As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
In a state that’s as compact as Rhode Island, we probably won’t find anywhere that really fits the definition of middle-of-nowhere. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t feel as though we’ve escaped to the middle of nowhere. We just need to find the right Airbnb in Rhode Island that will whisk us millions of miles – or at least feel like it – from all of our worries. This Airbnb is, undeniably, one of the best places to stay in Rhode Island.

To reach Sea Glass, you'll need to take a 30-minute ferry ride to the island.
While you might not be in the middle of nowhere, you sure will feel like it when you escape to this serene cottage that comfortably sleeps five guests in its two bedrooms.
The remote Airbnb in Rhode Island features a king bed, a queen bed, and a twin bed, along with two bathrooms.

Sea Glass comes with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Bring along all of your favorite foods, so you can make your meals in the sun-soaked kitchen.
If you want to go out to dinner, you'll have to hop back on the ferry to the mainland. However, you can order delivery from some restaurants in Bristol, as long as you're willing to go to the ferry to pick the food up.
Gather around the table that also boasts gorgeous views. If you run out of necessities, head to the small shop near the ferry, which sells staple items and souvenirs.
You'll also find an office that's perfect if you're looking for somewhere to work remotely. The hosts confirm that the wifi at the cottage is strong and reliable.
Drink in the breathtaking views from the side porch. You're just a short walk to the stone beach (wear crocs or something to protect your feet).
A stroll into the water is doable. However, if you're heading out at low tide, do not venture out too far if you do not know how to swim. For about 10 feet, the water is usually very shallow at low tide before becoming very deep.
You'll find a ton of opportunities - hiking, biking, and kayaking - to explore both the island and the bay during your stay.
