Guest will have access to everything in this cottage!
Our kitchen is small but very well equipped with everything you should need for cooking! A gas grill is also provided. All linens, towels, and extra blankets are provided. We get nice breezes on the river but we do provide small bedroom fans if ever needed and there are 4 ceiling fans in the house. Guests are welcome to use our kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and our 8 bikes. There is a large shed on the property for kayak and canoe paddles, life jackets, etc. Shed also has a croquet set, horseshoes, can jam, spike ball, bocce ball corn hole etc. for yard games. Beach umbrellas, cooler etc for the beach!

Many folks ask if the river is clean enough for swimming. The answer is yes, right in front of this house! We even have our own little (about 20 feet wide) beach in front of this house! Most of vacationers love to head to one of many ocean beaches, between 5 and 15 minutes away by car! Narragansett Pier Ocean is one of the top beaches in the state. There are fees for the beaches but we have tips and suggestions for our tenants.
My husband and I are both retired and live right in the neighborhood. However, we have been renting for 35 years and we pride ourselves with giving our guest complete privacy.
We leave this rental unlocked with the keys inside, awaiting your arrival. We stay out of sight after a quick hello unless we are needed. We can be helpful with telling folks about the area but we also leave a binder about restaurants and places to go inside the house.
We have found that the majority of our tenants appreciate that we are nearby for advice and peace of mind to handle any situations that may arise but rest assured; we value your privacy!

There is a small park at the top of our street that has a playground for kids and a full basketball court. Only 3 minute walk! Ocean beach at Narragansett Pier under 5 minutes by car! There are 3 hiking trails nearby that lead out to ocean and Narragansett Bay. We do ask our renters to drive 5mph at all times on our dead end street as we have several families with small children living nearby.

The house is located on the shoreline of Narrow River which is located in a valley between Rt 1 and Rt 1A. The river is the boundary line between the towns of Narragansett and South Kingstown. We have convenient shopping close by and many popular restaurants (Coast Guard House, Matunuck Oyster Bar etc.) just minutes away! Historic Wickford and Wakefield villages are also nearby and Newport and Jamestown just 20 minutes away. The active fishing village of Galilee is 15 minutes away and is where the popular Block Island ferry departs from, a must day trip during your stay!

Perfect river side cottage
This is a cozy cottage with a lot of character and gorgeous views of river with beautiful large windows. We loved spending the mornings watching the birds and the evenings on the back deck watching the boats slowly motor by. The kayaks and paddleboards were great afternoon activities. Amazing location - very short drive to several beaches and delicious restaurants We highly recommend and will definitely be booking here again in the future. Thank you for sharing your cottage with our family!

Tranquility in the middle of everything
My husband and I and our three 20-ish kids all enjoyed the cottage and being right on the river. Kathy was a very attentive host, answering my several questions prior to arriving and making recommendations. It was relaxing and fun to watch the boats go up and down the river (its a low-wake zone, so its not noisy). We used the canoe a lot to check out the river, but not the kayaks or paddleboards. With the pleasant outdoor shower, sharing the single bathroom was more manageable than I'd thought. Plenty of yard space for games, the hammock under the shady maple was a lovely lounge spot, and we all learned how to crab, thanks to Kathy's guidance and the hand-crafted manual.The location was great as a central jumping off spot to area beaches, the ferry to Block Island, WaterFire and old school Italian dining in Providence, and area beaches - all of which we did. (Newport is handy also) If you are going to do a lot of cooking or baking, you may want to bring your own gear - it is only a cottage kitchen. We dined out at Matunuck Oyster Bar, where apparently everyone had to be on a Monday night - super busy. We had a more enjoyable dinner for five at the Coast Guard House - great food and service. A charming spot for sure! Thank you Kathy!!

Great Location and Great Host
The location of the cottage is awesome and Kathy was always on hand for anything we needed or advice on where to go. She was an excellent host. The use of the Kayaks was great and the family spent all week on the water. I would recommend for family's with active teenagers.

Peace and quiet!
1st: pics don't do it justice, much prettier roomier. 2nd: from beaches to groceries to pharmacies it's all a hop away. 3rd: host is very quick to respond and very helpful with ideas and suggestions. Our stay was very layed back, relaxing lots of eating and sleeping late(it's peacefully sounding). Mansions, beaches brewery were some of ventures.
