Secluded, Luxurious Getaway, Escape The City W/ Private Beach & Waterfront Dock
The Great Gatsby Waterfront Cottage | Private Dock | Pond & Ocean Views
From the moment you enter the long, tunneled driveway—framed by flowering native shrubs and mature trees—you arrive at a hidden coastal retreat where the world immediately slows down. Welcome to the Great Gatsby Cottage, a secluded, family-friendly waterfront home set along the quiet back side of Green Hill Pond, offering rare direct water frontage with both pond and ocean views and access.
This unique property commands sweeping vistas across Green Hill Pond to Block Island, dotted with small island outcroppings that change beautifully with the light throughout the day. From nearly every room—across the first, second, and third floors—you’ll enjoy stunning water views that define coastal living at its best.
In the primary suite, open the double doors wide as you fall asleep to the sound of ocean surf. At night, moonlight reflects across the water, filling the room with a soft, peaceful glow—an unforgettable experience you’ll return for year after year.
Step outside and enjoy life on the water. Crab, kayak, paddle, or boat directly from your own private dock, or take the provided double kayak and cross the pond to the barrier beach, where you’ll find peaceful seclusion far from public access. It’s the ultimate private beach experience. Prefer the open ocean? Green Hill Beach and Charlestown Beach are each a mile away, easily reached by bike or car.

About the host
Hosted by Kevin Lacilla
I live in Litchfield, CT with my wife and three children. Been a CT resident for my entire life. I am self employed operating between three different businesses. In addition to my work I also enjoy hosting guests at the Great Gatsby. My wife and I have a passion for design and decor and take great pleasure in sharing this home with our guests. We will do whatever it takes to make certain your stay is one of your best vacation experiences ever.
Why they chose this property
As you pass through the long, tunneled driveway, surrounded by flowering native shrubs and trees, you will be lead to the secluded Great Gatsby Beach Cottage, and your world will change. This direct water front home is set at the back side of Green Hill Pond with both pond and ocean views and access! Commanding views of Block Island and beautiful sights of Small Island land bodies throughout Green Hill Pond. From the master bedroom leave your double doors wide open as you sleep and hear the ocean surf while the brilliance of the moon reflects off the water and fills your room with a soft glow of light. 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor bedrooms all have with amazing views.
The Gatsby is really more like a resort than a house, you have lots of options being on Green Hill. Although many people come to RI for its beautiful ocean many folks miss out exploring our beautiful ponds but not when you stay at The Gatsby Cottage. Green Hill Pond is connected into South County’s largest pond, Ninigret, which can be explored for miles while docking on some of the most beautiful parts of Rhode Island’s beaches.
