About this property

Spectacular Private Waterfront Home w AC, Decks and Views, and Elevator

Our custom-built (2005) year-round second home will welcome you to experience summer relaxation in style. The house is near charming Wakefield, Narragansett, Westerly and several of RI's best beaches, and we include a beach pass to Matunuck Beach. The house, equipped with an elevator serving all levels, is a three-level “upside down” house with central AC and gas fireplace; the main living, decks and master bedroom are on the top floor for maximum views of Green Hill Pond and your private yard. Start your day with morning coffee in the tree-tops on the top deck overlooking the pond. Head out to explore the pond by kayak or canoe from your private dock. Spend a cozy winter day reading by the fire, or watching the game on cable, or cooking in the oversized kitchen. Come summer, you can canoe, kayak, or rent an outboard from a local marina to cross the pond to a private beach; or drive to a different gorgeous RI beach each day. Come home from the beach to an outdoor shower, then enjoy sunset cocktails on the roof deck with views to the ocean and Block Island. Cook your dinner on the outdoor gas grill or in the large, well-equipped kitchen with double ovens, microwave, gas cooktop. Eat it on the covered deck or the large dining room. Then climb into comfortable beds in one of the four bedrooms (one king, two queens, two bunks) with the ocean waves in the background (or the quiet hum of air conditioning). The occasional rainy day? No worries! The upstairs living room is spacious for quiet reading, music (or napping), the downstairs living room has a smart TV with streaming, DVD, board games, etc. WiFi throughout the house. Mystic Seaport, Aquarium, Newport and more within a half hour’s drive. Our elevator serves all three levels so everyone can be included, and we have a Tesla Electric Vehicle charging station in the garage.

Second year didn’t disappoint!
We stayed at this beautiful property for the second year in a row and had a wonderful time. The house is clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a stunning view of the pond and tons of deck space. The kitchen is well equipped and great for cooking and sharing a meal as a large family group. There is ample space for lounging and for sleep (we shared the home between 5 adults and 4 small children). The home is close to the most beautiful beaches and easily accessible to so many great spots in RI. We have zero complaints and will definitely be back!

Perfect family vacation spot
The house is spacious and lovely and the salt water pond location is wonderful. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks and canoe as well as the beaches. The owners are very responsive and generous with supplies. All 9 of us had a terrific week!

I almost don’t want to let others know how great this place is…
I feel like by sharing my experiences everyone will want to stay here and it won’t be available for a future stay! This house was an absolute DREAM, and had everything you could possibly think of. The kitchen is spectacular and the upstairs is a great gathering place for families and friends. The views are nothing short of stunning. Sandy and Bernie are A+++ hosts who were friendly, responsive, and so very thoughtful in the way they had everything covered. By far the best rental we’ve had in RI.

Vacay at Green Hill Pond
We had a truly wonderful week. We had a wedding on Saturday and we were able to check in earlier, which was a lifesaver!! I highly recommend this house! We were a family of six and a two year old. The outside decks were greatly appreciated!

Pond side serenity
This is our second stay in this beautiful home. It has a wonderful view of Green Hill Pond and is a short car ride to a very nice beach and play ground. This home was perfect for our family to spread out in or enjoy each others company in either of the 2 spacious family room areas. With an inverted floor design, we were able to fully appreciate the views from the 3rd level living area or deck. The very private neighborhood was a big plus. Much kudos to the owners who were very gracious and accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Wood Forand or Bernie Forand

Host profile image
Our home base is in Hartford, Connecticut but we frequently escape to our home-away-from-home in Rhode Island, and enjoy traveling in our retirement. We built this -- Bernie's Dream House -- in the first year of our marriage in 2005 and both house and marriage are big successes. The house is large, to welcome various groupings of our 6 children and spouses, and 16 grandchildren, and numerous friends. After a walk, paddle on the pond or a day at the beach, we like to gather with friends or curl up with lots of books, whether on the deck or by the fire.

Why they chose this property

Bernie dreamed of a house near the beach his whole life, and having lived in Rhode Island in the past he gravitated to the beautiful RI beaches. He found the land in 2002 and started designing the house before he retired, and by the time Sandy came on the scene it had gone through five architects and numerous design phases. It was worth the wait -- the result is spectacular yet comfortable, expansive yet cozy in each area of the house.

What makes this property unique

Many families choose to rent our house because we have an elevator serving all three levels, so people who are less mobile can be part of the family vacation. Because it is our dream house, it has special touches like beautiful dark Brazilian hardwood and solid oak floors. One of the most striking features is our deck area -- there are 250 square feet of deck on the guest room level, an equal amount on the top main floor, a 150 square foot 'crow's nest' deck at roof level from which you can see the ocean and Block Island. (One of our carpenters assigned to the deck commented, 'There is as much room on these decks as in the whole house!')
