3 Bedroom House in Charlestown

'Quitan' is available only for Saturday to Saturday rentals, in weekly increments, for a maximum of six guests to be named on the rental contract . Parties and events of any type or size including additional persons are not permitted. Pets are not allowed.
โ€œQuitanโ€ is a waterfront private home located on a four-acre family compound of three homes 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 other two dwellings on the compound are not available for rent.
The first floor of the house consists of a large living room, formal dining room, kitchen with waterfront deck, sunroom with a fireplace, screened porch and half-bath with washer and dryer. On the second floor are three bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom 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.
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.
The compound's 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. A pass for unlimited beach access and free parking is also provided with the rental. The convenient location of the house and of Charlestown provides easy access to the areaโ€™s many fine restaurants, Newport attractions, Block Island, Mystic Seaport and the Foxwood and Mohegan Sun casinos.
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.
You will be greeted by the owner on your day of arrival. We will give you the keys and beach pass and after orientating you to the property and answering any questions you might have, we will leave you to enjoy your private family vacation. We are readily available throughout your stay to provide whatever assistance you may require. We have a greater vested interest than a 9 to 5 management company handling many properties and are committed to providing you with a superior vacation experience.
The house has been professionally cleaned prior to your arrival and should be left in as-found condition with the exception of vacuuming, dusting and thorough cleaning of kitchen and bath.
All trash should be put out by you for Saturday morning pick-up, the dishwasher should be run and emptied, all items should be returned to their original location and all of your personal effects removed.
A cleaning fee of $125 is added to each rental and is due with your final payment. A Rhode Island Sales and Use Tax of 7% and Short-term Dwelling Rental Tax of 1% (total of 8% tax) on the basic rental amount, cleaning fee and Vrbo booking fee is collected in accordance with state law. We will notify Homeaway/VRBO to release credit card hold for damages within two days of your departure provided there are no damages whose cost to repair cannot be ascertained. It is our objective that there be no damages for us to repair or need to assess charges against our guests.
Per local custom, guests provide their own bed linens and towels. The primary bedroom has a queen-sized bed, private sundeck and en suite bath. The second bedroom has a pair of twin beds and the third bedroom has a double bed. The second and third bedrooms share an upstairs hall bath. Blankets, pillows and all household items necessary for a comfortable stay are provided.

Summary: We just spent the most lovely week at Quitan for our family vacation! The house is clean and cozy, with so many great little spots to hang out and read a good book. Our week flew by as we enjoyed relaxing on the property, hanging out at the beach, riding our bikes around town and cruising our boat on the salt ponds. Our hosts were very gracious and attentive, and it felt like we were staying at the home of family or good friends. We had the most wonderful time during our stay and look forward to returning again soon! to returning again soon!

Summary: My family has now enjoyed a week at Quitan for 3 consecutive years, and the house's charm and breathtaking views never get old. This year I want to give a big thank you to Barry, our host, who is seemingly available 24/7 to handle questions. Barry was a huge help when, on our last full day, we needed to get a flat tire repaired on one of our cars. Within minutes, Barry told us of a nearby tire shop, and we had the car up and running again within 3-4 hours. True Yankee hospitality!

Summary: This is an absolutely wonderful property! Set on 4 secluded acres, this is a historic home nestled on a stretch of Ninigret pond with a dock! The house is surrounded by gardens and lovely established trees and shrubs as well as lovingly planted flowers and herbs overflowing from big pots all around the house. This is a beautifully cared for home that has been in the same family since its beginnings and is wonderfully decorated with memorabilia and period furniture and antiques. The windows, decks and porches on all sides have incredible views both day and night with the stars and moon rising over the salt pond! We had a perfect 2 week stay here. We had family and friends come for a few days each and with the array of lovely rooms to gather or spread out we were able to enjoy and relax and were completely comfortable. The house is well supplied with a small but charming kitchen that is well outfitted with great dishes, cutlery, large and small salad bowls, bakeware, excellent cookware, cutting boards, 36โ€ electric range, dishwasher and side by side fridge. It had everything we needed! There were great cross breezes throughout the house and it cooled off beautifully at night so we actually needed the lovely white coverlets that were on the very comfortable beds. Last but not least, the owners provide a beach pass which allows you to park at either one of two great ocean beaches nearby. We loved our stay at Quitan & hope to return!

Summary: This year was our second stay at Quitan, and we enjoyed it just as much as our initial visit! We really appreciated the incredible sense of calm provided by the outside views: the small boats in the adjacent cove, the barrier beach in the distance, the open sky, the lovely neighboring homes, and all the lush greenery and flowers surrounding the house and property. We had a couple โ€œnon-beach daysโ€ but were more than happy to spend our time soaking in the views from the porch and decks!

Summary: Thank you for another wonderful week! Quitan is just such a truly special place. We loved kayaking on Ninigret pond, sitting on the screened porch, sunning on the terrace, and spending afternoons at the beach. It was a perfect summer vacation!

Summary: We were able to escape the real world for 2 weeks and stay in this gorgeous, historic property surrounded by breathtaking views in every direction! The property is quiet and private, but, conveniently located about 10 minutes from the Charlestown Beaches and nearby restaurants. The beach pass/parking, which is included in your rental, was priceless, especially on weekends. Although, the property does not have AC there are fans available in each bedroom. During our stay, the evenings were cool and a lovely breeze passed through the house. We needed blankets, most nights. If you should have an inquiry, Barry, one of the owners, is professional and readily available to assist. Needless to say, we are planning our next escape...!! Lesley and Frank Berwyn, Pa.

Summary: Perfect summer week for us. Having a dock for our boat was a huge priority. Easy access to the salt pond and Breachway to the ocean. We spent multiple days nearly alone on East Beach, parking the boat on the pond side and walking across. The sandbar beach was easily reached by kayak or boatโ€”an excellent way to enjoy low tide. We loved the houseโ€” itโ€™s history, location, patio and porches. Bring bug spray, the mosquitos were vicious when I forgot to apply. Not at all surprising given the waterfront location and surrounding wetlands and brush. The window screens and screen porch were very effective in allowing maximum outdoor enjoyment. We loved being so close to coffee, breakfast, restaurants in Charlestown, tucked away nicely from the highway bustle. The fishing was good especially outside the Breachway. I could have caught and kept sea bass for dinner every night if desired. The owners were very communicative and easy to work with throughout. I would highly recommend a stay at โ€˜Quitan.โ€™

Summary: This is our second year at the house, and we love the views from the porch and decks. It's very quiet and private. We did have very humid weather which made all the clothes and bedding damp. One of my friends fell and broke her arm the second day...in front of Stop & Shop, and had to leave for surgery. That was a bummer! Our only concern, being women, is that the back door gets a lock on it. Thanks for a great week!

Summary: We had a wonderful week at this very special historic property. The inside is spacious, comfortable and has great charm, with many photos and works of art about Charlestown in general and Quitan in particular. There are four outdoor spaces - a gorgeous mahogany deck off the kitchen, a screened porch, a formal sunroom, and a second-floor deck, all with panoramic views of Charlestown Pond. No matter the weather you will have a special setting for coffee, meals or just relaxing. The lush vegetation and shore bird activity make for a private, peaceful setting. What is equally distinctive about Quitan is the attentive service by the owners, who obviously have great pride in the property and enjoy sharing it with others. We were met by a family member on arrival to receive a tour of the house and grounds, while another family member asked upon departure if there were any issues. All were available throughout our stay via text or call. In short, Quitanโ€™s combination of comfort, history, views, and nature provided us with a week we will never forget.

Summary: This was such a quaint, beautiful, and unique cottage! We loved looking at all of the antique items throughout the house. The owners were very informative and helpful, and the house was equipped with everything we needed. The view was spectacular and peaceful from the many outdoor seating areas. My children loved looking for shooting stars each night on the upper deck off the master bedroom! The screened in porch was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. The location was great-right in the middle of all the many different beautiful beaches. My family and I had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay and hope to return next summer!
