This beautifully designed and spacious 3 bedroom beach house sits on one of the most spectacular salt ponds in southern coastal Rhode Island. The home is situated on a corner of Ninigret Pond with your own private dock, mooring, and access to the Atlantic ocean. Via a quick motor or paddle, you can enjoy a picnic or beachcombing on beautiful East Beach for oceanside relaxation. Breathtaking, sweeping views from sunrise to sunset will make every day memorable. Quonochontaug, ???Quonnie??? is the nickname for this waterfront gem location. Located between two salt ponds, Ninigret Pond and Quonochontaug Pond, the area houses several hundred mostly summer residents. Today, many houses are available as summer rentals. Quonochontaug was a busy and fashionable resort of small hotels and boarding houses in the 19th Century, continuing up until the Great Hurricane of 1938. Blue Shutters Town Beach is located at the end of East Beach Road in Quonochontaug. To the east of Blue Shutters an unpaved road leads to the entrance of the Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge. The idyllic beach community of Quonnie is located 90 minutes from Boston and Hartford and a quick 3 hours by car or train from NYC. Perfect for families and groups of friends alike. Nestled between Watch Hill and Newport, Quonnie offers a laid-back, friendly environment that is a perfect escape for people of all ages. With beach access on the open Atlantic Ocean and both fresh and salt ponds, Quonnie affords pretty much every water-sport imaginable. While many choose to spend their time in Quonnie relaxing on the beach during the days and with a meal or cocktail overlooking the water in the evenings, there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. Watch Hill and its quaint shops and restaurants are a short drive up the road in one direction and Point Judith, Narragansett and Newport are in the other - providing access to all of the shopping, charter fishing and mansion touring that one could ask for. There are also eight golf courses within a 15 minute drive and for the more adventurous visitors; two of the largest casinos in the world (Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun) are just a short drive away.
