Welcome to Aquidneck Cottage! Relax in our charming 3BR retreat, just a short walk to Island Park beach. This sun-drenched cottage features an open layout & well appointed kitchen, perfect for families or friends to unwind together. Explore the stunning Newport & Bristol coastline before returning to the comforts of the cottage including water views, fireplace, and a private backyard. Perfectly located near beaches, vineyards, breweries, shopping, golf courses, colleges, wedding venues, & more

The space
Rest and relax in our newly remodeled cottage (approx 1050sq ft). Our home is tastefully decorated and drenched with warm sunlight streaming in from the skylights and the full ceiling-to-floor windows. Enjoy your morning coffee from the front sitting area or curl up on the couch in the winter with a blanket and a book by the fireplace as you overlook the water views of the Sakonnet River.

There are several restaurants located nearby. However, if you prefer to have a home-cooked meal with the family, you'll find a dining table in the main living area with an open concept to the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with all you will need to cook from the comforts of home. Feel free to pack light and don't be afraid to let the kids get dirty at the beach or the Island Park playground since you will have access to a washer and dryer, iron, ironing board, and detergent.

After a long day on the beach or exploring the nearby-by towns, settle into one of the 3 private bedrooms for a sound sleep in the comfort of crisp linens, cooling pillows, and air conditioning. You'll love the sea breeze through the open windows, the air conditioning on hot summer nights, or a glass of wine as you sit by the fire pit on the backyard patio. A beach wagon, chairs, toys, and towels are conveniently stored in the garage to make packing for the beach effortless and enjoyable.

Have a little work to do during your stay? There is a workspace in one of the bedrooms where you can work privately and then get right back to the family fun. We sprinkled in a few extras including books, coffee/tea station, cooking spices, and board and yard games to name a few.
