3 Amazing Airbnbs In RI You'll Want To Add To Your Staycation Wish List
The guys who started Airbnb got the idea after putting a bunch of people who traveling to their city or a tech conference up at their apartment. (We know this from binge listening to the podcast How I Built This that just so happens to feature some of the most high profile companies and entrepreneurs of the last few decades. What an earful!)
The accomodation options these days, however, have gone above and beyond an air mattress in the corner of someone’s living room and a brekkie bowl of cold cereal (unless, of course, that’s your ideal when it comes to traveling…).
Now, after also being approached by several Airbnb hosts in the New England area about staying at and blogging about their abodes, we decided to scope out what Rhode Island has to offer in the way of unique and noteworthy accomodations. These three were standouts for sure, so get ready to add them to your staycation wish list.
Take Time To Coast
Remember that part in Failure to Launch when Matt McConaughey’s Tripp invites Sarah Jessica Parker’s Paula to lunch on his boat?
