Charming, Classic New England waterfront cottage

Charming waterfront cottage in a family friendly neighborhood.
Well appointed cottage with all the updated amenities you'll need to feel right at home.

This lovely cottage has plenty of room for everyone. Enjoy your morning coffee/tea in the sunroom or evening drink out on the porch watching a magnificent sunset. Spread out on the large sectional couch and watch a movie on the big screen TV with soundbar.
The main floor has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a Queen size bed, coastal style furniture and large double closet. The second bedroom has 2 brand new Twin beds, dresser and closet space.
The lower level of the house offers a comfortable bonus room with a large screen TV & Bluetooth soundbar, a built-in desk for setting up a office space, plus a new Queen size sleep sofa to entertain your guests. In addition, there's a full size laundry room and storage for all your beach stuff!
Winter '23 NEW FULL BATHROOM added to lower level to accommodate additional overnight guests.

The centrally located home is easily accessible to all major routes and local attractions. Newport is a short 20 minute drive, spend the day exploring the Gilded Age mansions, take a scenic tour of Ocean Drive or visit Fort Adams State Park. Don't miss the enchanting Cliff Walk with panoramic ocean views.

Located on the northside of Aquidneck Island, Portsmouth provides the perfect location to access all the area attractions. Visit the historic village of Jamestown right over the Newport Pell bridge, take a short drive to explore Historic Tiverton Four Corners or enjoy the beaches in Little Compton. A quick drive over the Mt Hope Bridge is the seaside village of Bristol where you will find an active waterfront filled with restaurants, shops and cafes. Be sure to visit Colt State Park with lovely walking trails, picnic spots and an open air Chapel-by-the-Sea.

Common Fence Point is one of those neighborhoods that people love to visit and live. There's direct water access across the street where you can swim, kayak, or sunbathe. There's the local playground, baseball diamond and of course the brand new CFP Community Center which hosts exercise classes, kids activities, music events, movie nights, plus a little corner store to pick up basic items or sandwich to take to the beach, and all are within walking distance from the house.

Enjoy digging your toes in the sand and catching a wave at the beautiful local beaches, then stop at the local clam shack for a lobster roll!

There is always something to do, regardless of the season, in the beautiful state of Little Rhody!

Vacation in Portsmouth, RI
This property had an amazing view of the water and we really enjoyed watching the dog walkers each day. Cleanliness was top notch (new white socks that stayed white!!). Bathrooms and mattresses were exceptional. Heat, wi-fi, tv all worked well. Communication with the owners was wonderful. Decor was very tasteful. (Only suggestion would be less decorative pillows.) Overall, I would say this is a perfect vacation getaway and would recommend staying here.

Gorgeous, clean home in a beautiful neighborhood!
We stayed here for our wedding weekend (got married in Tiverton nearby) and would love to come back for our anniversary next year! It was spacious, clean, and the hosts were super responsive with any questions that arose before or during the stay. The decor was lovely, the natural light and view off the deck were spectacular, kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed and the check out instructions were clear and concise. Our wedding photographer also loved the house and there were great spots within walking distance for photos.

Wedding weekend
The cottage was just perfect for our needs. It was a little smaller than it looked on line but no problem. It was so well equipped also. The only problem we had was the weather. It didn’t cooperate for this wedding. The host was exceptional with our requests. Would love to go back in the summer to enjoy the view.

Had an amazing week with friends at this perfect spot with great views of the waterfront. Coffee and cocktails on the deck every day with beautiful sunsets was the best. The cottage was well equipped and most relaxing and comfortable. Hope to be back in the future! Noelle and David easily reached if needed and made sure we had everything we needed..

Slice of heaven
Noelle’s Coastal cottage is a slice of heaven that surely satisfies a seaside dream vacation. The corner lot location touts a well groomed yard brimming with flowers and delightful breezes off the bay. The interior of the cottage is beyond awesome with every convenience provided. The hand chosen decor is fitting, the furniture most comfortable. Each room has an overhead fan and the bedroom storage is very ample. We spent a great deal of time reading in the sunroom with the expansive bank of windows overlooking the water. Our favorite place was the deck. We spent every morning and happy hour admiring the boat traffic. The awning was a perk enjoyed late afternoons and during the evening sunsets. We opted to cancel several proposed day trips and relish the sights from the deck instead. Since we ate out often, we didn’t take advantage of the well equipped kitchen. We did however use the new gas grill a few nights. Although we didn’t use the lower level, it too is newly renovated and tastefully decorated. Working with Noelle was a definite pleasure as she constantly strives to make sure her guests are in need of nothing and comfortable. Our 2 week stay in this charming Common Fence neighborhood was over the top. Our hope is to be able to return to this little slice of heaven for another memorable vacation.

Beautiful and Relaxing Home and Location
Perfect spot overlooking the bay with easy morning and evening walks along the quiet side road or the beach. The home was as advertised and we wanted for nothing. Our hostess, Noelle came by to make sure we were comfortable and to address any questions we may have had. I would not hesitate to stay here again, probably one of the best, if not the best rentals we’ve ever had. Close to both Bristol and Newport so a perfect location for sightseeing.

Peaceful water views, shell beach, near Tiverton/Little Compton
We had gotten married in Portsmouth 28y ago, wanted some more room, needed to stay near Providence (25min drive) for Memorial Day wknd. True to photos on website, upper level of home has living areas/sunroom/deck to view sunset/bridge/water. Local shell beach right across street, neighbors walking dogs, feels v safe. Coastal Roasters nearby, open 6am. Easy drive up to Boston last day to catch flights. Don't forget to bring your own drip coffee (if getting in late, leaving early like we did!)

Just the view we wanted!
Seaside Cottage gave us the perfect view we were looking for while on our vacation in Rhode Island. We knew it would be cool and overcast but we still wanted to enjoy our morning coffee while relaxing on the wonderful front porch overlooking the water. It just made for a great start to our day. Check in and check was very accommodating, the cottage was wonderfully appointed with a comfy sofa, great bed linens, well equipped Kitchen, and tons of windows for a great view. We enjoyed every moment and plan on coming back! Thank you for the attention to details! Kendra and Allen

What a beautiful home! Very clean, very comfortable and incredible views right in front of you! There were five of us for a girl’s weekend, and this house was perfect. It’s in a nice, quiet & friendly neighborhood. A great area for walking or biking. We had cocktails on the front deck watching sailboats and a beautiful sunset.

This is a beautifully updated cottage with a great water view. It’s in a quiet neighborhood. The beach is across the little street. The cottage was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for at home cooking. The location of the cottage is perfect for exploring coastal Rhode Island. The cable TV is limited in channels, so if you don’t have streaming apps, get them, if you are planning on watching much television. You will love everything about this house. And the homeowners? Well, they are lovely caring people, who will make sure that your stay is perfect! *If you have mobility issues, please be advised that the stairs to the basement are very steep.

Nice property. I especially liked sitting outside on the deck with the available sun shield. Having coffee grounds available would have been nice so we could make coffee. Found black strands of hair when pulling back sheets in both beds that were used.
