About this property

NO WEDDINGS, NO PARTIES, NO PETS, NO SMOKERS or VAPORS!
NO EXCEPTIONS! (Thanks!)
At the end of a private lane sits a perfect three season cottage right on Sakonnet Harbor in Little Compton, RI. Sit on the porch or in the Adirondack chairs on your PRIVATE front lawn and watch close-up the comings and goings of fishing boats and pleasure craft. Looking west towards the Newport mansions across the mouth of the Sakonnet River enjoy magnificent sunsets from the waterside porch or enclosed sun room. Just steps from water's edge!

A large side yard provides plenty of space for games such as volleyball or and evening cookout with friends and family. The rocks in front are a great place to dive off into the water and an easy place to put in kayaks. When you are done swimming you can rinse off in the outdoor shower!

Inside this two story shingled bungalow are four bedrooms and two full baths. There is a good sized living room with a native stone fireplace plus dining room and an extra den/playroom with TV. The house is heated for the shoulder seasons but not insulated. There is baseboard heating in all rooms. Unsurpassed views from almost every room in the house.

A short less-than-a mile walk or bike ride takes you to two different beaches, Lloyds near the landmark Sakonnet Lighthouse and Tappans at the end of scenic Round Pond. Also, a short walk to the Stone House Inn and Spa, Sakonnet Yacht Club and Sakonnet Golf Club.

The house is at the end of a quiet private lane, approximately 3 miles from the picturesque town of Little Compton where you can get groceries at Wilbur's General Store, a meal at the Commons Lunch, pizza at A-1, beverages at Meeting House Spirits or, a cup of coffee at the Art Cafe.

This quintessential waterfront cottage is a truly unique property - are you ready to fall in love!

Close Escape

It was a perfect getaway from the city! So close to Providence. So to go back&forth to Capucine, my shop in Providence. And the most incredible thing happened. The Friday before I checked in my host's sister-in-law walked into my shop & gave me great suggestions in area.

Uniquely beautiful property!

What a wonderful place! The house is charming, with lots of vintage features that are all too often "updated" or lost to disrepair. It's been carefully maintained and is clean, spacious and altogether delightful! The views are second to none, and the outdoor gathering spaces for lawn games, al fresco dining, or just relaxing and chatting while watching the boat traffic in the Sakonnet harbor are numerous and beautiful. We came for a long weekend of family time with young adult and teenaged kids and loved every minute.

Unlimited charm

My family and I cannot say enough good things about our stay. From the moment we turned into the drive, till we stepped in the house, till we saw the view, our mouths were wide open. The house was so comfy and well decorated. The views are second to none, the sunsets are amazing. Little Compton was so peaceful and nice. The owners are so very nice and communicated so well. We will absolutely be back.

Restful and Relaxing

From the moment we walked into the house, I knew we found the spot for a restful and relaxing stay. Perfectly situated on the water with views of the harbor provided a most serene setting. The amazing sunrises and sunsets punctuated the days-heavenly. The home’s layout afforded more than ample space for reading and relaxing while other family members were otherwise engaged. The side sun room was a favorite refuge as well the other open porches. Lastly, the location was a perfect jumping off point to surrounding areas of interest, including beaches and walking trails. So grateful we could rent your lovely oasis and take in the overall beauty of Little Compton during our week’s stay.

Quaint and charming town.

A beautiful property in a very remote location reminiscent of our childhood, with a general store downtown surrounded by farmland, and quaint houses. If you are looking for a quiet respite, a place to read a book and just reflect on life, then this is for you. Very clean and charming decor. The location and views are priceless.

Spectacular Vacation Home

We celebrated my parents 40th anniversary at this home and had the most spectacular weekend. The home was clean and spacious. The variety of rooms and porches made the home feel so large and open. We loved having coffee on the porch overlooking the harbor. We cant wait to book our next trip here again. Kristen was extremely attentive and generous. Thank you so much!

Second time enjoying this charming and beautifully situated special house and property. It has everything for a great get-away. It's obvious it's a well-loved cottage and the owners provide abundant dishes and pots and sports equipment and beach equipment and a wonderful outdoor shower and so much more.

Beautiful area and very comfortable house

We really enjoyed our stay! The house has everything you need, and the views and property are fantastic. We were here for our son's wedding, and the privacy of the 4 bedrooms let us have family and friends stay with us, which was very convenient. A wonderful experience! Only regret is that we did not have time to use the kayaks. Maybe next time.

Idyllic

This is a charming cottage in a marvelous setting, overlooking a little harbor, that is much more spacious inside than it seems from the outside, with sunroom, parlors, porches lots of bedrooms, and a little deck. And the outside - an extensive lawn rolling down to the water. The perfect tranquil place to relax, read, walk to a stunning set of beaches, and watch the sunset in cocktail hour. We spoke to the owner by phone several times, and she was delightful. The entire peninsula is stunning, if you like exquisite architecture, tiny towns with a long history, farmland, and minimal development.
