We had a wonderful time on Green Hill Pond. Kevin is very responsive. The home is exactly as described and pictured. It is a bit tricky to park at the beach hence the 4 stars for location but there many beach options nearby.

Four friends enjoyed a wonderful week in this well appointed home. Despite the rain, we had a wonderful time relaxing in the open space kitchen, dining, and living areas and the covered deck. Kayaking was a daily favorite. Easy trips to Newport, Narragansett, and Watch Hill kept us busy. Located near many local beaches and restaurants. Great home for rain or shine activities.

The deck (really more of an outdoor living and dining room) was the central gathering and relaxing spot during our week. Beautiful views at every time of day. Excellent kitchen for cooking and gathering. House was very generous and comfortable. We had a great week!

Beautiful home and area. Ideal location with decks overlooking green hill pond and a short paddle or ride to the beach. We spent a day on the water with the last boat rental of the season from Matt at Ocean House marina down the road. We slept well, prepared nice meals with the fully supplied kitchen, and enjoyed our stay. Thank you Kevin.

Despite a rainy and cold Memorial Day weekend, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Great Gatsby. Kevin was helpful and communicative right from the beginning. The home is just as described in the listing; clean, comfortable, and with a well-stocked, high-end kitchen. Thank you Lacilla Family!

A beautiful house with wonderful water views. Right on Green Hill Pond; plentiful and varied birdsong. We highly recommend renting a boat to access the private barrier beach on the ocean, a very brief ride straight across. Nice for kayaking-the house had four, singles and doubles. Owner's communication excellent. Currently, pond bacteria levels prohibit swimming. A great choice.

Wonderful home was exactly what was characterized. The location, style and feel of the home made it a real lake house getaway that our entire family enjoyed!

The house is beautiful with amazing views of the bay. The area is very pretty with lots of great restaurants within a short drive, and the nearby beach is absolutely beautiful. The house is cozy, well decorated and very well equipped with anything you might need for a comfortable stay. There are also kayaks for the whole family to enjoy. Communication was easy and check-in was super simple. We highly recommend it !!

We are from RI and absolutely loved our time at this house. My wife and I rented with two other couples and we all had plenty of space. Very clean and the location is perfect! I highly recommend renting a boat to access the beach. We look forward to renting again someday!

We rented this house for a week away with our family and our friends family. We all had a a fantastic week. Kevin’s information about the home and places to go or things to do were extremely helpful. Our families loved relaxing in the house on the deck each morning and late afternoon, taking a boat to the beach every day, shopping at the local market for dinner, and just enjoying the gorgeous lake views. Even our one rainy afternoon was nice because we so enjoyed being in the house. We explored the neighborhood, went on great bike rides, enjoyed the lake - kayaking, fishing and of course the beach! We all had a great time!

We had a fantastic weekend with old friends at this beautiful home. The house is lovely with a gorgeous deck right on the water where we spent a lot of our time and ate dinner each night. The layout of the house is perfect for couples and families, as there are four beautiful bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. We had a fabulous time and look forward to returning.

Very comfortable stay; lovely accommodations; unsurpassed view.
5.0 / 10.0
The house is as advertised with a great kitchen, nice finishes throughout and plenty of space indoors and out for relaxing and taking in the views. Location is awesome as the house sits on a fairly quiet pond, but the ocean is accessible by kayak or boat and the neighboring pond, which is easily accessible by boat (easy to rent), has more activity and opportunities for fishing, etc. Small grocery store, prepared food shop, bait shop, etc. nearby make for small-town feel, but enough access to anything needed for a stay.
We had a relaxing week of morning coffee on one of the two decks overlooking the pond, days of fishing/swimming/boating, and evenings of cocktails at sundown and grilling for dinner - a great place to get away and recharge.

We had a wonderful stay during our time at the Gatsby Beach Cottage. It's a beautiful, elegant house decorated to perfection. We had everything we needed during our stay and enjoyed being right on the pond. The owner was very responsive and left us with no unanswered questions. Many thanks for a great week!

We loved the home, rented a pontoon and enjoyed the beach. We will return in the future! The weather did not cooperate but still had so much fun on the expansive deck. Amazing place to rent!
