The Boathouse61
The Boathouse is beautiful! It is in a great location with many things to so. It’s also about 25 minutes from Newport. I wish we could have stayed longer. Chris was very responsive to questions & accommodating to our request. The views are incredible & my husband loved taking the kayak out. Chris provides all the special touches to her place that made our stay feel very homey! We loved meeting you & Phoebe ( she is so cute & sweet). Thanks for the great conversations & we appreciated all your activity & restaurant suggestions. I really hope we can visit again.

Waterfront Studio, 10 min to Downtown Providence
We could not praise Colin’s place enough! It was easy to check in, the place was perfectly clean, and the location is unmatched. The entrance to the studio was the most beautiful of any Airbnb we’ve rented! We sat on the waterfront deck and thoroughly enjoyed the array of stunning birds that frequent the river’s edge. The pictures truly do not do the place justice. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay!

Cozy coastal tiny house getaway
We enjoyed very much our (to) short stay at this fantastic place. The small house contains everything you need and is located at an wonderful place very close to the beach. We have as well enjoyed an amazing sunset just in front of the house directly by the sea. Simply amazing! Thank you very much for everything - we only can strongly recommend the place, you won’t regret it!

Carriage House Guest Suite
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to spend the weekend. It had everything we needed. It's in a quiet garden setting. Our very favorite experience was to open the curtains to the yard and watch all the wildlife while we enjoyed our morning coffee. Wild turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, and many many species of birds, all within a few feet of the sliding glass door. We felt like we were in a fairytale. We will would love to stay again when we visit family in the area. Thank you so much for creating such a lovely spot!

Tiny house get-away with a Yellow Door
Siri was an excellent host! The tiny house is ideal for a weekend getaway. We will definitely return soon!

Wickford Waterfront 12 min to Newport & 15 min URI
Elaine has a lovely apartment. Very pristine and quiet with amazing views. Our stay was extremely comfortable. Her instructions were perfect and we had no problem with whatsoever anything. If you’re ever there do not miss the morning sunrise. Outstanding. Thank you Elaine & Rich for a lovely stay. We hope to come back some day.

Stay in Decadence | One-of-a-Kind Flat on Broadway
This was one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed at! The apartment is beautiful, the furniture was comfortable, and the shower was wonderful. There were so many small touches that came together to make this place such a gem. I especially loved the glitter in the grout of the tile in the bathroom! We also appreciated the fan in the closet for the bedroom. We found the location to be fantastic and enjoyed walking to restaurants nearby. We felt safe walking for several blocks in the area at night. If we find ourselves back in Providence we would definitely stay here again!

Downtown middletown private suite - 5min Newport
This was a very cozy stay! The location is very convenient for a getaway at Newport, just 10min drive away from the busy parts of town. Quiet neighborhood with very convenient parking for off-loading luggage, especially when traveling with a young infant.

5-STAR Cove Cottage near Newport - Walk to Beach
We absolutely loved the cottage, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a quiet, cozy cottage in the perfect location😁

Wash Pond Cottage
It is out in the woods. Very rustic. The path to the canoe was accurate. There were rocks to climb over. Our grandchildren loved the adventure!

Pet-Friendly Private Beach Oceanfront Cottage A/C
Peaceful, beautiful beach, location of this cottage was truly perfect! Had a wonderful stay 💛

Riverview beach cottage
So comfortable and accommodating. Plenty of everything you need. We will definitely book again next time we are in the area!

Beach Front Cottage in Bristol
Christine’s place was the perfect getaway for quiet relaxation. Coffee in the morning by the water can’t be beat. Meals on the patio enjoying the amazing view. The place was immaculate and comfortable. Everything you need was there. Location, view, and comfort. A slice of heaven. Christine was always very responsive and kind in her communication. Hope to return soon.

The Snug Cottage: Walk to Water-Newly Renovated
Beautiful cottage and location. Most of the local eateries( which are excellent) are within walking or biking distance, and the beaches are gorgeous. This is a place where quiet, calm and peacefulness blow in with the ocean breezes and envelope every part of oneself. A truly restful and restorative experience. Thank you, Marnee. Nancy and Peter B

A very special beach cottage in the country
Carla & Dan’s place is a great spot and perfect for our visit to RI for my daughter’s graduation from URI. This split level house on a dead end road is cozy, quiet and so easy to enjoy. There are lots of places to sit, chat with our friends, cook a meal in the well equipped kitchen and relax. The beds were so comfortable. We throughly enjoyed our short stay and want to return when we have more time. Lovely hosts, amazing spot:A+

Block to waterfront, town, RWU, drive to Newport
This is a charming, comfortable, and immaculate cottage in a beautiful neighborhood of historic Bristol. While the pictures are completely accurate, they don't capture the "feng shui" of the place -- the peaceful feeling of being inside a well-designed small house suffused with light and surrounded by trees and flowers where every piece of furniture and decor is carefully chosen and tasteful. The beds and linens are comfortable; the kitchen is well-outfitted; the backyard is lovely; the bikes are a real plus. The host has thought of most everything; there are great suggestions for restaurants, etc., in the area; the pantry and bathroom are better stocked than at most airbnb's; there is ample coffee, cream, and muffins for your breakfasts. We would definitely return. (Be aware that there are steep steps to the attractive 2d floor that some might find challenging).
Beachfront home rentals in Rhode Island

Peaceful Water Views with a Happy Nautical Theme
Wendy & Sean have created an oasis in Warwick. Decorated lovingly with an ocean of octopi, their Airbnb was so comfy, we hated to leave! We were able to take day trips to Newport, Narragansett & Providence then return to Warwick to enjoy delicious seafood dinners at local restaurants.

Relax by the bay at the Iris Breeze
Host Donna was very responsive. House and linens were very clean. The neighborhood, while quiet was not the greatest to walk with young children. The best things about this house are the kitchen, and the view. Overall it was perfect for our family while our home was being renovated.

3 BR -no guest fee-cozy beach house- near newport.
We had a lovely time at Jason's place for two nights. It is in a wonderful part of RI with great beaches and towns. The house was clean and very comfortable. Jason is an excellent communicator and gave very clear instructions for getting in, as well as managing there. Thank you, Jason!

Oceanfront two bedroom home with large deck.
The house was very comfortable and clean. The view was very beautiful! There’s a large beautiful deck with comfortable furniture. The house has a certain ambiance to it, and the history of it must be interesting.

Cottage on the Cove
We come to the area often and are glad to add this to our list of places to stay! Perfect spot to stay and feel like a local.

East Greenwich Waterfront Gem
Amazing house with epic views (night and day)—everything was perfect! 🤙

Wildwings RI on the water
This house was the most perfect find for our stay in Narragansett! We were in awe at the beautiful ocean views off the decks and in the kitchen and living room. Dana was very accommodating, responsive, and gave great recommendations. We would highly recommend Wildwings and we hope to come back!

Perfect Waterfront Getaway with Semi-Private Beach
Very nice location and beautiful view of the ocean. The house was incredible and I would go back again.
Your guide to Rhode Island
Welcome to Rhode Island
Rhode Island is the tiniest state in the United States, but you can hardly tell, because there’s so much to see and do in this place it feels anything but small. Start with 400 miles of classic New England coastline defined by beautiful windswept beaches dotted with lighthouses and clam shacks. Fresh seafood hauled from the chilly Atlantic is transformed into local favorites such as stuffies, fried globes of breadcrumb and clams served on the half shell. Rhode Island’s capital city, Providence, is an unpretentious cultural hub, home to lively dive bars, buzzy restaurants, and one of the country’s premier art colleges, the Rhode Island School of Design. Drive 45 minutes south to tony Newport and you’ll be in the land of Gilded Age mansions and yachts. Whether you decide to undertake a driving tour of colonial towns, go museum and gallery hopping, or simply pad around a sunny coastal village in shorts and sandals, diminutive Rhode Island has lots to offer.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Rhode Island
Rhode Island experiences four true seasons. Hot, sunny summers are ideal to book a beach holiday in one of the state’s many vacation rentals, while crisp fall months bring colorful foliage and classic seasonal activities such as apple picking. In winter, the landscape is transformed into a snowy wonderland, and towns twinkle with holiday lights. In spring, the warm days signal the start of outdoor festival season, and Rhode Island bustles with celebrations of jazz, chowder, and even daffodils.
Top things to do in Rhode Island
Block Island
For a true glimpse of New England living and scenery, hop aboard the ferry to Block Island, located off Rhode Island’s southern shore in Narragansett Bay. This pretty circle of green ringed with gorgeous shoreline is home to sandy coastal paths, historic brick lighthouses, and miles of old stone walls stretched across verdant farmland.
WaterFire
A trail of more than 80 bonfires is set ablaze atop the surface of the three rivers that flow through Providence, filling the canals with a warm glow and the air with the smell of wood smoke, as onlookers and musicians line the banks. Created by sculptor Barnaby Evans, the work has existed in some form since 1994, and comes alive during the summer months, and additional select days throughout the year. Check the WaterFire website for dates.
Mansion Hopping
A trip to Newport isn’t complete without ogling the opulent Gilded Age mansions here. The Preservation Society of Newport County offers tours of ten of these over-the-top temples to wealth, including The Breakers, a 70-room Italian Renaissance-style palazzo built by the Vanderbilt family. The interior looks a bit like a wedding cake dipped in gold and velvet.
