Wonderful Prudence Island Cottage with 180 Degree View of Narragansett Bay

Our classic island cottage is located on Prudence Island which can be accessed via ferry or private boat. If you need access to the mooring, please reach out for details.

We’re in the Homestead neighborhood, on the corner of Narragansett Ave and Pier Rd, across the street from the ocean, and within a short walk to the ferry landing. We have a panoramic view of Narragansett Bay and a large enclosed front porch from which to enjoy watching the boats sail by. The beach is quiet and perfect for a morning walk to Sandy Point and the Lighthouse.

Formerly known as Avalon, we renamed the cottage At Ease - exactly how we feel when we’re here. We hope you have the same experience! Each year minor upgrades to the cottage occur during the off season. We have begun a window and siding refresh and rebuilt the little screen porch. With the electrical upgrade, we replaced the light fixtures and added ceiling fans throughout. We also added WiFi for our guests. You’ll love the new outdoor shower!

The cottage has hardwood floors throughout. The two bedrooms each have a full size bed and the front porch has a daybed and trundle for extra sleeping space. The kitchen includes a gas range and a microwave. An outdoor shower, charcoal grill, and a washer and dryer, located in the garage, are provided for your convenience.

Prudence Island is located near the geographical center of the bay. To get to the island, a Prudence & Bay Islands Transport ferry from Bristol provides transportation for you and your vehicle. Once there, this quiet island provides the perfect environment for sailing, boating, beach combing, fishing, hiking and biking. In World War II, the Navy established an ammunition depot on the southernmost 400 acres which they turned over to the State of Rhode Island in 1972. Today the former base is now the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve where you can still find bunkers and the T-Warf pier. Approximately 85% of the island is in conservation easement and there are miles of hiking trails which help you explore the island.

Although there are no restaurants on the island, you will find a small general store and a few farm stands where you can purchase fresh eggs and vegetables.

My friends and I stayed in this cottage and beautiful island for the Fourth of July weekend and had a splendid time. I felt greatly at ease during the vacation as we walked around the neighborhood and visited the cute store across the road. We loved our scenic beach walk to the oldest lighthouse in RI and skipping rocks there. I would highly recommend it here if you're looking lovely vacation.

Hi House was good and as described. But there are extra fees that you should review before booking. For us, the initial price was mich less than the final price with “host charges”, “booking charges”, etc added in the final bill. Not sure we have booked it if we had added it all up. Caveat emptor.

The property was just fantastic, fully equipped with everything we needed, beautiful views, location was amazing especially for someone coming without a car since it’s across the street from the ferry & the little store. My family of five had the best time. Thank you!

Across from the ferry and general store as stated. 3.5 miles down to T Wharf. Excellent hiking trails through shaded woods paths. Sunset trail terrific as well. Bring extra bike tire tubes.... Terrific vacation destination. Thank you!

We had a wonderful quiet, peaceful old timey vacation — walking, exploring, fishing, reading, chatting, playing board games, watching the boats and ships pass by, enjoying the breezes and the morning mists, evening sunsets, outdoor shower, and home cooking. No WiFi, no AC — and we didn’t turn on the TV. Quality time — loved every minute!

Pictures do not do this listing justice! The place was very clean and had more amenities than expected. It is a very peaceful space with an excellent view. The ferry situation can be challenging, but the walks on the island can fill the time on the island easily. Also surprisingly, the ferry itself is actually a fun experience! You can really unwind and relax here. Loved it and hope to come back soon!

We love Prudence Island ! We've been coming here for over 10 years. This was out second year at Avalon, and it's just the right fit. All amenities are perfect in this house. A great place to unwind from the chaos and simply relax. We will be back. Mark McHugh

Beautiful home, with the most amazing sunrises. Early bird gets the worm. Get your camera and coffee and go sit on either of the porches. Or grab your chair and sit outside for the most beautiful show. Watch the ferry ⛴ and hear the horn blow when they say goodbye to the island! Walk to the little and only island store and say hello to Lorie. Visit sandy Beach, the T warf, sandy point, potters cove and watch the sunset on the west side at sunset trail. Take a walk through the many trails and find kindness rocks. Explore the beaches for interesting treasures. Pick some rocks, bring some paint and leave some all over the island for other islanders or visitors to find. Join heard around the doc on Facebook. So you will know whats going on while your there. The home will have you feeling at home, and a lot like being a kid again yourself. Remember before you hit the hay, to try out that brand new outside shower. Have fun! You will love this place and the island it sits on.

Beautiful island and convenient location near the ferry, but quite run-down. Electrical system is antiquated and fuses frequently blow. Needs a deep cleaning. Lacking some basic supplies like paper towels.

Enjoyed the time on the island at the beach, and fishing.
