Om overnatningsstedet

Klassisk sommerhus ved vandet med privat dok

'Quitan' er kun tilgængelig til leje af lørdag til lørdag, i ugentlige trin, for maksimalt seks gæster, der skal navngives på lejekontrakten. Fester og begivenheder af enhver type eller størrelse, inklusive yderligere personer, er ikke tilladt uden forudgående tilladelse fra ejerne.

"Quitan" er et privat hjem ved vandet beliggende på en fire mål stor forbindelse med direkte facade og en privat dock på Ninigret Pond. Dette hus blev bygget i 1874 og var det oprindelige Nye-bondegård til den ejendom, der nu omfatter sommersamfundene Tockwotten Cove og Pond Shore. Huset har forblevet i samme familie i de sidste hundrede år og tilbydes selektivt til kortvarig sommerudlejning.

Første sal i huset består af en stor stue, formel spisestue, køkken med havneplads, solrum med pejs, afskærmet veranda og halvbad med vaskemaskine og tørretumbler. På anden sal er der tre soveværelser og to fulde bade. Det store soveværelse har en-suite bad samt en stor, privat soldæk. Alle værelser har uhindret udsigt over Ninigret Pond, barriere stranden og Atlanterhavet med Block Island ud over.

Fordi huset er blevet opretholdt af en familie som sit sommerhus i mange år, er dets charme, faciliteter og udsmykning meget mere end et trin over den typiske sommerudlejning. Hjemmet er møbleret i en eklektisk og behagelig stil med en kombination af antikviteter, kurv, kunst og artefakter, der vil glæde og interessere dig. Mens alle moderne bekvemmeligheder er til rådighed, opretholder dette specielle hus følelsen af en enkel, elskværdig livsstil, der kendetegnet sommerkolonierne fra en tidligere tid. Grunden til Quitan inkluderer omfattende flerårige haver, roser og blomstrende buske, der omgiver huset og de brede, velholdte græsplæner.

Din private dock giver nem adgang til Ninigret Pond, East Beach og Breachway, hvor vandbaserede aktiviteter såsom clamming, fiskeri, svømning og vandski er i overflod. Lejeprisen leveres også med et pass til ubegrænset adgang til stranden og gratis parkering. Husets bekvemme beliggenhed og Charlestown giver nem adgang til områdets mange fine restauranter, Newport-attraktioner, Block Island, Mystic Seaport og Foxwood og Mohegan Sun kasinoer.

Hos Quitan tillader vi maksimalt seks overnattende gæster inklusive børn. Alle overnatningsmedlemmer i lejepartiet skal navngives i lejeaftalen. Fester og kæledyr er ikke tilladt i ejendommen, og rygning er kun tilladt udendørs.

Du bliver mødt af ejeren på din ankomstdag. Vi giver dig nøglerne og strandkortet, og efter at vi har orienteret dig om ejendommen og besvaret eventuelle spørgsmål, du måtte have, overlader vi dig til at nyde din private familieferie. Vi er let tilgængelige under hele dit ophold for at yde den hjælp, du måtte have brug for. Vi har en større interesse end et administrationsselskab fra 9 til 5, der håndterer mange ejendomme og er forpligtet til at give dig en overlegen ferieoplevelse.

Huset er blevet professionelt rengjort inden din ankomst og bør efterlades i fundet tilstand med undtagelse af støvsugning, støvning og grundig rengøring af køkken og bad.
Alt affald skal udsættes af dig til afhentning lørdag morgen, opvaskemaskinen skal køres og tømmes, alle genstande skal returneres til deres oprindelige placering og alle dine personlige effekter fjernes.

Et rengøringsgebyr på $ 125 tilføjes til hver leje og forfalder med din endelige betaling. En Rhode Island salgs- og brugsafgift på 7% og kortvarig boligleje på 1% (i alt 8% skat) af grundleje og rengøringsgebyr (skat opkræves ikke for depositum) opkræves i overensstemmelse med staten lov. Rengøringsgebyr, skat og et refunderbart depositum på $ 500 forfalder med den endelige betaling. Vi vil underrette Homeaway / VRBO om at returnere din indbetaling inden for to dage efter din afgang, forudsat at der ikke er skader, hvis omkostninger til reparation ikke kan konstateres. Det er vores mål og standard praksis at returnere din indbetaling straks og fuldt ud.

Per lokal skik leverer gæsterne deres eget sengetøj og håndklæder. Det store soveværelse har en queensize-seng. Det andet soveværelse har et par enkeltsenge, og det tredje soveværelse har en dobbeltseng. Tæpper, puder og alle husholdningsartikler, der er nødvendige for et behageligt ophold, leveres.

This is a beautiful home and property and a great location! With access to the pond we rented a pontoon and paddleboards giving us lots to do without going anywhere. But we also enjoyed going to the area beaches and towns! It was perfect!

Lovely little vacation getaway!

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!

Year 3 at Quitan!

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!

Fabulous!

This was our first time staying at Quitan and we loved every minute of our 2 week stay. The house is nestled by the water on a very private lot. It was quaint & charming with spectacular views from every room! The private dock made exploring Ninigret Pond so easy. Wish we'd discovered this special property years ago!

Calm By The Sea

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 “non-beach days” but were more than happy to spend our time soaking in the views from the porch and decks!

Beautiful!

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!

Lovely location

Very nice location on Ninigret Pond. 10-20 minute drives to nearby ocean beaches. House is nicely laid out. Several places to sit, read and relax - backyard by the pond, screened porch, living room, "Florida room", upper deck. House is old, well kept up but still needs some attention. We would have liked more lighting, and more kitchen staples and supplies (more than one dish towel). All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

What a special place!

We had the most wonderful week at Quitan in Charlestown. It is such a lovely home in the most beautiful setting! It reminded me of my grandmother's summer home and brought back such memories! The house was immaculate, and full of history, great books, music, and lots of entertainment for rainy days. The location on the pond was perfect for lots of kayaking and paddleboarding, and it is a quick drive to beautiful beaches as well. The screened-in porch was a favorite spot for watching sunrises, sunsets, and lots of birds! Barry was so responsive and a wonderful host. We will definitely return!

A trip into old New England

Property was as advertised with a unique historic feel. Great views. Hit a few humid days to start but adjusted to no AC (not unusual for area). Would rent again if visiting the area again. Very quiet and private, nice dock for launching kayaks. Kids enjoyed catching critters around the dock. Good fishing in and outside the pond, we did a charter (dock pick up!) with Capt. Aron Cascone who specializes in the local area and he not only put us on a lot of fish, but showed us how to read, fish, and appreciate the pond and its critters. Nice beaches and breachways nearby for exploring. Don’t forget to bring sheets and towels!

What we did on our summer vacation...

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!

An Amazing Piece of Heaven!

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.

Relaxation at a Historic Waterfront Home

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, Quitan’s combination of comfort, history, views, and nature provided us with a week we will never forget.

Wonderful!

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, 36” 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!

Idyllic Summer Getaway

Tucked away down a long driveway on a private road, the house is very quiet and private. The property is on a small cove of Ninigret Pond with lovely water views and is surrounded by beautiful old trees, verdant lawns and well tended gardens. While the house is a historic classic cape, it has been extremely well maintained and has all the modern amenities one needs. The private dock is ideal for having a small skiff / boat to zip across the pond to the beach which is never crowded unlike the nearby town beaches more easily accessible by car. The dock is also a great launch for paddle boarding and kayaking which are very popular activities on Ninigret. Only minutes from the house are all the essentials (supermarket, liquor store, drugstore, gas station) and not much further are larger towns with ample choices for restaurants and shopping. Last but not least, the homeowners are lovely people who are extremely attentive and will help you with anything you need during your stay. Our stay at the house was one of the best we’ve had renting and we will definitely return.

Wonderful property

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 boat—an excellent way to enjoy low tide. We loved the house— it’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 ‘Quitan.’

Amazing view and great location, needs update

Great location with provided beach pass to Charlestown and Blue Shutters Beach (better one!) which are a short drive from the rental. The view are spectacular. Owners responsive. House is old (as per description) but everything was functional and overall clean. I assume there is probably a lot of sentimental value in furnishings etc but it really needs an update. It just simply not very comfortable (including mattresses), cushions of sofas and chairs are pretty worn out. Upstairs deck furniture has no cushions or pillows at all. Would definitely prefer more lightning, especially in the dining room and house in general could use some work. There is no AC and most of the week it was fine with the fans but last few days of our stay t was high eighties, not much breeze and it got pretty hot. Don't forget to have a bug spray if you want to sit outside. House is near the salt pond and some days mosquitoes are fierce. Overall, we enjoyed our stay we relaxed at the beach and started the day with a cup of coffee and a beautiful view.

Classic New England Summer Getaway

For a classic family summer getaway "Quitan" sublimely fit the bill. Situated on a peaceful inlet on Ninigret Salt Pond with water views from four outdoor/indoor spaces and every one of the three bedrooms, Quitan gracefully hosted our family vacation. We were a total of 6 adults, two of whom are in their 80s. While age has slowed down the elders in our family, they nevertheless were able to enjoy the classic New England water views from the porch off the kitchen for breakfast, the screened porch at the back of the house throughout the day, the 3-season room off the living room with glorious breezes for cocktail hour and sing-alongs (we had a guitar player in our family circle) and the outdoor 2nd floor deck for the daily sunsets which never failed to move us. Quitan’s boat dock is just off the rear of the house and ideal for kayak, canoe, paddleboard or boat launches to take full advantage of the salt pond. There is a breachway on the other side of Ningret Salt Pond which leads to the open Atlantic as well. While we opted to cook our own meals, taking advantage of the very well-outfitted kitchen with new appliances, indoor/outdoor dining spaces at Quitan, local seafood from the Charlestown Super Mini and farm fresh fruits, vegetables and home-made pies from Peaches farm stand, there are certainly great dining and entertainment options nearby including the Matunuck Oyster Bar, The Haversham House Tavern and the Theater by the Sea to name a few. Beaches in the area are abundant. Charlestown Beach and East beach are the nearest, but Narragansett with its crashing surf is not far away. We spent a day exploring nearby Newport with its bustling harbor, stately mansions, and restored 18-19th century downtown, but found ourselves longing to get back to Quitan's quiet porches to watch the migrating geese and many other varieties of waterfowl, hummingbirds, and hares on the lawn. Quitan is a rare and special place, a family home that has been well loved by the same family for more than a century. She welcomed us in and took very good care of our family and we in turn reciprocated as her caretakers for the week. As we sat around the farm table in the dining room by candlelight enjoying our last night together in this special place, we found our thoughts wandering already to a return to her next summer.

A truly special place

Our party of six (4 adults, 2 children) enjoyed an incredible week staying at Quitan. The home is amazing in multiple ways. First, the location is just gorgeous. The pond is so beautiful, and the direct access via the dock made it so easy for us to get out on the water using on our kayaks and paddleboards. We also spent time each morning and throughout the day on the rooftop deck, taking in the scenic views and appreciating all the shore birds and other natural beauty. Which brings me to another fun feature of this home - there are so many rooms! We were two families sharing the rental and we always had plenty of room to be together or hang out separately. The various porches and other living spaces are lovely, and the whole house is full of character! There are so many historical decorations and artifacts, it really adds a depth and dimension to one's stay. The laundry machines are in excellent working order, as are the rest of the appliances throughout the house. The kitchen is well stocked. Communication with the hosts is excellent - they are clear, kind, and very responsive. The provided beach chairs and beach toys are also a thoughtful provision to make it easy to enjoy the nearby beaches. We were truly able to relax and enjoy our vacation, and would love to stay again!

Our Vacation

Upon arriving at this cottage one gets the sense of family history and pride. The artifacts that surround the interior of the house are interesting and very personal to the owners. Although the home has some necessary updates it also has several issues. For example, lack of air conditioning, and wallpaper and shower doors that need to be replaced. The views from the decks were beautiful and the quiet atmosphere was welcome.

The Perfect Authentic Charlestown RI Cottage

Quitan was perfect and amazing as always … They have made so many nice updates this year that are so appreciated! Our family - Grandmother- daughter and her 11 and 13 year old kids-ALL Love this cottage. We love- well just everything - the comfortable living room- so un-beachhouse and delightful… from choice of fabrics - all the rugs- the art..& I super appreciate that they have some nice pots and pans and lovely dishes. So often at rentals they are mismatched or not nice quality. It makes me smile remembering all the paintings of cats, and I challenged the kids to find all the rabbits in the house- they LOVE rabbits… the little one on the lamp in the hall and the little candy mold up high in kitchen were the two they couldn’t find. Well hidden amongst collections of antiques and framed memories that the family has so kindly left for all to see and enjoy. I was impressed to have my grandkids sharing details of the history on the walls with us.. How cool that they were interested and read and studied photos … How totally cool and wonderful that the family leaves it all and shares it with us. Oh & there is also the perfect location, the pond right out the door- the beautiful gardens and amazing birds everywhere … there's just so much to treasure in this wonderful cottage.

Om værten

Vært: Barry Aldrich

Værtens profilbillede
Whit and Barry have been welcoming visitors to their vacation homes in Charlestown, RI and St. Croix, USVI for nearly thirty years. Now retired, Whit, a native of Madison, CT, made his career in interior design, landscape design and antiques. Barry, from Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA, retired as Contracts VP and Ethics Officer from a major Boston area defense firm in 2004.

Their next chapter brought them to the island of St. Croix where they spent twelve years running a successful vacation villa, Villa la Chatiere, where they welcomed hundreds of guests from around the world, many returning year after year. While on the island, Whit also volunteered at the Botanical Garden and Animal Welfare Center and Barry volunteered as Development Director for a low-cost spay/neuter non-profit.

In 2013, Whit and Barry returned to the mainland where they purchased a historic riverfront home in Gloucester County, Virginia which they work daily to restore while, in their spare time, lending their talents to the Gloucester Mathews Humane Society and continuing to support their feral cat colony on St. Croix.

Aside from their interest in animal welfare, Whit and Barry enjoy historic home restoration, antique collecting, gardening, entertaining and caring for four St. Croix cats and five Virginia cats.
