What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 154 guest reviews
Narragansett House earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment driven by exceptionally warm, proactive staff — particularly Omar — and a prime, quiet location steps from Oak Bluffs' main street, beaches, and ferry. Breakfast and afternoon treats (charcuterie, baked goods) are a consistent highlight. The main caveats are practical: the historic building's steep, narrow stairs make luggage handling tricky, rooms are compact with limited storage, and a handful of guests found the beds too soft or small.
