Coastal cottage in downtown historic Bristol, RI. Walk to restaurants & water.

1903 Cottage by the sea. Take a step back in time. Quaint and cozy home in the historic town of Bristol, RI. Bristol is home to the longest running Fourth of July celebration in the country. This coastal gem is 3 blocks to the bay and walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Grab a bottle of wine/BYOB and walk to Pomodoros Italian restaurant for dinner. A local fish market is only one block away. Hear the church bells ring and the birds sing as you enjoy your morning coffee on the back deck or front porch. Beautiful large backyard. Less then a mile to many great restaurants. Sample local seafood at Bristol Oyster Bar or sit by the fire at an old stone tavern on the waterfront, DeWolf Tavern. Take a walk or bring your bike to ride on the paved East Bay bike path (runs all the way to Providence). There is also a bike rental shop in downtown Bristol.
During your visit at our folk Victorian cottage, you will not be without modern conveniences. Granite counters and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Sixty five inch flat screen in the family room. Each bedroom has a queen size brand new Nectar memory foam mattress and down comforters. Dishwasher, washer/dryer. Wifi. Desk area for work space. Parks and playgrounds near by. Off street parking. Colt State park and Bristol Town Beach just a short drive away. Four minutes to the Mount Hope Bridge which leads to the lovely towns of Portsmouth and Middletown. Bristol is only 14 miles to Newport. No smoking in house or on front porch. Accommodates 7 guests. There is a twin size day bed off the kitchen. An extra sleeping area or just a place to curl up for a nap or to read a good book. Quiet family neighborhood. Small get-togethers allowed. Respect to neighbors, no loud music after hours.(noise ordinance)

Family vacation
Great location, quiet neighborhood Only two things didn’t go well. We booked this site because of washer and dryer needs. We were notified before we arrived washer was broken snd we weren’t given access to them. Would hv preferred a personalized welcome left in the rental. Usually you get some waters, snacks and at least a days worth of coffee/creamer etc. There was none of that and as we came in late we didn’t have anything to enjoy when we got up. It would hv been nice to not have to leave and go shopping first thing. I’ve not had a rental yet that didn’t provide. Otherwise excellent stay. We enjoyed ourselves and slept wonderfully. Super quiet house snd neighborhood. We went for walks to the water, restaurants, parks and shops!

Great stay in the heart of Bristol
Our stay was amazing, the house is so cute and clean. Nancy was very great with communication and everything was very clear. I would note that you can only enter the home through the back door as the bottom of the stairs in the front were blocked by greenery, didn’t bother us one bit though. Beds were very comfortable, ample towels provided, location was great. One of the best stays ever.

Perfect cottage stay in a beautiful New England town
Nancy’s VRBO cottage was perfect for us! Traveled with 5 other friends . The 3 bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The main floor kitchen and living area modern, yet cozy. In a quiet neighborhood and with a lovely back yard and sitting area. The house is only a mile from down town so is easily walkable to everything. Nancy was the most gracious hostess from the very beginning all the way through to check out . She loves her little town and truly enjoyed giving us wonderful advice on restaurants and attractions. She stayed in touch with us during the stay to be sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend her lovely house for family or friend trips. Nancy , we will miss our little friend , Ash😊.

Our stay in the Coastal Cottage was wonderful. The house is lovely and comfortable. We also enjoyed spending time on the back porch admiring the beautiful yard. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and the location is close to many Bristol attractions and businesses. Absolutely no complaints. Debbie

Welcoming and Warm Home in a Beautiful Neighborhood
This home was so warm and inviting inside and out. We settled in nicely and felt at home. The grounds are so beautiful and well manicured. Nancy, our host, was very responsive and empathetic to all our needs. I could tell she put a lot of heart into this home. Well done, Nancy!

The property was as listed and suited our needs perfectly. We came up for the Newport Jazz Festival and the location was great. Easy 30 min drive to downtown Newport. The bedrooms were spacious and beautifully done. The mattress and pillows are amazing! Best I have had in any rental so far. Nancy was very responsive and everything was perfect. I would come back again for next festival. Thank you for everything Anna

Coastal Cottage has been appropriated perfectly for a lovely rental in the charming town of Bristol. All the furniture seems new and very clean. The beds are comfortable with nice linens and towels. The water pressure is excellent. The kitchen is quite large and the dining room table can accommodate six people quite comfortably. One of the highlights of our stay was roasting marshmallows over their outdoor fire pit. Truly a home away from home!

Family weekend to celebrate graduation
We had a wonderful weekend stay. The house is well located on a quiet street, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, the water, and a quick 5 min drive to RWU. It was comfortable, clean, well appointed and well equipped, with plenty of space both inside and out. The outdoor space is lovely with a nice deck with picnic table and chairs around the fire pit within the beautifully landscaped yard. The only thing we thought was out of place is the daybed in the kitchen. While we can see it may have been placed there for overflow sleeping, we thought that space would serve guests better as a breakfast nook or the like. We would highly recommend this home for a stay in the very charming town of Bristol.
