Charming vacation home on a beautiful freshwater lake, less than 10 minutes from Narragansett Pier and the state's best ocean beaches. Swim, kayak, and fish from your front yard. The lake warms up well before the ocean does, and stays warm into early fall. Perfect for a family with children, two couples (each has their own bath room), or a couple looking for a romantic get-away. The house, which sleeps 5, is clean and inviting, with gorgeous water views from almost every room. Authentic pine paneling, polished wooden floors, large windows overlooking the lake, cathedral ceilings and numerous skylights create an interior that is both bright and cheery. Adjoining the large living/dining area is a family room which can be closed off for privacy. Sliding glass doors lead to the deck with BBQ and picnic table and water beyond. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a laundry. One bedroom has a queen-size bed while the other has two twin beds that can be made up into a king. The family room has a double-bed futon couch. There are four sit-on-top kayaks for your use on the lake. Free high speed internet is included. Just past our house the quiet country road turns to dirt and ends at a small public boat ramp suitable for small fishing boats and canoes. The serenity of the lake is ensured because motors over 10 h.p. are not permitted. The surrounding area is known as South County, which Money Magazine described as on of the best spots to vacation because of its less crowded beaches and many tourist attractions. Narragansett town beach, Scarborough, Sand Hill Cove, and Salty Brine are some of the many close-by ocean beaches. You can purchase fresh lobsters and seafood from the fishing boats in Galilee, stroll around the Pt. Judith lighthouse, go deep sea fishing or out on a whale watching excursion. For the kids (or the young at heart) there are mini golf courses, bumper boats, and go-carts nearby. For bigger 'kids' there are eleven 18-hole golf courses in in South County in addition to other smaller courses and driving ranges. A waterslide park is 30 minutes away in Misquamicut. If you love history, there are many colonial houses to tour and antique stores for shopping. The mansions of Newport and the famous cliff walk are also an easy 20 minute drive.
