The Island:
• Prudence Island is an island located in Narragansett Bay, Rhode island. The year round population hovers around 80 people.
• In colonial times the island was used for farming, until early 20th century when the US Navy established an ammunition depot on the southern end of the island, however since the early 1970s the US Navy turned over the base to the National Estuarina Research Reserve, part of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
• The majority of the land on the island is a preserve, so there are few homes and only around 80 annual residents.
• There is no real commerce on the island, although the general store at the ferry terminal does have a small selection of basics if you are in a pinch.
• Car and people access to the island is obtained via ferry, although there is a private water taxi company you can use to get passengers off the island.
• Prudence Island is a gem. Few people know of it’s existence, but those that do tend to return year in and year out to enjoy disconnecting from the fast pace of life and enjoying the quiet refuge it provides.

Summary: Very spacious cottage with a great wraparound deck for watching spectacular sunrises, outdoor dinning and shady afternoons and evenings watching the ever changing vistas. 3/4 mile from the ferry and general store. Hiking, kayaking, visited the small library, museum, but most of all enjoyed a low key relaxing vacation here.

Summary: The house was convenient and comfortable. The view of the water was constant. Good cross breeze through the house. It was nice to eat an evening meal at the picnic table on the deck and to relax in the deck chairs during the cooler parts of the day and in the evening. Access to the beach across the street was totally convenient (easy to run back and get something if you forgot it), and the beach is visible from the deck. And, the house was not far from nice walks and other water access. The fact that this rental PROVIDES SHEETS AND BOTTLED WATER made things a lot easier than other prudence rentals that don't provide them. And, although in my experience one does not really need A/C at Prudence Island, I found myself appreciating the window unit in the master bedroom. Having wifi was also a plus. The front room was a very nice place to hang out, with all the windows looking out over the water. It's not a luxurious place (no dishwasher, for example), but it's open, clean and bright. Quite a nice stay at Prudence.

Summary: My family and I have been vacationing on Prudence for over 10 years. We have friends on the island and are so comfortable with the laid back retreat. The Douglass Cottage is perfect for my family. Great views, close to the beach and my friends, ample room to stretch out and all the amenities. The extra bathroom is a godsend and the bunk room allows for kids and their friends to have their own space. The quality of the cookware and cutlery is a culinary hobbyist's dream. I like to cook on vacation and felt very comfortable in the kitchen to create. Langley, the owner, was extremely helpful and attentive. She made the process easy to book, access and depart. I will stay here every year from now on, so don't book my week, ha! Good times on P.I.and the island will provide...

Summary: This is our third year renting is the property just keeps getting better. This year, with new renovations and appliances, our time at PI was exactly what we needed for vacation. Per usual, owners were always available for quick easy communication before during and after our stay. Can’t wait for our next trip to PI!
