David's house on Bonnet Shores is quirky, cozy and well loved the way any good New England beach cottage should be. It has the perfect amount of light during the day and just the right number of creaks at night.
The house was clean, cool and dry when we arrived in the middle of an August downpour. What a relief after a day in the car.
The kitchen had everything we needed. The coffee pot was a reliable friend every morning as were the bbq tools and corkscrew every night. The couches and beds proved intoxicatingly comfortable, making naps and slow mornings necessities. It really was the perfect place to slow down.
The garage was full of gear for use during our trips to Kelly Beach, which is stunning and conveniently close. Surrounded by rocky coastline and picturesque cottages, the sand at Kelly Beach glitters and when it's churned up into the water, it's like swimming in a snow globe.
After dinner, evenings meant walking to the end of the block, sitting on a bench at the boaters' cove and watching the lights come on the Pell Bridge as the daylight faded.
We ventured beyond the neighborhood and saw much of the beauty of southern RI, but our week in David's house on Bonnet Shores left us only wanting one thing: another week!
