Informazioni su questa struttura

Casa estiva classica sul lungomare con darsena privata

'Quitan' è disponibile solo per noleggi da sabato a sabato, con incrementi settimanali, per un massimo di sei ospiti da nominare nel contratto di noleggio. Feste ed eventi di qualsiasi tipo o dimensione, comprese le persone aggiuntive, non sono ammessi senza previa autorizzazione dei proprietari.

"Quitan" è una casa privata sul lungomare situata su un composto di quattro acri con facciata diretta e un molo privato su Ninigret Pond. Costruita nel 1874, questa casa era la fattoria originale di Nye per la proprietà che ora comprende le comunità estive di Tockwotten Cove e Pond Shore. La casa è rimasta nella stessa famiglia negli ultimi cento anni ed è offerta in modo selettivo per il noleggio estivo a breve termine.

Il primo piano della casa è composto da un ampio soggiorno, sala da pranzo formale, cucina con ponte sul lungomare, veranda con camino, veranda protetta e bagno di servizio con lavatrice e asciugatrice. Al secondo piano ci sono tre camere da letto e due bagni. La camera da letto principale ha il bagno en-suite e una grande terrazza privata. Tutte le camere hanno vista ininterrotta su Ninigret Pond, sulla spiaggia di sbarramento e sull'Oceano Atlantico con Block Island oltre.

Poiché la casa è stata mantenuta da una famiglia come residenza estiva per molti anni, il suo fascino, i servizi e le decorazioni sono molto più di un gradino sopra il tipico affitto estivo. La casa è arredata in uno stile eclettico e confortevole con una combinazione di oggetti d'antiquariato, vimini, arte e manufatti che ti delizieranno e ti interesseranno. Mentre sono forniti tutti i comfort moderni, questa casa speciale mantiene la sensazione di vita semplice e gentile che caratterizzava le colonie estive di un tempo precedente. I terreni di Quitan comprendono ampi giardini perenni, rose e arbusti fioriti che circondano la casa e ampi prati ben curati.

Il molo privato offre un facile accesso a Ninigret Pond, East Beach e Breachway, dove abbondano le attività acquatiche come le vongole, la pesca, il nuoto e lo sci d'acqua. Un pass per l'accesso illimitato alla spiaggia e un parcheggio gratuito è fornito anche con il noleggio. La comoda posizione della casa e di Charlestown offre un facile accesso ai numerosi ristoranti della zona, alle attrazioni di Newport, a Block Island, a Mystic Seaport e ai casinò Foxwood e Mohegan Sun.

A Quitan, consentiamo un massimo di sei ospiti durante la notte, compresi i bambini. Tutti i membri durante la notte della parte in affitto devono essere indicati nel contratto di noleggio. Feste e animali domestici non sono ammessi nei locali e è consentito fumare solo all'aperto.

Sarai accolto dal proprietario il giorno dell'arrivo. Ti forniremo le chiavi e il pass per la spiaggia e dopo averti orientato verso la proprietà e aver risposto a qualsiasi domanda tu possa avere, ti lasceremo per goderti la tua vacanza in famiglia privata. Siamo prontamente disponibili per tutto il soggiorno per fornire tutta l'assistenza di cui potresti aver bisogno. Abbiamo un interesse maggiore rispetto a una società di gestione da 9 a 5 che gestisce molte proprietà e ci impegniamo a offrirti un'esperienza di vacanza superiore.

La casa è stata pulita professionalmente prima del vostro arrivo e deve essere lasciata nelle condizioni trovate, ad eccezione dell'aspirazione, della spolverata e della pulizia accurata della cucina e del bagno.
Tutti i rifiuti devono essere eliminati per il ritiro del sabato mattina, la lavastoviglie deve essere eseguita e svuotata, tutti gli articoli devono essere riportati nella loro posizione originale e tutti gli effetti personali devono essere rimossi.

Una tassa di pulizia di $ 125 viene aggiunta a ogni noleggio ed è dovuta con il pagamento finale. Un'imposta sulle vendite e sull'uso del Rhode Island del 7% e un'imposta sull'affitto di abitazioni a breve termine dell'1% (totale dell'8% di imposta) sull'importo di affitto di base e le spese di pulizia (l'imposta non è applicata al deposito cauzionale) sono riscosse in conformità con lo stato legge. La tassa di pulizia, tasse e deposito cauzionale rimborsabile di $ 500 sono dovuti con il pagamento finale. Informeremo Homeaway / VRBO di restituire il deposito entro due giorni dalla partenza, a condizione che non vi siano danni il cui costo per la riparazione non possa essere accertato. È nostra prassi oggettiva e standard restituire il deposito tempestivamente e per intero.

Per abitudine locale, gli ospiti forniscono le proprie lenzuola e asciugamani. La camera da letto principale ha un letto matrimoniale. La seconda camera ha una coppia di letti singoli e la terza camera ha un letto matrimoniale. Vengono fornite coperte, cuscini e tutti gli oggetti domestici necessari per un soggiorno confortevole.

ALTRI SERVIZI FORNITI COMPRENDONO:

* Griglia a gas
* Internet wireless, TV via cavo, chiamate locali e interurbane illimitate negli Stati Uniti.

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)

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.

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

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.

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
