Come enjoy our relaxing getaway situated in Jamestown on Conanicut Island. In addition to the many wonderful things to see and do in Jamestown, it is a short drive (or foot ferry) to Newport or Narragansett activities and beaches. The house was build on the 1890s and has been in our family for five generations. It has been lovingly updated with a modern kitchen, a small full bathroom (the only bathroom is on the first floor), and open floor plan downstairs. Three bedrooms, each with window AC units, are upstairs with new beds and bedding. The kids room has two twin beds. The master has a king bed and the guest room has a queen bed. If you turn off the AC and open the windows you can hear the fog horn from Beavertail lighthouse on foggy nights.
The house has a sunny front porch with a table perfect for board games, cards, puzzles and art projects.
The house is a short walk to the local beach, Mackerel Cove, the nautical playground (with an amazing bakery across the street) and the shops and restaurants downtown. Our boys love the Jamestown Fire Department Museum to see the antique fire trucks.
The island offers a peaceful getaway. There are several working farms, which give the town a laid back rural feel, with all the culture of Newport and the big beaches of both Newport and Narragansett just a bridge away.
While we are delighted to share our family home with our renters, we do not permit gatherings at the home. We do this out of respect for our quiet neighborhood and to preserve our family home.
