À propos de cet hébergement

Maison d'été classique au bord de l'eau avec quai privé

«Quitan» est disponible uniquement pour les locations du samedi au samedi, par incréments hebdomadaires, pour un maximum de six personnes à nommer sur le contrat de location. Les fêtes et événements de tout type ou taille, y compris les personnes supplémentaires, ne sont pas autorisés sans l'autorisation préalable des propriétaires.

«Quitan» est une maison privée au bord de l'eau située sur un terrain de quatre acres avec façade directe et un quai privé sur l'étang Ninigret. Construite en 1874, cette maison était la ferme d'origine de Nye pour la propriété qui englobe maintenant les communautés d'été de Tockwotten Cove et Pond Shore. La maison est restée dans la même famille au cours des cent dernières années et est proposée de façon sélective pour une location d'été à court terme.

Le premier étage de la maison se compose d'un grand salon, salle à manger formelle, cuisine avec terrasse au bord de l'eau, véranda avec foyer, véranda grillagée et demi-salle de bain avec laveuse et sécheuse. Au deuxième étage, trois chambres et deux salles de bain complètes. La chambre principale a la salle de bain ainsi qu'une grande terrasse privée. Toutes les chambres ont une vue imprenable sur l'étang Ninigret, la plage barrière et l'océan Atlantique avec Block Island au-delà.

Parce que la maison a été maintenue par une famille comme résidence d'été pendant de nombreuses années, son charme, ses équipements et sa décoration sont bien plus qu'une étape au-dessus de la location d'été typique. La maison est meublée dans un style éclectique et confortable avec une combinaison d'antiquités, d'osier, d'art et d'artefacts qui vous raviront et vous intéresseront. Bien que toutes les commodités modernes soient fournies, cette maison spéciale conserve la sensation d'une vie simple et gracieuse qui caractérisait les colonies d'été d'une époque antérieure. Les motifs de Quitan comprennent de vastes jardins vivaces, des roses et des arbustes à fleurs entourant la maison et les vastes pelouses bien entretenues.

Votre quai privé permet d'accéder facilement à l'étang Ninigret, à East Beach et au Breachway, où les activités nautiques telles que les palourdes, la pêche, la natation et le ski nautique abondent. Un pass pour un accès illimité à la plage et un parking gratuit est également fourni avec la location. L'emplacement idéal de la maison et de Charlestown permet d'accéder facilement aux nombreux restaurants raffinés de la région, aux attractions de Newport, à Block Island, au Mystic Seaport et aux casinos Foxwood et Mohegan Sun.

À Quitan, nous autorisons un maximum de six invités pour la nuit, y compris les enfants. Tous les membres pour la nuit de la partie locative doivent être nommés dans le contrat de location. Les fêtes et les animaux domestiques ne sont pas autorisés sur place et il est permis de fumer uniquement à l'extérieur.

Vous serez accueilli par le propriétaire le jour de votre arrivée. Nous vous remettrons les clés et le pass plage et après vous avoir orienté vers la propriété et avoir répondu à toutes vos questions, nous vous laisserons profiter de vos vacances privées en famille. Nous sommes facilement disponibles tout au long de votre séjour pour vous fournir toute l'assistance dont vous pourriez avoir besoin. Nous avons un intérêt supérieur à celui d'une société de gestion de 9 à 5 ans gérant de nombreuses propriétés et nous nous engageons à vous offrir une expérience de vacances supérieure.

La maison a été nettoyée par un professionnel avant votre arrivée et doit être laissée en l'état, à l'exception de l'aspirateur, de l'époussetage et du nettoyage en profondeur de la cuisine et de la salle de bain.
Tous les déchets doivent être déposés par vous pour le ramassage du samedi matin, le lave-vaisselle doit être allumé et vidé, tous les articles doivent être remis à leur emplacement d'origine et tous vos effets personnels doivent être retirés.

Des frais de nettoyage de 125 $ sont ajoutés à chaque location et sont dus avec votre paiement final. Une taxe de vente et d'utilisation de 7% au Rhode Island et une taxe de location à court terme de 1% (8% au total) sur le montant de base de la location et des frais de nettoyage (la taxe n'est pas appliquée au dépôt de garantie) sont collectées conformément à l'état loi. Les frais de nettoyage, les taxes et le dépôt de garantie remboursable de 500 $ sont dus avec le paiement final. Nous aviserons Homeaway / VRBO de retourner votre dépôt dans les deux jours suivant votre départ, à condition qu'il n'y ait aucun dommage dont le coût de réparation ne puisse être déterminé. C'est notre objectif et notre pratique standard de retourner votre dépôt rapidement et en totalité.

Selon la coutume locale, les clients fournissent leurs propres draps et serviettes. La chambre principale a un lit queen-size. La deuxième chambre a une paire de lits jumeaux et la troisième chambre a un lit double. Des couvertures, des oreillers et tous les articles ménagers nécessaires à un séjour confortable sont fournis.

Quitan was such a wonderful place to stay. We had an old New England summer for the week. There was space for everyone in our group to find quiet. The kitchen was just right with everything you need. Multiple outdoor spaces and a dock. It was nice to be able to leave the windows open and hear the seagulls. Very comfortable and fun.

This house worked out well for my family, with lots of comfortable spaces for everyone. We felt right at home among all the family memorabilia. We loved having access to the pond so we could get out easily on our kayaks. The kitchen is well stocked. I was a bit surprised that soap was not provided but that was easily remedied. Fans in all the bedrooms kept us comfortable at night but if the weather was hotter we would have had trouble sleeping. Overall we had a great week.

Our stay at “Quitan” was wonderful! The property is so charming. Getting to sit out on the screened in porch was one of our favorite things to do. Enjoyed looking at the water, so relaxing. The husband’s really liked fishing off the dock. The house brings with it a feeling of nostalgia, like being at grandma’s house in the country when you were little. We loved the beautiful antique furniture, vintage finds, and a plethora of wonderful artwork/memorabilia. We had all the amenities that we needed for a comfortable stay. We were there the first week of September, and a few days became unseasonably warm, but although there is no air conditioning in the home, we were comfortable with the fans that were provided. Just a heads up for anyone who has difficulty with stairs (bad knees etc.) the stairs that lead to all three bedrooms, since all are on the upper level, are quite steep. The heavy luggage was pretty rough on our poor ol’ husbands, but they managed. Not a deal breaker for us to not rent the property again, but would definitely pack lighter next time though, lol. Barry and Quay were very attentive and only a phone call away should any questions arise. Things of interest Newport with its mansions is a must see. We loved touring the Marble House Mansion. The Breakers Mansion tour unfortunately was sold out on that day. A trip to Mystic Connecticut since it’s close. All restaurant choices were delicious-Hungry Haven,Cap’n Jacks, Champlin’s. Loved RI! Entire trip-5 stars!!

Thank you for your stay and 10/10 review but particularly, thank you for your time in posting such a comprehensive review that, I am sure, will be helpful to other travelers. I know that your vacation travel by air presented additional effort and expense for you so I am very pleased that Quitan, our personal service and our beautiful smallest state of Rhode Island did not disappoint. While you had a very busy week sightseeing and sampling a few of the local restaurants, there is so much more to see and, I hope, that you might choose to visit us again. Thank you for being such fine and considerate guests. Best wishes to you, Barry, Quay (and the rest of the Quitan family and staff)

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.

Good morning, Jenny, Todd and Beau, We are so pleased to hear of the wonderful time that you had during your vacation at Quitan. You certainly packed many summer activities, as well as rest, into your stay. While we work hard to make the house and grounds as comfortable and appealing as possible and provide a pass for beach parking, we also encourage our guests, like you, to bring or rent boats, kayaks or bikes. Being able to get out on the water from your private dock for exploring, fishing, clamming or accessing secluded beach spots, brings the vacation to a whole different level. Thank you for your stay, your review and for taking such good care of our home. We hope to welcome you again for a future vacation. Sincerely, Barry

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!

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.

Dear Ann, Thank you for your stay and for your time in posting a review. We are glad that you enjoyed the pond, beaches and your vacation at Quitan overall. Nevertheless,, I would like to address two points about your commentary. First, there were eight additional dish/kitchen towels in the kitchen drawer with the garbage bags and wraps. When you said there were none, I assumed that a prior guest had inadvertently laundered them and taken them home with their own things. However, they are still in the drawer, washed, folded and ready for guest use. We'll point out their presence to guests in the future. Since you missed them, others may too. Second, we have reduced the furnishing of "kitchen staples" over the years and especially since COVID-19 as we have tried to minimize common-touch items. Generally, thirty years of rentals in Rhode Island and the Virgin Islands have taught us that most guests don't want to use opened food products such as oils, vinegars, ketchup, mustards, flour, sugar, etc. and have preferred to bring or buy locally the specific products that they use and like. I have also reduced the supply of dried spices but still leave basil, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper as well as a few baking spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract. They take up little space and guests can use them, or not. Last year, we also added, for guest use, a cutting garden of fresh herbs including oregano, thyme, basil, tarragon, chives, parsley and mint with the thought that guests could harvest directly from nature a few staples for their cooking needs. Thank you again for helping us in our efforts to understand and provide the features and amenities that are important to our guests. Best wishes, Barry

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!

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!

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!

Dear Jim and Pam, And for a third year, we were honored to have your family as our guests! I'm glad that the experience continues to bring you the same pleasure in Year 3 as it did in Year 1. We work throughout the year to keep things as good or make them better for you, our summer guests. I was happy to do some legwork to get you back on the road last Friday and to hear that you still managed to have nearly a full beach day as you contemplated your return home. Our thanks, as always, for your stay and if you decide upon a Year 4 with us, we will do our best to make it the best yet. Warm regards, Barry

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.

Good afternoon, Jay and JoAnn, Thank you for your stay and for leaving the house in such tidy condition on your departure. We are always thankful for that consideration. I was happy to hear that you appreciated the history of the house, the beautiful views, the many updates and the quiet privacy of the property. However, considering the personal effort that we put into the maintenance of the property and service to our guests, it is very disheartening to receive such a low rating. Unfortunately, your booking of a property without air conditioning, an amenity that we do not advertise or ever imply, coincided with an unprecedented nationwide heat wave. The Vrbo site allows travelers to apply filters to find properties that include the amenities that are most important to them. Air Conditioning is one of the filters that you can select. I am also sorry that you had difficulty with the shower doors. They were tight, clean and rolling freely in their tracks when this season’s first guest arrived three weeks ago and have never been a problem in the past. We are having them checked tomorrow. I stress in the rental agreement, as well as in direct communications with all guests, that they should let us know if there is anything at the house that requires repair or maintenance so we can make things right for them immediately. I did not hear from you during your stay even though we had corresponded directly multiple times on questions you had about the property, the most recent on the day prior to your arrival. I hope that you find a house next year that is perfect for your family. Again, I encourage you to use the filters in the system when doing your search and to review carefully the amenity list that is part of every listing before you book. Sincerely, Barry

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!

We are so pleased, Jason, that you and your family had an enjoyable visit to "Quitan" and that the focus of your activities was on the beach, the salt pond and all of the nature and wildlife that they offer. These are the same attributes that have been drawing leisure travelers, including our family, to our area for more than a century. Capt. Cascone was a wonderful find and we are already including his services in recommendations to our guests based upon your experience. While our listing and rental agreement, following the custom of local rental agents and cleaning services, do require guests to bring their own bed linens and towels, we do make an exception for travelers arriving in Rhode Island by air in which case, we furnish sheets, bath towels and beach towels, preparing those linens ourselves outside our contracted services. We thank you again for your stay and for your review and hope that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you again sometime in the future. Best wishes, Barry

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!

Hi Nancy, We're glad that you had a great and private week in spite of the unfortunate supermarket fall! We hope that your friend will have a speedy recovery. I'm sorry that you had trouble with the door lock. It is an old-style deadbolt lock that has kept our family secure since the 1930's. We will be sure to include instructions on its operation in future orientations. Best to you for the rest of the summer and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Barry
