North Kingstown House | The Minnows Waterfront Cottage on Egret Cove

2 Bedroom House in North Kingstown

Spectacular views of the morning sunrises + captivating egrets in a private lagoon looking over Narragansett Bay. Step down off the rolling lawn to sandy bottom warm water + slide onto your floatie... away you go. Or, wade in past the minnows hundreds of feet until you reach the chill of deep water. Beautiful, high-end finishes, furniture and amenities in this very private cottage. This home is designed + appointed for mature guests only. It is my own personal hideaway for stepping off into peace and serenity.
The sandy, private community beach is maybe 1/4 mile down the road. A lot of folks just walk down in their bathing suits with their towels.... Yet, you can swim in front of our house. The water is 50 feet away, down three (can be slippery) rock steps....to a sandy bottom lagoon. Almost heated pool temp, you can walk out probably 60 feet to deeper water. Then, it deepens to cooler water. Its insanely beautiful water. Want big waves? .... Iconic Narragansett Beach...13 minute drive. Surfers on end, swimmers on the other + beautiful water !
I'm a cyclist + leave from the house 30 miles round-trip to Pt Judith lighthouse + the Block Island ferry. You can also bike into Wickford Village. Roads are easy to bike with broad shoulders on the road (one hill is big, yet worthy if you head down to 'Gansett).. You can rent bikes from my favorite shop NBX (922 Boston Neck Rd, Narragansett,).
I run our nearby by hiking trail it John H. Chafee Rome Point Preserve (1344 Boston Neck Rd, North Kingstown). Depending on the day, you can watch seals, get lost in the woods, or hike through to the rocky beach.
Best grocery store is Dave's Fresh Market Place (125 Tower Hill Rd, North Kingstown, RI)....7-10 minute drive. The cottage is extremely well stocked with condiments, mixers, basics....
Wickford Village is wonderful for shopping, dining, historical architecture and fun. I was over yesterday visiting the Kayak Center that rents kayaks, sups and pedal-boards that are so cool !! They have a fun, fun, fun event called Tuesday Tacos, where they take guests out in the Wickford Harbor on pedal boards and then head over to great little restaurant) for tacos. Tates is also a sweet little Italian restaurant and Shayna's Place a wonderful way to start the morning. Also, if your looking for the FRESHEST seafood, Gardeners Seafood at the end of main street on the wharf has an incredible selection of seafood, both prepped and off the boat. My newest favorite is Wickford on the Water offering a full bar and yummy casual menu. They have an equally great little spot, in Jamestown (JB's on the Water) with hands-down the best view of Newport Bridge and indoor as well as outdoor dining.
We host adult guests only. WE DO NOT HOST or ALLOW CHILDREN VISITORS in our home, due to building structure, personal decor and proximity to the water/rocks. Thanks for understanding.
For longer stays over a week, we have a complimentary mid-stay linen/towel change and light cleaning.

Summary: Our Thanksgiving week could not have been more cozy and relaxing for my two college boys and me. This home is beautifully and thoughtfully designed for waterfront living. The hostess offers an impeccably clean and efficiently stocked home with plenty of empty, open space for all personal provisions. Amy has mastered true hospitality with this gracious offering. The vast ocean views from every room are truly restorative. And the proximity to Newport doubled our fun. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us, we will be back!

Summary: This home is spotless and very well cared for. My husband and I were amazed by the thoughtfulness of this owner and she thought of everything. The water view is literally outside the sliding glass doors and it is wonderfully quiet and restful. We genuinely look forward to coming back for a longer stay.

Summary: The house was as pictured in the listing and did not disappoint. Every amenity you could ask for was provided. The location for us was perfect. We were on the water and close enough to everything without being in the center of the hub bub.

Summary: We had a fabulous time during our stay. The home is even more beautiful in person! Amy was a great host and her attention to detail was evident . She was available through every step of the process... just a text or a phone call away. She was very friendly, and had great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Although the weather did not cooperate the whole week, we did enjoy some beautiful scenery and especially the morning sunrise. This was by far one of our best vacations. We will definitely be back! Thanks again for a great experience, Amy! Pam G. and Family

Summary: This place was perfect. The view of the water was awesome. We really enjoyed sitting out by the water in the evenings, we also took the paddle board out for a spin. The kitchen is well stocked so we were able to cook a few meals in. Everything was comfortable, just like being at home. Lots of blankets, pillows, towels and dimmers on all the lights to make it extra cozy at night. And the little groundhogs were an added bonus and fun to watch. Hope to be back!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay ! This property is exceptional , wonderful views of the water from all windows! The house is immaculate, decorated beautifully, and the best stocked home I have ever stayed in ! Amy is very accommodating and provided lots of recommendations for restaurants, as well as things to do in the area! The neighborhood is lovely and there is a small beach a short walk down the road. Be sure to take the ferry to Newport from Jamestown , we loved seeing all the boats and is a very pleasant short ride ! The house is in a great location, very centrally located , right next to Wickford, and close to Jamestown, Narragansett and Newport ! I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing vacation in a beautiful spot !!!

Summary: Stayed at the Minnows while attending the Senior US Open in Newport. It was conveniently located for Newport and close to Wickford Village and Jamestown for dining and shopping, and Jamestown Ferry. Amy was a great communicator, attentive to every need, proactive and very accommodating, offering us the option to extend our stay when a last minute opening came available. If you're looking is this area, this home has it all and if its available, book it!
