Ocean View Waterfront Vacation Getaway | House in Portsmouth
4 Bedroom House in Portsmouth
For weekly summer rentals only with Saturday changeovers in June, July and August, this is a beautiful eight-room waterfront home with sweeping sky and ocean views from almost every room.
Enjoy cathedral ceilings, bluestone fireplaces, large bay windows, hardwood floors, & oriental carpets. The open floor plan embraces the living room, dining area, kitchen, and adjoining library. It is furnished with contemporary furniture and original works of
art, much of it of southwestern influence.
Two master bedrooms have king beds and sliders to decks. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds. The 4th bedroom is a 13' x17' space we call the Cabana, under the main deck. It's an apartment-like room with a/c, a1/2 bath, French doors, and two double-bed futon sofas for sleeping or relaxing.
Our home has a large, open and fully equipped kitchen with a modern gas range, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and all necessary utensils. The dining room table seats 10-12 with glass sliders to large, furnished deck overlooking the water; and a tree-shaded back lawn with hammock & recliners.
Water Amenities: This is a waterfront property. Guests enjoy broad, 180 degree water view of the entire Sakonnet River Passage, a mile-wide body of water between the Portsmouth and Tiverton shorelines in Rhode Island, extending 18 miles from Mount Hope Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. The full length and width of the Skonnenet River Passage is visible from this home, extending to the Atlantic Ocean on the far horizon.
The home is safely located 16 feet above sea level. Steps lead through the main seawall to a lower grassy terrace about 2,000 square feet in area and just a few feet above sea level. This grassy terrace provides excellent wind-protected sunbathing, a handy small boat storage and rigging area, and a fire pit for evening ocean-side conversation and enjoyment. The southern boundary of the property extends to the water's edge at high tide.
Swimming: Swimming is excellent. Guests access the beach from the grassy terrace area. The beach is stone on a sand base covered with golf ball to cue ball sized smooth stones and seashells. Beach socks or sandals are recommended. (We have about a dozen pairs of beach socks in various sizes which you are welcome to use.) The bottom is gently sloping and uniform across the front of the property and is very safe for wonderful swimming unless the public is notified by the State of Rhode Island of specific beach closures for any reason. The water temperature is warmed by the Guff Stream, rising to 75 degrees by late summer. When miles of white sandy beaches and Atlantic ocean surf are wanted, we drive 20 minutes to Horseneck Beach in Westport, MA; or to Second or Third Beach in Newport, RI. or to Scarborough in South County, RI. (Maps are provided showing more than 100 fresh and salt-water beaches in RI.)
Restaurants & Services within walking distance: Lots to do! Within walking distance are five restaurants and two bars that run the gamut from Pete and Flo's (famous for fried clams since 1939) to the delicious casual dining at 'Fifteen Point Road.' We also recommend 'Grazianio's 501 Park Ave Cafe' for breakfast and lunch. A children's playground, a marina, public boat launching ramp, fresh seafood, and a good wine and liquor shop are all only a short walk away. At Founder's Brook, 1.4 miles away on Boyd's Lane, is a memorial graden to Anne Hutchinson, who came in 1638 as a founder to Portsmouth after her famous trial and banishment from Puritan Massachusetts for her pursuit of religious and political rights. The Hutchenson home (long gone) was built by her husband on Blue Bill Cove about 1000 yards from our house. Historic Newport, 'America's First Resort' is just eight miles South!
