About this property

Elegant Thames St. Loft w/ View of Town and Harbor

Summary:
The Lookout Loft offers a front-row seat to Newport’s iconic waterfront energy. Perched above bustling Thames Street, from your windows you can catch the energy of Newport below and watch boats come and go on the harbor at Ann Street Pier. You’re steps from shops, top rated restaurants, the waterfront, and the water taxi. No need to drive - just park in the garage and explore the wharf, harbor, and iconic landmarks by foot all weekend.

The Space:
Inside, you’ll find an elegant retreat designed for a relaxed, elevated stay. Sunlight pours through the windows and skylights, offering views of the harbor and street below. The open living area has room to relax or stream your favorite shows, and the renovated kitchen makes it easy to cook in or bring back takeout from the countless nearby restaurants.

Three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for privacy and rest, including a spacious primary suite with its own bathroom. A second full bath and in-unit washer/dryer add convenience without compromising the residence's elegant character.

Park your car in one of the private garage spots and forget about it—you won’t need it. From this location, Newport is yours to explore on foot. Catch the water taxi at the end of the block, stroll to dinner, or simply watch the scene unfold from your windows above Thames Street.

Guest Access:
The Lookout Loft is located on the second floor of a building. You have access to the interior of the loft and 4 spaces in the parking garage across the street.

The Neighborhood:
Located in the heart of Newport, this condo puts you right in the middle of the action. Thames Street is just steps away, lined with boutique shops, cafés, and local favorites. Newport Harbor is a quick two-minute stroll, perfect for waterfront views or setting off on a sailing excursion. Bowen’s Wharf is also close by, just a three-minute walk from your door. For those wanting to explore Newport’s iconic landmarks, the Newport Mansions are a 17-minute walk, while the scenic Cliff Walk is just a minute further.

Getting around is easy, with the Newport Ferry Station a 10-minute walk away.

Getting Around:
Getting around the island is both easy and enjoyable. Many of our homes are situated in residential neighborhoods where walking, biking, scootering, or renting a golf cart offers a relaxed and scenic way to explore the area.

Other Things to Note:
For dinner we highly recommend The Fifth Element on Broadway. Second Beach is very popular and tends to have more waves. Third Beach is very child-friendly as the water is usually very calm and protected from the wind. The Atlantic Grill is a great breakfast spot and walkable from this property. Newport's Cliff Walk is another must do while visiting. Located on Memorial Blvd, just before you head into Newport. Ocean Drive is an 8-mile scenic waterfront must see. The views are incredible and the mansions on Bellevue Avenue are breathtaking.

Interaction with Guests:
We’re located just down the street and are always happy to assist should you need anything—don’t hesitate to call or text. Otherwise, we’re pleased to give guests the privacy and space to fully enjoy their stay.

Beautiful and Comfortable

Exactly as we were expecting! Beautiful, bright, comfortable and perfectly located! Exceptional detail in amenities provided. Communications with host were quick , friendly and very easy. Outstanding response time. Thoughtful placement of Sound machine in bedrooms helped with the late night noisy neighborhood which wasn’t overly troublesome just a bit frustrating. Overall an exceptionally great experience and we would happily return to stay again!

Beautiful House

The house was absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured. The location was amazing. We were centrally located to stores, restaurants, etc. It was really the perfect location. The only negative (which is of no fault of the house / owner) is the neighborhood was very loud at night. There were parties going on until 3 in the morning with people shouting which made sleeping difficult.

Great spot in Newport

The apartment was perfect. Cozy and clean. Right in downtown and convenient to everything. A little loud at night due to young kids leaving bars, but the owner was thoughtful enough to supply sound machines in all the rooms. Would definitely stay again.

We loved the location. Took two days to warm up the place but we understood it was empty prior to our arrival. It was clean and very inviting. We will be back again! Just not in January lol. We did get to see a beautiful snowfall from the front room. The windows gave us an amazing view.

The PERFECT place to stay

Loft was EXACTLY as described in the listing and the location could not have been better! This is how all VRBO’s should be-adequate amounts of items needed for our stay, such as paper products and soaps. Loft was exceptionally clean as well as all linens. Location is exceptional and most people would be able to walk to most of the restaurants and shopping since this unit is in the middle of it all! Parking is across the street, but plentiful and we were able to park at the unit briefly to reload our car at the end of our trip. (Parking at the unit belongs to the hotel behind the unit). We absolutely would stay here again and hope to in the future!

Great location for family fun!

Our family of five adults had a wonderful two night stay at The Loft. It was right downtown located near cafés, restaurants and near the mansions, etc. We were given two parking passes which were right around the corner from the loft super convenient.The loft had most of the amenities we could need. Bring bar soap! And since the location is right over shops and restaurants it was a little bit bright so I recommend bringing an eye mask for sleeping.

BRRRRRRRR!

When we arrived at the condo, it was 47 inside. We immediately turned up the heat, but with the high ceilings, it took over two hours before we could take our coats off and when we did, it was still uncomfortably cold. I didn’t realize there was an email with directions on where to park and how to get in, but once. I reviewed that, we were fine. Just not the easiest place to find the parking garage as it’s across the street and down the way. Very disappointed in our rating from the owner regarding cleanliness. We had five adult women there and left the place spotless. We were at the condo for one night and we cleaned up everything before we left. Late at night., When the bars were closing, it did get quite loud outside. The woman in the front rooms along with the back rooms all were awakened by the noise. The condo is beautiful but unfortunately, with it being so cold, it was hard to enjoy.

This was a very convenient location. The apartment was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. As many pointed out, there was some noise late at night from people coming back from bars, but it did not last too long. I highly recommend this place!

Lookout Loft was awesome!

We loved our stay at Lookout Loft, it was super clean, exactly as pictured on VRBO, comfortable, easy, clear directions for parking and check in. The location is fabulous, right above a store on Thames St, so we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. We had no issues with outside noise at night, we all slept great! We would definitely recommend and return!

Nice Property

We stayed here on a Saturday and Sunday during our honeymoon. Never having been to Newport, we didn't really know what to expect. The condo is clean and spacious. However, it is on the busiest street and is extremely loud. Even with the provided sound machines, it was difficult to sleep Saturday evening due to the noise. Sunday was a lot quieter and it was less of a problem. The biggest issue we had was due to spotlights that shine directly into the primary bedroom from the hotel behind it. It was so bright, we found it impossible to sleep in that room. I messaged Derek about the problem. He was quick to respond but nothing was available during our stay to fix the problem. Luckily, it was just two of us so we stayed in the bedroom that faces the street (the noiser of the rooms). He did say that he would let his staff know about the issue and fix the problem for the future. Personally, we would pick a quieter spot to stay next time. This is a perfect location for a group that wants to be in the heart of the action in Newport though. Location is perfect for that. We enjoyed the nearby coffee houses and restaurants. Parking is extremely convenient.
