Sounds like Newport East on Aquidneck Island is your spot. Under 5 minutes to beaches, under 10 to downtown Newport and plenty of farms and vineyards with lots of public access hiking and walking trails (e.g., Norman Bird Sanctuary). It’s about 35 minutes to the train in Kingston and T.F. Green and 1:30 minutes to Boston with traffic.

St George’s is right there and there are a few private schools on the Island.

Summers are unbeatable.
