About this cottage rental
This is a summer seasonal place (Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend) with its extraordinary private setting, amidst rolling conservation farm land, and its expansive breathtaking ocean view offers unimaginable appeal. It is in essence that quaint 'Sconset cottage without all of the hassle of Cape Cod bridge traffic, island ferry rides and summer's tourist throngs. The charming vintage cottage is, instead, located in the quiet and serenely peaceful area of Fogland. Near a treasured barrier beach, this property provides the ideal vacation getaway, for one to three guests. Sleeping accommodations include a king size bed in the master bedroom as well as a twin bed located in the sleeping nook at the at end of the spacious living room. While still within convenient access to the cultural and recreational activities of Newport, Providence and Boston, it is just far enough off of the beaten path.
While on holiday, enjoy all the place and the area have to offer. Plan a late evening picnic, under the stars, on the lovely lawn or within its diminutive enclosed courtyard, gazing at the moon over the Atlantic Ocean directly beyond. Take a short (5 minute) walk to Fogland Beach and there explore the rich variety of marine and bird life along the water's edge, swim, stroll the shoreline collecting seashells, fish, or bring a blanket and bask in the sun. There is a lifeguard on duty (seasonably) during the main portion of the day, boat launch, playground, bathhouse and one of the premier windsurfing locations anywhere.
Just a short (2 miles) drive or bike ride away lies the Tiverton Four Corners, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once there, enjoy an award winning cone of Gray's ice cream, visit one of the several art galleries, share a meal at the Four Corners Grille or a sandwich, salad and sweet pastries on the Groundswell’s wrap around porch while watching the passersby. Shop for boutique apparel and accessories, fine home goods and artisanal products. Return to the cottage for a secluded rest on the sun porch wrapped in a cooling breeze off of the water.
