Very Hospitable
Doug and Dabba were very welcoming and responsive. The place is very cute and met all our needs. While the bed is less firm than we are used to, we found it surprisingly comfortable; the pillows are excellent!

a just right stay for us
This was the just right stay for us as we attended a wedding in the area. Douglas was very easy to communicate with through out as well as being generously accommodating of our desire to alter our plans by a day as possibilities of Hurricane Lee approached. Thank you!

Girls’ weekend
Four of us stayed here comfortably. We loved the “slumber party” atmosphere with having one open room. The place was decorated well and clean. It is very private, even though the host lives next door in the main house. The hosts gave fantastic advice for where to eat, what beaches to go to and what to explore. The location of this rental was fantastic! So peaceful and relaxing. If we are in the area again, we will stay here. Amazing!

Nice spots with the basics you need
We enjoyed our stay, things were clean, AC worked well, and the hosts gave us privacy, but also checked to make sure we had everything we needed. To stream stuff they have an apple tv, so if you don’t have an iphone, you may want to consider bringing something with you if you want to watch specific things (like a fire stick or chromecast). A few reviews have mentioned allergies - we didn’t smell any smoke or have any issues there, but the house is in a woodsy setting and near the coast, so if you have allergies to that type of stuff, you may have issues - i brought extra allergy medicine with me just in case, and everything was fine. Overall, we would stay again, our dog really enjoyed smelling around the yard, and if you’re looking for a beer/wine/liquor store check out Lee’s market - we were really impressed for such a small area. Thanks for a nice dog friendly stay near Westport!

Lovely and Well-Designed Studio
Stayed August 2023 We had a wonderful stay at Doug and Dabba's place. We were concerned about staying in one room, but the studio is spacious, well-designed, and supplied with all the necessities. Doug and Dabba were wonderful hosts, who were very helpful and friendly. They respected our privacy, answered questions quickly, and were always happy to help make our stay as successful as possible. And it was. We definitely recommend this rental!

Wonderful Loft, Cute Area
My husband and I booked this place as a stop on our way home from Maine. We were interested in stopping in Newport and this place seemed quiet and convenient. Immediately after booking we received a message from Doug and Dabba, they were wonderful and welcoming right from the start. We brought our dog with us and the place was perfect. It was a great size, lots of room for everything. The kitchen area was well stocked, we cooked several meals and ate at the great kitchen table. Doug and Dabba were amazing hosts and even offered us lots of great suggestions about things to do with our dog, some even became highlights of our trip. We were all very sad to leave, especially our dog!! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area!

Just as advertised
We spent 2 nights here with our dog and chose it mainly with him in mind; very dog friendly. We booked the property as a central spot for the area trails we hiked and for a part of RI we had never been to. The road is very quiet/little traffic so very safe to take walks on. Lots of windows made for nice breeze through room and kept it cool. And even though this is a non-smoking property, there was a cigarette smoke smell when we first arrived but with windows open it quickly cleared. Property was very clean and even though the owners were around, we were given our space. We enjoyed chatting with Doug about the places we had visited and he gave us a brief rundown about Little Compton. Our dog loved meeting him too! Very limited pantry items, but we brought already-made salads, deli meat, etc so I didn’t have to rely on ingredients. However, the owners would have supplied anything we would have needed. The only suggestion we would have would be to put the mini fridge on a table/platform to lift it higher. Guests of our age or older may have a hard time accessing it while on floor. Overall, the loft is as advertised.

Wonderful week at charming Studio accommodations
I rented this Studio for our daughter and 8 year old twins for a week. They loved it! The large open room is very well appointed with comfortable furniture and beds. The decor is eye catching, especially the indoor hammock. The setting is private with a lovely porch that looks out to a landscaped lawn and woodland beyond. We are so pleased with this precious place that we plan to rent again this Summer. Thank you so much Dabba & Doug!

Cozy getaway in the sweetest spot in RI
We loved our stay in Doug & Dabba’s loft. They were kind hosts who inquired about our health (since we arrived with bad colds), offered us tea, honey, and Kleenex, and thoughtfully inquired if we were napping so as not to make noise! We had a wonderful stay in their well appointed over-the-garage apartment and were lucky enough to hang out with them on the porch for some wonderful conversation. They are lovely hosts and we plan to return as soon as we can! The apartment had everything we needed Including Apple TV, Netflix, and a very comfy bed. We’ve been visiting Little Compton for years and this is one of the best places we’ve stayed. Thank you D & D for a wonderful time!

Very large, charming, comfortable studio
The space is one big room, very well-designed, so that it has everything you need but feels spacious and comfortable. The hosts include quality soaps, snacks, maps, local guides, and basic kitchen staples (coffee, tea, oil, salt and pepper, a few spices). It is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood 5 minutes from the town center and five minutes from the beach. Doug and Dabba were excellent hosts, warm and very helpful. We will be back!

Completely relaxing family environment for our little crew. Doug and Dabba were exceptionally inviting and accommodating.

Wonderful mini-break
We had a really pleasant mini vacation here. We were greeted warmly by the hosts and check in was super easy. A flight of stairs takes you to a very private apartment that is spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean with views of treetops everywhere. The setting is very peaceful, safe & beautiful and we enjoyed sitting in the large backyard, as well as using the outdoor shower which was refreshing after a day at the nearby beach. Pretty shops, cafes and back roads really make us want to return again! Our family of 3 (plus dog) slept and relaxed very comfortably.
