About this property

This 375 square foot deck is great for sun bathing, reading and relaxing on the lounge furniture and for evening dining and cocktails!

The sprawling beachfront offers an abundance of sea glass and beautiful shells to add to your collection. Being so close to the water's edge, you can truly enjoy the wild life on the river. You will frequently see ducks, herons and the occasional swan!

Painted wood walls, vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams promote a cozy cottage atmosphere. The new furnishings and white color palate provides a 'barefoot elegance' that will allow you to unwind in a comfortable yet sophisticated space.

Cook a delicious meal in the newly appointed custom kitchen. Designed with stainless steel appliances, farmers sink and convenient island to feel like your home away from home when preparing a family meal or dinner for two.

The open floor plan allows for entertaining and fun family meals. Guests can comfortably lounge in the living room, dine at the banquette or cuddle up on the couch to watch a surround sound movie on the 65 inch flat screen TV.

There are (2) bedrooms located off of the main living area. Bedroom (1) has a king size bed, walk-in closet, laundry and great morning and afternoon sunlight. Bedroom (2) has a queen size bed with amazing southern water views, a chair for lounging and a cabinet for clothing storage. All bedding is provided and is luxury hotel quality.

Awesome little cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Fairview Cottage. The place was comfortable and well maintained. It was well stocked with toilet paper and paper towels/cleaning stuff (which we find some vacation rentals stingy with) and even had things like bug spray and creamer. It's walkable (albeit, up a big hill) to a bus stop that could take you into Newport - assuming the bus was on schedule, which, as it turns out, is not quite reliable, but an Uber ride is only about $25 and Uber is pretty easy to get there. Also walking distance (still up the big hill) is a fresh local produce market, an Italian gourmet grocer, and a wine/spirits store. The local burrata that came from the produce market was some of the best we've ever had and we left behind an almost full bottle of some fantastic balsamic we bought from the Italian market, so enjoy! The description for the cottage claims 800ish sq/ft, but we were really skeptical about the accuracy of this - the space felt more then ample for 2 of us and was smartly used. Our only complaint is that the wifi didn't reach the couch outside well and our reception (AT&T) wasn't great either, but one might claim we shouldn't need internet while out with that magnificent view anyway.

Great Property and Location!

We three (retired couple and adult daughter) had a fabulous stay at Fairview Cottage! The layout is perfect, showcasing a stunning view of the Sakonnet River. We spent many an evening on the deck enjoying the breeze and scenery. The cottage is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood while Newport and it’s busyness is close enough to enjoy thoroughly. The cottage has everything you need, and the interior design is bright and delightful with an extremely thoughtful layout. We can’t wait to come back!

Cozy and beautiful little cottage!

This was one, if not the, best property I have ever stayed at. It was bright, clean and cozy with perfect coastal decor. The deck was great for evening drinks and dinner at the picnic table. The sounds of the water hitting the shore is therapeutic and lovely. There is a large dining table complete with cushioned benches and classic wicker chairs. The neighborhood is quiet and remarkably well manicured. I didn’t want to leave! Ps the outdoor shower with warm water is heavenly!

Excellent property

Fairview Cottage was a beautiful location for our 4 days in the Newport area. The view was unbeatable! The cottage was clean, cozy and the perfect location for visiting Newport which was about 15-20 minutes away by car. The extra touches like the fresh flowers, chocolates on the bed and the personal message on the chalkboard made us feel very welcome. Being able to walk a few steps down to the beach to enjoy the sound of the water and to search for sea glass was good for the soul. Ryan was excellent to work with! We can’t wait to return next year! We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Perfect Getaway As a New Family of 4

The property was so wonderful, and there were little touches from the owners that made it just that much more special. We didn't even make it to any other beaches because our toddler was enamored with the rock beach, but the surrounding area is adorable. So happy with this rental!

Superb!

This is a piece of heaven here on earth! I loved dropping my kayaking in the lovely Sakonnet River right from the back yard. The deck and waterfront views from the moment you step foot in this gorgeous cottage are what really make this place. That, plus the thoughtfully designed renovation. It's a place and space truly conducive to R&R. We'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

Having both grown up spending summers on the water in New England, my husband and I shared the dream of one day living on the beach.... That way we would NEVER have to leave!

My husband owns and operates a boutique architectural firm specializing in the design of coastal New England homes. We agreed when renovating, to keep the coastal cottage charm alive, yet we wanted to update the space with the modern day amenities that make life a bit more comfortable. These included vaulted ceilings to make the space feel larger, a flat-screen TV, internet and cable, heat, air-conditioning, stainless steel appliances and a large deck overlooking the water. We wanted it to feel casual and relaxed but bright and sophisticated. A space that while amazing as a summer cottage would be enjoyable all year round. A home where our family, and other families could retreat for rest, relaxation and fun!

Why they chose this property

In 2011, shortly after we were married, we fell in love with this property. Built in the 1940’s, this summer cottage was previously owned by a family who spent every summer here together. When we purchased the property, the family shared great stories and memories that were created here, and we were truly inspired to make this a special place of our own.
