About this property

Charming Seaside Cottage with Fabulous View

'Starboard Watch' is a quaint seaside cottage located 50 yards from the water. A comfortable porch offers a great view of boats entering and leaving Sakonnet Harbor, along with the coast of Newport in the distance. There are two beaches within walking distance (.5 and .8 miles). Other beaches and restaurants are a short drive away.

The Sakonnet point area of Little Compton offers a beautiful setting for seaside relaxation and recreation. The Point is a common destination for road bikers and those simply out for a Sunday drive but limited access means the area is calm in the busy summer season, and very quiet and serene during the shoulder months.

Enjoy fishing off the rocky shoreline or harbor breakwater, or maybe just crabbing with your kids. Ride your bike; swim at the beach; walk 'the Loop'; or just chill on the porch with a good book. You won't find a more affordable elegant setting than Starboard Watch on Sakonnet Point.

4th of July at Starboard Watch
We spent a great week during the 4th of July at Starboard watch! The property was as pictured if not better - we spent the majority of the time when at the house out on the porch enjoying the views. Kitchen was well appointed and we did use the charcoal grill on nights when we stayed in. For groceries, Wilbur’s General Store in town had basically everything needed without having to travel 30 minutes to Fall River or one of the larger cities for groceries. Buck was very responsive to all messages and checked in with us! We appreciated the area guide with maps to beaches and restaurant recommendations. We spent most of our days at Tappen’s Beach, which is an easy 20 minute walk from the house. Looking forward to our next trip to Little Compton!

Starboard Watch
The property was as advertised (cottage), which suited our needs perfectly. The kitchen was stocked with all needed pots, pans, appliances, cleaning products, firewood, and more. All enjoyed their stay.
