Klassisches Sommerhaus am Wasser mit eigenem Dock

'Quitan' ist nur für Anmietungen von Samstag bis Samstag in wöchentlichen Schritten verfügbar, wobei maximal sechs Gäste im Mietvertrag genannt werden können. Partys und Veranstaltungen jeglicher Art oder Größe, einschließlich zusätzlicher Personen, sind ohne vorherige Genehmigung der Eigentümer nicht gestattet.

"Quitan" ist ein privates Haus am Wasser auf einem 4 Hektar großen Grundstück mit direkter Fassade und einem privaten Dock am Ninigret Pond. Dieses Haus wurde 1874 erbaut und war das ursprüngliche Nye-Bauernhaus für das Anwesen, das jetzt die Sommergemeinden Tockwotten Cove und Pond Shore umfasst. Das Haus ist seit 100 Jahren in Familienbesitz und wird selektiv zur kurzfristigen Sommervermietung angeboten.

Der erste Stock des Hauses besteht aus einem großen Wohnzimmer, einem formellen Esszimmer, einer Küche mit Wasserdeck, einem Wintergarten mit Kamin, einer abgeschirmten Veranda und einem WC mit Waschmaschine und Trockner. Im zweiten Stock befinden sich drei Schlafzimmer und zwei Badezimmer. Das Hauptschlafzimmer hat das Bad en-suite sowie eine große, private Sonnenterrasse. Alle Zimmer bieten einen unverbauten Blick auf den Ninigret Pond, den Barrier Beach und den Atlantik mit Block Island dahinter.

Da das Haus seit vielen Jahren von einer Familie als Sommerresidenz geführt wird, sind Charme, Ausstattung und Dekoration mehr als nur ein Schritt über die typische Sommervermietung hinaus. Das Haus ist in einem vielseitigen und komfortablen Stil mit einer Kombination aus Antiquitäten, Korbwaren, Kunst und Artefakten eingerichtet, die Sie begeistern und interessieren werden. Während alle modernen Annehmlichkeiten zur Verfügung gestellt werden, bewahrt dieses besondere Haus das Gefühl eines einfachen, liebenswürdigen Lebens, das die Sommerkolonien einer früheren Zeit charakterisierte. Auf dem Gelände von Quitan befinden sich weitläufige mehrjährige Gärten, Rosen und blühende Sträucher, die das Haus und die breiten, gepflegten Rasenflächen umgeben.

Ihr privates Dock bietet einfachen Zugang zum Ninigret Pond, zum East Beach und zum Breachway, wo Wassersportarten wie Klettern, Angeln, Schwimmen und Wasserski im Überfluss angeboten werden. Ein Pass für unbegrenzten Zugang zum Strand und kostenlose Parkplätze sind ebenfalls im Mietpreis enthalten. Die günstige Lage des Hauses und von Charlestown bietet einfachen Zugang zu den vielen guten Restaurants der Gegend, den Sehenswürdigkeiten von Newport, Block Island, Mystic Seaport sowie den Kasinos Foxwood und Mohegan Sun.

Bei Quitan sind maximal sechs Übernachtungsgäste inklusive Kinder erlaubt. Alle Übernachtungsmitglieder des Mieters müssen im Mietvertrag genannt werden. Partys und Haustiere sind auf dem Gelände nicht gestattet und das Rauchen ist nur im Freien gestattet.

Sie werden am Tag Ihrer Ankunft vom Eigentümer begrüßt. Wir geben Ihnen die Schlüssel und den Strandpass und nachdem Sie sich an der Unterkunft orientiert und Ihre Fragen beantwortet haben, können Sie Ihren privaten Familienurlaub genießen. Wir stehen Ihnen während Ihres gesamten Aufenthalts jederzeit zur Verfügung, um Ihnen bei Bedarf weiterzuhelfen. Wir haben ein größeres Interesse als eine 9- bis 5-köpfige Verwaltungsgesellschaft, die viele Immobilien verwaltet, und sind bestrebt, Ihnen ein erstklassiges Urlaubserlebnis zu bieten.

Das Haus wurde vor Ihrer Ankunft professionell gereinigt und sollte mit Ausnahme des Staubsaugens, Staubwischens und der gründlichen Reinigung von Küche und Bad in unverändertem Zustand belassen werden.
Der gesamte Müll sollte von Ihnen zur Abholung am Samstagmorgen entsorgt werden. Der Geschirrspüler sollte gelaufen und geleert werden. Alle Gegenstände sollten an ihren ursprünglichen Ort zurückgebracht und alle persönlichen Gegenstände entfernt werden.

Eine Reinigungsgebühr in Höhe von 125 USD wird zu jeder Anmietung hinzugerechnet und ist mit der endgültigen Zahlung fällig. Eine Umsatz- und Nutzungssteuer von 7% auf Rhode Island und eine Kurzzeitmietsteuer von 1% (insgesamt 8% Steuer) auf den Grundmietbetrag und die Reinigungsgebühr (auf die Kaution wird keine Steuer erhoben) werden in Übereinstimmung mit dem Bundesstaat erhoben Gesetz. Die Reinigungsgebühr, Steuern und Kaution von 500 $ sind mit der Restzahlung fällig. Wir werden Homeaway / VRBO benachrichtigen, dass die Kaution innerhalb von zwei Tagen nach Ihrer Abreise zurückerstattet wird, sofern keine Schäden vorliegen, deren Reparaturkosten nicht festgestellt werden können. Es ist unser Ziel und unsere übliche Praxis, Ihre Einzahlung unverzüglich und vollständig zurückzuzahlen.

Gemäß den örtlichen Gepflogenheiten stellen die Gäste ihre eigene Bettwäsche und Handtücher zur Verfügung. Das Hauptschlafzimmer verfügt über ein Queensize-Bett. Das zweite Schlafzimmer hat zwei Einzelbetten und das dritte Schlafzimmer hat ein Doppelbett. Decken, Kissen und alle für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt notwendigen Haushaltsgegenstände sind vorhanden.

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. We love that it has a dock and have rented kayaks to enjoy the salt pond. This is a very unique and special property. We hope to return!

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.

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!

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

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.

Antwort von VrboOwner am 15. Aug. 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!

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.

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

An Amazing Piece of Heaven!

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!
