Ideas and resources for making the most of living in the Ocean State.

FAMILY FAVES The Chan family cite the following as So Co go-tos: “Matunuck Oyster Bar in East Matunuck (we can see the oyster farm from our deck), The Coast Guard House in Narragansett (especially the igloos during the pandemic), Del’s Frozen Lemonade, gift shop at Skip’s Dock in Jerusalem, and Adventureland in Narragansett.”

RHODY LOVE Best part of spending time in the Ocean State? “Being able to smell the sea and feel the ocean breeze and hear the crash of the waves. Being able to drive to the fishing docks in Galilee and buy fresh seafood directly from a fisherman. Being able to bring our sons to many of the places we enjoyed going as children growing up in RI. Being able to drive here from the Boston area in less than 1.5 hours,” says the family.

RHODY RESOURCES The curtain panels in the bedroom and dining space were made by Budget Blinds of Westerly. The throw pillows came from Three Sparrows’ own shop.
