The Minnows Waterfront Cottage on Egret Cove

Spectacular views of the morning sunrises + captivating egrets in a private lagoon looking over Narragansett Bay. Step down off the rolling lawn to sandy bottom warm water + slide onto your floatie... away you go. Or, wade in past the minnows hundreds of feet until you reach the chill of deep water. Beautiful, high-end finishes, furniture and amenities in this very private cottage. This home is designed + appointed for mature guests only. It is my own personal hideaway for stepping off into peace and serenity.

The sandy, private community beach is maybe 1/4 mile down the road. A lot of folks just walk down in their bathing suits with their towels.... Yet, you can swim in front of our house. The water is 50 feet away, down three (can be slippery) rock steps....to a sandy bottom lagoon. Almost heated pool temp, you can walk out probably 60 feet to deeper water. Then, it deepens to cooler water. Its insanely beautiful water. Want big waves? .... Iconic Narragansett Beach...13 minute drive. Surfers on end, swimmers on the other + beautiful water !

I'm a cyclist + leave from the house 30 miles round-trip to Pt Judith lighthouse + the Block Island ferry. You can also bike into Wickford Village. Roads are easy to bike with broad shoulders on the road (one hill is big, yet worthy if you head down to 'Gansett).. You can rent bikes from my favorite shop NBX (922 Boston Neck Rd, Narragansett,).

I run our nearby by hiking trail it John H. Chafee Rome Point Preserve (1344 Boston Neck Rd, North Kingstown). Depending on the day, you can watch seals, get lost in the woods, or hike through to the rocky beach.

Best grocery store is Dave's Fresh Market Place (125 Tower Hill Rd, North Kingstown, RI)....7-10 minute drive. The cottage is extremely well stocked with condiments, mixers, basics....


Wickford Village is wonderful for shopping, dining, historical architecture and fun. I was over yesterday visiting the Kayak Center that rents kayaks, sups and pedal-boards that are so cool !! They have a fun, fun, fun event called Tuesday Tacos, where they take guests out in the Wickford Harbor on pedal boards and then head over to great little restaurant) for tacos. Tates is also a sweet little Italian restaurant and Shayna's Place a wonderful way to start the morning. Also, if your looking for the FRESHEST seafood, Gardeners Seafood at the end of main street on the wharf has an incredible selection of seafood, both prepped and off the boat. My newest favorite is Wickford on the Water offering a full bar and yummy casual menu. They have an equally great little spot, in Jamestown (JB's on the Water) with hands-down the best view of Newport Bridge and indoor as well as outdoor dining.


We host adult guests only. WE DO NOT HOST or ALLOW CHILDREN VISITORS in our home, due to building structure, personal decor and proximity to the water/rocks. Thanks for understanding.
