BRISTOL TOWN BEACH & SPORTS COMPLEX
Ideal for fitness and fun, the town beach also offers an impressive sports complex for beach volleyball, tennis, basketball, bocce ball, horseshoe, and roller hockey. Additionally, it features a playground for younger children, a skate park, grassy picnic grounds, multiple fields for team sports, and a safe swimming area with seasonal lifeguards on duty.

COLT STATE PARK
Colt State Park, known as the 'Gem' of the RI State Parks System, offers spectacular, panoramic views of Narragansett Bay and 450+ acres of groomed trees, flowering bushes, manicured lawns, and picnic groves. It also features 4 miles of bicycle trails, 10 large play-fields, a historical museum, a public boat ramp, a fishing pier, and Mill Gut Pond – an ideal waterway for bird watching and digging for quahogs and other clams.

NEAR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN BRISTOL
Walk, bike or drive the 1.5 miles to beautiful downtown Bristol and enjoy a wide range of dining, drinking, entertainment, and shopping experiences near the water. During the summer, Bristol is well known for its Independence Day Parade and Festivities (celebrated annually since July 4, 1785) as well as it’s free summertime concert series in Independence Park.

WATERFRONT LIVING
The home features 3+ bedrooms (3 queen beds and 1 twin bed), 2 full baths (as of 2024 remodel) and an outdoor shower --- perfect for rinsing off after a day on the beach. It is fully furnished and comes with everything you need for day-to-day living and year-round entertainment. In addition to the 1st floor living room for lounging and TV watching, there is also a cozy 2nd floor entertainment room with another TV for the kids.

With central heating & brand new, high capacity mini-split systems on each floor for air conditioning, the home is quite comfortable year round. There are also several fans around the house if guests prefer that option, but often with the cooling breeze off the water, just opening the screened windows and doors is perfect!

The new backyard decks (one on the back of the house and the other by the seawall) offer exceptional sunset views and are ideal for outdoor living.

The large grassy backyard is shaded by two beautiful Silver Maple trees and provides a wonderful playground for cornhole, badminton, ladder ball, frisbee ring toss, lawn bowling, lawn pong, croquet, or just lounging in a hammock. This equipment, along with beach chairs, a new Weber BBQ and several adult bicycles (with helmets & locks), are all available for your use. Our guests are also welcome to use our sporting equipment (i.e., tennis rackets & balls, volleyball, and basketball ) at the Bristol Town Beach & Sports Complex which is just steps away.

PREVIOUS RENTER COMMENTS
• Great Location! – “Our family of five had a wonderful time in Bristol! The views from the house are amazing and proximity to beach, bike path, and park made this a perfect vacation home. We would definitely stay again.”

• Elegant home w/ killer sunsets - could not ask for more – “The home and town of Bristol are BOTH so so lovely and full of character and charm. Bristol is very centrally located to the major attractions in Rhode Island. The bike path and Colt State Park are minutes from this home and both are absolutely incredible. Last, but not least, the views (right by the water!!!!) and the sunsets were breathtakingly beautiful. And for those with small kids, I traveled with an eight-month-old, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old, and we felt right at home. The kiddos were also thrilled to have a playground and a gorgeous park within a five-minute walk from the home. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer. We only stayed for five nights but a month would truly be incredible. Thank you for making this vacation truly unforgettable.”

• Great House and time in Bristol, RI – “My family and I had a great time on summer vacation in Bristol. The house was wonderful and fits our needs exactly. The beach access was a real treat. Needless to say, the sunset views were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make meals. The location was very convenient to Providence and all of the sights in Newport. Bristol is a great place to just relax. We will definitely be traveling back to this great house in Bristol.”

• Just beautiful – “If you’re are looking for a beautiful spot to unwind, this is your place. The house is beautiful and serene and the view cannot be beat. Enjoyed time in the morning watching snowy egrets fishing while sipping coffee and in the evening with cocktails while watching the sunset. Quiet neighborhood literally steps away from Colt State Park and a half hour drive to Providence or Newport.”

• Ideal location – “Great location with well-appointed rooms. The kids’ bikes were a big hit and we enjoyed getting out every night. Went to Blount Clam Shack for chowder and lobster rolls. Nice spot! Grays for ice cream.”
