An alternative to generic condominiums, our unique little cottage is in the heart of Watch Hill. You can walk to two beaches, the oldest 'flying horse' carousel in the U.S., and shops and restaurants in minutes. The cottage is also a short walk from the Ocean House resort hotel and the Watch Hill Chapel.

The Ice House was originally the kitchen/ice house for the larger home on the property, which was later converted to a separate home. The house has a loft-like first floor, withopen living and dining room, and a full kitchen with counter seating. There is a new flat screen TV, a pull out couch, and a vintage 1930's Hoosier cabinet and dining set for four. The bathroom is also located on the first floor, has a 'claw foot' tub with shower, and mini washer and dryer units. The cottage has a Caribbean color scheme overall, with a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings and art.

On the second floor, the master bedroom has an antique double bed with romantic net canopy. The second bedroom has two antique iron twins and is perfect for families with children. Both bedrooms are air conditioned. Outside the bedrooms is a cozy sitting area with a vintage rattan couch, chair, computer desk and small flat screen TV.

Please note that, while the cottage sleeps 6 in a pinch, we will rarely accept a reservation for 6 adults due to the size of the house and the septic system.

The deck on the front of the house has a dining table with umbrella, chairs, occasional tables and a small grill. Please note that the cottage does not have a lawn - but we do have a lovely deck for al fresco dining and cocktails. And the large public park area at the gazebo on the harbor is great for Frisbee and ball play.
Also please note that there is parking for 2 cars maximum. If both are very large (large SUVs for instance) there will not be room for 2.

    So glad to be back in the Ice House! Our small family enjoys this cozy cottage in just about the best location imaginable. The owner was attentive as always, and the kitchen and bathroom are stocked with what you need. Thanks for a great stay!

    The whole process was simple from start to finish. I had a few contacts with the host and she was fabulous answered all my questions and was a pleasure to deal with. The house is old but it is charming and quaint. Plenty of room for my sister and myself we chatter on bedroom the outside deck is wonderful and you can feed a four block walk to the beach. The house is in very quiet secluded area and it night or we heard with the waves crashing in the morning or we heard with the birds chirping

    My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It couldn’t have been in a better location, convenient to both beach and town yet peaceful and quiet. Our only disappointment is the bathroom. The shower and sink were difficult to use.

    Cottage is charming. Doors do not lock. Stairs to 2nd floor are treacherous. No blinds on the windows so no sleep after 6am. Probably not the best choice for a wedding weekend. We were uncomfortable leaving valuables in an unlocked property. But the host was gracious and Ice House is sweet.
