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.

LES AUTRES COMMODITÉS FOURNIES COMPRENNENT:

* Internet sans fil, télévision par câble, appels locaux et interurbains illimités aux États-Unis.

A gem of a property located on beautiful Ninigret pond. A beautiful private home where you can relax all day with a good book yet so close to everything that this fantastic area has to offer. We kayaked on the pond and enjoyed many evenings on the screened porch listening to the sounds of nature. Overall we enjoyed a very nice week at “Quitan”.

Amazing house and property!

This was our second summer staying at Quitan and we had a wonderful time. The waterfront house is a historic gem and the private gardens throughout the property are stunning.

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

VrboOwner a répondu le 15 août 2021
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!

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.

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

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.

Good afternoon, Lesley and Frank, We thank you for taking the time to post a review of your stay and are delighted that you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at Quitan. I am was happy to hear that your vacation activities ran the gamut from a black-tie gala in Newport to enjoyment of our local restaurants and, of course, a total "unwinding" at our beautiful East Beach. We are all appreciative of your stay and hope to have the privilege of welcoming you again next year. With sincere best regards, Barry and Whit (and the Brown and Hoelzel families)

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.

Dear Jim, Thank you for your visit to Quitan and, of course, for your lovely and comprehensive review. We think that it's a beautiful and unique vacation offering but it's nice to hear that others agree. We put a great deal of effort into the care of the property but also into providing personalized and attentive service to our guests during all phases of the rental process. It is rewarding to us when those efforts are noticed! We hope that your future summer vacation plans might bring you our way again. While I enjoyed the conversation and correspondence we have had since you booked last year, I hope that I will be the family member who has the pleasure of meeting you and your family next time! Sincerely, Barry (and Whit and Quay and Bill)

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.’

Good morning, Drew and Jillian, We are so pleased that you had a wonderful, fun-filled family vacation at "Quitan" and I thank you for your review. It was particularly rewarding for me to receive the pictures of your family enjoying themselves at the house, beach and on the boat and I appreciate your sharing them with us. I'm afraid that mosquitoes at dusk and dawn are a fact of life on the waterfront be it in Rhode Island or in the Caribbean. We are glad that the builders of our house had the foresight to include screened porches for morning coffee or evening cocktails when the skeeters are out as well as open decks to enjoy when the sun and sea breezes keep them away. Thanks again for your stay and we hope to welcome you again next season. Those sea bass are waiting for you! Best regards, Barry and Whit, Quay, and Bill

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!
