About this property

Views, views and more views from every room in Oceanside Home

From the moment you walk into the lofty, light-filled entrance hall of this contemporary solar home, you know you’re in a beautifully appointed ocean-front house, where nearly every room boasts a commanding view of Martha’s Vineyard, the Elizabeth Islands, Buzzard’s Bay, Horseneck and Goosewing Beaches and Little Compton’s legendary Town Beach.

You’ll feel right at home cooking up meals simple or lavish in the eat-in kitchen, complete with stylish cookware and dishware, upgraded appliances and everything you need in one well-organized space. The kitchen opens onto an expansive multi-level deck with gas grill, dining and lounging furniture, equally suitable for lively entertaining or a quiet tete-a-tete, bird-watching, surfer watching, boat spotting or just taking in breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views.

With walls of glass, the living and dining rooms capture those same stunning views, connecting you to surrounding land and seascapes no matter where you are. An open floor plan, handsome hardwood floors, a massive stone fireplace with gas insert, modern whole-house HVAC systems and beachy furniture make these spaces equally comfortable and practical whether lounging or hosting.

The house boasts two master bedrooms with king be plus two queen bedrooms. The top floor king master bedroom is a true hideaway. With a soaring cathedral ceiling, private cantilevered deck for star gazing or solitude, unparalleled views and half-bath, it is a place to wake up gently with the rising sun or sleep late with the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the rocks below. On the main floor, the Sea Shell master bedroom, adjacent to the main bathroom, features floor-to-ceiling operable windows for maximum light and views, king bed with Casper mattress and built-in closet. The cozy Sea Glass room also adjacent to the main bathroom features a queen bed. The upgraded full bath with 50's-themed decor is shared by the bedrooms.

Downstairs on the first floor, a large room with separate entrance opens to a natural pollinator area. A secluded path bisects the wildlife garden and leads to an outdoor fire-pot and seating area. Inside, the home office suite with more glorious views of the North Atlantic, features a convertible futon couch, queen bed, and full bathroom with double shower. With hi-speed Internet throughout the house, a working vacation at this location is always an option.

Getting to your private rock beach is easy with a convenient stairway leading to the water’s edge and featuring a landing, just big enough for two people to enjoy cocktails above the surf. And after dinner you can toast marshmallows with a campfire at the on the rocks.

In addition to wi-fi, the house comes complete with cable TV with streaming option. Sumptuous all-cotton linens, towels and beach towels are included in the rental price; each bed is appointed with multiple pillows, a cotton blanket and a down comforter and towels.

Inside the two-car garage you will find EV power for your electric vehicle. Linger in the garage to admire the fabulous murals painted by the original owner, Grandpa Beau Garreau.

This one-of-a-kind house is located a short walk to the Town Beach, biking distance to the charming Commons, Sakonnet Point and Sakonnet Lobster. Also nearby are Wishing Stone Farm Market, Walker’s farm market and eatery, Young’s nursery and roadside market. Lee’s Market, the locally owned gourmet supermarket in cozy Westport, is just up the road. On the weekends, no fewer than five farmers markets are open each spring and summer.

Peaceful bliss

There’s nothing like waking up to and enjoying wide open views of the ocean. This lovely home brought us all what we were looking for: a quiet and beautiful stay on the oceanfront. Little Compton is charming. The hosts are excellent and provided additional help when needed. This is a trip we’ll remember forever!

Little Compton Getaway

Nice property with central air. Clean property and quiet neighbors. Adjacent to a right of way, we think. Had multiple people using the private stairs and landing to the water despite no trespassing sign. Not the owners fault but maybe a better sign that says the address to which this only water access applies. Upper bedroom has a great view and breeze.

Another great Christmas in this perfect house

A wonderful place to relax with family in the winter! Lots of beautiful places to walk, spectacular ocean views and the fireplace is a huge plus! This is our second year spending Christmas here and it did not dissapoint! A kitchen with everything you could need, super comfy beds, great napping couch. Hawks and deer right outside the window to top it all off! We'll be back again for sure!

Great family trip!

Beautiful beachy home with a water view that I could stare at for hours! Lots of space for a sister’s reunion weekend. Very well stocked kitchen with every spice, cookware and appliance you could need for your stay. Spent a lot of time at the dining room table, playing games, chatting, puzzling. We booked an hour at altersauna, just down the road at the beach. Loved it! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Large home with amazing views

Very comfortable and clean large home with all amenities included, located in a quiet area. The ocean views were amazing, especially the sunrises. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this home. A beach area is only a minute or two from this property. Lots of great restaurants within a short drive (recommend Groundswell Cafe & Bakery and 4 Corners Grill). Greenwood Chicken (from farm to trailer) on W Main Road in Little Compton is a must for some delicious chicken. C R Wilbur General Merchandise is unique store worth your time to experience. We visited Plymouth Rock, Battleship Cove, and Cliff Walk/Mansions. We also discovered a casino nearby.

Great location, incomparable view. Wonderful for a family stay!

We arrived early and the owner let us put our things in the garage so we could do our grocery shopping. The house was well cleaned and there is everything one could need; beach towels, grilling supplies, plenty of kitchen tools. The upstairs "treehouse" bedroom is magical.

Great view!

This is an authentic beach house with an amazing view. It is a perfect starting point for a walk or a bike ride. We appreciated the games and especially the boogie boards! The beds are comfortable. There is an outside shower with a view of the ocean! Air conditioning was appreciated on the few days it was necessary. The kitchen is small but extremely well-supplied including a spice rack!

Wonderful view

Classic beach house with a beautiful view of the ocean. The kitchen has everything you need for gourmet cooking, including an alphabetized spice rack! You can sit on the deck and listen to the waves or watch the sun rise. This is a great place for walkers, runners and bikers. The beach is less than a mile away, as is a local farm stand that also sells delicious bread . Little Compton has a good general store, cheap bike rentals and a coffee cafe. We felt very fortunate to spend a week here.

Beautiful views!

The owners provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. They were very responsive and accommodating. Since we stayed in December, we spent a lot of time indoors, preparing meals and and enjoying each other's company. The kitchen is very well equipped and the living area provides comfortable seating for 5. The LR, kitchen, and 3 of the 4 BRs have gorgeous views of the ocean. Puzzles and games are provided for down time entertainment. The area is ideal for long, pleasant walks.

Seaside Socially-Distant Escape

Shaking off the socially-distant spring, we kicked off summer with a week in beautiful, low-key Little Compton. The house is not fancy but is spotless, has everything you need, is comfortable and has a gorgeous waterfront setting with decks, a grassy lawn and rock beach super close to the Town beach. We cooked every meal in the well-equipped kitchen looking at the water, ate meals on the deck or down at the rock fire pit and rode bikes to the local farmer's market. When it was windy at our place, we went to beaches on the other side of LC. Even though it's not set to see the sunset, the sky was beautiful shades of pink and purple in the evening. Easy and prompt communication with the lovely owner and in-town manager.

Gals weekend getaway

The four of us really enjoyed the quiet setting and spectacular water views from this house. We found it to be in a very remote setting and we wished for closer shopping and at least a few possible daytime activities (we were there in winter sperhaps warmer weather offers activities). In general, the furnishings were adequate with some items in need of updating and/or replacement. The gas fireplace is gorgeous and the mattresses were great. The kitchen seating was not large enough for the 4 of us so we needed to eat in the larger, open space living/dining area. If you're looking for crashing waves and walks in the sand at water's edge this is not the place for you. It is a rocky shoreline and since it is not set directly on the open Atlantic Ocean, there were no crashing waves. Certainly this home is geared more toward rental in the warmer seasons.

About the host

Hosted by Joel Garreau

Host profile image
The Garreau house has been the family vacation home since 1953 when Beau Garreau built a modest two-bedroom bungalow for him and his wife and son. Joel grew up spending every summer leaping rock to rock along the edge of the water; clamming in Tunipus Pond and exploring the open fields and marshes around the house with his summer friends. In 1975 Beau and Glo expanded the house to its current size. Now, Joel and Adrienne live in Virginia but continued the family tradition of summer vacations in Little Compton, bringing the next two generations of Garreaus with them. Their two daughters grew up here also and, even though now busy with their own lives, they each come every year for some part of the summer. With the arrival in 2017 of Louis, a fourth generation of Garreaus is now enjoying summer vacations in Little Compton. Joel is professor emeritus attached to the office of the president at Arizona State University in Tempe. Adrienne works in community development in the county where they live in Virginia. When they are not in Virginia or traveling, they spend as much time as they can in Little Compton.
