Spectacular View from Charming Waterfront Cottage on Fogland Point

Charming four season cottage in a spectacular location on Fogland Point. Large wraparound deck faces the Sakonnet River and features a gorgeous panoramic ocean view. We particularly enjoy cocktails on the deck or sitting around the fire pit at sunset. The sunsets on Fogland Point are unusually gorgeous.

The front yard leads to private rocky beach great for swimming, fishing, kayaking, shell collecting and exploring the water's edge. Located a short five minute walk from the town swimming beach (lifeguard on duty seasonally) and boat launch. Fogland Point is an ideal location for kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and is one of the best windsurfing and kiting locations in New England.

This two bedroom cottage has a queen sized bed in the master bedroom, a set of bunk beds and a single bed in the child-friendly second bedroom, and a futon couch in the closed-in porch (where you can hear the sound of the water at night). The house is fully winterized with the exception of the closed-in porch. Maximum of six guests when porch is usable, and only four during the cold months.

The house is equipped with wi fi, smart TV, DVD player and a bluetooth/mp3 player. Though the kitchen is small, it is fully equipped with microwave, coffee maker, blender, mixer, baking pans, etc. A front-loading stackable washer/dryer is located in the bathroom. All linens are provided.

The house is very kid-friendly and comes with beach toys, books, a few videos and a lot of games for family evenings or the occasional rainy day. The closed-in porch, complete with lobster lights, is great for enjoying sunsets and quiet evenings with the sounds of waves lapping on the rocky beach below.

Sadly our cottage is not animal-friendly. We use the cottage ourselves several weeks per year, and one of our daughters has a severe allergy to dogs. Therefore, the cottage is strictly an animal-free zone in order to protect the well being of our daughter.

The cottage is located less than 10 minutes from Gray's Ice Cream, frequently rated best ice cream in RI. Besides Gray's there are other businesses worth exploring in historic Tiverton Four Corners, including several antique shops and galleries, a toy store, gift and home decor shops, designer clothing shops, cheese and pate' shop, bookstore, library, restaurants and more. Tour Sakonnet Vineyards, only 10 minutes away. Downtown Newport, with its mansions, sailing, restaurants, shopping, and jazz festival is only 30 minutes away. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/27/travel/things-to-do-newport-rhode-island.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Great food abounds at local restaurants, fresh seafood markets, and country stands (in season) in both Tiverton and neighboring Little Compton. Local restaurants feature great home cooking and seafood specialties, like seafood chowder, lobster rolls, fried clams, clam cakes and homemade pies.

Water Sports:
The cottage is located a short 5 minute walk from one of the best windsurfing and kiting locations in New England. Rental equipment and private lessons are often available on the beach. According to a popular windsurfing website, "Fogland point is one of the most popular spots in the state. It is one of the windiest sites not on Cape Cod. There is a sheltered shallow cove area on the north side of the point (you can walk across except at high tide) and slightly more open sailing on the south side. Great area for all skills of sailors. The beach is nice... and not too busy. Pebbly, sandy beach, not very big waves... One of the most beautiful and scenic sailing sites also. There's a saltwater marsh, and some tidal pools with lots of sea life."

The sheltered shallow cove on the north side of Fogland Point is wonderful for stand up paddle boarding. Last summer we watched a SUP yoga class moored out in the cove.

Our daughters have loved playing around the marshes. When they were small they collected hermit crabs, as they grew they graduated to playing hide and seek in the marshes on surf boards and in kayaks.

Absolutely beautiful location with easy walking access to Fogland Beach. Very relaxing riverfront setting with plenty of room to sit outside and enjoy the river. We identified over 40 birds on the property

What a beautiful setting to relax and recharge.
We love the quiet--the water, the sunsets. Driving around to Little Compton, Tiverton, Bristol, Jamestown--there was something always to see and do. The walks we took to see the countryside and ocean views--so peaceful and quiet.

New England Getaway
We enjoyed a wonderful week vacationing in southern New England. This cottage is very romantic and cozy. The hosts were very attentive. We had a lot of privacy. It was very quiet. I think we were the only ones staying on Fogland Point the week we were there. It is so relaxing having a fire in the firepit in the evenings, listening to the waves hitting the shore, and watching the sunsets.The cottage was extremely clean. There are lots of windows and the cottage looks great with all the natural light. We were impressed with the selection of books and movies on the shelves. It was a nice touch having a vase of fresh flowers on the table when we arrived. We both felt at home in this cottage, and believe me, we rarely say that about places we stay when we are on vacation. I would also add that we traveled to Cape Cod, Newport and Mystic, Connecticut, the week we made this cottage our home base. Both Cape Cod and Mystic are about 90 minutes away. Very convenient. In closing, we highly recommend this cottage and its gracious hosts!

This cottage is in a beautiful, remote spot. While there are neighbors, it feels far from the hustle and bustle. The views and yard and deck are amazing. The house was well-equipped. We enjoyed it.

Wonderful time in a wonderful house! Our 3rd visit! Even though the sole access road was nearly impassable for most of our week, we still managed to have a fantastic stay. One of those rare gems! We have enjoyed many spectacular sunsets from the house! Great hosts, fast responses!

Heaven for us♡♡
This was our 2nd visit to Fogland Point and we have fallen in love all over again. Our daily hikes around the rocks and beaches-searching for sea glass & treasures- with crisp breezes & fresh cool air soothed our stressed out souls. Playing board games and cards, running around the yard, playing croquet & mini golf, gathering branches and making fires for s'mores was exactly what we needed. Everything we could ask for- for crazy, fun meal prep- like corned beef and cabbage, linguini & clams and hash brown casserole- ALL the tools we needed to cook up the magic were there! Comfy beds, lots of space and just a dream come true. Even fresh flowers that lasted throughout our stay- definitely, magic. We hope to return every year, forever- we love it sooooooo much!!! Thank you to our hosts!

My partner and I had a lovely stay on Fogland Point. The hosts were super responsive if we had any questions, and the property had everything we needed for a longer-than-average stay. The location was beautiful and we will miss it very much.

Great area to explore in Rhode Island!
House is very comfortable. Beach and wetlands surround. Great location for what we were looking for. Some nice walking/hiking trails in the general area. Accessible to other places in the state, like Colt State Park on the Naragannset Bay and Little Compton to the south with a great historical museum. We enjoyed the area restaurants as well. Thanks to Lynn and Glen!

Cottage with a view
This is a cozy cottage on the sakonnet river on Fogland point. It has great water views for sunset. A large deck with a hammock and chairs for relaxing and a walkway to a rocky beach perfect for your morning coffee. Plenty of dining options are within a short drive, 4 corners of Tiverton or Tiverton itself, Little Compton, Westport or even Newport. Glen was very responsive to questions and recommendations. We loved our stay.

Another Magical Stay
This property is amazing! It is sandwiched between Fogland Beach and the marsh is a few minute walk away. Tiverton is a delightful little historic town close to Newport, Providence and more. Glen and Lynn provide a well curated oasis. Everything you need to have a relaxing stay. Book this gem, just not during my week!!

Delightful Cottage by the Sea
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage by the sea! The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed from kids toys and games, to great stainless steel cookware, to the gorgeous outdoor shower and relaxing hammock under the arbor. This spot on the Sakonnet River is just magic. The sunsets are gorgeous, the rocky beach just steps from the house offers hours of exploration. Steps away is a beautiful sandy beach and marshy inlet. It is an entire ecosystem humming with beauty and life. I am hesitant to post this review because I don't want to let the secret out!

Tiverton vacation
We had a fantastic time at this lovely rental in Tiverton and definitely plan to return again in the future. The location could not be beat- our two children loved waking up each morning and running down the steps to check the tides and to play in the rock water. My husband and I enjoyed sipping our morning coffee looking over the beautiful ocean view and grilling at night with the sounds and smells of the beach. We biked the three miles it takes to get into small but quaint Tiverton- where we enjoyed Groundswell cafe, Grey's Icecream and buying a variety of delicious cheeses from the cheese shop. The farmland, stonewall and ocean landscape could not be beat and we fell in love with the area. We adventured to Newport, Green Animals topiary in Portsmouth and the winery in neighboring Little Compton. We also brought our children to play and swim on both sides of water on Fogland beach and they loved the changing tides and playing in the water as it came in and out. The house itself was clean and well appointed and just enough space for a family of four- though we lived mostly outside and on the deck. We also really enjoyed the outdoor shower! We hope to be back again next summer!

Beautiful relaxing spot
This is an adorable little cottage - clean and comfortable- with everything you need - and the setting is just beautiful. From the backyard it's so relaxing and peaceful to have a cocktail and watch the sun set over the water as rabbits graze around you and you listen to the water lapping at the shore below and a wide variety of beautiful bird calls. Morning coffee out there is great too. We spent days exploring family history sites and seeing relatives in MA and RI - but would love to go back to relax and poke around Tiverton, which is such a pretty historic little town in beautiful countryside.

Excellent location with amazing views
My wife and I truly enjoyed 28 night stay at Glen and Lynn’s cottage on the shore of Sakonnet river. Fogland point is a stretch of land very unique and well preserved from the passage of time. We experienced some good April weather and enjoyed many walks along the beach and rocky shoreline. Amazing sunrises and sunsets from the property. The cottage is well appointed will all the amenities of home. As an older couple and given the time of year we were there and length of stay, living room couch and chairs could be a little more comfortable. The bed however was extremely comfortable. We would definitely stay there again if and when back in Tiverton Ri. Thank you Glen and Lynn.

Dream come true!
I'm afraid to rate the property bc I don't want it to be booked forever & miss out on returning someday very soon. This couldn't be more perfect for my family. An absolute fit. The beach, sunset, firepit, kitchen, bedrooms, games, books, wifi & ALL of the amenities- esp the simplicity of the whole place- made it better than home. It felt like OUR true home away from home. We felt like we lived there and wanted to stay FORVER.. Cant stop thinking about the beauty, solitude, peace & happiness we had at Fogland Point. Many many thanks to our gracious hosts & we hope to return as soon as we can! Thank you so very much for giving us the very best memories!!!!!! We miss your home already!

The cottage is cute and tidy and the location cannot be beat. Kitchen is well outfitted - we cooked pies and side dishes there for a family Thanksgiving dinner in Newport.

Just as described
Great spot on the water! My kids loved the sandy beach (which we easily walked to multiple times), exploring the rocks at the house at low tide, and walking over to the marsh area. I appreciated the excellent Wi-Fi as I was easily able to keep up with my work and homework. Nothing fancy but perfect if you’re not into that anyway! Definitely recommend.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been vacationing here on Fogland Point since 1984. My wife and I spend 2-3 weeks here every summer and our twin daughters, now age 21, describe it as their favorite place in the whole world. Fogland Point is a treasure, with its 16 small cottages, private dirt road, and spectacular views in every direction.
