Sea Breeze Inn

Top choice in Rhode Island


Some rooms in these charming hillside cottages have uninterrupted views over a tidal pond and the ocean beyond. Others face inward toward a country garden. Inside, airy rooms have eccentric, rustic furnishings, cathedral ceilings, and no electronic distractions such as TVs and clocks. Breakfast comes served in a basket, which can be enjoyed on the porch. Open April to September.
