Beautiful waterfront home with spectacular sunset views over Narragansett Bay with 3+ bedrooms, 2 full baths & an outdoor shower. Located in the charming and historic seaport of Bristol, Rhode Island -- close to both Newport and Providence.
* Remodeled & converted upstairs 1/2 bath to full bath in Jan 2024 -- a beautiful new upgrade!

The home offers convenient, backyard beach access and is located on a quiet, dead-end street that is just steps away from the Bristol Town Beach, Colt State Park, and the scenic East Bay Bike Path running 14.5 miles from Bristol to Providence. It was also recently featured in 2 articles in Rhode Island's Only In Your State publication.

• Article 2: There's a Breathtaking VRBO Tucked Near this Rhode Island State Park

BRISTOL TOWN BEACH & SPORTS COMPLEX
Ideal for fitness and fun, the town beach also offers an impressive sports complex for beach volleyball, tennis, basketball, bocce ball, horseshoe, and roller hockey. Additionally, it features a playground for younger children, a skate park, grassy picnic grounds, multiple fields for team sports, and a safe swimming area with seasonal lifeguards on duty.

COLT STATE PARK
Colt State Park, known as the 'Gem' of the RI State Parks System, offers spectacular, panoramic views of Narragansett Bay and 450+ acres of groomed trees, flowering bushes, manicured lawns, and picnic groves. It also features 4 miles of bicycle trails, 10 large play-fields, a historical museum, a public boat ramp, a fishing pier, and Mill Gut Pond – an ideal waterway for bird watching and digging for quahogs and other clams.

NEAR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN BRISTOL
Walk, bike or drive the 1.5 miles to beautiful downtown Bristol and enjoy a wide range of dining, drinking, entertainment, and shopping experiences near the water. During the summer, Bristol is well known for its Independence Day Parade and Festivities (celebrated annually since July 4, 1785) as well as it’s free summertime concert series in Independence Park.

WATERFRONT LIVING
The home features 3+ bedrooms (3 queen beds and 1 twin bed), 2 full baths (as of 2024 remodel) and an outdoor shower --- perfect for rinsing off after a day on the beach. It is fully furnished and comes with everything you need for day-to-day living and year-round entertainment. In addition to the 1st floor living room for lounging and TV watching, there is also a cozy 2nd floor entertainment room with another TV for the kids.

With central heating & brand new, high capacity mini-split systems on each floor for air conditioning, the home is quite comfortable year round. There are also several fans around the house if guests prefer that option, but often with the cooling breeze off the water, just opening the screened windows and doors is perfect!

The new backyard decks (one on the back of the house and the other by the seawall) offer exceptional sunset views and are ideal for outdoor living.

The large grassy backyard is shaded by two beautiful Silver Maple trees and provides a wonderful playground for cornhole, badminton, ladder ball, frisbee ring toss, lawn bowling, lawn pong, croquet, or just lounging in a hammock. This equipment, along with beach chairs, a new Weber BBQ and several adult bicycles (with helmets & locks), are all available for your use. Our guests are also welcome to use our sporting equipment (i.e., tennis rackets & balls, volleyball, and basketball ) at the Bristol Town Beach & Sports Complex which is just steps away.

Prior to our ownership, this property was also listed on HomeAway by the previous owner and received all 5-star reviews. For your reference here are the comments left by past renters:

PREVIOUS RENTER COMMENTS
• Great Location! – “Our family of five had a wonderful time in Bristol! The views from the house are amazing and proximity to beach, bike path, and park made this a perfect vacation home. We would definitely stay again.”

• Elegant home w/ killer sunsets - could not ask for more – “The home and town of Bristol are BOTH so so lovely and full of character and charm. Bristol is very centrally located to the major attractions in Rhode Island. The bike path and Colt State Park are minutes from this home and both are absolutely incredible. Last, but not least, the views (right by the water!!!!) and the sunsets were breathtakingly beautiful. And for those with small kids, I traveled with an eight-month-old, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old, and we felt right at home. The kiddos were also thrilled to have a playground and a gorgeous park within a five-minute walk from the home. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer. We only stayed for five nights but a month would truly be incredible. Thank you for making this vacation truly unforgettable.”

• Great House and time in Bristol, RI – “My family and I had a great time on summer vacation in Bristol. The house was wonderful and fits our needs exactly. The beach access was a real treat. Needless to say, the sunset views were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make meals. The location was very convenient to Providence and all of the sights in Newport. Bristol is a great place to just relax. We will definitely be traveling back to this great house in Bristol.”

• Just beautiful – “If you’re are looking for a beautiful spot to unwind, this is your place. The house is beautiful and serene and the view cannot be beat. Enjoyed time in the morning watching snowy egrets fishing while sipping coffee and in the evening with cocktails while watching the sunset. Quiet neighborhood literally steps away from Colt State Park and a half hour drive to Providence or Newport.”

• Ideal location – “Great location with well-appointed rooms. The kids’ bikes were a big hit and we enjoyed getting out every night. Went to Blount Clam Shack for chowder and lobster rolls. Nice spot! Grays for ice cream.”

    We had a fantastic long weekend, and Byron and Robin were very thoughtful hosts. The home was beautiful and clean, and we really enjoyed the stunning location on the bay. It was the perfect spot for a weekend reconnecting with old friends over a home cooked meal & cozy atmosphere, and we hope we can come back soon.

    We rented the property with friends. The home was immaculate and the decor was very nice. The Kitchen was well stocked, the Living Room had fun things to do and the Bedrooms very comfortable. The views of the water were breathtaking, and we enjoyed exploring the park next door. The area was very quiet and the Town of Bristol very charming. We would highly recommend and hope to come back one day.

    Top notch host - solid 5 stars - thank you Byron! Everything was exactly as described in the listing. Very clean, updated, lots of hooks (that’s a big one) and extras - instructions for everything at your fingertips - I wish all rentals were all like this! Very thorough with everything you could possibly need during your stay and more. We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Bristol with our daughters. Thank you!

    This beachfront cottage was perfect! Immaculately clean, well equipped, great aesthetic. This was perfect for our family and one of the most comfortable lodgings I have ever stayed in. Quiet neighborhood but close enough if we needed to run out for something. Proximity to playground was a plus. Host was lovely to work with. Hope we can stay again in the future! Thank you!!

    We loved staying in Byron & Robin’s bayfront home in Bristol. It was beautiful inside and out, had everything needed. 5 Star home! Byron was super helpful, sending us so much information about the area, things to do, grocery stores, pharmacies etc. before our stay, he also kept in touch with us while we were there. He even brought us a bottle of wine on arrival day. We highly recommend this home for vacation and has plenty of room for families. Hope to be there again

    This was our fourth year staying at Byron's and Robin's beautiful home. That in itself speaks to the experience in this jewel of a beach house. It's impeccable, the linens are soft (and their fragrance is fresh and clean), and everything you would ever need is within the home. It's quiet, it's relaxing, the neighbors are friendly and you have your own private beach. What more can you ask?

    This is such a lovely spot! It was our second trip to the cottage and the location was perfect for our long stay and active children. We waded on the shore, played in the backyard with the (many) provided lawn games, walked to the nearby sports complex and state park, tracked ships heading to port in Providence, and saw fireworks from almost every window during the 4th of July weekend. A bonus for bikers and exercisers: the East Bay Bike Path is a gem and cuts right through this neighborhood.Hosts Robin and Byron are welcoming, friendly, and attentive. It's easy to see how they end up with repeat guests.

    This is a fabulous property in a fabulous location. Located at the water's edge, the beach house affords spectacular sunset views over Narragansett Bay. At low tide you can walk to the adjacent town beach in a few minutes or take a wooded path to the town sports complex with basketball, soccer, tennis, and a whole host of sporting activities. A short walk or drive away is magnificent Colt State Park, the jewel in the crown of Rhode Island oceanside amenities. The park includes biking and walking paths, fishing pier, campsites, and EV charging.Byron and Robin are extremely generous hosts who have designed and furnished the beach house with their guests in mind. They live nearby and promptly respond to questions about the property. Check-in is effortless with a programmed lock on the front door. The house is equipped with all the linens, towels, kitchen utensils, appliances, sporting and beach equipment, board games, and streaming services that you and your children might wish for.The view from the large master bedroom is spectacular and solid curtains block out the early morning light.The hosts have compiled an amazing binder full of recommendations for dining and adventuring in historic Bristol and nearby Newport, Providence, and New Bedford. Wonderful restaurants abound in Bristol, among them the Lobster Pot, with live music on the weekends, and the epicurean DeWolf Tavern. The beach house is a perfect vacation home!

    We had a wonderful long weekend stay at Byron's beautiful waterfront home celebrating our daughters graduation from Roger Williams University! It was an incredible location, clean, updated and beautifully appointed with every amenity needed. It made for a great location for our family to gather close to town and the university for all of our events. It was so peaceful and relaxing to all be together overlooking the water, and plenty of room for our family to have their own spaces. Our favorite spot was all together on the deck or down near the water sitting in the chairs! Bryon was so helpful, informative and flexible and such a quick and responsive communicator. We can't wait to come back to our home away from home Bristol again soon, and Bryon's home is our first choice! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family for such a great celebration!

    The location and view from the house were perfect. The amenities, including the availability of bikes, were great. The kitchen was stocked much better than we could have anticipated. We were able to bike extensively, especially within Colt State Park. We were able grill at dinner time and sit on the porch with a wonderful view of Narragansett Bay. In addition, the owners were very welcoming and provided extensive information about local eateries and attractions.

    We had an exceptional stay in what I call a “perfect slice of paradise”! This home is impeccably taken care, more necessities than you could ever use and don’t get me started on the location. The property sits next to Colt State Park which we walked & biked through every day. The bike trail is less than a block away and the view from the back of the house is outstanding! There is a sea wall with attached deck furnished with adirondak chairs to relax on at waters edge. This is our 1st visit and we are already booked for 2025. Lastly, Byron is friendly, professional and should you need would be there for assistance.
