Be on the Beach! Awesome Oceanfront Living Close to Downtown Dining Amazing View

Beach Break Cottage comfortably sleeps 8 adults or 4 couples plus children up to 11 guests.

Enjoy your vacation at Beach Break Cottage 18 Esplanade in Middletown RI, a beautiful, modern, ocean and beachfront home on a beachfront compound overlooking Newport's Easton's Beach and famous Cliff Walk. We know you will love MyOceanFrontHome!

It is elevated by 18 feet because it is so close to the ocean so it has awesome views!

The first living floor has a bright, sunny open living/dining room with spectacular views of the ocean, beach and cliff walk. Perfect for entertaining! Enjoy colorful sunsets year round from the living room and deck that is right off the living room or cozy up in front of the gas fireplace in the winter and watch the smokey ocean with waves crashing on the snowy beach. The living room has a smart TV to access Hulu, Netflix and more.

The granite and stainless steel appliances complete the galley kitchen which is well stocked for all your cooking needs and is open so the chef can see all guests in the living and dining areas in addition to the beautiful views of the beach.

Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves all year round!
There is a bedroom on the main living floor with a queen bed, and beautiful views of the beach. A granite and glass full bathroom with step in shower is also on this floor.

On the top floor the main bedroom with ocean and beach views has a king sized bed with full tile and glass tub/shower bath in-suite.

The 3rd bedroom has a queen and a twin and the 4th bedroom has two queen beds with a full tile and glass tub/shower bath in the hall.

There are hi-def flat screen TV's in every bedroom with cotton sheet, quilts and comforters.

The ground floor has a garage with a door facing the off street driveway that fits 6 cars off street. There is no street or lawn parking. There is a Weber gas grill located outside the garage and I supply the gas. The other end of the garage has French doors that open to the large lawn and view of the beach. All beach chairs and supplies, games, boogie boards and kids toys along with ping pong table and small pool table are there for your enjoyment.

Just bring your suitcase because this home has everything you need for bed, bath, beach and cooking for a great vacation. Please- No Smoking, Vaping, and No Pets.

Perfect RI Getaway

An amazing, fall, girlfriends' getaway. Julie could not have been nicer or more helpful. We all came from different states so she was very accommodating with an early check-in. The house was extremely clean and had plenty of everything - towels, chairs, toys, etc. The views of the beach are beautiful and a perfect view of the cliff walk. Steps away from the beach / restaurants and only a few minutes drive to downtown Newport so it was the best of both worlds. We'll be back!

This is a great house- plenty of room for my family of 6 and really so close to Newport. Could walk to the beach, the cliff walk, the pizza place and Flo's clam shack! Loved the coffee on the deck, collecting clam shells - the ping pong and pool table in the basement were a bonus. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen has all you need and it's so well kept! We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Julie O'Halloran 401-862-1465

Host profile image
I have lived on this street most of my life. After I got married, my husband and I bought these three lots where we built our own home and two vacation homes. It is one of the most beautiful spots on Aquidneck Island and in all of Rhode Island. We are continually updating, renovating and improving our beach homes for our guests, many of whom return year after year. I have equipped them with everything you will need for a great vacation on the beach, even in the winter with the cozy gas fireplaces. So book your week or weekend now before we sell out!

Why they chose this property

My whole family has lived here within a few blocks of each other since 1930, so the memories of my childhood surround me. Swimming and surfing at '1st Beach', exploring the rocks on the point, walking to the surf store, restaurants, and '2nd Beach', walking to St. George's School where all of my daughters were educated, and watching the amazing sunsets over the Cliff Walk and big surf have been a part of my life and I would not want to live anywhere else.

What makes this property unique

The Esplanade and Tuckerman Avenue area on Easton's Point is centrally located so that you are very close to downtown, both beaches, or Route 138 for a quick drive to Providence or Boston, but it is quiet and the scenery is gorgeous so that you feel as though you are at a resort on an island.
Please check out our other two other homes on the same ocean and beachfront compound overlooking Newport's Easton's Beach and the cliff Walk or rent all three for your wedding or family reunion. We look forward to having you as our guests!

Easton's Seaside Cottage 4 bedrooms 2.5 baths
https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p131374

Location, location, location, on a beachfront compound, 50 feet to the sand! These homes are close to 1st and 2nd beach and downtown, yet away from the congestion and traffic and within walking distance of The Newport Beach House wedding venue, Flo's Clam Shack, Tickets Sports Bar, Mission Restaurant, Aquidneck Pizza, Diego's Restaurant, Atlantic Grill, Clementine's ice cream, Island surf and skate shop, Elemental surf shop, Cumberland Farms convenience stores, Bottega Bocconi Italian Deli and restaurant, a coffee shop and more!
