Six Waterfront New England Homes You’ll Want as Your Own Vacation Getaway

From the coasts of Maine to the island of Nantucket, you’ll find these summer homes by the water absolutely swoonworthy.

Beach vacation season has arrived. But you know what’s better than trip to the shore? Owning a home that makes every day feel like a coastal getaway. There’s no lack of homes that fit the bill in New England, with its abundant coastline. If you’re ready to take the (metaphorical) plunge, here are some houses across the region that keep you close to the water and give you that summer feeling all season long.

The only thing prettier than the Narragansett Bay views this home offers is its stunning interior design. Originally built in 1900 by Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright (a great-great grandson of Benjamin Franklin), this summer cottage is now a year-round home thanks to a transformation at the hands of award-winning builder Davitt Design Build. Now it boasts a custom chef’s kitchen, a three-car garage, and a bonus space on the second floor. Enjoy the seascape from inside through the windows and French doors, from the mahogany-decked back porch, or while burying your toes in the sand of the 92-foot private waterfront that comes with the property.

You won’t have to go too far to get out on the water here, thanks to your own dock.

When night falls, relax those aching muscles with a soak in the outdoor hot tub or enjoy a classic lobster dinner on the back deck with scenic views of the river. Inside, you’ll enjoy the same panoramic views, whether it be from the multi-story living room or the upstairs bedrooms, some of which come with their own private deck.

Why will the owners of this picturesque home on Nantucket cross the road? To get to the beach! Because from this property, the island’s finest sandy expanses are just a few steps away. Or you could always take it in from this house itself: With two oversized covered porches, you can post up and gaze out at the waves and soak up the sea breeze while sipping your morning coffee.

Unique architecture and amazing waterfront views will wow you on every level of this three-story house—and that’s just on the inside.

Sometimes a single beach house isn’t enough, and what you really need is a whole compound. You’ll find that here in this Cliff Beach property. Originally built in the 1930s as a private club, this waterfront estate now includes a newly constructed beach house, two stand-alone cottages, two garages, and an entry courtyard, all spread across nearly an acre. And if you can pull yourself away from all this spacious oceanside splendor, it’s also close to the center of town.
