Amazing family vacation!
My family and I just spent a week at Jodette and Matt’s cottage. The cottage was perfect; great outdoor patio, outdoor shower and a big intimate backyard. We would wake up to the birds singing every morning and catch the rabbits eating grass in the backyard every evening. The place was well equipped (beach towels, linen and kitchen) and spacious enough for my wife and I + our tree kids (10-12-16). We would ride our bikes to Kelly’s beach (5 minute ride). The beach was clean, the water was warm, the waves were smooth and the view was just stunning. We were allowed to surf on the resident’s side of the beach. There was enough space to play ball games. The kids were able to catch some crabs, hermit crabs and shrimps by the rocks at low tide.
We also went Newport second beach (Sachuest point). A very nice and clean big beach. We’ve visited the Gilbert Stuart Museum which was very instructive to all of us. Obviously, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit some of the Newport mansions. We chose the Breakers and the Elm, both very interesting. One of our favorite attraction has been: the Farmer’s daughter garden (5 minute drive from the cottage). Amazing place with various thematic gardens; from the fairy garden to the desert garden. You can also buy fresh vegetables grown on the property and pick your own raspberries and blueberries.
We had a wonderful week in Narragansett and are looking forward to go back. Thanks to our host for sharing this little corner of paradise with us.
