WATERFRONT Cottage ON THE BAY– Stunning Views & Steps to Beach, Park & Bike Path
Location, location, location ON NARRAGANSETT BAY
Bristol Town Beach & Colt State Park just steps away
Historic downtown Bristol 1.5 miles away
East Bay Bike Path around the corner
Wake up to fresh salt air, sweeping bay views and the sound of rippling waves at this charming WATERFRONT cottage in historic Bristol, Rhode Island. Perfectly positioned ON THE SHORE, steps from Bristol Town Beach and Colt State Park, and a block away from the East Bay Bike Path, this home offers the ideal blend of spectacular views, relaxation, recreation, and classic New England coastal charm.
VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS
The Cottage features an open floor plan with spectacular waterfront views from the kitchen, dining area, living room, and primary bedroom suite. Large windows frame postcard-worthy sunsets, while a generous back deck invites you to sip morning coffee as the bay comes alive or unwind with evening cocktails at sunset.
Step down to the backyard to play corn hole, grill dinner or settle into an Adirondack chair at the water’s edge. Take a walk or borrow one of the Trek bikes (waiver required) and follow the bike path into town to explore.
HIGH-END COMFORTS
• JennAir Range, Bosch Dishwasher, and Liebherr Refrigerator
• Dining area and cozy living room with new gas fireplace
• QLED Smart TV in living room
• First-floor full bath
• First-floor bedroom with queen bed
• Upstairs primary suite with king bed, new Casper mattress & full bath with soaking tub
• JennAir Wine Fridge (in side entry hall)
• Full-size LG washer & dryer (in side entry hall)
BEAUTIFUL BRISTOL
Bristol is one of New England’s most picturesque seaside towns, known for its patriotic charm, historic architecture, and inviting waterfront. A scenic 1.5 mile walk or bike ride brings you to downtown, where you’ll find:
• Antique shops & boutiques
• Cozy cafés
• Excellent restaurants
• Striking historic homes
Favorite local attractions include Colt State Park, Herreshoff Marine Museum, Linden Place, and Blithewold Mansion. The 14.5 mile East Bay Bike Path—rated one of New England’s best paved trails—winds through scenic coastal communities from Bristol to Providence.
For a day trip, Newport is just 16 miles away, offering mansion tours, beaches, whale watching (in season), museums, shopping, and world class dining.
MORE TO KNOW
*The property features an open staircase, steps off the back deck, and steps to the shore. These may pose challenges for guests with limited mobility. For safety reasons—particularly concerning young children—we accept bookings for adults only.
*As a courtesy to neighbors, please observe quiet hours after 9:00 pm.
* Quiet enjoyment is a priority; no parties or group gatherings.
*Fireworks and outdoor fires of any kind are not permitted.
*A signed waiver is required for use of the bicycles.
*The Cottage owners live next door and are happy to answer any questions you may have during your stay. At the same time, they deeply respect your privacy and want you to enjoy an uninterrupted Cottage experience.
