MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2009

Two days into our two week stay at this home, my wife said she'd return to this home any time, whenever I want! It was cozy, clean, quiet, and well appointed. We became completely absorbed in daily swims at the beach, walking around the Black Point trail (about 40 minutes' circuit from Walcott Ave), and enjoying key lime pies from nearby Aunt Carrie's. The area attractions that most captured us were artist Gilbert Stuart's birthplace, Block Island, Mystic Seaport, the Hereshoff Museum in Bristol, a lecture on Klimt at RISD in Providence, and an old stone tower (? antedating Columbus' arrival) in Touro Park, Newport. Plus the deer, rabbits, ospreys, goldfinches, and tanagers.

This property was perfect. The house was spotless and had all the comforts of home. We loved the outside shower and the beautiful deck. We used the grill frequently for barbeques and quick meals.
The bedrooms were comfortable and large. My kids brought their computers and the wireless access allowed them to talk to their friends back home.
We spent a day in nearby Newport - which was a great place to see and the one rainy day we drove into Providence and spent the day at the mall - Providence Place - a teenagers paradis!
Judy was a great renter. She quickly answered all my questions and was frequenly in contact with me about deadlines. We can't wait to go back again next year!

Thanks for a terrific family vacation!

Lucky Break is a great place to stay. Very clean and very comfortable. It is a very short walk to Scarborough beach and also a nice bike ride to the Block Island ferry. All the pictures you see on the web site are what the house looks like and the Marusa's are great homeowners and very easy to contact with great communication if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to my next vacation at Lucky Break next July. Also, if you stay in the washer/dryer BR you can hear the waves at the beach at nite and that makes the stay that much more relaxing!!

The Lucky Break is an incredible beach cottage. We've rented houses in RI many times but this was the first time that the interior of the house looked exactly like the photographs! We couldn't have been happier. Bright, clean and comfortable as well as a great location put the Lucky Break at the top of our list of places to stay in Rhode Island!

We have stayed at the Lucky Break for 2 years in a row now and have already rented it for next year. It is one of the cleanest places that we have ever stayed in. We enjoy the spacious living areas and the deck in the back of the house. It is well supplied with everything you need . We cannot wait to go back next summer. Having the beach so close is a real plus.

This was definitely a Lucky Break to have found such a wonderful Home away from Home for out vacation in August 06... clean, comfy, cute, relaxing, great location... beautiful from top to bottom. Especially loved taking an outdoor shower late afternoon, with the sun shining on my shoulders... what a dream house... has everything you need, spacious, great couches and beds... don't pass the chance to stay at this "Lucky Break".

My family and I stayed at "Lucky Break" the last week of July 2006. We had a great time. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was walking distance from the beach, which is great. The surroundings were relaxing.

This was our first visit to Rhode Island & our first stay at the "Lucky Break". I must say both were a complete success! This home had everything my family & their friends could ask for. It is spacious, clean and very comfortable. In one short week my family & I beached (a mere one block walk from the house), biked (so much to see so little time), shopped (even in the fog Newport was fantastic & took only 30 minutes to get there), sailed (who knew the Block Island Ferry was so close) and feasted (yep, a lobster dinner cooked right at the "Lucky Break" & enjoyed on the comfortable back deck on a beautiful summer evening!) From the location of this home right down to the lobster pot in the kitchen, this home truly became our "Lucky Break"!
