Charming Charleston Guesthouse!
My husband, parents, two dogs and I stayed for two nights in Melissa and Eric’s Nest, and enjoyed every second. The space was spotless and spacious and the kitchen well-stocked. While the main house is close to the guesthouse, we had absolute privacy and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Melissa and Eric were very responsive and kind hosts, and even left us a welcome basket with water and snacks! We had a great lunch at Matunuck Oyster House (highly recommend!) and enjoyed checking out the small beach towns nearby.

Cozy stay
We had a wonderful stay in Rhode island! The hosts were wonderful! Easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to provide amenities for us to make the stay even more comfortable! The space is more open than it even looks in the pictures, and my family of four (children 7 and a year and a half) and our dog had more than enough room. Our plans were diverted due to the weather but we made it worth while and the house was very comfortable spending more time in it than anticipated, playing games as a family and hanging out. Would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful and welcoming.
The Nest is located in a lovely part of Charlestown and has easy access to many of the popular sites (Narragansett, Newport, Kingston, Mystic CT). Our hosts, Melissa and Eric, were welcoming, checking in with us periodically to ensure we had everything we needed. The apartment is beautiful, welcoming, and a restorative place. There was not a single amenty that wasn’t intentionally considered in advance. The only word that comes to mind that could capture our experience at the Nest is magical. Don’t hesitate to book the Nest for your stay in south county. You won’t regret it!
