The South Coast Real Estate Round-Up

With the new year starting and the long winter fully unfolding, finding ways to break up the cabin fever is on everybody’s mind. This weekend instead of sitting inside, why not enjoy an evening sipping on hot chocolate and ice skating around a rink with your family and friends? Now that the holidays have passed and the world has begun to settle into the long month of January, we’ve listed our favorite places to go ice skating in Southern New England this winter. 

The Providence Rink at Alex and Ani City Center

Located in the middle of Providence, RI, the Rink at Alex and Ani City Center is one of the highlights of a Southern New England winter. From 10am to 10pm every day, locals enjoy scooting around in the winter wonderland. The rink also features ice bumper cars, but be sure to reserve them early each season, as they have limited time slots and book up fast!

If you don’t know how to skate but want to learn, the Providence Rink offers private lessons by appointment only. For more information on scheduled lessons and fees click here. 

The rink admission costs $7 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under and seniors (65+). Skate rentals are $6 and locker rentals are $3. The rink is open to the public daily, but be sure to check online prior to attending because it does close in the case of bad weather.

Gurney’s Newport Skating Center

We were all disappointed when we discovered that the Newport Skating Rink at the Wharf would no longer be open, but the coastal city couldn’t be without a skating rink for long. This past December, Gurney’s Newport Skating Center opened at the waterfront resort. Situated on Goat Island and surrounded by Narragansett Bay, Gurney’s Newport Resort & Marina is a location better known for summer cocktails by the water and elaborate weddings than family fun. This winter though, you can enjoy the beautiful water view while ice skating with the family. 

Open through February, guests and locals alike are invited to join in the fun. The rink is open daily for guests, visitors and locals from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Out of town-ers can also book the "Stay and Skate" Package now for unlimited skating, late checkout, and more.  

Admission will cost $7, with different specials for children, seniors and military. Skate rentals will cost $5. Different pricing would apply to private parties, which can be organized through Gurney’s.

June is always a busy month. Between graduations, end-of-year school functions, and the excitement of summer, Father’s Day can sometimes be pushed off to the side. If you’re like us, you’re just now trying to find something to do this Sunday to celebrate the most important man in your life. We made a list of our favorite Southcoast places to take Dad on Father’s Day!

 

Sagres Restaurant

Fall River, MA
Looking to take your dad out to a fancy dinner without breaking the bank? Then Sagres on Columbia Street in Fall River is the place to go. This Portuguese restaurant has nearly every dish your taste buds could desire. And with an atmosphere that feels more like a fancy Boston restaurant than a place in the heart of Fall River, you get the vibe of a trendy downtown joint with Southcoast prices.

 

The Head Town Landing Country Store

Westport, MA

This adorable country store on Old County Road in Westport is the perfect spot to spend a sunny Father’s Day morning. The little shop smells like brewed coffee and freshly made donuts, giving your nose a treat as soon as you walk through the door. The shop also sells ice cream and Dels lemonade, so if you don’t make it there until later in the day, your Dad still won’t be disappointed. Grab a seat by the river, and watch the ducks play as you enjoy your perfect little Father’s Day.

 

The Tipsy Seagull

Fall River, MA

Grab a drink with this Father’s Day at the Tipsy Seagull in Fall River. This waterfront bar and grill is a great place to spend a casual Father’s Day with Dad. The drinks are strong, the food is delicious, and the waterfront view is gorgeous. If you want a Father’s Day full of laughs, sun and food, then the Tipsy Seagull is for you!

 

Roger’s Coney Island Hot Dogs

Fall River, MA

Not much says Father’s Day more than sharing a hot dog with Dad! This classic hot dog stand on North Main Street has always been the go to place to grab a hot dog in this city. Two Classic Roger’s hot-dogs and fries: $6.50. The memories: priceless.

 

The Boat House

Tiverton, RI

This water front restaurant in Tiverton is a gem right in our backyard. Recognized as one of the Top Scenic Views in the United States by OpenTable diners in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, The Boat House is a great place to take your Dad this Father's Day. This restaurant serves some of the freshest New England seafood in the area, so the place is always packed with people. Pro tip: make a reservation a couple of days before so you don’t have to worry about the wait!

 

 

Thinking back to my childhood, most of my favorite memories took place in the summertime. There was just something magical about the butterflies in the warm air and the days that seemed to last forever. This magic began to fade as I aged, but the memories of long, careless weekends splashing in the pool with my family are some I will never forget.

We want to share that magical feeling of summer with you and your kids, and that is why we’re giving away four tickets to Water Wizz in Wareham. Take a day off from work and just enjoy the smile on your children’s faces as they slide down the slides, and float through the lazy river. They will only be little for so long, so enjoy the time with them while they still believe in magic.
