Very centralized location. Short drive to Westerly for major shopping,or head north up to Charlestown mini-super. Great store for fresh baked goods, has butcher shop, local seafood and anything else that you might need. To support buying local there is a farm stand at the beginning of the road for fresh produce. If you like to fish, this house is for you. Fantastic right off the dock.Beautiful stone patio on the waterfront to sit and relax, or up on the deck for unbeatable sunsets. Not good for swimming in the breachway, the current super strong.Slack tide, it's possible. Head over to the pond or beach.The house itself needs updating and a little maintenance, but, is comfortable enough. I wasn't looking for a Newport mansion like the last reviewer. Direct waterfront homes exposed to constant salt air Always need something fixed or replaced. The owner was great to deal with, returning all my numerous emails. To sum it all up, if your looking for a quiet place to relax, unwind, fish, watch the wildlife, sunsets, this is the place to do it. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us. We had a wonderful time.
