Welcome to the Great Gatsby Cottage, a secluded, family-friendly waterfront home set along the quiet back side of Green Hill Pond, offering rare direct water frontage with both pond and ocean views and access.

From nearly every room—across the first, second, and third floors—you’ll enjoy stunning water views that define coastal living at its best. In the primary suite, open the double doors wide as you fall asleep to the sound of ocean surf. At night, moonlight reflects across the water, filling the room with a soft, peaceful glow—an unforgettable experience you’ll return for year after year. Step outside and enjoy life on the water. Crab, kayak, paddle, or boat directly from your own private dock, or take the provided double kayak and cross the pond to the barrier beach, where you’ll find peaceful seclusion far from public access. It’s the ultimate private beach experience. Prefer the open ocean? Green Hill Beach and Charlestown Beach are each a mile away, easily reached by bike or car.

This house is absolutely beautiful and in a private setting. We really enjoyed the welcoming and tasteful decor upon entry, and everything is modern and updated. The views are breathtaking, and there are so many balconies/decks which provided relaxing space for everyone in our party. Each bedroom has it's own bath and we really appreciated the toiletries provided. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we loved the open floor plan to the living room and being able to enjoy the view while cooking. The location is great, as it is close to many different beaches (we loved Charlestown Beach - the sand was really nice). You will not be disappointed renting this place!!!!! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret P. Jun 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house on Green Hill Pond A beautiful house with wonderful water views. Right on Green Hill Pond; plentiful and varied birdsong. We highly recommend renting a boat to access the private barrier beach on the ocean, a very brief ride straight across. Nice for kayaking-the house had four, singles and doubles. Owner's communication excellent. Currently, pond bacteria levels prohibit swimming. A great choice. ##### Margaret P.

You will absolutely fall in love with this house and it's gorgeous views from the moment you walk in the door. Everything is so tastefully decorated with an oceanlife theme throughout all of the rooms. The gourmet kitchen is elegant and well equipped and the winding staircase so impressive. All of the family pictures add warmth and charm to the decor. Even the wildlife flying and honking over the small islands are unique and entertaining. Everything was great and I highly recommend this house and location. Thank you so much to the owners for the privilege of renting this extraordinary beach estate! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donovan C., jersey city, usa Dec 13, 2018 #### well designed waterfront home location: A ... waterfront home on a small pond, facing a strip of land that faces the ocean. you can canoe across the pond to get to the beach/ocean house: A+ ... very well appointed & modern. bedrooms are separated & private, and most have private balcony & bathroom.

Jan 11, 2016 #### Amazing Home, Explosive Views With The Comforts O A classic shingle style beach home with all the comforts and then some. Truly enjoyed our stay, nothing was a miss. From the gourmet kitchen, Beautifully appointed décor, large bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 5 decks and incredible, peaceful views every night, this was truly one of our best vacations. Property was described perfectly, always felt like we were at home. This home had tons of natural light and views from every single room in the entire home. I think the owner told me there were approx. 75 windows throughout the home, so no matter where you went there was a view. We enjoyed our stay and we would not hesitate to return to the Gatsby Beach Cottage, but I really don’t think it was a cottage, more like a cottage on steroids. Grant Bakewell ##### Scott B.

My wife and I flew over from the UK to spend some quality time with our son, who was on Spring Break from the University of Rhode Island. Being an International sophomore student he was missing some family time with home cooking and it was important to us to be able to rent the right house, in the right location with all the comforts of home, in particular a superb kitchen! This house ticked all the boxes! It was perfect in every way! We had the most wonderful time and nothing was too much trouble for the owners, especially as the week turned out to be a very unusual cold "official" first week of Spring! We would highly recommend this property. The views are spectacular, the facilities excellent. The area has much to offer and we had many enjoyable trips out including the Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration in Connecticut and Cod fishing off Block Island on a boat before returning to the peace and tranquility of our "home away". This house gave us family bonding time with total relaxation!! Thank you ##### simon h. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### joanne l.

From the first whiff of sea air to beautiful landscaping, we were smitten.The waterfront house was very well appointed with multiple private porches to steal away & take a moment to yourself We opened the door and were greeted with an expansive wooden staircase had hidden lights at each landing.The kitchen had a stunningly beautiful variegated blue quartzite top that was mesmerizing to look at much less cook on. the kitchen boasted warming lights & a double dish washer.It was an open concept leading onto a covered porch. The porch had privacy drapes flowing & view as far as the eye could see. There was a kayak you could use to their secluded island. The master bedroom boasted another private porch with never ending views. The master bath had an over sized tub and the over sized shower had a rain forest shower head. We were reluctant to leave and take in the sites, just wanting to take in the ambiance of the home..The home owners could not be more accommodating indicating places to visit, local restaurants to dine at were available day & night to help out.They created a scrap book with pamphlets from local attractions. The home was a magnificent opportunity to be pampered and live in luxury. We felt like part of the family. ##### joanne l.

Jan 11, 2016 #### Fantastic home, charming, amazing views, beautiful What an incredible home and location, could not have been anymore pleased. This home has all the classic beach charm a renter would appreciate yet elegance and decor at the highest levels. Owner allowed us to have ten people and we had plenty of room with four bedrooms and all with their own private baths. Home also had two pull out sofas. What was ideal was the location and all the amazing decks with fantastic views. We had access to the beaches by walking, biking or just pontoon boating over. When we arrived, there was a pontoon boat that was delivered right to our dock. Every day we enjoyed crabbing and clamming between two different ponds. We made fresh linguini and clams! Just amazing. Having the pontoon allowed us to explore so many little islands as well as navigate to our own little private beaches where others never could get to without being on the pond. The best part was we made an adventure every day with the pontoon. We either went directly across the pond to private boat beach or a different beach in ninnigrett pond. Sometimes we just choose to have a nice glass of wine watch the sunset from the boat. Again, the location was serene and private unlike other beach homes we stayed that had loud renters next door with everyone being so close to each other. This home had ultimate privacy yet was a stones throw away from coffee houses, great restaurants, gas station, and markets. Definitely coming back!!! ##### Kevin L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise D. Aug 20, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our entire family, including our grandchildren, thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful and charming home! This glorious, beautiful, charming and spacious home was perfect for our Rhode Island family vacation. We loved having our rental pontoon boat rides, and adventures on the owner's fabulous kayaks along with our rental paddle boards! The private beach was a daily highlight for all of us! We really loved all of the outdoor living spaces!! Our mornings on the dock catching crabs was a favorite family activity! The views of the water and ocean were breathtakingly beautiful! Kevin's communication and phenominally helpful recommendations of restaurants/activities were such a gift to us. However, having to personally purchase and bring our bath towels and beach towels were quite costly and very inconvenient due to the fact that we were flying in from out of state. It would also have been better if the air conditioning was even throughout the house. The AC never reached the main level bedroom off the kitchen, and and lowest level bedroom AC unit was difficult to adjust as the room was either stuffy or freezing. Additionally, the kitchenware was not equipped for little children. For example, there were no plates, cups or silverware appropriate for toddlers (almost everything was breakable). All in all, our family built so many special memories in your home, and we are forever grateful to have spent a lovely week together on your spectacular property! We also loved exploring Newport and the Ocean House in Watch Hill. Rhode Island has beautiful scenery, charming homes, incredible waterfront and unbelievable sunsets. ##### Louise D.
