Location: Watch Hill, Rhode Island, USA (The water side of property faces Bay St. in Watch Hill)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
An alternative to generic condominiums, our unique little cottage is in the heart of Watch Hill. You can walk to two beaches, the oldest "flying horse" carousel in the U.S., and shops and restaurants in minutes. Enjoy outdoor dining and sunset cocktails on the deck.
The Ice House was originally the kitchen/ice house for the larger home on the property, which was later converted to a separate home. The house has a loft-like first floor, with open living and dining room, and a full kitchen with counter seating. There is a new flat screen TV, a pull out couch, and an antique Hoosier cabinet and matching dining set for four. The cottage has a Caribbean color scheme with a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings and art.
On the second floor, the master bedroom has air conditioning and an antique double bed with romantic net canopy. The second bedroom has two antique iron twins (also air conditioned) and is perfect for families with children. Outside the bedrooms is a cozy sitting area with TV.
The deck on the front of the house has a table with umbrella, chairs and a small grill.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Watch Hill
Watch Hill is located in the town of Westerly, RI, the first coastal town over the Connecticut border. It is twenty minutes from Mystic, Connecticut, the Mystic Aquarium and the Mystic Seaport Museum. The lovely town of Stonington, Connecticut, home to many antique shops and boutiques, is also just a twenty minute drive. North of Westerly, Newport is about 45 minutes.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
If you want surf and a deep, sand beach, East Beach is a 5 minute walk from the cottage. If you want a quiet, family beach that is more protected from the waves, the beach at the carousel ( sometimes called the children's beach) is available for our renters and is also a quick walk down Bay Street. Both beaches have life guards on duty. Parking pass for the Bay Street lot is included.
