My wife and I know Wakefield, having grown up in R.I.; it's a charming town itself, and close to the best R.I. beaches and Atlantic Coast attractions, like great seafood. So on a recent trip back to R.I., we decided to stay in Wakefield, and found "Hope Hideaway." It turned out to be perfect in many ways. The house itself is small but fully equipped and inviting - downstairs are a pleasant living and dining space connected by a service bar to a full and modern kitchen. There was a hummingbird who came every day to the flowering tree outside the kitchen window. All was well furnished and comfortable, including A/C's (not that common in New England, but increasingly necessary in summer). There's also a lovely porch to sit outside and just relax - a great stress antidote. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath - the master bedroom had a memory foam bed that made for great sleep after active days. As was described, the location is on a quiet side street just a few blocks from Wakefield's Main Street. At the intersection with Main St. is Stedman's Bicycles, where you can rent bikes; a couple of blocks along Main Street you can pick up the bike trail, leading east about 3 miles to Narragansett and its public beach, and north about 5 miles to Kingston, with its antique (but Amtrak-active) rail station and the Univ. of R.I. A few more blocks along Main and you're walking by the shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlor of Wakefield. We totally enjoyed our stay - we could take advantage of Wakefield's charms, the beaches and activities, and then relax quietly in this comfortable, pleasant, and well-maintained house. A good stay.
