About this house rental
Tucked away at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway surrounded by flowering native shrubs and mature trees, **The Gatsby Beach Home** feels like a private coastal retreat from the moment you arrive.
Set directly on the peaceful back side of **Green Hill Pond**, this beautifully furnished waterfront home offers something increasingly rare in South County: **privacy, direct water frontage, a private dock, sweeping pond views, and views extending toward the Atlantic Ocean and Block Island.**
From nearly every room across all three floors, the water becomes part of the experience. Small island outcroppings dot the pond, boats drift by in the distance, and the view changes throughout the day as the light moves across the water.
## Wake Up—and Fall Asleep—to the Water
The third-floor primary suite may be the most memorable room in the house. Open the double doors and fall asleep to the distant sound of the ocean surf. On clear nights, moonlight reflects across the pond and fills the room with a soft glow.
Morning is equally special. Enjoy your coffee overlooking the water, watch the pond come alive, or step outside and start the day from your own private dock.
## Your Own Waterfront Playground
The Gatsby isn't simply a home with a water view—you have **direct access to the water from the property.**
Launch the provided double kayak from your private dock, paddle the pond, go crabbing, or bring a boat and enjoy Green Hill Pond from your own backyard.
For a truly unique Rhode Island experience, kayak across the pond to the barrier beach and enjoy a quiet stretch of sand accessible from the water—away from the crowds of the public beaches.
When you're ready for the open Atlantic, **Green Hill Beach and Charlestown Beach are each approximately one mile away**, easily reached by bike or car.

## A Different Kind of Rhode Island Vacation
There are plenty of beach houses in Rhode Island. The Gatsby offers something different.
Here, you can kayak from your own backyard in the morning, spend the afternoon at the ocean, return for dinner overlooking the pond, and end the evening listening to the distant surf with moonlight reflecting across the water.
It's private, peaceful and surrounded by water—the kind of place where the setting becomes as memorable as the vacation itself.
