel like going out for dinner.
Although the studio doesn't have separate bedrooms, it does have a very comfortable queen bed as well as a chaise sectional sofa which converts to a pull-out queen bed (each bed accommodates two people). We've done our utmost to provide the comfiest bedding possible, using organic Percale cotton sheets, linen Casaluna quilts, Serta pillows and all the extra blankets you could ever hope for.
The bathroom is newly-tiled and sparkling clean, equipped with locally-made hand soap and lotion, organic lavender shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and fluffy Parachute towels. A hair dryer, curler/straightener and clothing steamer are also provided.
The studio's workspace is set up with a desk, lamp, and plenty of Post-its. Listen to music via the Sonos One speaker, known for its rich and room-filling sound; just ask Alexa to play any song, artist or genre you can think of. The fast and reliable WiFi allows for remote working as well as a variety of streaming services which can be watched via a flat-screen TV. If you've never played a Nintendo Switch before, now is your chance! If you'd rather unplug and escape electronics altogether, we have a variety of board and card games to enjoy. We have a TON of games in our own house, so if you're looking for a specific game just let us know!
Guests will have their own patio area which is exclusively for their use during their stay here - perfect for enjoying your morning cappuccino and your evening glass of wine.
Most important of all, we are pet-friendly! We have two resident doggo's - Archie, a 2-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix with lots of puppy energy, and Toby, a senior Yorkie with lots of Grandpa energy. We also foster puppies and adult dogs, so you never know who else you might run into while staying with us! We have built a fence between your guest patio and our own backyard, so that you (and your own dog) won't be bothered during your stay.
Guest access
Guests will have their own patio with bistro set and chairs.
We would like to keep our backyard a private space, but the campus we are located on is a great place for dog walks and there are walking trails nearby, including the wonderful South County Bike Path.
