Great stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the house—it was spotless and perfectly located. Newport is such a charming town with an abundance of unique shops, delightful restaurants, and rich history to explore. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!

Holiday Family get together

It was a good location in Newport, our oldest had rented this property a few years ago and she noted that it may not have been maintained in the condition from summer 2021. Also seemed a little unprepared for our arrival.

Nephew’s wedding

The property could not have been better as a place for our family to gather for a wedding. It was centrally located for easy walking, while the parking was a godsend when we needed to drive. The first floor is a great common space, while there are lots of bedroom options upstairs. Only disappointment was that the double bed mattress in the northeast 2nd floor bedroom sagged into the middle more than even the happily married couple wanted it to. Might be worth considering replacing it. Otherwise a great base for our time in Newport - many thanks!

Great location

The house was great with lots of space. We stayed with our daughter, her boyfriend and his family. Our daughter got engaged on this trip and we spent the week celebrating. There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone and lots of space in the living area for everyone. Walking distance to almost everything.

Great location!

My group of 9 loved our stay in Newport. The location cannot be beat and we didn't have to use our cars at all once we arrived. There was plenty of space, air conditioning worked well, and the outdoor area was a nice bonus. Jenny was responsive and flexible in our communications with her.

Great family place

My multi-generational family stayed to celebrate a graduation. The house was comfortable, easily accommodated us all and couldn't have been more centrally located for downtown Newport. The house was well-equipped (but bring soap and shampoo) and the owner communicated effectively. Great family place!

Great weekend rental!!

A group of 9 of us stayed for a girl's weekend and it was perfect. The location was amazing, a super short walk to downtown and everything you needed. Once we parked, we never got in our cars again. The house was in great condition and had everything we needed. Everyone slept great in the comfy beds! Thanks to the owner for her prompt responses to our questions before, during and after our stay. Highly recommend.
