Waterfront Home with Private Dock in Charlestown

I will be unable to respond to e-mail inquiries through June 24th. Please call the listed contact
number with questions and bookings requests. Your call will be returned promptly. Thank you.

“Quitan” is a waterfront, private home located on a four-acre
compound with direct frontage and a private dock on Ninigret Pond.
Built in 1874, this house was the original Nye farmhouse for the
property that now encompasses the Tockwotten Cove and Pond Shore
summer communities. The house has remained in the same family for
the past hundred years and is offered selectively for short-term
summer rental.

The first floor of the house consists of a large living room, formal
dining room, kitchen with waterfront deck, fireplaced sunroom,
screened porch and bath. On the second floor are three bedrooms and
two full baths. The large master bedroom with sitting area
overlooking Block Island has the bath en-suite as well as a large,
private sundeck. All rooms have unobstructed views of Ninigret
Pond,
the barrier beach and the Atlantic Ocean with Block Island beyond.

At Quitan, we allow a maximum of six overnight guests including
children. All overnight members of the rental party must be named
in
the rental agreement. Parties and pets are not allowed on the
premises and smoking is allowed only outdoors.

A local management company will coordinate your arrival and
departure
and is available during your stay to handle any questions or repairs
at the property. The house has been cleaned prior to your arrival
and should be left in like condition. If you choose, we will
arrange, at additional cost, for a cleaning service on the day of
your departure.

Because the house has been maintained by one family as its summer
residence for many years, its charm, amenities and decoration are
much more than a step above the typical summer rental. The home is
furnished in an eclectic and comfortable style with a combination of
antiques, wicker, art and artifacts that will delight and interest
you. While all modern amenities are provided, this special house
maintains the feel of simple, gracious living that characterized the
summer colonies of an earlier time. The grounds of Quitan include
extensive perennial gardens, roses and flowering shrubs surrounding
the house and the broad, well-maintained lawns.

Per local custom, guests provide their own bed linens and towels.
The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The second bedroom has a
pair of twin beds and the third bedroom has a double bed. Blankets,
pillows and all household items necessary for a comfortable stay are
provided. Other amenities provided include:

Beach Pass for free parking at Charlestown Beach and Blue Shutters/East Beach
Gas Grille
TV/VCR/DVD
Stereo/CD Player
Washer and Dryer

Your private dock provides easy access to Ninigret Pond, East Beach
and the Breachway where water-based activities such as clamming,
fishing, swimming and water skiing abound. The convenient location
of the house and of Charlestown provide easy access to the area’s
many fine restaurants, Newport attractions, Block Island, Mystic
Seaport and the Foxwood and Mohegan Sun casinos.

Summer season rentals through Labor Day are available at a weekly
rate of $2,850. Limited September rentals are available at a weekly
rate of $2,150. We rent only to individual family groups, not to
organizations or to multiple friends or couples joining together.
We rent during the summer only in Saturday to Saturday increments.
We offer no off-season short or long-term rentals.
