About this property

Sakonnet Harbor is Your Private Front Yard!

NO WEDDINGS, NO PARTIES, NO PETS, NO SMOKERS or VAPORS!
NO EXCEPTIONS! (Thanks!)
At the end of a private lane sits a perfect three season cottage right on Sakonnet Harbor in Little Compton, RI. Sit on the porch or in the Adirondack chairs on your PRIVATE front lawn and watch close-up the comings and goings of fishing boats and pleasure craft. Looking west towards the Newport mansions across the mouth of the Sakonnet River enjoy magnificent sunsets from the waterside porch or enclosed sun room. Just steps from water's edge!

A large side yard provides plenty of space for games such as volleyball or and evening cookout with friends and family. The rocks in front are a great place to dive off into the water and an easy place to put in kayaks. When you are done swimming you can rinse off in the outdoor shower!

Inside this two story shingled bungalow are four bedrooms and two full baths. There is a good sized living room with a native stone fireplace plus dining room and an extra den/playroom with TV. The house is heated for the shoulder seasons but not insulated. There is baseboard heating in all rooms. Unsurpassed views from almost every room in the house.

A short less-than-a mile walk or bike ride takes you to two different beaches, Lloyds near the landmark Sakonnet Lighthouse and Tappans at the end of scenic Round Pond. Also, a short walk to the Stone House Inn and Spa, Sakonnet Yacht Club and Sakonnet Golf Club.

The house is at the end of a quiet private lane, approximately 3 miles from the picturesque town of Little Compton where you can get groceries at Wilbur's General Store, a meal at the Commons Lunch, pizza at A-1, beverages at Meeting House Spirits or, a cup of coffee at the Art Cafe.

This quintessential waterfront cottage is a truly unique property - are you ready to fall in love!

The house is available May through October*.

Please note:
*THREE NIGHT MINIMUM stay

RATES are NON-NEGOTIABLE.

NO WEDDINGS. NO PARTIES, NO PETS, NO SMOKERS or VAPORS!

Lovely home

This house had plenty of space and so many different ways to look out and enjoy the beautiful setting. Our kids loved all of the room to run around outside and we really appreciated the sun room in the mornings. The owner was very communicative. We would definitely go back.

Quaint and charming town.

A beautiful property in a very remote location reminiscent of our childhood, with a general store downtown surrounded by farmland, and quaint houses. If you are looking for a quiet respite, a place to read a book and just reflect on life, then this is for you. Very clean and charming decor. The location and views are priceless.

Perfect shoreline setting in Little Compton

We were delighted to return to this property once again. It's always a treat to visit and renew our acquaintance with this special community. We managed to find a new farm stand after the shocking closure of the iconic Walkers. Other than that, we were relieved to find that very little has changed.

Close Escape

It was a perfect getaway from the city! So close to Providence. So to go back&forth to Capucine, my shop in Providence. And the most incredible thing happened. The Friday before I checked in my host's sister-in-law walked into my shop & gave me great suggestions in area.

Uniquely beautiful property!

What a wonderful place! The house is charming, with lots of vintage features that are all too often "updated" or lost to disrepair. It's been carefully maintained and is clean, spacious and altogether delightful! The views are second to none, and the outdoor gathering spaces for lawn games, al fresco dining, or just relaxing and chatting while watching the boat traffic in the Sakonnet harbor are numerous and beautiful. We came for a long weekend of family time with young adult and teenaged kids and loved every minute.

Couldn't have gone better

The house is terrific. Full of charm and you'll never want to leave the picture window that looks out to the harbor. The outside space is also lovely. The town is charming. The kitchen is charming. The water pressure in the shower is amazing. The beds are comfortable. The owner is very responsive. There are fun walks to take from the the house. I don't think I'd change anything about the house or our stay. We stayed in October and had a great mix of warmish days and cool nights. Would happily book this house again.

Unlimited charm

My family and I cannot say enough good things about our stay. From the moment we turned into the drive, till we stepped in the house, till we saw the view, our mouths were wide open. The house was so comfy and well decorated. The views are second to none, the sunsets are amazing. Little Compton was so peaceful and nice. The owners are so very nice and communicated so well. We will absolutely be back.

Restful and Relaxing

From the moment we walked into the house, I knew we found the spot for a restful and relaxing stay. Perfectly situated on the water with views of the harbor provided a most serene setting. The amazing sunrises and sunsets punctuated the days-heavenly. The home’s layout afforded more than ample space for reading and relaxing while other family members were otherwise engaged. The side sun room was a favorite refuge as well the other open porches. Lastly, the location was a perfect jumping off point to surrounding areas of interest, including beaches and walking trails. So grateful we could rent your lovely oasis and take in the overall beauty of Little Compton during our week’s stay.
