View of North side of House
Location: Tiverton, Rhode Island, USA (50 minutes from Providence; 1 hour 20 minutes from Boston)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 5)
Stunning waterfront location on Fogland Point, three bedrooms (one queen, one double, one single). Huge fieldstone fireplace. Open living room/dining room/kitchen with three couches in living room. This comfortable escape home is great for relaxing and entertaining. Huge wraparound deck faces the Sakonnet River. New windows, new stove, new Sealy mattresses. Tile bath has full tub/shower.
Private rocky beach great for fishing and picnics, also a short 2 or 3 minute walk to the sandy, public Fogland Beach, for swimming, boat launching, and wind surfing. Lifeguard on duty seasonally. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. Gorgeous daylily garden, and the house is surrounded by blue and purple hydrangeas. Or take a walk and pick yourself a bouquet of wild beach roses.
Just a short ride to Newport. Eight minutes from historic Tiverton Four-Corners, with Gray's Ice Cream, Provender, antique stores, galleries, toy store, gift shops, designer clothing shops for adults and kids, cheese and pate shop, produce stands, book store, library, restaurant and more. Tour Sakonnet Vineyards, ten minutes away.
Homey local restaurants feature great home cooking and seafood specialties, like seafood chowder, lobster rolls, fried clams, clam cakes & home made pies. Fresh seafood markets, country stands, and garden centers in both Tiverton and neighboring Little Compton.
We had a new low water usage washer/dryer installed last summer.
Please note that we have a well, we are not supplied with town water. Water conservation is important in this fragile coastal environment. For example, please allow time between large uses of water consumption for the well to "re-charge". If you take a shower, do dishes, and wash the car at the same time the well could run dry. We have not had the well run dry in 14 years, but it could happen if you overuse the well in a short period of time, so please be careful with water consumption.

Welcome to our guestbook. We had a wonderful set of guests this summer, and when we returned in the fall the house looked as if it had never been rented. We want to personally thank all our wonderful guests for taking such good care of our home, and we hope to welcome you back again next season. Some of you have already contacted us about returning, and we have updated our availablilty calender for next year, so take a look at the dates left if you haven't already called us. We would also like to encourage anyone who stayed at Fogland last season to add any comments you might care to share. Thanks again! Wendy and Joel
