The Blue Peter House is a stunning getaway for 6 guests located on the picturesque island of Conanicut (Jamestown, Rhode Island). In nautical terms, the Blue Peter indicates "the ship is ready to sail"... and sail away you do!!!
Our guests arrive into the completely private main house into a casually elegant living room with lots of room to spread out. The primary kitchen feature 2 ovens, gas-stove, dishwasher, fridge and all small appliances. There is also a small pantry and coffee station. The Blue Peter also has a professional chef in residence in the lower South Suite (He available for meal preparation and small events at an additional charge). Also on the main floor is a window dining nook seating up to 8 guests. Off the kitchen there is also the breakfast balcony for quiet conversations. The first floor living area is cooled by a window air conditioner.
The Blue Peter House includes a phenomenal master bedroom en suite featuring king size bed, a huge walk-in shower with a variety of showerheads, separate soaker/jetted tub and a beautiful sitting area. Also, the Turret Bedroom (king-size bed) and the charming Cottage Bedroom (queen-size bed) both with fantastic views of pastoral fields, huge gardens and distant views of Newport Bridge. Also, on the second floor is a extraordinary lounge for quiet evening chats . The second floor bedrooms and lounge have central air conditioning.
Exiting living room French Doors you are on the an expansive, deck and a huge backyard with with lots of room to entertain, a large grill and lawn seating. The deck features a six-person round dining table as well as additional seating. The lush yard offers a shady hammock for an afternoon snooze, fire-pit for evening chats, andagain a hard-gassed propane grill.
The Blue Peter House is located within ½ mile of the quaint village with restaurants, shopping, marinas, salons/spas and the Newport Ferry service. The Blue Peter House is in a quiet, very upscale neighborhood. It's a super easy stroll downtown and tucked away from the noise, hub-bub and inconveniences of local traffic and busyness.
Our House has plenty of off-street parking as well as storage area for bikes, kayaks, and other outdoor toys. The local Jamestown Outdoors (an easy, walk) is the go-to for renting bikes, kayaks, and more. Island Heron and Jamestown Fitness offers additional workout/relaxing experiences for your visit. Mackerel Cove Beach is a smidge over a mile walk. If you choose to ramble to the beach, there is a large wagon to transport beach items. I prefer popping over to Potter's Cove (2 miles) and enjoying the easy, free parking, wonderful wading and lovely Northern Island views.
If you are visiting in Late June or Early July look for the Jamestown Art Center's Annual Soiree !! Its a fantastic opportunity to dress up, enjoy great food and drink, and experience art in a totally different venue !
Beavertail Lighthouse, Fort Getty and Fort Wetherill (Internationally recognized for diving exploration.) are also within minutes biking or driving.
