About this house rental

# The Gatsby Beach Home | Private Waterfront Dock | Pond & Ocean Views

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.

## An Exceptional South County Location

The Gatsby Beach Home is ideally situated between **Green Hill Beach and Charlestown Beach**, putting you close to some of Rhode Island's most beautiful coastline while allowing you to return home to the peace and privacy of your own waterfront retreat.

Within an easy drive you'll find Green Hill, Charlestown, East Beach, West Beach, Misquamicut and Watch Hill, along with restaurants, shopping, homemade ice cream, golf, biking, hiking and family activities.

Explore the fishing village of **Galilee**, where you can buy fresh seafood and lobster near the docks, or head to Point Judith and take the ferry to **Block Island** for the day.

For a longer excursion, visit **Newport** for its famous mansions, sailing, shopping and waterfront restaurants, or spend an afternoon exploring the boutiques, restaurants and beautiful coastal scenery of **Watch Hill**.

## 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.

### Important Information

**Maximum occupancy: 8 guests**

To preserve the peaceful nature of the home and surrounding neighborhood, **parties, private events and family reunions are not permitted.**

References may be requested due to the unique nature and quality of the property.

**The Gatsby Beach Home is more than a place to stay—it's an opportunity to experience one of Rhode Island's most beautiful coastal settings from your own private waterfront retreat.**

My family stayed at the Gatsby House for my 60th birthday celebration. We had a lovely stay. The views from the rooms and deck are amazing. So nice to wake up to the beautiful sunrise and sound of water and birds. The house is located near many site seeing destinations and restaurants. Kevin is a great host. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a terrific week! The house is open and spacious. The peaceful location was so relaxing. My son loves crabbing and we caught quite a few keepers off the dock! Thanks for a great week!
