Most Little Compton listings get marketed as a generic Sakonnet River stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets Town of Little Compton, Newport County, Rhode Island apart. Guests who typed Little Compton are looking for South Shore Beach, Sakonnet Point, the Commons, Wilbor House — not Jamestown, and not Lubec. 71 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk. Keep the listing specific. A vague water caption loses the booking.

Typical listings here earned about $31,744 last year from 71 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $442. Occupancy was 38.3 percent. Revenue per available night was $185. Year over year is minus 15.1 percent. Active supply moved 0.0 percent. Do not average in Jamestown at $29,691 on 92 listings. That is a different town. Leave Lubec as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are August, June, and July. August is the busiest. February is the slowest. Most guests arrive from New York, then Boston. Typical stay is 5.7 nights, booked about 83 days ahead. Call Town Clerk at 401-635-4400. Town STR registration $250 a year, $125 with homestead. Confirm live. Also register with RI DBR. Tiverton is another municipality. AirROI high-regulation is a scrape of listings, not the live permit file Evolve holds still show up in this sample.

That heading is the useful way to read Little Compton, not a dashboard label. Guests come for South Shore Beach. Say that in the listing. Do not bury it under a generic Sakonnet River caption. Do not write Jamestown copy onto a Little Compton address. Do not use Lubec as if it were this occupancy. Be specific about the walk. A vague caption loses the guest who typed this town. Keep the other town out of the title.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical Little Compton STR year on this extract?

AirROI lists about $31,744 from 71 listings for August 2025 through July 2026, updated 2026-08-08. Average night was $442, occupancy was 38.3 percent, and year over year was down 15.1 percent. Treat this as a small-sample figure specific to Little Compton — don't blend it with Jamestown's $29,691 or Lubec's $21,152.

Can I average Jamestown into this year?

No. Jamestown published $29,691 from 92 listings, a separate Rhode Island market with its own extract. Cite Little Compton's $31,744 from its own 71 listings only, and confirm current registration status directly before advertising a Little Compton address with another town's numbers.

Which months are strongest in Little Compton?

August, June, and July are the three strongest months, with August the busiest and February the slowest. Occupancy for the year sits at 38.3 percent against the $31,744 typical-year figure from 71 listings. Treat any single month's swing carefully given the sample size.

Where do guests come from?

New York is the top origin, followed by Boston. Typical stay is 5.7 nights with about 83 days of lead time, and Superhost share sits at 36.6 percent. Serve the guest who actually typed Little Compton rather than a generic Sakonnet River pitch.

Does a low-regulation label mean there is no local permit?

No — that label reflects a data scrape, not a confirmed rule set. Call the Town Clerk at 401-635-4400; Little Compton requires an annual STR registration around $250, or $125 with a homestead exemption, and hosts should also register with the RI Department of Business Regulation. Tiverton is a separate municipality, and Jamestown and Lubec are separate markets that shouldn't be folded into this figure.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 39.4 percent of listings, 28 of them, use a 30-night minimum stay filter. That's a platform setting, not a measure of how full the calendar runs — occupancy for the year is 38.3 percent, with a typical stay of 5.7 nights.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $31,744 from 71 listings, the strongest months of August, June, and July, February as the slowest, New York as the top guest origin, a 5.7-night typical stay with 83 days of lead time, and the Town Clerk number, 401-635-4400. Label Jamestown's $29,691 and Lubec's $21,152 separately rather than averaging them in.

Is Lubec the same market as Little Compton?

No. Lubec, Maine published $21,152 from 65 listings, a separate market with its own extract. Little Compton's figure is $31,744 from 71 listings, with February as its slowest month. Confirm current registration rules at 401-635-4400 before advertising either town's numbers as the other's.
