About Sunrise Properties

Thank you for visiting Sunrise Properties, a division of Experience Real Estate.

We are a boutique vacation rental and property management company based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, specializing in thoughtfully managed vacation, academic, and yearly rentals throughout South County and surrounding coastal communities.

With more than 40 years of combined experience, our team brings deep local knowledge, hands-on service, and a genuine love for this area to both homeowners and guests. We believe great property management is about more than bookings. It’s about creating seamless stays, caring for homes as if they were our own, and making sure both owners and renters feel supported every step of the way.

As vacation rentals have evolved, so have guest expectations. Travelers today want the ease of instant booking paired with responsive communication, local expertise, and personalized service. That balance is at the heart of what we do. From helping guests find the right home for their stay to offering tailored recommendations once they arrive, our goal is to create an experience that feels effortless and welcoming.


Our Story

Sunrise Properties was founded by Kim Churas, Kara Churas, and Heather Kelley after years of working together in the Rhode Island rental market. Over the years, the team built a reputation for exceptional service, strong owner relationships, attention to detail, and a rental experience that brought guests back year after year.

Today, Sunrise Properties continues to offer a boutique approach that combines modern rental marketing with personal, local service. In partnership with Experience Real Estate and broker Kathy Schmitt, we also provide support for real estate sales and investment properties throughout Rhode Island.

Whether you are planning a coastal getaway, searching for a seasonal or long-term rental, or looking for trusted management for your home, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with you.
