The Magnificent Waterfront Airbnb in Rhode Island That Is Perfect for a Spring Retreat

While we usually won't balk at getting away in any season, there's something rejuvenating about a spring getaway. Whether the temperatures climb enough to warrant a dip in the water, we still can't beat the return of the fresh air, the golden sunshine, and spending time near the water, even if it means a quick dip of our toes. When you're mulling over where to stay on a getaway this spring, consider this waterfront cottage in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, just steps from the rocky beach.

This adorable cottage is on the banks of the Sakkonet River. This cozy Airbnb is all about relaxing, and you'll immediately notice something when you first go indoors. Stunning water views greet you just about everywhere you go in this two-bedroom, one-bath home that can easily accommodate up to four guests.

The one-story cottage's spacious primary bedroom has a sleek, modern look. It features a queen bed and a large-screen TV so you can relax before bed. Natural light pours in from the windows during the day, giving this space a cozy feel.

For a nostalgic vibe, claim the top bunk in the second bedroom. You won't find a more relaxing way to wake up than with the morning sunshine streaming through the window that sits right next to the bunk bed. And if you have kids with you, they will love sharing a bunk!

The home features an open-floor concept, with the living room blending into the dining area. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light and water views. The space is so serene, you may never want to leave.

If you would rather cook than go out, the modern, airy kitchen has everything you need. Another option is to head outdoors to grill on the backyard BBQ, an idyllic way to spend a spring afternoon or evening.

Can you think of a better place to enjoy a meal and good conversation than looking out over the water? I certainly can't? The views are spectacular, to say the least.

The private yard is just steps from the rocky beach. However, you'll have to climb down a few stairs to get to the water. You can skip rocks on the water, take a walk, or launch a kayak if you bring one. When you're not relaxing by the water, explore the charming town of Portsmouth or head about eight miles to Newport.
