Gorgeous space in a beautiful little town!

Betsy was the best host we have ever had. My one year old great niece was with us and Betsy helped me 'baby proof' the stairway with a gate. Also, she provided a high chair and pack and play. Moreover, she was leaving for the weekend so she gave us pizza and wine to enjoy as we were unpacking. Her condo is full of beautiful artwork and very clean! Jamestown is beautiful and you can walk wherever you need to go. I highly recommend!

Dreamy stay

The waves of Jamestown is nothing short of 5 stars. Betsy is a phenomenal host and her place is beautiful and clean. She gave us a warm welcome and was very attentive throughout the duration of our stay. We enjoyed taking her little red wagon on walks to the beach, park, grocery market, and to a local pizzeria. She gave us excellent recommendations for local eateries and places to explore. With a toddler and a newborn we are a bit noisy and Betsy did not complain once. She was both gracious and generous with us. She even let my daughter feed her koi fish! I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Very nice host and location.

This property is located in a cute and very quiet neighborhood. A little beach is just down the road and there is also a small grocery store nearby. It will be helpful for you to know that the access to this apartment is up a long indoor staircase to the 2nd floor above the garage. We loved the antique wood furniture which is simply gorgeous and the beach/nautical decor is a delight. The host is also an artist and you will enjoy her paintings which adorn the walls...so beautiful. Since this apartment is attached to the main house, you will sometimes hear the owners on the other side of the wall, walking about and opening and closing doors. If you retire late and are up early, this should not be a problem for you--including the garage door noise--which all of this is minor. It is a spacious home, the beds are comfortable, the host is very kind, and the kitchen is nice. The kitchen is fully stocked with every type of cookware, bakeware, dishes, glassware, and flatware you need. If there were improvements we could kindly suggest, it would be with Spring cleaning the baseboards and steam cleaning the red loveseat upholstery (or getting a new loveseat cover), and getting new cushions for the bar stools. Also, upgrading some of the bedding (blankets), and upgrading some of kitchen skillets and cooking utensils would be a nice touch. Should you have any issues during your stay, the host is very responsive to correct your situation. She is gracious and we appreciated the hospitality.

What a gem!

We had an amazing stay at the Waves Carriage house! I was there with my husband and daughters (ages 3 and 11 months) and the house was perfect for us. It's beautiful, clean, full of all amenities you could need, and the view and sunsets were gorgeous. Betsy even had a highchair for us! The location could not be better. We were able to walk to downtown, restaurants, the beach, the harbor, and even the playground. And Betsy could not have been a better host. She was so helpful, accommodating, and friendly. I will definitely stay here again!

A wonderful and well-appointed respite!

My daughter and I had a lovely time in Jamestown and it was highlighted by the beautiful home Betsy has created and maintained. It was the best appointed rental we’ve ever stayed in. Plenty of kitchen supplies and laundry supplies, beach chairs and not to mention a giant blueberry bush (which was in season) and we were encouraged to pick from! Betsy’s hospitality was perfect. Completely responsive and friendly! I can’t recommend enough and we hope to be back!

Perfect stay to enjoy the beauty of several areas of Rhode Island

I love Newport RI, but I am very glad while searching for a place to stay that this rental caught my eye. Jamestown is a great little island itself to enjoy picturesque views by the water, and the location is great; cross one bridge to enjoy all Newport has to offer, cross another to enjoy Narragansett. We were so pleased when we walked into this home, it was tastefully decorated, clean, welcoming! I was amazed by all the amenities supplied by the homeowner! The home is just half a mile from a choice of restaurants and a convenience store and also just about 3 miles from Rt 138. My friends and I agree we would all return to this fabulous rental! Thank you for the stay!

Birthday fun

We had a great time during our long weekend in Jamestown with our 4 year old son for his birthday. We took the high speed ferry to Block Island (it was a thrill ride due to windy conditions, queasy should avoid and take the regular ferry) for tandem bike riding (oh the hills!), enjoyed the lawn at the Breakers in Newport and spent evenings at the wonderful playground in Jamestown. Jamestown is a very special place. I'm so glad we had the chance to experience it and the lodgings were perfect for our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Gooding

Host profile image
Betsy built The Waves with a flexible layout in order to welcome guests the year around while enjoying travel of her own. She is rooted in the community and happy to steer guests to local sailing, kayaking, tennis, golf, beaches, galleries, restaurants, Newport mansions, nearby islands, and hidden gems.

Why they chose this property

Jamestown offers unsurpassed quality of life that combines small town ambience, scenic beauty and numerous enrichment activities for children. We incorporated a separate guest wing when we we built in 2010 because we love to entertain and to welcome guests to Jamestown. Location is 3 blocks from Mackerel Cove beach, on a quiet street.

What makes this property unique

Jamestown is unique on the Eastern Seaboard because of its incomparable beauty, rural character, working farms, multiple access points to Narragansett Bay, and relaxed atmosphere. As year-round residents, we enjoy walking access to fine restaurants, marinas, galleries, churches, hiking trails, town offices, an excellent public library, recreation center and business district. Newport is just 10 minutes away by car; the Jamestown Ferry is a fun way to access downtown Newport and Rose Island in summer. Jamestown offers easy access to major metropolitan areas via Route 95 and T.F. Green Airport.
