About this house rental
'Starboard Watch' is a quaint seaside cottage located 50 yards from the water. A comfortable porch offers a great view of boats entering and leaving Sakonnet Harbor, along with the coast of Newport in the distance. There are two beaches within walking distance (.5 and .8 miles). Other beaches and restaurants are a short drive away.
The Sakonnet point area of Little Compton offers a beautiful setting for seaside relaxation and recreation. The Point is a common destination for road bikers and those simply out for a Sunday drive but limited access means the area is calm in the busy summer season, and very quiet and serene during the shoulder months.
Enjoy fishing off the rocky shoreline or harbor breakwater, or maybe just crabbing with your kids. Ride your bike; swim at the beach; walk 'the Loop'; or just chill on the porch with a good book. You won't find a more affordable elegant setting than Starboard Watch on Sakonnet Point.

4 old friends and 1 young dog spent July 4th weekend in this absolutely delightful cottage. The house is even lovelier than the photos let on -- stunning views, cozy in the best sense, with lots of bedrooms that are each so appealing it's hard to choose among them. We cooked in on our first night, ate on the porch and watched the fireworks across the bay. It was mostly cloudy the remainder of our stay, but we walked to Lloyd's beach one day, drove to the town beach on another, and loved both. We dined out, played games, drank wine, went for walks and laughed a lot. Warmest thanks to Buck for providing the ideal setting and making it all so effortless. He's a wonderful host, answered our few questions quickly and kindly, and left a welcome note and bottle of wine for us. We are already dreaming of a return visit!

We spent a great week during the 4th of July at Starboard watch! The property was as pictured if not better - we spent the majority of the time when at the house out on the porch enjoying the views. Kitchen was well appointed and we did use the charcoal grill on nights when we stayed in. For groceries, Wilbur’s General Store in town had basically everything needed without having to travel 30 minutes to Fall River or one of the larger cities for groceries. Buck was very responsive to all messages and checked in with us! We appreciated the area guide with maps to beaches and restaurant recommendations. We spent most of our days at Tappen’s Beach, which is an easy 20 minute walk from the house. Looking forward to our next trip to Little Compton!

The property was as advertised (cottage), which suited our needs perfectly. The kitchen was stocked with all needed pots, pans, appliances, cleaning products, firewood, and more. All enjoyed their stay.

the house and scenery are amazing and will definitely recomend to others. One downfall I would mention is the 20-30
ride to a store for necessities.

The house is just as described. It is lovely and cozy with fabulous views. The porch indeed takes you in and provides an ideal spot to unplug. The view is spectacular early morning and provides a wonderful vista for sunsets. There are nice places to walk nearby and the kitchen is easy to use. I would love to return again!

We had the loveliest stay! The home is tucked away on a gorgeous property, and I enjoyed daily swims off the swimming rock followed by an outdoor shower. My 90 year old grandmother joined and soaked in the ocean views and breeze from the porch. The town has some gems as well... We got local strawberries off the road and made the most divine strawberry tiramisu. Thank you, Buck and Cady!

This rental property was absolutely amazing, and 100% true to the listing. I spend a long weekend here with friends (and our dog) over Memorial Day.
The listing was accurate to description and pictures; SO beautiful. The location was perfect; somewhat secluded with views for days, close to the water where we would have swam if it was warm enough out. The yard is beautiful and clean, perfect for hanging out and taking in the views... sam goes for the porch. The cottage itself is old with so much charm. Though we had a cold weekend, we layered up and had no problems. Beds were comfy, kitchen had all the necessary tools, and the living toom was quaint and cozy. The hosts were just a text away and quick to respond as needed.
20/10, would rent again!!!

The house is very pretty and charmingly decorated, and our communication with the kind owners was very easy. The house is, as I believe the listing describes, a bit rustic, which for us meant we were a bit chilly on late June rainy days (the house is not insulated, in keeping with classic summer cottages), found the kitchen a bit old in terms of appliances, etc, and some other aspects of the house felt a bit worn. That said, it felt like a very well-loved and well attended-to home overall (some sprucing up potential notwithstanding), and the location on Sakonnet Point, views, gorgeous large property, many aesthetic charms of the house, and general vibe were lovely. We were delighted to enjoy the spot and our time there. When the sun is shining (or setting!), the sea, rocks, sweeping lawn, sky are just breathtaking, and uplifting. Thanks for a very nice visit!

This was our second stay at Starboard Watch, and once again we loved it. The location just can't be beat. The cabin is very rustic, so don't come expecting anything fancy.

Rustic charm, an amazing view, beautiful yard and gorgeous area, great place to just relax and go with the flow. You can travel to nearby sites like Newport and Horseneck beach or just enjoy the small beach nearby. We had a wonderful week here.

Cozy with a capital C! Very cute cottage by the sea with a huge yard that we enjoyed as a family. Space heaters in most rooms and a fireplace in the living area kept the space cozy despite some rain and New England chill. Highly recommend for a quaint getaway

Wonderful Week!
We loved our vacation - this is a beautiful house and spot. The house was exactly as pictured, with everything you need and water everywhere you look. We spent hours on the porch looking over the bay and the harbor, and it was great to have such a nice front lawn to make use of. We walked or biked most days to the sandy beach down the road, went fishing, and just relaxed. Little Compton is a real treasure - just lovely - and the house to us seemed to have one of the nicest locations in the town. We had no problems at all and definitely hope to go back next summer. It was perfect.

Gorgeous location!
We loved staying at Starboard Watch and hope to stay there again in the future. As promised, the view from the porch is amazing. We spent a lot of time on that porch, and also at the picnic table. We loved being able to walk/bike to Lloyd's Beach, jumping from the giant rock in Sakonnet Harbor, watching the boats come in/out, and of course experiencing all of Little Compton, a town that we truly love. The house was very comfortable and in good shape. Views from three of the bedrooms are amazing. It is a wonderful house for getting away from everything!

A perfect New England beach cottage
Starboard Watch is a quintessential New England beach cottage filled with rustic charm and gorgeous views. Even though this was our second visit, we always leave wanting more.

If you want to unwind and recharge your batteries, this is the place to go. A fantastic view over the water, stunning sunsets, a breezy patio overlooking a well kept lawn. A nice mile long walk to a fairly deserted beach. Owner and caretakers are very nice people. Though there were only the two of us and our dogs, it would be ideal for a large family, plenty of bedrooms and beds. I'll gladly go back again someday.
