About this property

Old fashioned designer front porch living by the sea with expansive water views.

Bristol Sails Cottages by the sea offer 3 enchanting Nantucket style Hydrangea and Rose Cottages perched overlooking the ocean! Each Private Cottage begins beyond the rose Arbor and seashell drive. Stroll down the shelled ocean path towards your own sweet private storybook sea cottage. The first, Oceans Cottage has long been loved by mariners for its Nantucket cottage charm and spectacular sparkling clear ocean view! Lift your spirits watching Billowing sails throughout the day and twinkling stars over the ocean by night! (Thus I coined our name Bristol Sails Cottages). Are You Looking for the Sea? Our
three quiet 'Nantucket Style' sea side cottages are here and are all newly renovated. They are a seaside boutique experience here in Bristol, Rhode Island. They are perched directly on our private beach front properties and offer sparkling waters, soft summer breezes and rhythmic waves on the sea shore. Our cottages have been filmed for their sweet Nantucket charming appeal and been in a recent Nantucket based movie. The first of the 3 Bristol Sails Cottages is Bristol Sails Oceans Cottage, the second is Bristol Sails Sea Dreams Cottage and the third is Bristol Sails Beach Cottage. Each of the three Nantucket Beachy Sea Side Cottages offer two bedrooms overlooking the soft breezy tranquil waters and offer a panoramic view of the Mt. Hope Bay. For most of us a dream of floating would involve a boat and water or a magical ride in the air. But here at Bristol Sails Oceans Cottage you’ll soon feel the powers of the ocean that uplift you as you feel suspended here on the deck overlooking the ocean surrounded by the sea! You are not dreaming! Should you spend time down on the beach you will soon feel smoothed like sea glass by the tides and will certainly leave your cares behind! A great way to rest listening to the lapping waters. We offer two newly remodeled bedrooms each with either a romantic King sized mahogany canopied bed or mahogany Queen sized carved pineapple four poster bed made up for a King or a Queen in luxurious designer linens! The new white wicker furnished deck at Bristol Sails Oceans Cottage offers an old fashioned white wicker love seat, white wicker rocker, stylish glass umbrelled dining table and comfortable cushioned chairs for al fresco dining by the sea! All seated around an outdoor gas fireplace and perched overlooking the water! The perfect spot to sip your morning coffee watching the red sunrise or have a glass of wine watching the captains billowing sails go by towards their open sea adventure. A balmy night, the moonlit sea, a soft breeze, the infusion of fresh sea air throughout the house, sultry music together with a dazzling view of twinkling lights across the bay bridge make for one of the most memorable evenings of the summer! You won't want to leave your front porch! The coastal appeal, cushy down pillows, hand rolled towels and your personal platter of treats awaits your arrival!

Nantucket Hydrangea Oceans Cottage has 7 glass transomed sliders giving you a spectacular waterview while laying on your cushy leather living room couch reading or resting. Step off your new white wicker furnished deck and just 5 steps down you will find the sounds of the seashore clearer on your large private beach patio. Fall asleep on the padded chaise lounge chairs to the sounds of the lapping waves and wake to the faint cries of the gulls. A few steps now and your are on the beach. Our quiet New England cove beach is not a busy public beach and offers lots of seashells and seaglass for those passionate treasure hunters! You will have beach front chairs for you here as well as tropical umbrellas for shade. We have kayaks for seafaring adventurers to paddle over to the nearby swans, bird sanctuary and preserve land. Anglers….There is great fishing here right in front of the cottage striped bass and blue fish are favorite catches. Many Rhode Island records have been caught just down the beach! The open Living room has a leather couch, Oak fireplace, open floor plan, high ceilings, beachy white bead board, glass kitchen cabinets filled with our Blue and White English China. The kitchen features a glass top stove, oven and farmhouse sink. Second and third cottages are also available next door each with individual accompaniments and boutique experiences. The cottage is surrounded by bright blue periwinkle hydrangeas. A secluded beach front hideaway and breathtaking ocean front views.

Calm mornings offer mirrored seas when all you can hear are the sea birds. Dramatic days watching the billowing sails of Captains Ships glide by against the sparkling waters. Evenings where the big sky is filled with stars over the twinkling of the distant bridge.

Spending a week is not enough time to adventure everywhere.

Autumn in Bristol - In early autumn the low slanting rays of the sun illuminate the tops of the sea grasses and the now amber purple heads of the hydrangeas that were once a bright periwinkle blue over the summer. Harvest Festivals, Quahog Festivals and Farmer Markets abound in Bristol and local near by towns.

Behind your door, a personal platter of treats is left for you in the fridge upon your arrival, along with european soaps and fine spa products to add to your seaside experience here. We are open winter, spring, summer or fall. We decorate for each season and suggest visits during our towns celebrations each season. Fourth of July is the pinnacle of excitement here in Bristol Rhode Island. This year celebrating our 238th Bristol Fourth of July Celebration! Old Glory! The flag, the pride, the pledge, the cannon, the fireworks, the freedom to celebrate and honor those who sacrificed! This pride of our country is celebrated here in Bristol, Rhode Island all year and at Bristol Sails Cottages! An exciting experience right down to our Red, White and Blue stripped streets! Although there is much to do here, many of our guests just spend their time on our patio outside overlooking the beach relaxing on our comfortable padded chaise lounge chairs.

Some of our guests fish directly in front of the house for their catch of the day. You can shell all day and walk the beach or kayak. Anyone who wants a get away for a special occasion or just a vacation, this is a special place to come and not far from any adventure, including the fantastic Newport Mansions, Polo Grounds, Roger Williams Zoo, the stately homes of Bristol, our favorite casual restaurants, golf, etc...
Come prepared for anything, or just bring your flip flops and enjoy being at home on the beach!

Adorable space with awesome view!
We arrived to find a big platter of appetizers and yummy cinnamon rolls which were well appreciated and enjoyed. This home was so great and super comfortable. We loved staying here so much! It was in the perfect location as my son lives near Wickford. It was a little staycation for him on his birthday. We have stayed in hotels in the area but this was so so much nicer. We sat outside by the fire pit enjoying appetizers and watching the very active bird/fish action! Waking up to the sunrise was such a treat, what a view. Can’t wait to return.

Bristol Sails Cottages, a Slice of Heaven!
We had an incredible stay! The cottage was clean, cozy, inviting; with the ocean right outside the front door; such a very peaceful, private yet convenient hideaway in the lovely town of Bristol, RI. The owner, "Dee," treated us with a bountiful welcoming gourmet food tray, was friendly, accommodating, and very responsive. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to just relax and enjoy the sea air in a home away from home! Thank you so much Dee for everything! Danalynn & Dave, Massachusetts

About the host

Host profile image
We are a romantic couple who love the beach and small historic seacoast villages. We live in a lovely historic town in Massachusetts however love the coast and the milder temperatures of Bristol, Rhode Island. We have built several homes in the past and I am an interior decorator and we loved the challenge of taking a historic home on the ocean and creating a home away from home by the sea. It's a hard place to rationalize owning if you don't share it with others. There's no place like the beach!

Why they chose this property

We were fortunate enough to have an opportunity to buy a lovely 'Nantucket' style rose cottage on the beach in a private, quiet neighborhood in Bristol, RI. This quaint town is still a treasure that no one has found! We are far enough removed where we are located in Bristol but near every amenity. We don't have to take a plane or a boat to get to our beach house. It is an easy drive for us and most people to get here. There is so much to do and not the hustle and bustle that some of the more tourist towns can have. The unique restaurants, antique stores, boutiques and parks are within our bicycles reach! We get up in the morning and look at the red sunrise over the ocean as we sip our morning coffee and our neighborhood heron greets us on the beach.

What makes this property unique

The sound of the ocean lapping against the shore in front of the house is mesmerizing. The spectacular view of the sailing boats billowing by the house is why we named it Bristol Sails. The Swans that visit are all gentle reminders you are on the beach and can enjoy the peaceful life here. Stay home all day and enjoy it in flip flops, cook outside and enjoy the outdoors or get ready to adventure everyday to a newly discovered spot in Bristol or neighboring towns. Unique treasure hunting at the local antique or upscale consignment shops is fun or taking in a Polo match, golfing or picnics in Colt State Park are fantastic!
