About this cottage rental

Before making a reservation, please understand that Prudence Island may not be the best choice if you have events to attend on the mainland. Please make an inquiry first to make sure a stay on Prudence Island is a good fit for your activities in the area. Thank you!
Quiet, remote, escape from the big city...this is Prudence Island. Our cottage is very simple, but extremely adequate to sink into Prudence and forget the mainland. The Island offers an unhurried pace of life and is like a step back in time. You will find no commercialism here. When you board the ferry in Bristol, Rhode Island, leave all your stress on the dock. If you are looking for the buzz of big city night life or the excitement of a theme park, then you have come to the wrong place. If you are looking for total relaxation and a renewal of your spirit, then Prudence Island is for you.

Prudence Island is a whale-shaped island in the center of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Accessible only by ferry or private boat, it feels like a million miles away, but is only a short distance from Providence-Rhode Island's capital, and the mansions of
Newport, Rhode Island. There are no motels, restaurants or convenience stores, so plan on bringing everything you need. If your in-laws decide they need to pop in during your Island vacation, they need to know in advance that there are no instant accommodations on the Island. They will stay with you, eat the food you have brought and deplete your toiletries. There is a very small store that carries some essentials, but there is no guarantee they will be operating or open when you need them. Of course, you can leave the Island and go to the mainland, but you may not want to.

There are several websites and Facebook pages on the internet to help you better get a feel for Prudence and the exciting areas around the Island to visit during day trips. Prudence Island, The Farnham Farm, Prudence Conservancy, Newport and Bristol Rhode Island are all good searches to start with. Explore the Internet, then make your reservations to explore one of the world's little pieces of heaven-Prudence Island.

A stay at this house is beautiful in any weather. Whether it's hot beach weather, cool and breezy, or raining, the island is a beautiful place, and experiencing it at this house is lovely. Great view. Lovely yard. The dining area on the porch, with comfy chair, single bed and broad view of the water, is the heart of the house. What does one do on Prudence Island?-- Walk, swim, read, chill. You might not even want to turn on the TV in the living room, though there are plenty of DVDs to choose from if you want a movie night. There are also some games there for family fun. The outddoor shower at this house is great for every shower, not just for after swimming. The folks across the street will take your compost so you don't have to worry about getting rid of food garbage when you leave. Very convenient.

The house is very basic. More like a camp but the view is spectacular and served us well.

Second time staying here and it was even better than the first. We packed up like we were camping. Sleeping bags, towels, cooler filled. The kitchen is fully stocked with all supplies you could need. Our days were spent swimming and adventuring the island. Our nights were relaxing on the porch with an amazing view. It’s a little hidden gem for sure. Owners are very welcoming and receptive to the needs of the renters. 5 star.
