About this property

Buena Vista Cottage - Walk to 2 beaches!! - Wickford Newport.

We offer you the opportunity to stay at The Buena Vista Cottage, a quaint 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage that is two houses away from the West passage of Narragansett Bay! There are views of Narragansett Bay from the sunroom and backyard however there are panoramic views from two private beaches that are within walking distance from this cottage. The back yard is fenced in and has an outdoor shower.

This house has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. Aside from the two private beaches that are walking distance from this property, there are several beautiful Rhode Island beaches just a short drive away. The Buena Vista Cottage has an eat in kitchen with GE Cafe appliances and granite countertops. We also offer a coffee bar that is stocked with K-cups. A toaster oven for quick snacks is also provided. In the sun room there is a sitting area and a high top table that can also be used for dining, a night of games with the kids, or cards with some friends. Extra chairs for the kitchen or sunroom are located in the basement. The living room has a couch, two bar stools at the kitchen breakfast bar and a chair with an ottoman. The 55" TV smart TV swivels towards the living room, kitchen, or the sunroom. There is a large coffee table where you can do puzzles on a rainy day or layout your favorite pictures or magazines. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen size Sleep number bed. The decor is relaxing, has beach accents, and has as photography from some of of favorite local locations. We do not offer early check in or late check out. You will need to bring beach towels, bath towels, and bed sheets. We are pet friendly, but we only allow 1 pet per visit.

Ed's Beach - There is limited parking at Ed's beach but this beach is a 3-4 min walk (.3 miles from the house.). This beach is the rockier of the two beaches however has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. You can also go clamming (RI clamming license required.). The beach has a boat launch and you can also bring your own or rent kayaks/paddleboards. Sorry,. there is no boat trailer parking available as the parking is very limited. You can see the Jamestown bridge and the Newport Bridge from this beach.

Anthony's beach - Anthony's beach is a flat 9-10 minute walk and is .5 miles away from the house. There is no parking available and the beach path is nestled away to reveal a sandy beach. The waves are very subtle as you are in the Bay.

If you like to walk or ride bikes this community is very safe to do both. There is a 1.2 mile loop that takes you by the water and past both beaches. There is very little traffic and residents are very cautious of pedestrians. Be sure to wave as everyone is very friendly.

The town of Wickford, named USA todays best historic town in 2022 is a short 4 minute drive down the road and is super cute. Several restaurants and local business line the main road and the town often has art exhibits and other outdoor events such as the witches paddle near Halloween. Wickford Harbor is gorgeous and is also great to explore!! If you want to rent a Kayak, the Kayak Center is right in the heart of Wickford. Rent a kayak or paddle board for the day or the duration of your stay or go on one of their tours. Eateries to check out are Tate's (Italian), Wickford on the Water (American/seafood), Mickey's (pizza), and Shayna's (lunch). For a unique brunch experience check out Sweet Marie's Tea Cottage. Reservations are required for Sweet Marie's Tea Cottage.

Our house is central to many great locations in Rhode Island and close to Connecticut and Massachusetts. There are plentiful restaurants, most with amazing views, and public beaches that are within 30 mins of this cottage. If you need a recommendation feel free to reach out. Here are the drive times to close towns/cities and points of interest.
-10 min drive to Jamestown
-15 minute drive to Newport
-15 minute drive to Narragansett

If you love live music at night there are several hot spots to check out. Our favorites are The Narragansett Cafe in Jamestown (15 min drive), Ocean Mist in Matunuck (30 min drive) The Charlestown Rathskeller in Charlestown (30 min drive) and Rosalini's in Pawcatuck (45 min drive). Rosalini's is a little further away but worth the trip. It would be a great final stop after visiting Mystic for the day. There are also smaller venues that have local talent and you can check these out using Facebook events. East Greenwich is also a very happening spot for great restaurants, music, and shopping and is 15 mins away. Definitely try an expresso martini at Main Street Cafe if you are in town. If you like country line dancing you must try The Mishnock Barn in West Greenwich, which is 20 mins away from the cottage..

Perfect Cottage by the Sea

This property was the epitome of a "cottage by the sea". It is beautifully decorated and has a very homey, relaxing atmosphere. It is centrally located to all the sights and things to do in Rhode Island. The owners are wonderful and let us know about things to do during our stay, and places to go which was extremely helpful, since it was our first time in RI.

The cottage was lovely and easily accommodated our family of 4. We could explore area towns (most a short distance) and return for a lovely evening. The neighborhood was quiet and made for a beautiful location to enjoy a walk along the water. The hosts provide a book of suggested restaurants, activities, etc and they were spot on. Overall a wonderful stay!

Adorable Cape Cod close to URI and Newport. Clean and well appointed. Owners were very easy to communicate with and helpful. The only suggestion I would have is to ask for additional blankets for the bedrooms if you are staying off season.

Beautiful and very clean! It’s a bright and cheerful little cottage. The design and amenities were top-notch. They thought of everything and communicated well. It was a great place to vacation with our adult children. Centrally located to Newport mansions, the beach, antique stores and charming Wickford.

Perfect Location

From the minute we saw the cottage we knew it was going to be a great vacation. The property and cottage are well maintained with inviting flowers adorning the entrance. It was close to everything we wanted to do. We explored Providence (30 minute ride) and had amazing food at their Little Italy section, and pastries to die for. An evening enjoying dinner on the water and watching the sunset in Jamestown was lovely. Everywhere is dog friendly and even though we didn't bring ours it is great to know for the next time we come on vacation! Views from both beach areas close to the cottage are spectacular.

Cozy cottage/great location

The cottage is as advertised. Clean and cozy, but with living room and sun room there is plenty of sitting area. The kitchen has all appliances & equipment needed for those who like to cook in. The back yard is fenced in with chairs and firepit. Great for morning coffee or evening with family around fire. Quick walk to local beaches and a good central location for Wickford, Newport and Narragansett activities. Family had a great time and thanked me for finding a great place to stay!

We thought the property was great. All the little touches made a difference. We used their homemade guide a lot to find restaurants, beaches and activities. It had everything we needed. The only thing i would change are the check in/out times. 4pm seems a little late and 10am a little early. Overall a great stay. We would recommend!

Great beach cottage

The cottage was great, plenty of space for my wife and I to stay with our 4-month old and German Shepard mix. I grew up in North Kingstown and we stayed in the cottage for a 5 day weekend to visit my family while still having our own space for quiet time. After check in, my wife and I took a look through the welcome binder and I was pleased to find that I agreed with almost all of the hosts' recommendations for restaurants and things to d. The only ones I didn't agree with were the places I hadn't been yet.The fenced backyard was great for playtime with our dog, and the quiet neighborhood is an excellent location to take our dog for a walk.The two beaches in the neighborhood are a short walk away, and the outdoor shower (which has hot water!) was really handy after coming back from a morning walk on the beach.A couple low spots in the ceilings probably wouldn't be ideal if you're over 6 feet tall, but that was nothing that myself or my wife had to worry about. The kitchen is well set up for almost anything you'd need, and the air conditioning worked perfectly to keep us comfortable.

Family time

This was an awesome getaway weekend in a beautifully decorated beach cottage! We chose this home because it was close to the college we were setting our daughter up in during our stay. However, this home offered so much more. The hosts were awesome from day one! We were highly impressed with updated appliances, water filtration system, attention to details while decorating while supporting local businesses was top notch! We also loved the variety of K-Cups offered for our morning coffee! The neighborhood was quiet and the home is within close proximity to two small local beaches. Everyone waved to one another in the town and the neighbors loved our dogs as well. This cottage is a true gem! Nyree and Brian were perfect hosts! We cannot wait to go back!

Attention to details & total comfort

So grateful for the added support when plans changed with my daughter’s ACL surgery. Nyree and Brian researched accessible areas to allow my whole family to enjoy restaurants and outings. Their home was so comfortable and well-stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and allowed us to push the wheelchair for walks. We loved the kayak, and my daughter was able to read her book in her wheelchair. There were easy steps so that she could use her crutches to get in and out of the house. Being sensitive to the humidity, the air conditioning was perfect. The attention to decor and the beautiful flowers gave us sunshine on a rainy day. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will definitely return. Mary Lou B. Westfield, Massachusetts
