"Sea Glass" is a cheerful, year-round waterfront cottage with a private beach, air conditioning and heat, and Wi-Fi on a beautiful, quaint island; a 30-minute ferry ride from the mainland. Get away from the crowds and unwind as you relax while enjoying the sweeping panoramic views of Narragansett Bay. Great for families, a romantic get-away or working remote. Prudence Island offers hiking trails, beaches, kayaking, biking, and is filled with opportunities to make wonderful memories! SeaGlass is a quiet and peaceful setting overlooking the bay with a lovely porch and large sunny deck. Fall and winter is a delightful time to be on the island. The fall colors are beautiful, and a snow storm in the winter is exquisite overlooking the bay. Cross country skiing (when it snows) or bike riding is invigorating! The open floor plan allows you to visit with family and guests while working in the kitchen, along with enjoying the panoramic view. (Our kitchen is well equipped, you should find most everything you need to cook and prepare your meals.) At night, the Mount Hope Bridge sparkles as a diamond bracelet in the north, and to the south you can see the Newport Bridge. About 85% of the island is under conservation restriction. There are many well maintained trails to explore and several beaches, great for walking and finding shells. Have fun bicycling around the island, kayak in front of the house, or paddle up to the Island store for a cup of coffee and morning newspaper. Potter's Cove is a great place to kayak as well and will take you to the shore of a sandy peninsula. Digging clams and quahogs around the island is lots of fun as well. I always enjoy making a chowder! Fishing from the T-wharf pier is an experience in itself! Don't miss the Museum at the State Park. The walls inside have wonderful murals depicting water life around the island, painted by one of our island artists. There is also a small Historical Society Museum at the bottom of the hill on Narragansett Avenue with lots of interesting information about the island, including a few ghost stories! There is also a small library available, with story time for the children on Tuesday mornings, and two churches to choose for worship, depending on your faith. SO MUCH TO DO!! And we haven't even mentioned Farnham Farm! If you do visit the island, ask around. There are frequently fun events to do while you are on the island. At the cottage you will particularly appreciate the north porch as it provides a place where you are protected from the sun or rain and can still relish being outside near the water. The deck is bright and sunny during the day, and well shaded in the later afternoon and evening. During the day you can enjoy watching the sailboats and beautiful yachts as they frequently pass by on the bay. The beach can be lite up as well if you would like to have a midnight swim. Swim on your own private beach or explore several sandy beaches nearby. There is a private raft in front of the cottage, great for diving and cannon balls. We have two moorings suitable for small boats. You will have the full house to yourself. The king size bed upstairs can be made into two twin size beds which would make three single beds upstairs instead of one king and one single. There is also space in the upstairs bedroom for a fold out mattress for sleeping a child or a crib for an infant. The bathroom upstairs is large and has double sinks. When you make a reservation, please let us know your bed arrangement preference. Please note the house does NOT accommodate more than 5 adults, which would include ages 12 and above. The 1st floor bedroom has a queen bed with a bathroom across the hall. There is plenty of closet space about the house for unpacking your food goods and clothes so that you can feel at home instead of working out of a suitcase. Wi-Fi has a good signal and is reliable for remote working. Please note: No hosting of additional overnight guest at any time, including children. No sleep over parties. Our couches are not to be used as beds. Also, consistent with AirBnb policies, hosting of events or large parties is not permitted. Special needs: There are a couple of low steps to get into the house and one small step to get into the main part of the house. We can provide a transport chair, a shower seat and a commode for anyone with special needs. Please let us know if these would be helpful for your stay. We are available at via cell phone and would enjoy answering any questions regarding the house, and the island or the surrounding areas. Please contact us and let us know if you have any questions or concerns or have any special needs as it will be our pleasure to help out in any way we can. It is our hope that you will take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities the island has to offer. Sea Glass is located on a dead end street where it is safe, peaceful and quiet in a very friendly neighborhood. Islanders are welcoming and friendly in general, and enjoy guiding or helping whenever they can. You will want to drive your car onto the ferry as it will be handy to explore the island. The cottage is about a mile and a quarter from the ferry. Access to Prudence Island is only by Ferry (website: Prudence and Bay Island Transport), a Water Taxi, (with Captain Bruce), or by private boat. Contact “Prudence and Bay Island Transport” for auto and passenger schedules, prices, and reservations. You will need to bring all of your own food, drinks, and supplies as there are no restaurants on the island. However, there is one small variety store/gift shop located near the ferry landing where you can purchase staples and island gifts. Basic supplies, such as paper towels, toilet paper, and spices are provided at our cottage. There are several restaurants and markets in Bristol that will deliver to the ferry for you to pick up on the island. Bedroom 1, upstairs, has a single bed, along with a king size bed that can be split into two twins, providing the option of three singles upstairs. Bedroom 2, downstairs has one queen size bed. There is space available for a floor mattress upstairs that can be provided for a child. Prior to your visit, please advise us if you would prefer the king size bed, or the two singles size beds, and if you would like us to make up the floor mattress for your child or a Pac & Play for a baby/toddler. Also note our beach is rocky and crocs or water shoes are suggested for comfort. Ther are several sandy beaches nearby if you prefer. Our favorite time to swim is at high tide, then I don't have to wear water shoes. Also very important: at low tide our beach drops off quickly and is well over your head. No matter what the tide, it is still good swimming. We have a raft to swim out to and dive from as well. Please be advised that state regulations require kayakers to WEAR approved personal floatation devices at all times. Be sure to bring your tick and mosquito spray if you would like to walk the trails. We also have a booster chair to attach to a dining chair for a baby or toddler, gates, books and some toys for little ones. We can supply a wheelchair, shower chair, walker and commode for anyone with limited mobility.
