Cozy Prudence Island Waterfront

We really need joyed our stay in this seaside home. Beautiful views of the bay. The house is the perfect size will all the amenities you could ask for when counting on a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed it all...the fire pit, the beach, the outdoor shower. We will definitely return

My wife and I had a wonderful time on Prudence Island. What a relaxing weekend. The cottage was a great space. The deck was great for getting a tan and the outdoor shower was a perfect way to cool off.

The fire pit was a cool spot to hang out at night.

We rented bikes for the weekend and I would highly recommend bringing bikes if you could. The island is a great place to ride around and check out the scenery. It was also nice to ride down to the ferry in the morning and grab something from the general store.

It's hard to miss, but the sunrise each morning is awesome. We didn't expect such an amazing site each morning right out our back door. Beautiful.

Note to new visitors on Prudence Island... when they say it's quiet there, it really is. We took the ferry into Bristol for the day for drinks and lunch as a nice break. But when you are on the island, it's you and the ocean. Bring plenty of food and drink.

All in all it was a great spot and beautiful. Would definitely go back and recommend to others!

on the North end, near Potter's Cove, away from Homestead - ++s are quiet and seclusion, --s are a hike from the ferry so be prepared - we had bikes so it was perfect! Also, they have a fenced-in yard (rare for PI) that my Aussie loved. We would def rent again.

First of all, it's tough to find a dog-friendly vacation rental to go along with your preferred location and price range. The owners were very accommodating with bringing our 2 dogs, which was absolutely necessary since my pooch is epileptic, and it wasn't possible to leave him anywhere for a week. The back lawn is really well-fenced and perfect for what we needed.

If you're looking for a spot away from the hustle-bustle of most of our daily experiences, then you won't be disappointed. Prudence Island only has one general store, and it's important to come prepared with plenty of food stuffs and drinks (the store doesn't sell alcohol, but you can get deliveries via Viola's in Bristol. It's only $5 on top of the beer/wine/liquor cost, comes in on the ferry, and I wish we'd discovered this before our last night at the property). The cell signal is good, but there isn't an internet connection, which was totally fine for us. You can do almost anything on smartphones now, and who wants to be in front of a computer while you're on vacation anyway?!? The island is naturally isolated because of it's dependence on the ferry, and the home is on a lesser populated part of the island as well. If offers a lot of privacy (although, there are neighbors on each side), but mingling with locals and other vacationers was awesome too. It immediately caught out attention that absolutely everyone on Prudence Island waves and smiles as you pass by. On the 2 mile drive (approx.) between the property and the ferry, you can expect 9 out of every 10 passing drivers, bicyclists, or other passerby to throw you a wave and a smile. All the kindness truly didn't feel superficial. It was more of a throwback to a small town, welcoming nature, which was backed up by the helpful and genuine affect that we'd seen during longer interactions with the folks around. Having never spent time in the area, we had a lot of questions (logistical and otherwise). The home owners, the ferry staff, the local water taxi owner, and the staff at the local businesses went out of their way to give advice.

The house itself was well-maintained and very comfortable. Everything was spick-and-span when we arrived after a long drive. The AC unit was even running when we got there, and it cools the house very well. The owners really seemed to care about making sure many peripheral aspects of the house were quality. Loved the outdoor shower!

Really, really hoping to come back!!

This was our first trip to Prudence Island and it was love at first sight. The house is cozy and the views are spectacular. Our dog loved the fenced in yard and we were so happy to bring him along. Prudence Island is a perfect spot to get away from it all and truly relax. Thank you to Jim and Kristin for sharing your beautiful home. We can't wait to visit again!
