About this cottage rental
Sea Glass Cottage is located on the exclusive north shore of Jamestown/Conanicut Island, on a quiet cul-de-sac adjacent to Narragansett Bay.
This historic Victorian-style cottage was built in 1876 and has been in our family for over 100 years. In 2008 we bought Sea Glass Cottage from our extended family and began its total restoration & upgrade, touching every aspect of the house, including new; roof, electrical & internet wiring, plumbing, walls & moldings, heating system, double-pane windows, window air conditioners, ceiling fans, new septic system with water filtration system, new bathrooms, new kitchen, & interior/exterior painting. Most importantly, we retained our cottage’s historic heritage by refurbishing the original tin ceilings, doors, and wood flooring.
Our home is a few steps away from a shell beach, a shore line neighborhood beach, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, skipping rocks, or moonlit camp fires. Beach shoes are recommended. The beach has amazing views of the Narragansett Bay, Prudence and Patience Islands. We have a wrap around porch that allows you a serene place to relax in one of our comfortable rockers & enjoy our tranquil setting. Our spacious backyard has a brick patio with BBQ & picnic table for family dining. We have a backyard deck with an outdoor dining set for six, plus two chaise lounges, to enjoy more Bay views!
Our gourmet kitchen is fully equipped, and its counter island seats two, allowing for comfortable gatherings with the chef. All of the rooms incorporate many of our family’s original antiques, mixed among newer cottage-style furniture.
On the first floor there is the living room, dining room, kitchen, one full tub/shower bathroom, and a once-upon-a-time music room - that can be closed off completely for privacy with a queen sofa sleeper. The second floor has one full bathroom (shower only), four bedrooms; two have full beds, one has a King bed - which may be broken down into two twin beds if requested at the time of booking. And a Nanny room above the kitchen stairs w/ a twin daybed.
Located on the north end of Jamestown, you are just 10 minutes from the center of Jamestown and 20 minutes to famous historic Newport.
Based on our family's past 100 years of enjoying Sea Glass Cottage - I can easily say it is an ideal location for building sweet family memories and traditions.
We would like a maximum 6 guests - but will consider a couple more persons under certain conditions. We are children friendly, & ask that there be no smoking please within our cottage.

We had a wonderful time at Seaglass Cottage. The house was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. The kitchen was fantastically equipped and well organized. The outdoor area was lovely as well. Our host was very responsive. We really felt the cottage was our home away from home during our stay. In fact, our children loved the house so much they asked to return on the ride home.

Thoroughly charming antique house but with very modern bathrooms and furnishings, nothing fussy just warm and beautiful. Location quiet and small beach at road's end very appreciated. Everything we could need was thought of: bug spray, sunblock, spices, cooking gear, clamming rake, gas grill, tissues and heaven knows what else. Just an amazing property on an amazing island. We all had a relaxing and wonderful stay. Thank you!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this cottage! There was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space during the day and gather at the substantial dining room table at night for dinner and games.
We will definitely be back!

No swimming beach access - the reason we go to an island in the summer is to spend time at the beach however all the swimming beaches require parking permits. We've stayed on Jamestown previously, a great 8 mile island, and the owners provided parking passes to the town beaches. I called the town hall, they said we could pay $15 a day to use the beach, but we weren't able to find parking attendant to pay..
