Watch Hill Luxury by the Sea, Iconic 1852 School House, Beside Ocean House Hotel
“Featured in Architectural Digest’s ‘15 Incredible Former Schoolhouses You Can Spend the Night In,’ this historic home is now exclusively available for the first time on VRBO.”
Step back in time while enjoying every modern comfort at The School House, a historic 1852 school lovingly transformed into a cozy oceanfront bungalow. Located directly beside the iconic Ocean House Hotel, this cottage offers the best of both worlds: the charm of Watch Hill history and the luxury of seaside living—with direct access to a private residents’ beach, monitored by security to ensure exclusive access for residents and their guests.
A Storied Past
Once a classroom for local children and later “Miss Stevenson’s Little Shop” for over 30 years, the cottage was ultimately re-imagined as a private residence. Its heritage lives on through soaring vaulted ceilings and original hand-hewn beams revealed during renovation—blending old-world craftsmanship with an airy, coastal design.
Comfort & Layout
The open-concept plan creates a light-filled space where the living room, kitchen, and dining area flow together beneath dramatic beams and ocean-view windows. French doors lead to a private porch overlooking views to the ocean, while a newly landscaped side yard offers a perfect spot for cocktails, grilling, or dining al fresco against a backdrop of ocean breezes.
2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 6
Primary suite with king bed and en-suite bath
Guest room with two twin beds and full bath
Living area with pull-out sofa and fireplace
Amenities
Air conditioning
Full kitchen with Bosch washer/dryer
Private parking for 3 vehicles ONLY, no street parking
Porch with ocean views
Landscaped 40-foot side yard with dining area
Direct access to neighborhood, security-patrolled beach
The Experience
Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee steps from the sand, savoring a glass of wine on the patio at sunset, or strolling next door for cocktails or dinner at the Ocean House, your stay feels like a private suite within a five-star resort—yet with the privacy and comfort of your own seaside cottage.
The School House is sheer Watch Hill perfection—historic, charming, and just steps from your own private residents’ beach.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad
I chose Watch Hill because it offers an unparalleled combination of history, coastal beauty, and community character. The School House itself is a historic landmark, originally built in 1852, and its location places it at the very heart of this exceptional village and just 50 steps from the iconic and luxurious Ocean House Hotel.
The neighborhood is distinguished by its natural setting — bordered by pristine beaches, dramatic ocean views, and tree-lined streets filled with classic New England architecture. It is both serene and accessible: steps from boutique shops, cafés, and the Ocean House resort, yet private enough to feel like a retreat.
What I value most is the unique atmosphere of Watch Hill. It has a timeless quality, where historic charm and modern amenities coexist. The area attracts a community that appreciates preservation, quality, and coastal living, making it one of the most desirable and refined neighborhoods in Rhode Island.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad
The School House is unique because it is both a historic landmark and a thoughtfully updated coastal residence. Originally constructed in 1852 as a one-room schoolhouse, the property carries a rich local heritage that few homes in Watch Hill can match. Its architectural details — vaulted ceilings, exposed hand-hewn beams, and preserved historical character — distinguish it from typical beach cottages or new construction.
What further sets it apart is its location. The School House is positioned in the very center of Watch Hill village, only 50 steps from the iconic Ocean House hotel, offering immediate access to the beaches, shops, and resort amenities while still providing privacy and the charm of a stand-alone home. At just under 1,000 square feet, it delivers a rare combination of intimacy, history, and prestige within one of New England’s most exclusive coastal neighborhoods.
Adding to its uniqueness, the School House was once part of the prestigious Ocean House Collection of Cottages, offered directly through the hotel. It is now being made available exclusively by the owner, allowing guests to enjoy the same caliber of luxury and proximity to Ocean House Hotel with the privacy of an independently offered historic home.
This blend of historical significance, architectural authenticity, and unmatched proximity to the Ocean House is what makes the School House truly one-of-a-kind.
