Picture perfect mid-century cottage located on 2 wooded acres, just steps from the waters of Narragansett Bay. Perfect for families, this classic cottage has ample room to host your seaside vacation. Take a refreshing swim, explore the beach, set-off from the mooring to cruise the bay, or relax and enjoy the view to the sound of waves gently lapping on the shore.

If you are looking for more adventure, the 14.5-mile East Bay bike path starts on the Bristol waterfront, and kayak and bike rentals are just up the road. The town of Bristol is conveniently located halfway between Providence and Newport with easy access to both.

Easy. Everything you need is there including a great yard and little beach and seashore atmosphere. We fit 3 generations - 9 of us and a baby easily and comfortably for a week then had days by ourselves. Works for both.
This house is well cared for and loved and it shows in all the many extras like a clothesline for beach towels, outdoor shower, games for all ages for rainy days and in all Suzanne's responses to our needs.

My family loved the neighborhood and all the wildlife that reside in Poppasquash Rd. The beach was just steps away from the house which we enjoyed so much. Tip: it’s very Shelly and rocky so water shoes are a must. The home is rustic, and without a/c in the summer time it felt very damp and the fridge struggled to keep our food cold. The freezer did not keep anything frozen. But the owner brought us a cooler with ice and if it weren’t a holiday would have probably been able to do more than that. We had a wonderful time and would stay again.

The family loved the spot and the home was comfortable, private and stocked with everything needed. Unfortunately when i left after double checking the house I forgot to check the fridge for items I couldn’t pack up earlier. Hope this didn’t cause an inconvenience.

Wheelchair Accessible - NOT
We were excited to experience our first family vacation the primary reason for selecting The Mushroom was because it included that it was wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately, from the car to the door required wheelchairing my elderly mother over gravel and mud and then onto a slippery, narrow ramp to the door. Unfortunately, only the kitchen, dining and living rooms were wheelchair accessible - the hallway to the bedrooms and bathrooms were not. Further, the wheelchair didn't fit into the bathrooms. It also required picking up the wheelchair to get out to the patio. After a difficult evening, my mother asked to go home. Because of this, her grandchildren and great grandchildren decided not to join us. All this written, my brother, husband and I enjoyed ourselves and believe we left the home cleaner than it was when we arrived. I will admit to feeling crushed that the first family vacation was a bust and will not be planning another.

Quiet, Wonderful location with beach front and memorable views. Great place to relax and enjoy family and friends. Excellent communication and response from owner. Requests for more towels, insect spray, readily attended. Weather during first half of stay (August) was very warm, damp, and rainy, therefore slept with fans in bedrooms and ran fans in living areas. Many fans were available in the house. But weather cooled off during second half of stay, comfortable sleeping, with beautiful days, cool nights, and photographic sunsets. Good showers with hot water, including outdoor shower. Equipped kitchen and BBQ to handle a variety of food preparation needs.

The location is stunning and cannot be beat for the price. Very private, beautiful private beach, gorgeous sunsets and moonlit nights over the bay. My family had a wonderful time.

Being right on the water was great. Our grandchildren loved being able to walk down to the water and paddle board or kayak. The adults loved these activities too. One of our daughters runs every day and loved running through your beautiful neighborhood. Our 10 year old granddaughter cleaned and decorated the playhouse. Our 8 year old grandsons enjoyed playing soccer in the yard. A great time was had by all. Thank you!

Very well stocked with everything and anything we needed! The weather was not on our side BUT because we lived in Bristol we were able to do everything we wanted. A bit disappointed as it was very damp and sometimes a musty smell was present. The screens were in need of repair as we had more than our share of little insects as visitors. Upgrading the outdoor furniture would be a suggestion.... Linens and towels were plentiful but another suggestion would be replacing with FLUFFY new ones. We did not mind paying the money for it at all and have done many VRBO properties and will continue to do so. I think for the price of this one, basic cable was disappointing as the weather was not conducive to being outdoors as often as we would have liked. LOCATION and View were 6 star.... The cottage does need deep cleaning and upgrading though!

Our young family enjoyed our stay at this cozy seaside cabin. The privacy was unmatched and we loved exploring the beach and looking for deer. Bring water shoes to protect from the shells and rocks. We would recommend with 5 stars!

We had a wonderful week at the “Mushroom” cottage on Poppasquash Point. It was our first post-Covid getaway with our daughters and grandchildren. The house is not fancy but was very comfortable and had everything we needed to entertain adults and children. The shell-covered beach was fun to explore and the swimming was good even though the early June water was cold. We brought along water shoes which we’d recommend. We played lawn games and board games, had charcuterie and wine while watching beautiful sunsets, a lobster boil one night and a clam boil later in the week. The kitchen has everything you need and the grill got lots of use. Watching fishing boats, sailboats and ships passing was a real treat. We all slept well in comfortable beds and the sea breeze flowed nicely through the house. We had a great time and look forward to returning! Thank you!

The Mushroom was a wonderful place to chill out and enjoy Narragansett Bay. The west facing (sunset) view was fabulous and private access to the water was special (bring water shoes). The house is largely original and charming. Bristol is a fun town with plenty to do. We spent a lot of time riding our bikes at Colt state park and on the East Bay bikepath.

A lovely getaway!
We loved this home! The view is beautiful and the private beach access was wonderful. Definitely recommend water shoes since the shore area and water are both rocky and shelly. Great place to get away with friends or family!

Beautiful getaway!
Our family had such a relaxing and nice time at The Mushroom! Thank you for sharing it with us! We truly felt like we had our own private paradise! We loved the private beach access and that the cottage sat back in the woods. We even saw a deer on the beach. Watching the sailboats go by was a highlight. The only thing we would change are the mattresses as they were really hard. We will be back!

To get away from it all
If you are looking to destress and enjoy a waterfront property away from it all, this is your rental. The beach is shell and small rocks; no sand but great for beach combing for small treasures. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
