Our classic island cottage is located in the Homestead neighborhood on the corner of Narragansett Ave and Pier Rd. We are across the street from the ocean and within a short walk to the ferry landing. We have a panoramic view of Narragansett Bay and a large enclosed front porch from which to enjoy watching the boats sail by. The beach is quiet and perfect for a morning walk to Sandy Point and the Lighthouse.

Each year, we make minor upgrades to the cottage. This year we replaced the light fixtures and added ceiling fans throughout. We also added WiFi for our guests. In 2020, we upgraded the electrical service and re-glazed the tub. In 2019, we replaced the outdoor shower.

The cottage has hardwood floors throughout. The two bedrooms each have a full size bed and the front porch has a daybed and trundle for extra sleeping space. The kitchen includes a gas range and a microwave. An outdoor shower, charcoal grill, and a washer and dryer, located in the garage, are provided for your convenience.

Prudence Island is located near the geographical center of the bay. To get to the island, a Prudence & Bay Islands Transport ferry from Bristol provides transportation for you and your vehicle. Once there, this quiet island provides the perfect environment for sailing, boating, beach combing, fishing, hiking and biking. In World War II, the Navy established an ammunition depot on the southernmost 400 acres which they turned over to the State of Rhode Island in 1972. Today the former base is now the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve where you can still find bunkers and the T-Warf pier. Approximately 85% of the island is in conservation easement and there are miles of hiking trails which help you explore the island.

Although there are no restaurants on the island, you will find a small general store and a few farm stands where you can purchase fresh eggs and vegetables.
