This Rhode Island Lighthouse Will Make You Feel Like You’re in a Movie

Allow the morning sun, peeking through the sheer curtains, to nudge you awake, open the window for a deep breath of salty ocean air, and marvel at the scene sprawled out before you: sailboats floating under Mount Hope Bridge on Narragansett Bay as golden rays bounce off of the water. After making a cup of coffee or pouring a glass of orange juice, climb to the top of the Bristol Ferry Lighthouse, a one-of-a-kind Airbnb that will make you feel like you’re in a dream.

Embark on a dreamy getaway when you book a stay at the Bristol Ferry Lighthouse, a cozy three-bedroom Keepers Dwelling and four-story lighthouse overlooking the bay. With abundant natural light and plenty of space, the home comfortably sleeps up to five guests, perfect for a getaway with family or friends or a creative retreat if you’re searching for inspiration.

The unique Airbnb features nearly five dozen amenities, including Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, and board games. Chances are, though, that you’ll spend as much time as you can admiring the views from the lighthouse and enjoying the outdoor amenities.

A seasonal Airbnb, the Bristol Ferry Lighthouse’s manicured lawn, framed by a white picket fence, offers the chance to relax on the outdoor furniture, whip up a meal on the BBQ grill, and gaze out at the sweeping bay views. Or, grab your towel and chair and stroll to Walley Street Beach, about a five-minute walk from your front door. After your time at the beach, stand under the refreshing water in the Airbnb’s outdoor shower.

Relax in the living room when you’re not outside soaking in the natural beauty. Snuggle on the couch and read a good book. Let the breeze streaming through the window lull you to sleep for a well-deserved nap, or retreat to what's affectionately called the "napping room," a cozy room with everything you need — a half-bathroom, a bed, and a TV — for a leisurely snooze.

If you’re up to it, climb the ladder to the lantern room. An idyllic spot to catch the sunrise or sunset, it boasts unparalleled views of the bay and beyond.

With easy access to some of Rhode Island’s best restaurants, you might want to go out for meals. Or, if you prefer staying home, the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to make a snack or a four-course meal. You can eat in the dining room or on the patio.

The Bristol Ferry Lighthouse provides an ideal launching point for exploring more of Bristol, the most charming small town in Rhode Island. The historic town hosts the annual Fourth of July celebration and is known for its landmarks, including the waterfront district and Colt State Park.
