Portsmouth House | Ocean View Waterfront Vacation Getaway

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!

Summary: We are repeat visitors to this comfortable home right on the banks of the sakonnet River for a reason. Amazing views, you can hear the water and feel the breeze from the deck, walk down to the shore and stroll on the beach. Restaurants within a walk or easy drive. Ocean beaches and other attractions 20 minutes away. Everything was clean and comfortable. This house works perfectly for our family!

Summary: My family and I had an amazing week in Portsmouth! The house was clean, spacious, and just like the photos! It had all of the amenities for a large family and there was plenty of room for cribs or pack n plays! The deck was perfect to sit out on for cocktails and reading. We had a blast playing on the grass, soaking in the views, and enjoying family time. There were a few restaurants and bars within walking distance and Newport was a quick 30 min drive away. We would definitely rebook. Communication with the hosts was the best we have experienced! They truly cared that we had a great experience!

Summary: Our group of 10 had a great week here (6 adults, 4 little ones). The view of the water from the dining area was beautiful at all times of day. The house was comfortable and full of light. We enjoyed walking to close-by ice cream stands. Our favorite driving excursions were to Horseneck Beach and Second Beach.

Summary: My family and another couple had a wonderful week in this home. It’s views are great as well as the town. It’s a short ride to Newport. The owner is very organized which made it easy to check in and out. There were various notes around the house on how to use things which was helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Summary: Wonderful views through large windows, comfortable beds, a friendly neighbor/caretaker (thank you, Sharon), short trip to Newport and Tiverton Four Corners and a flexible owner who worked with me on the number of days we could stay and a cleaning fee because of our ages and disabilities. Thank you, Mac.

Summary: We had a lovely time at this property in Portsmouth! Sitting out on the deck looking out at the ocean was the best! The house itself could use a bit of updating and decluttering, but the location was amazing. You can walk to several restaurants and there was a great coffee shop nearby which we really liked! Mac and his property manager, Sharon, were so friendly and easy to work with. They were very attentive and quick to respond to any question or issue. We had a very enjoyable time!

Summary: We are returning guests and this is our second visit to the home. We love it here! The views and beach access are worth a million dollars. Also, it’s so private but short walks to tons of restaurants and snack shops. Great location to explore the area - very centrally located. The house has everything you need and has a very well stocked kitchen. We cooked a lot of meals and could even bake and all the supplies we needed were there. The beds are comfy and so much space! Sharon and Mac are lovely and accommodating. They are responsive to any problem or questions that may come up. I highly recommend and we will be back again!

Summary: We had 2 families staying here together for a week summer vacation and it was just perfect. It was amazing to wake to the beautiful views of the water and the sounds of the beach. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen table was perfect for dinners in or board games at night. We were able to launch our kayak right from the beach. It was terrific to walk to get ice cream and even to a wonderful dinner right up the street at 15 Point Rd Restaurant- I would highly recommend. The deck with the unobstructed views anytime of day or night was so relaxing. Outdoor shower came in handy. The location was terrific for heading down to Newport or just staying local. The Newport Car Museum( not in Newport) but about 10 minutes away was well worth the trip on a cloudy day. Would definitely recommend this house. Thank you Mac for sharing your home with us.
