Photos and Description of the Narragansett Pier vacation house rental
5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, sleeps 8-10

'Rugosa' is a historic Arts & Crafts residence that once housed the modern art collection of Lois Orswell, whose father built the house in 1920. Rugosa is located at Narragansett Pier 300 yards from the open ocean of Block Island Sound and 400 yards from Narragansett Town Beach, one of the finest on the East coast. The house is comfortable and very private, surrounded by stone walls and mature trees, on 2 landscaped acres, and includes gardens, a fish pool and a badminton court. The house has been well-maintained, and the kitchen was recently modernized. The Narragansett town center is only 0.7 miles with gourmet shopping and dining, and the charming town of Wakefield only 3 miles. Narragansett is without the summer crowding of historic Newport, but the latter is only 20 minutes by auto.

Summer Music Festivals: Newport (20 minutes by auto) - Jazz Festivals (2); Newport - Folk Festival; Newport - The Newport Music Festival (Classical); Kingston (10 minutes by auto) at the University of Rhode Island - Kingston Chamber Music Festival.

Sports: Surfing, Kayaking, Tennis: Surf board rentals are available at two locations in Narragansett Pier (1/2 mile).

Kayak rentals are available at Middle Bridge on the Narrow River (3 minutes by auto), which flows (1/2 mile) into the ocean just north of the Narragansett Beach.

Tennis courts (5, hard surface) are available at Sprague Park in Narragansett (3/4 mile).

My vacation this year is taking me out of the country to Italy and to Prague. We all think of Rugosa with great affection.... Possibly, we will be able to return to your charming house.

We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful house. We made wonderful meals in your amazingly outfitted kitchen, and really loved the birds, chipmunks and garden. Such a beautiful respite from the hubbub of the city. Thank you so much...for opening your house and outfitting it so well for visitors.
