There are few places where you can wake up to a symphony of bird songs, watch herons, otters, woodchucks, deer and bald eagles during the day, see fields of fireflies at dusk and fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. This is one of them.
The water front summer beach cottage gives you breathtaking views of the salt pond in Charlestown, Rhode Island. Built into a hill this quaint cottage is bigger than it seems with 5 bedrooms and two living rooms. It over looks a cove that shows off spectacular sunsets from the deck as well as the inside living room or dining area. This cottage is located in a private association on a dead-end peninsula of Ninigret pond.
There is a private tennis court you can walk to and a private beach that can only be accessed by boat. The beach is on the barrier beach that faces block Island. It is the last undeveloped barrier beach on the east coast and it is just gorgeous with a handful of people for miles, even on the weekends.
Boats can be rented from the local marina. The town beach is about a 5 minute drive. The house is next to Ninigret Park which has walking trails, a wildlife refuge, basketball, tennis, soccer fields, observatory, playground and a fresh water pond. Although the town of Charlestown is a quaint and quiet town it has a thriving flea market on the weekends as well as other major events such as a seafood festival, Rhythm & Roots--check the Chamber of Commerce. There are several nice restaurants, shops, as well as art galleries.
Charlestown is about a 30 minute drive from Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casino. It is also 30-45 minutes from The Mystic Seaport and aquarium. Golf, Historic Newport and Block Island ferry.

    The cottage is really well laid out to maximize the space on both floors and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. It was great to have empty shelves in the kitchen and bathrooms to unpack our things and be comfortable for the week. Lots of room for our party of six to be together and spread out. We had a great time!

    The ever changing view of the pond is amazing! Loved having coffee on the deck in the morning with lots of birdsong, and enjoyed the view from the dining table and the kitchen as well. Rented kayaks for the week from Breachway Bait & Tackle, they dropped off and picked up. Went to Ninigret Park several times, visited local restaurants for seafood. The house and location was perfect for us. Kitchen is small, but had everything we needed. Lots of books downstairs, newer washer and dryer. We had a wonderful time at this cottage on the pond!

    We loved the location! It is very peaceful, and we kayaked and watched birds every day. We rented kayaks from Breachway Bait and Tackle and they delivered them. Ninigret Park is close by--go see the trolls! The house is equipped with everything we needed, and we loved the artwork in the house. Thank you!

    I needed a place other than my home to work from home. Found this property which was perfect in every way. From the views to the fully stocked kitchen, I couldn't have been happier. Super dog friendly. Very close to the dog park and beaches.

    Wonderful vacation! A little farther from the beach than I expected also beaches in the area fill up quick. View was fantastic! Salt pond perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. Wonderful area to ride bikes or for walking. Also, enjoyed tennis and basket ball. Sarah was very attentive and accommodating.

    If you like birdwatching, crab catching, cooking, playing boardgames and card games, watching sunrise, or stargazing, then this is the house for you. Above all, Perseid Meteor Shower watching on the deck of house, and then at Frosty Drew Observatory in Ninigret park (just a few minutes from the house) was unexpected but truly amazing treats for us on this trip.
