Description

Wake up to the sound of surf lapping the white sand beach and watch the sun rise up over the glistening Atlantic Ocean from your sun-splashed outdoor deck when it's warm and from your enclosed porch on cooler days. Take just a few steps down your classic New England boardwalk and dip your toes in the sand and the sparkling sea or walk for miles on a perfect stretch of beach. Take in sweeping views of Charlestown to the left, Watch Hill and its iconic lighthouse to the right and spy the cliffs of Block Island rising from the waves on clear days. This quaint summer cottage offers quintessential seaside living on one level with an open kitchen and living area with incredible ocean vistas along with one bedroom and a full bath. The Murphy bed stores away during the days for extra space making this property a perfect fit for a home office, artist's studio or writer's nook with an abundance of tranquility and natural inspiration. An outdoor shower and lower level storage add all the essentials you need, while restaurants, beach bars and night life that make the Misquamicut area a popular destination are within walking distance. Fulfill your dream of living by the ocean in this seasonal summer retreat!

    "Great place to live, I would recommend doing some research and driving around to find the best area suitable for kids. But all in all it’s a great town with close proximity to the beaches and plenty to do. "

  • Stuart Whitcomb
    "There are many outdoor opportunities nearby, like short hikes; activities through our beautiful library and in the adjoining park; and of course the ocean is a short drive from downtown. For older children there are many summer job opportunities nearby, and the downtown is safe and offers a few good options for window shopping and coffee drinks."
