About this property
Classic Beach Cottage, Steps to Ocean Break.
Lull yourself to sleep with the sounds of the ocean and wake up with the distant whistle of the Block Island Ferry. The Cottage by the Sea is nestled in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Narragansett. Located one block from a rocky ocean entryway, and the best surf break in Rhode Island, this sparkling clean home gives you access to the all the best activities Rhode Island has to offer.
The Cottage has beautiful clean and cozy bedrooms with fresh linens, a newer bathroom, refreshing outdoor shower, and is sparkling clean and comfortable. It also has a newer kitchen and central AC. With a large deck and cute New England yard, sip coffee while listening to the waves or gaze at the massive amounts of stars while enjoying a cocktail at night. For a night off, there are three flat screen televisions with cable (and WiFi), one in each bedroom and a large one in the living room so the family can watch a movie together.
The home is located within walking distance to the stunning lighthouse and some of Narragansett's best coastlines, restaurants, and pubs including Ocean Road Bistro, Spain Restaurant, Chair Five, Famous Aunt Carrie's (for ice cream and New England fare - Yum!), Iggy's, and the Bon Vue Tavern.
Also, check out Back Beach, an eight minute walk, for fishing, swimming (no lifeguard or facilities), and some of the most spectacular views of the ocean and sunset that you will ever see.
A quick run or bike brings you to either Sand Hill Cove (great for young children and children of any age) or Scarborough Beaches with big waves, each a two minute car ride from the home; both with lifeguards, bathrooms, and snack bars...or pop open a beach chair at the rocky break, one block from the house where you can watch the sun rise, wade in the water to look for seashells, and maybe see some ocean animals.
Whale watching, a trip on the Block Island Ferry, or deep sea fishing is only five minutes away in Galilee. A twenty minute car ride brings you to world famous Newport for shopping, dining, and yachting.

Thank you Stephanie! The Cottage by the Sea is located one block from the Conant Break, a rocky ocean break where you can surf, watch the sunrise, and sometimes see ocean animals. However it’s also ideally located between three sandy, swimming beaches, a quick bike ride or long walk from the Cottage (with plenty of parking as well). Point Judith is a great place to get your beach time in. I’m happy to share more info with you if/when you return. Details are also in our information binder at the house. We enjoyed hosting you and your brother and hope the rest of your summer is great. Thank you!
The cottage was cozy, clean, and perfect for our family of four. It was more than comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was gracious and very responsive, which made the experience even better. We loved being just steps from a beautiful ocean view and so close to the beaches. We hope to stay here again one day!
This quintessential beach cottage gives you all the good vibes for a perfect seaside stay. Neat as a pin, great sleeping spaces, close to all the beaches. We will definitely be staying here again!!
Our family of 5 had a wonderful 4 night stay at this beautifully maintained cottage in a quaint and scenic neighborhood. Easy check in and check out, this was the perfect fit for our family. No stairs was a huge plus for us and the outdoor shower made it much easier for us to keep the interior sand free and clean! Thank you!

Thank you Rachel. Your family is delightful and thank you for taking care of the Cottage during your stay- with three small children, we barely knew you were there! Please visit again soon. Thank You~The Waters Family
Great location, walkable to a beach, several restaurants, and the Point Judith lighthouse. Host was very responsive and welcoming. She even invited us to the block’s 4th of July parade. Our kids loved the sleeping porch. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this property.
The cottage by the sea is exactly as listed, very clean and quaint cottage close to the ocean and the lighthouse. Ann Marie was so responsive, thoughtful and helpful. We will return some time next year!
Beautifully appointed, large (for cottage) and comfortable!!! Neighborhood was very quiet and accessible to several state beaches. Owners extremely nice and accommodating.

Thank you Michael. It was a pleasure hosting you and your lovely family. Please come back anytime. ☀️
Wonderful coastal cottage tucked in the perfect neighborhood. The property is just as advertised and is well stocked and spotless. The welcome treats were a well appreciated surprise after a day of travel. The hostess was very responsive and communicative- very helpful! We loved our stay and would happily return!
This Quiet, charming beach cottage in a great location made for an entirely magical late-summer getaway.
We visited Block Island, Naragansett area beaches and restaurants and walked and biked all around Point Judith. Anne Marie is a fantastic host! Thank you! We’d love to return!
Seven of us (over 3 generations) stayed at the cottage for a long weekend and loved our visit! The walk to the ocean to watch the sunrise and surfers was perfect for teens and grandparents alike. Nearby Roger Wheeler beach was a bit crowded, but easy to access. We also took the ferry to Block Island for a day, which was easy and fun. Dinner at recommended restaurant Spain was a perfect way to end our trip. Would highly recommend staying here. AnnMarie was a wonderful host!
We had such a nice three night stay! The house was perfectly clean, beds were comfy, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. We walked to Aunt Carrie’s for ice cream, ate at George’s of Galilee, went to Block Island and Newport. It was an action-packed weekend and this was a great home base. We appreciated the treats too! Thanks so much!
Our week long stay was perfect! It was like a home away from home! The house was in pristine condition with an extremely clean/updated kitchen and bathroom. The sleeping porch allowed our friends from home to sleep comfortably. The outdoor shower with hot water was a nice perk after a day at the beach. Ann Marie was accommodating with great communication. She brought us fresh towels almost daily and was helpful in answering questions regarding the area. We couldn’t have had a better host or more comforting stay. 10/10!

Thank you so much for your review and kind words. It was wonderful to host you and your beautiful family. We hope to see you again soon.
Beach cottage worked perfectly for our family of six. Plenty of space to sleep for our two adults and four children. House is upgraded where it matters most (kitchen, bathroom).
Walking distance to a couple of restaurants and an ice cream stand and easy access to beaches and activities within 5-10 minute drive.
Loved the area and the house.

Thank you Steve. It was a pleasure to have you all as our guests! Please think of us again and enjoy the rest of your summer.
We had excellent communication with the owner of the property from booking to check-out. Check-in and check-out was easy and we found the home to be very clean and cozy. It was perfect for what we needed and all 5 of us (adults) were very comfortable. The outdoor shower was amazing along with the deck and outdoor dining/sitting furniture. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. We would highly recommended this home for a stay and would stay there again if in the area.
