Watch Hill Luxury by the Sea, Iconic 1852 School House, Beside Ocean House Hotel
Westerly, Rhode Island, United States
“Formerly part of the Ocean House Cottage Collection, The Schoolhouse is a rare standalone home (Fully remodeled and refurnished with Restoration Hardware Top of The Line Furnishings) located just steps from the resort on the ocean side of Westerly Road. Enjoy full privacy and space while being just a few steps to Ocean House dining, spa, and beach access — “Featured in Architectural Digest’s ‘15 Incredible Former Schoolhouses You Can Spend the Night In,’ this historic home is now exclusively available for the first time on VRBO.”brbrAlthough The School House is brand new to VRBO, guests can book with complete confidence. The property is owned and managed by a host with 17 years of experience renting luxury homes in Rhode Island, including 2 Arrow Wood Trail, a premier VRBO property with over 53 five-star reviews. The School House is a high-end home, newly made available on VRBO for the very first time, and this is the only reason reviews are not yet posted. The School House is a luxury Watch Hill home, with a proven five-star track record and a property that has already met the strict standards of the Ocean House Cottage Collection Program for many years. brbr Steps from Ocean Housebr • Private standalone cottagebr • Ocean-side locationbr • Boutique luxury staybrbrStep back in time while enjoying every modern comfort at The School House, a historic 1852 school lovingly transformed into a cozy oceanfront bungalow. Located directly beside the iconic Ocean House Hotel, this cottage offers the best of both worlds: the charm of Watch Hill history and the luxury of seaside living—with direct access to a residents’ beach, monitored by security. brbrRather than a small condo with limited space, enjoy the comfort of your own intimate coastal yard - a peaceful spot with ocean views, alfresco dining, evening cocktails and a picture-perfect backdrop of the Ocean House Hotel will make you feel right at home.brbrA Storied PastbrbrOnce a classroom for local children and later “Miss Stevenson’s Little Shop” for over 30 years, the cottage was ultimately re-imagined as a private residence. Its heritage lives on through soaring vaulted ceilings and original hand-hewn beams revealed during renovation—blending old-world craftsmanship with an airy, coastal design.brbrComfort & LayoutbrbrThe open-concept plan creates a light-filled space where the living room, kitchen, and dining area flow together beneath dramatic beams and ocean-view windows. French doors lead to a private porch overlooking views to the ocean, while a newly landscaped side yard offers a perfect spot for cocktails, grilling, or dining al fresco against a backdrop of ocean breezes.brbr2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 5brbrPrimary suite with king bed and en-suite bathbrbrGuest room with two twin beds and full bathbrbrLiving area with pull-out sofa and fireplacebrbrAmenitiesbrbrAir conditioningbrbrFull kitchen with Bosch washer/dryerbrbrPrivate driveway parking for 2 vehicles (rare in Watch Hill)brbrPorch with ocean viewsbrbrLandscaped 40-foot side yard with dining areabrbrDirect access to neighborhood, security-patrolled beachbrbrThe ExperiencebrbrWhether you’re enjoying your morning coffee steps from the sand, savoring a glass of wine on the patio at sunset, or strolling next door for cocktails or dinner at the Ocean House, your stay feels like a private suite within a five-star resort—yet with the privacy and comfort of your own seaside cottage.brbrThe School House is sheer Watch Hill perfection—historic, charming, and just steps from your own private residents’ beach.
