Photos and Description of the Prudence Island vacation cottage rental
1 bedroom, 1 bath (another shower outside), foldout couch in LR, sleeps 4

This home is a waterfront gem on Narragansett Bay, located on the neck of Prudence Island, overlooking Bristol Harbor to the east and Potters Cove to the west. We have our own stairway leading to a private beach below which offers a 300 lb. mooring and pulley line for smaller boats. On the south side of the neck (down our lane and across the street) is a lovely, quiet sandy beach perfect for morning walks or runs, skinny dipping and quahogging. Return from the beach to a relaxing outdoor shower. Our large backyard is surrounded by a 6 foot cedar fence leaving 100 feet of uniquely private uninterrupted, panoramic views of the bay. These bay views can be enjoyed off of the large waterside deck, on the sleepy hammock or in front of the firepit.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Prudence Island, Rhode Island

House Layout: Hardwood floors throughout, our home is a quaint, one-bedroom cottage with a queen-size bed and pull out couch which sleeps two. The kitchen is galley with granite countertops. The bathroom has a stackable washer and dryer and custom tiled shower.

The Basics: A ferry is required to get to and from Prudence. There are no shops or restuarants on the island. There is one general store and a few local farmstands. The house is two miles from the ferry homestead in a very private neighborhood. Prudence is perfect for sailing, boating, beach combing, walking and biking. Since many of the roads are unpaved it is suggested to bring your mountain bike. With a large backyard and sprawling views of the bay, our property is an ideal venue for small, private wedding ceremonies (2 so far!).

Bristol: The ferry leaves from downtown Bristol, Rhode Island. Bristol is an historic harborside town speckled with quaint shops, restaurants, bars and ice cream stands. Bristol offers a convenient excursion for our guests as it is not necessary to bring your car. You need only leave your vehicle at the ferry homestead and walk right onto the ferry.

Great Cottage - Fishing and Claming was excellent

Review Submitted: October 13, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We had a great time at the Cottage. The only downside of the cottage was a lightly stocked kitchen there were hardly any useable knives and only 1 wine glass, also need to have Lobster pots and some larger saute pans also the TV in the bedroom was not working. But otherwise the place was great our dog Bailey loved the backyard and we all enjoyed the walks on sandy beach. We also loved the views from the backyard and enjoyed the firepit. I fished just down the road at a cement pier and caught lots of scup and small bluefish, I clammed at dead low tide over on sandy beach where jennys creek empties into the bay scraped up lots of littlenecks and top neck clams and boy were they great you will need to bring your own clam rake and bucket though as the cottage has neither. There were lots of wild apple and pear trees and the fruit was amazing also the island provides some of the best views and the water quality is great. You can fish off the old navy pier and i'm sure in October the Blackfishing (tautog) and Striper fishing is great, Also you can get all the bait you need on the island at low tide just turn over some rocks and there are loads of small green crabs that are Tog candy plus the large chowder clams can be dug in any shollow bay. We would go back there again. Gave 4 stars only because of the Kitchen stated above.

Major Relaxation

Review Submitted: September 19, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Terrifically relaxing as advertised. My wife and I stayed after Labor Day and it was Island laid back. Water was warm for snorkeling, not quite the Caribbean but fun anyway. Biking was great. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Folks on the island are friendly. Eclectic music selection - Joe Jackson "Look Sharp" - haven't heard that in a while. The setting is so nice - we almost lived outside - the yard is terrific and at night with a fire and Mt. Hope Bridge in distance with a full moon - couldn't beat it! Jim & Kristin were easy to deal with. All in all it was what we hoped for when we booked our vacation.

The best place to be, on the Prudence Island !!!

Review Submitted: September 15, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We rented Towers house for the weekdays , as it was available only for two days ...it's booked throughout summer !!! Now we know why :)
Its the best place to be on The Prudence Island with best view !!!! The house is cozy , comfortable ,nicely done with all the amenities ... They dnt have curtains on the windows and the bedroom doors have glass so that you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Bay from inside the house too..it's awesome..the sunrise , sunsets ..is what you pay for !!! Natural beauty at it's best..If you are going there with kids, take their toys along.. You can play on the yard , take a stroll down the rocky beach, laze on the hammock , grill , enjoy the firepit and have fun ...go outside for an island tour , take some pics with the deers ;) The people on the island are very friendly !!!
The house is stacked with good books, nice music player with CDs, and movies too !!! Dnt be surprised to find pet hair everywhere on the floor and carpet, even if you are not taking one , as the house allows pets :( but I am sure Towers can take care of that !!!

Would definitely recommend to a friend and love to go back !! A boat will be like icing on the cake...We are Nature lovers and so enjoyed every bit of our stay !!! The views are mesmerizing !!!

Loved it!

Review Submitted: August 31, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
Island is rustic and beautiful...driving through the woods and the road just opens up to incredible water views. Deer, turtles and other wildlife. Trails and bike paths all over. Home is so cozy, well kept and clean. Deck and grill are perfect. Yard and views are amazing. Stayed with our 2 kids, 14 and 12, and our dog. They all loved running down the steps and jumping in the water first thing in the morning! Used our kayak all week in the bay. Found random fun beaches on the island to visit each day! Nick's seafood will take lobster/clam orders paid w/cc by phone and deliver to you on the ferry - really reasonable and so good! Spent a night in Bristol and ate at Quito's - took the water taxi back...expensive, but so worth it. Find the self-serve veggie stand - best zuchini muffins and bbq sauce! Futon is a double, we brought an air matress and it was perfect. Outside shower was cool. Bring all your food/drinks with, store at ferry was open, but is expensive. Overall, for the price and the location, you could not ask for a better vacation!

Wonderful Vacation

Review Submitted: July 13, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We rented the Towers house the last week of June 2011 and had a wonderful time. It was my husband, myself and my 2 sons and we all loved it. Very relaxing, the views of the water are amazing as also the sunsets . We did a lot of exploring and learned how to find clams, which my boys thought was pretty cool. We met a lot of very nice people on the island, and everyone knew a lot of the history of the island. We took the ferry back to Bristol RI 2 times that week which was a very cute town with shopping and good food to enjoy and all decorated for the 4th of July. We didn't really know what to expect before arriving in Prudence since we had never been there, but we are very happy that we got to have our vacation there. Also we got to bring our dog who had a wonderful time exploring the island with us.
Thank you.
