Jerusalem vacation rentals

Jerusalem: a tiny village with a Biblical name

The little fishing village of Jerusalem takes its name from its Biblical counterpart, though that's about as far as the similarities go. It's a charming little spot on the edge of a peninsula, with gorgeous clapboard homes overlooking beach grass, harbors and the ocean beyond. If you're looking for seafood, you've come to the right place. The town's seafood market sells freshly-caught hauls straight from the fishing boats, which you can take back to your Jerusalem vacation rental to cook up for the family. There's much more to discover along Rhode Island's 400 miles of coastline, secluded coves and white sandy beaches.

Kid-friendly attractions aplenty in Jerusalem

While you're not going to find an awful lot of cultural attractions next door to your Jerusalem vacation rental, there's plenty going on nearby. If you've brought the little ones, they won't say no to a day racing around the go-kart track, or putting on the mini-golf course at the Adventureland of Narragansett, nor will they be disappointed by the amusement park at the Atlantic Beach Park at Misquamicut. The 19th-century Twin Towers is all that's left of the Narragansett Pier Casino and though its suffered several fires, storm damage and hurricanes, it still stands as an historic landmark today.

Sea-faring outdoor adventures in Jerusalem

If you score a waterfront Jerusalem vacation rental, you'll be right on the oceanfront, so it'll come as no surprise that most of the activities are seafaring adventures. Don't limit yourself to just Jerusalem, there's much more to find along Rhode Island's coast. You can spend sunny mornings kayaking along the scenic coast, go deep-sea fishing to hook in a big one or, if you don't mind the chilly waters, dive down to with a snorkel and fin to catch a glimpse of some creatures of the deep. There's no shortage of outfits offering pleasure cruises if you just want to kick back and take it all in.

Clear and sunny skies await in Jerusalem

If you're looking to maximize your time on the stretches of white-sand beach, your best bet is making a beeline for the Jerusalem vacation rentals in the summer months. Between June and August are your best chances of clear and sunny skies. That said, it also comes with the highest price tag. To save a few bucks, spring can often be warm and the beaches far less crowded. While the chilly fall weather might keep you off the beaches, the foliage further inland makes for perfect hiking scenery and the rental prices take a nosedive along with the traveler numbers.

Birdwatchers, you're in for a treat in Jerusalem

If you're into wildlife spotting, you've come to the right place. The Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is just up the road from your Jerusalem vacation rental and makes up 1 of 5 refuges in the state. The almost 800 acres of woodland, dunes and saltwater lakes is home to over 200 species of avifauna, many of which are native and nest in the park, including the tern and the piping plover. That's not all though. Dozens of land-dwelling mammals roam the park along with more than 20 species of reptile.
