About this property
Charming cottage with fabulous pond views, kayak pond access & minutes to beach.
Step back in time to a tranquil beach community with a charming two-bedroom cottage. This beach cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, and a wraparound deck with a screened-in porch. The house has new air conditioning throughout for your comfort. A sunny light bathroom and a large outdoor shower.
Located in a peaceful neighborhood, the cottage is conveniently situated across the street from a saltwater pond ideal for kayaking and canoeing. Just down the street, you’ll find a boat launch and a “kiddie” beach. You can easily walk, bike, or drive less than one mile to miles of beautiful ocean beach. The cottage also comes with a parking pass for the local beach lots and is dog-friendly.
The cottage sits on a landscaped corner lot with fantastic views of the pond. Enjoy watching the sunrise over the water with a cup of coffee in the kitchen or on the screened-in porch. The nearby lot is perfect for launching kayaks or canoes, and you can bring chairs to relax by the water with a book or snack.
For outdoor enthusiasts, this location is ideal for kayaking, birdwatching, and hiking. The local Green Hill and Ninigret salt ponds are ideal for exploring, swimming, and birdwatching. It's just a quick bike ride to Trustom Pond or Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge for birdwatching and to Charlestown Breachway for fishing. The Kayak Centre offers rentals, tours, and guided services. There are excellent biking options, including a bike path that's ideal for rollerblading and wide-open neighborhood streets.
In the local area, you'll find a neighborhood bakery with excellent coffee, an ice cream shop, and many casual dining options, all within a mile's bike ride or a short car ride. There's also a farmers' market featuring local produce and handmade items, a weekly antique market with vendors from throughout New England, and a nearby mini golf course. The community boasts a vibrant and welcoming cultural scene, including local galleries, the Courthouse Center for the Arts, and Theatre by the Sea.

We had such a great stay at this cottage! It was cozy, comfortable, and really felt like a home away from home. We loved the location and being able to enjoy Charlestown and the surrounding area.We also really appreciated how understanding and accommodating the host was when the weather caused us to delay our arrival. She was so kind, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout everything. It made a stressful situation so much easier, and we really appreciated her working with us.We had a wonderful vacation and honestly didn’t want to leave! We would definitely stay here again and would happily recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Thank you! It was a pleasure to host you. I'm glad you had great weather. Hope to see you next year!
It was our 3rd time there and we still love it. The AC splitters are a nice addition. Location is perfect in a quiet little neighborhood right across from Green Hill Pond. Kayak in the morning and hit the beach in the afternoon. Nice having a beach pass for the town beaches. We'll be back!
Perfect location, beautiful view. Perfect property for our relaxing family vacation. My kids loved the walkable kiddie beach and direct pond access area. The half screened in porch was ideal. The included town beach parking pass is fantastic.

Laura, I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. I hope you will consider returning. I'm always looking for ways to enhance my guests' experience, so please let me know if you have any suggestions. Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer, Anita
Anita’s place was great. Beautiful views and a great location. Close to beaches, restaurants, ice cream, coffee and smaller shops. I was with my wife, two daughters and two dogs. We’d come back in a minute!!!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! The screened-in porch was a definite highlight. When we managed to pull ourselves away from the great views, we loved how close the beach and nearby attractions were. Anita was incredibly responsive and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience!

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I wish I had known and could have responded if you had let me know while you were staying in the house. Thank you, Anita
Loved our time at this property. Will return again next summer.
I can’t decide what about this property is my favorite but time spent with my small family on the screened in porch was at the top of the list. We loved it!!

Thank you, Maude. I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay. The screened porch is also my favorite spot. See you next year! Anita
The cottage is lovely - Views of the water, close to all amenities, the stay couldn't have been better. If you have canoe or kayak, the access across the street is wonderful! Thank you Anita for sharing your home!

Thank you, I love hearing that people had a wonderful vacation. Take care and see you next year. Anita
The cottage has a large screened porch that looks out across the street to Green Hill Pond. It is a great spot for morning coffee or to enjoy a peaceful evening.
East to find, easy to get in, easy place to stay. Wonderful view of pond from deck, screened porch, and living room. Comfortable house furnished with everything I needed. Would absolutely stay here again.

Thanks, Kathleen,
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Take care and be well-anita
The screened porch makes this cottage! Along with the view! Quiet neighborhood. Cute cottage with brand new bath & updated kitchen. Plenty of seating indoors & outside. So many beaches close by - and more about 15 or 20 minutes away. Would stay here again!

Nice view and convenient location. Access to pond great. House not clean.
Wonderful view of the pond and a slice of beach heaven
Loved everything about it. Screened-in porch and deck to enjoy sunrises , the sound of the ocean and afternoon breezes. Cottage was just as described and clear communication with Anita. Can’t wait to go back next year!

Why they chose this property
The cottage is my 'getaway' and I have been fortunate to share it with many wonderful guests. Over the years, we have built a community of returning guests who have become part of the neighborhood. I trust them with my cottage, and they trust me to provide them with a well-cared-for vacation cottage in a friendly neighborhood and lovely community.
What makes this property unique
What I have heard from my guests is that the cottage is lovely, well-maintained, and welcoming. The screened porch with a view of the pond is excellent. It's an easy place to relax. I'm fortunate to have wonderful, friendly neighbors and a great location. If you want to unwind, this is your spot.
