3 Epic Airbnbs in Rhode Island With Pools and Unreal Water Views

Finding a waterfront vacation home in Rhode Island isn't too difficult — this is the Ocean State, featuring a vast coastline measuring 400 miles, after all! But how about one with something extra beyond just a water view, such as a pool or a hot tub (or both)? The following are the best water feature Airbnbs in Rhode Island that I could find, and you'll want to book your stay soon, especially if you're planning a summer getaway.

1. The Saltwater by STAY - Portsmouth, Rhode Island

• Size: 4 bedrooms (sleeps 8), 4.5 bathrooms
• Standout amenities: Chef's kitchen, saltwater pool, hot tub, fire pit, access to private beach, pet-friendly (pets under 50 lbs.)
• Rating: 5/5 stars

This large Portsmouth home's impressive curb appeal is just the start of things to experience when you walk through its doors. Each of its four luxurious bedrooms features an en suite, a chef's kitchen will tempt you to prepare five-star meals, and its living rooms invite you to curl up on a couch with a good book. But where this home truly shines is outside. Not only will you be steps away from a private beach, but you can come back after some time on the sand and jump into the saltwater pool, take a soak in the hot tub, and, at night, roast s'mores around the fireplace under a starry night sky. This is one of the most outstanding Airbnbs with pools in Rhode Island, and a getaway here is truly a treat, especially given its Portsmouth location.

Portsmouth is a quintessential Rhode Island town on Aquidneck Island close to Narragansett Bay. This coastal community beckons visitors to relax on its beaches, explore its antique shops, and revel in its quiet beauty. Portsmouth is also home to the Green Animals Topiary, Newport Car Museum, a vineyard, and a brewery. While these are reasons enough to visit Portsmouth, along with its proximity to Newport, The Saltwater by STAY will entice you to stay a bit longer.

2. Luxurious Ocean Front Rental - Narragansett, Rhode Island

• Size: 5 bedrooms (sleeps 10), 6.5 bathrooms
• Standout amenities: Pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, beach access
• Rating: 5/5 stars

With four king bedrooms with en-suites and one bedroom with bunk beds, this luxurious Airbnb on the Narragansett Bay is the ideal getaway for a large family with kids. Not only that, but the home sits on Scarborough Beach, so you don't have to fight beach traffic to get a spot in the parking lot or on the sand! This waterfront home is a newer build with ocean views from large windows and a deck shared by three of the bedrooms upstairs. The lucky person who claims the primary bedroom can take a soak in the bathtub while gazing out at the water — so luxurious!

The gourmet kitchen with Wolfe appliances is perfect for anyone who loves to cook, plus there's an attached pantry complete with a wine fridge. Head to the sitting room and make cocktails at the wet bar, and then step outside onto the patio overlooking the beach and water. Here you will also have access to the home's private pool, hot tub, and an outdoor kitchen with a grill, a fridge, and a pizza oven. This home has it all!

As one of the best Airbnbs for summer, you may never want to leave. However, if you feel like venturing into Narragansett, visit the iconic Point Judith Lighthouse, get a history lesson at the South County Museum, and grab a bite to eat at Aunt Carrie's Restaurant or Monahan's Clam Shack by the Sea.

3. Beach Haven by STAY Newport - Newport, Rhode Island

• Size: 6 bedrooms (sleeps 14), 4.5 bathrooms
• Standout amenities: Indoor pool, hot tub, in-law suite with an elevator, EV charger
• Rating: 4.79/5 stars

One of the best Airbnbs with views has to be Beach Haven, hosted by STAY Newport. This multi-story home with bedrooms on the second and third floors, plus an in-law suite with an accessible bathroom and an elevator, sits on Easton's Beach within walking distance to Newport's best attractions, shops, and dining options. One of the best features of this home is the indoor pool and hot tub, which are open year-round, while outdoor pools at most other homes are seasonal. Whether it's a rainy day or nighttime when you can't go for a swim in the ocean, having access to an indoor pool is a luxury that many vacation homes just don't have.

The main floor features a large kitchen, living room, den, and dining area, with French doors opening onto a patio with ocean views. Keep the doors open to allow the salt air and sea breeze into the home while experiencing seamless indoor/outdoor living. The outdoor space not only offers views of the Atlantic but also a fenced-in yard with a swing set, yard games, and an outdoor shower. Beach Haven is certainly that — a haven for its guests, and one of the most outstanding waterfront Airbnbs in Rhode Island.
