The property was phenomenal. Very clean and well stocked with linens. We had plenty of room and the added bonus room was awesome. Everything we needed for a beach trip was there as well. The response of the booking agent was quick and helpful. Highly recommend this property!
Excellent spot to gather a large group and not feel like sardines. Plenty of everything and very comfortable - bonus game room lounge for the kids and everything you need within walking distance or 2 minute drive.
We stayed at this property over the weekend to celebrate our daughter‘s graduation from URI. It was wonderful to have a place for our whole family to stay. The rooms were very nice. The bathrooms were clean. The whole place was clean and very nice accommodations for a large group there was two dining room tables a big bar with barstools Highly recommend.
Beautiful home lots of functional space for eight different couples fun space for games. We had a catered dinner, which worked out really nice in the space. Wonderful host. Highly recommend.
The property was clean, easy to find, and access. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked to handle all the cooking we did and there was plenty of space for everyone. It was a wonderful home and we were elated to be able to gather our friends and celebrate the completion of our 20s
Wonderful, well-situated gathering place with all the amenities for a large family to celebrate. Small and large spaces for everyone's needs. Outdoor space and extra carriage house a plus!
All 19 of us had a wonderful time at this house. The house was very clean, Robin was very responsive and addressed any concerns quickly. The location was great and we would love to stay there again.
We had an excellent stay at The Wakefield!! We had 16 adults and 5 toddlers fly in from 5 different states for a family reunion and the house was exactly as explained online. The property manager was exceptional at responding to questions. All the beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and beach towels and chairs for all. We catered in most of our food from a local vendor which was fantastic.
We had 20 people stay for our wedding and it was awesome. The house is super spacious for getting ready in the morning. We even did our first look on the front porch. I recommend bringing a pillow if you are picky about them. Overall it was a wonderful property.
We had a great time at The Wakefield! The house had a great amount of space for our entire family and the carriage house was perfect for a quiet spot. The kitchen is fully stocked with all types of kitchen appliances and the double washer and dryers came in handy while traveling with children. Having the town within walking distance was wonderful. There are plenty of restaurants and even a grocery store a few blocks away. Our entire family had a great time!
We were pleasantly pleased with every aspect of The Wakefield. It was clean and well stocked with staples. We were within walking distance from the center of town and a few minutes drive to the beach. Our age group was from 7 years old to 83 years old. Everyone had a wonderful time.
We highly recommend this home for you vacation destination.
We were a group of ladies that had an amazing stay in this beautiful home. The well stocked kitchen and living room are spacious. There are so many places to sit and hang out which made it a perfect rental home for our group. The beds are comfortable and bedrooms are all as pictured. It was a short ride to Point Judith for the Block Island Ferry and a pretty ride to Newport. Robin was a great communicator. I highly recommend this home, it is fabulous!
We stayed there for my daughter’s graduation from URI. There were 10 of us and the place was so spacious and extremely well appointed. Anything you could need was there.
The weather wasn’t great, but we had plenty of room inside. Wish we could have used the outdoor space more. The carriage House game room was awesome. If we ever have another big group to go down that area, we will definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed "The Wakefield' for a long Thanksgiving weekend. The first floor has an open concept living room, dining room, kitchen, a spacious area for all to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable. We went on some lovely hikes and enjoyed a wonderful restaurant down the road. We played bocce outside on the narrow strips of grass that surround the house. We also enjoyed a couple games of pool in the attached spacious carriage house. A wonderful spot!
The house is in a perfect location, just off Main Street in Wakefield. Easy walk to dinner, ice cream, shopping, and entertainment. The house is spacious and has laundry on both the first and second floors. Ample parking even though we only had 5 cars, there was enough room for at least 3 more. The beaches are close but so is Newport, Providence, and Mystic. More than enough room for our young adults to hang out and play pool or foosball in the carriage house while the “old” folks hang out playing cards and board games in the main house. Just the perfect vacation spot for a large extended family.
I stayed at this property with a group of 14 for a girls weekend in April 2024. The house is beautiful, and the open concept kitchen/dining/living room was great for a large group to hang out. Plenty of space for 14 to sleep comfortably. The carriage house is a fun bonus. My only (small) complaint is that most of the bedrooms didn't have curtains, so they get a little bright in the morning. Still, we had a great time, and I would definitely rent again or recommend to another large group!
We had 12-18 adults staying in the house for 4 days. Plenty of space to spread out and ample hot water.
Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. We cooked most meals at house.
Great location and close to restaurants in Wakefield, close to beach and bike trails.
Lots of parking for 6-7 cars.
Nice front porch for having coffee in the morning.
Lots of towels for showers and beach towels too.
I highly recommend this house and the host was super responsive on all questions.
We saved thousands of $$ vs renting 10 hotel rooms.

Good but needs work
We were here for a pre wedding celebration and it was overall what was pictured. There was some issues where not everyone had a bed though the vrbo listing said it would sleep all of our guests, this was not the case.
The largest issue was the leaking pipes through the ceiling causing our party of 19 to be out 2 bathrooms and showers leaving everyone with one shower to use, the bride and grooms. I am hoping to hear back from the host for a partial/full refund as this did cause a lot of inconvenience and fear for safety during our trip.
Besides those 2 elements, it was a good experience had by all!
