Charming, Classic New England waterfront cottage

Charming waterfront cottage in a family friendly neighborhood.
Well appointed cottage with all the updated amenities you'll need to feel right at home.

This lovely cottage has plenty of room for everyone. Enjoy your morning coffee/tea in the sunroom or evening drink out on the porch watching a magnificent sunset. Spread out on the large sectional couch and watch a movie on the big screen TV with soundbar.
The main floor has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a Queen size bed, coastal style furniture and large double closet. The second bedroom has 2 brand new Twin beds, dresser and closet space.
The lower level of the house offers a comfortable bonus room with a large screen TV & Bluetooth soundbar, a built-in desk for setting up a office space, plus a new Queen size sleep sofa to entertain your guests. In addition, there's a full size laundry room and storage for all your beach stuff!
Winter '23 NEW FULL BATHROOM added to lower level to accommodate additional overnight guests.

The centrally located home is easily accessible to all major routes and local attractions. Newport is a short 20 minute drive, spend the day exploring the Gilded Age mansions, take a scenic tour of Ocean Drive or visit Fort Adams State Park. Don't miss the enchanting Cliff Walk with panoramic ocean views.

Located on the northside of Aquidneck Island, Portsmouth provides the perfect location to access all the area attractions. Visit the historic village of Jamestown right over the Newport Pell bridge, take a short drive to explore Historic Tiverton Four Corners or enjoy the beaches in Little Compton. A quick drive over the Mt Hope Bridge is the seaside village of Bristol where you will find an active waterfront filled with restaurants, shops and cafes. Be sure to visit Colt State Park with lovely walking trails, picnic spots and an open air Chapel-by-the-Sea.

Common Fence Point is one of those neighborhoods that people love to visit and live. There's direct water access across the street where you can swim, kayak, or sunbathe. There's the local playground, baseball diamond and of course the brand new CFP Community Center which hosts exercise classes, kids activities, music events, movie nights, plus a little corner store to pick up basic items or sandwich to take to the beach, and all are within walking distance from the house.

Enjoy digging your toes in the sand and catching a wave at the beautiful local beaches, then stop at the local clam shack for a lobster roll!

There is always something to do, regardless of the season, in the beautiful state of Little Rhody!

Beautiful house!
We loved our stay! The house was absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean. We felt so relaxed and comfortable. The host was very responsive and checked in a few times to ensure we were having a great stay and to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend.

Wedding weekend
The cottage was just perfect for our needs. It was a little smaller than it looked on line but no problem. It was so well equipped also. The only problem we had was the weather. It didn’t cooperate for this wedding. The host was exceptional with our requests. Would love to go back in the summer to enjoy the view.

Beautiful and Relaxing Home and Location
Perfect spot overlooking the bay with easy morning and evening walks along the quiet side road or the beach. The home was as advertised and we wanted for nothing. Our hostess, Noelle came by to make sure we were comfortable and to address any questions we may have had. I would not hesitate to stay here again, probably one of the best, if not the best rentals we’ve ever had. Close to both Bristol and Newport so a perfect location for sightseeing.

Beautiful House and Great Location
Noelle was a wonderful host and the house and location were just perfect. The house was clean and very well kept - we were all very comfortable and wished we could have stayed longer! Our stay was in October and the weather was very rainy that weekend but I would really like to come again in the spring or summer to enjoy water. Highly recommend this beautiful property!

Peaceful water views, shell beach, near Tiverton/Little Compton
We had gotten married in Portsmouth 28y ago, wanted some more room, needed to stay near Providence (25min drive) for Memorial Day wknd. True to photos on website, upper level of home has living areas/sunroom/deck to view sunset/bridge/water. Local shell beach right across street, neighbors walking dogs, feels v safe. Coastal Roasters nearby, open 6am. Easy drive up to Boston last day to catch flights. Don't forget to bring your own drip coffee (if getting in late, leaving early like we did!)

A coastal gem!
A very special cottage in a very special spot! The hosts have provided a lovely, well equipped and super comfortable getaway with beautiful waterfront views off the front porch in a terrific neighborhood. They thought of everything one might need and made some great suggestions for our visit, plus the place was modern and spotless. We found Portsmouth to be a perfect landing pad for exploring the area- convenient and close but away from the hectic fray. We loved our stay and cannot wait to return! Thank you Noelle and coastal cottages!

Comfortable with amazing view of bay
We stayed here a year ago and were happy to return. The home is clean and comfortable and the view of the bay is amazing. The host has thought of everything to make you feel at home and communicates quickly and easily. We spent hours on the porch and in the sunroom enjoying the views of the bay, we walked the lovely neighborhood, and even took the kayaks out. Easy access to Tiverton area, Bristol and RWU, and Newport.

Great Beach House
We had a wonderful two week stay with our 2 year old daughter. The house was well stocked, clean and the location was great (especially for kids). We enjoyed the beach right across the street, strolls around the neighborhood, playing at the community playground just a short walk away, and many beautiful sunsets over Mount Hope Bay from the front porch. Noelle was a very helpful and kind host. We hope to be back soon!

What a great getaway! We didn’t want to leave the incredible view and peacefulness of the front deck. But we did. We found the cute town of Bristol. Enjoyed lunch there and a great walking trail the next day. The whole area was great and the house was perfect. Would definitely return!

Just the view we wanted!
Seaside Cottage gave us the perfect view we were looking for while on our vacation in Rhode Island. We knew it would be cool and overcast but we still wanted to enjoy our morning coffee while relaxing on the wonderful front porch overlooking the water. It just made for a great start to our day. Check in and check was very accommodating, the cottage was wonderfully appointed with a comfy sofa, great bed linens, well equipped Kitchen, and tons of windows for a great view. We enjoyed every moment and plan on coming back! Thank you for the attention to details! Kendra and Allen

Fabulous house & gorgeous views
What a beautiful home! Very clean, very comfortable and incredible views right in front of you! There were five of us for a girl’s weekend, and this house was perfect. It’s in a nice, quiet & friendly neighborhood. A great area for walking or biking. We had cocktails on the front deck watching sailboats and a beautiful sunset. There is so much to see and do in the area including a quick drive to Newport. Noelle was terrific to work with…will stay here again when back in this area. Fabulous getaway

Girls getaway
My friends and I just got back from a lovely stay at Noelles home. The house was in perfect condition and in the perfect location. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, and the newly refinished bathroom was a plus! We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying our morning coffees and catching the most beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed- we made many meals there. This home was a quick 25minutes from Newport- where we did most of our exploring. If we every make our way back to Newport we’d highly consider coming back here

Very Beautiful and Relaxing
Noelle’s home was spectacular. Had everything you need, was professionally cleaned and super comfortable. A killer view which was hard to leave. My sister, best friend and I started the week for a few days away just girls and we enjoyed the convenience of the rocky bay beach just across the street every day. When they left my two teenage sons and husband finished the week with me and they equally enjoyed the swimming, kayaking and fantastic fishing! Noelle was great to work with and always was super responsive. Lots to do in the area and everywhere we got take out or ate out was great! Highly recommend this lovely place.
