Perfectly situated charming home 2 blocks from the water and downtown Bristol

Built in 1880 by a sea captain for his daughter, this historic vacation home is just two blocks from the Narragansett Bay. This sun-filled home boasts three bedrooms, 1 full bath, large modern kitchen, living room and library. Relax in the private backyard and enjoy cocktails or coffee on the sundeck.

This home is located in historic and charming Bristol, Rhode Island. Flanking the sea, the town is peppered with restaurants, parks, boutique shops and antique stores. Stroll, jog or bike on the scenic rail trail in town while enjoying views of the Narragansett Bay. Also situated in town, Colt State Park is a beautiful oasis offering a private beach, hiking trails, and picnic and sporting areas. The park is appointed with stone walls, groomed fruit trees, flowering bushes, and manicured lawns. Bristol is home to the oldest 4th of July Parade in America. This home is only 1 block from the parade route. Celebrate the festivities include the 2 week concert series, carnival, and fireworks.

The house is conveniently located just 13 miles north of Newport. Newport offers beaches, shopping, restaurants, and Gilded Age mansions. Enjoy the Cliff Walk along the shoreline. Interested in art galleries, nightlife, and local culture? Providence is a quick 25 minute drive north. Also, Block Island is easily assessable via ferry.

This tastefully decorated, well-appointed vacation home welcomes you to relax and enjoy.

This home sleeps 6 guests: There are 2 queen beds and 1 full bed in the bedrooms upstairs. The couch in living room is a new and comfortable pullout.

We are located just 25 miles from T.F. Green Airport.

Charming home close to downtown and RWU
We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location -- walking distance to shops and restaurants in downtown Bristol, and close to Roger Williams University. The hosts were extremely attentive, it was warm, well-appointed, super clean and charming. We stayed here for RWU Parent's Weekend and we loved having the option to drive or walk to whatever we needed. Short drive to RWU, so it made it all easy for all of us. Great weekend, and we would definitely stay again!!

Quaint House in Bristol
This house was very convenient to restaurants, shops and the water. Comfortable, quaint and well decorated. It’s true that the parking situation is a challenge- we had 2 cars and with a lot of maneuvering, we’re finally able to get them both in the driveway. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would come back in the future!

Perfect place for graduation!
Our family stayed at this beautiful house when my son graduated from RWU. The house is charming, spotless, and beautifully appointed. We appreciated the “extras” - shampoo/conditioner, coffee, spices, condiments in kitchen, as well as extra sheets and blankets. A great find in the lovely town of Bristol!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! It was gorgeous, perfectly located and comfortable! The only thing I would say is that the driveway does not fit 2 cars. But other than that we would definitely stay here again! Walking distance to restaurants and waterfront. Loved it!
