About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront, Dog-Friendly Cottage on the Cove. In safe, quiet neighborhood.

The cutest cottage on the cutest cove with a brand new dock! Whether you’re into rosé & summer sun, hot chocolates in winter, a week off or a weekend away, Cove Cottage has water front views to help you relax, unwind and enjoy the best of Aquidneck Island.

One hour from Boston, and just 25 minutes to Newport, you have endless possibilities for what to do. We prefer taking advantage of the selection of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Take out the kayaks or paddle board around the cove, explore the Sakonnet River, take a quick trip to Tiverton Four Corners for local shops, or Little Compton and Westport for some breweries and vineyards.

Dog friendly home - and we highly recommend Portsmouth Dog Park, or taking advantage of the dog friendly beaches for long walks with your pup.
*Please note, dogs accepted only.

Just a friendly low key neighborhood with a lot to offer! And a ton of opportunity to relax and unwind.

Beautiful stay
My husband and I stayed here while visiting family in the area for Thanksgiving. It was the perfect little cottage style house on the water. Beautiful views, great location for us, cute cafe nearby, stocked with fun board games, great back yard for our doggo, and a fire pit. Luke and Cori were excellent hosts! They were communicative and offered plenty of suggestions for the area! We had a wonderful stay and would stay again in the future!

Beautiful Waterfront Property
It was perfect for our stay for a family event in the area. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard for play and it was so nice to have the space to invite family over to relax. I highly recommend watching the sunset from the porch!

Location, location, location!
This was the perfect location for us, convenient to everything but tucked away for privacy and relaxation. The fenced in yard was a plus for our pup who also loved to sit out on the dock and watch the water activity. We spent most late afternoons home just sitting on the dock or the deck watching the world go by. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great pet-friendly home. Fenced in yard was perfect for our two dogs. Communication with the host was excellent. Appreciated the kayaks offered for use, though it was a little chilly for us to use them this time around. Would recommend.

Wonderful little getaway
My wife, our dog, and I very much enjoyed our stay at this cute and wonderfully located cottage. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations. It was clean, well equipped, and we - especially our dog - really enjoyed the fenced in yard. It's close to a few beaches, 9 min to multiple grocery/shopping opportunities, 25 min to Newport. All in all a very pleasant experience. We'd definitely come back.

The house and setting were beautiful. And even in autumn, when we couldn't get out on the water, the kids had so much fun in the yard and with the board games provided. We will definitely be back, and I can't recommend it enough!

You must stay here!
This water front property is absolutely beautiful. We loved waking up next to the water everyday. You have a whole dock to yourself where you can walk out, take in the views and go kayaking. What’s even better is that it has a fenced in yard and allows my dog to enjoy these views with me! The house is very adorable, clean and comfortable. I would love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful week at Luke’s and Cori’s cottage. It is a lovely home. It is exactly as in the photos - clean and very comfortable. It is also very well provisioned. The view is beautiful and there is a lovely deck and an awesome dock. Also, a great outdoor shower. We enjoyed kayaking, hanging out on the deck and relaxing, and exploring Newport and Providence. We will be back for sure as long as Luke and Cori continue to share their home!
