Great place in Middletown
Had a great stay here in early August. Home was perfect for our needs, and the pool was a great feature. Communication with the hosts was seamless and easy. Only recommendation would be for a few extra yellow trashbags to be left for future guests (Middletown trash bagging policy).

Great Place to Stay
This is the second year we’ve stayed at this great house for our family get away. The house is located close to the beach and quick drive into town. It’s always super clean and the accommodations for our family of 5 and 2 dogs can’t be beat. And the pool is an added perk! Sara and Lance are fantastic hosts!

Girls Weekend @ BlueHaven was a success.
We celebrated our annual Girls Weekend in Newport this year. BlueHaven was a perfect location (travelers from CT, NH, & MA) for the 6 of us to spend quality time together! Daily walks to 1st Beach and the Cliff Walk each AM, $8 Uber rides to Downtown Newport for dinner, a simple 8 minute drive to Newport Vineyards...just to name a few activities. The house was updated, clean and spacious with an excellent backyard for grilling, chatting on a lounge chair in the sun and taking a dip in the pool. A big thank you to our hosts who respected our privacy and also were easily available if we needed them. We hope to be back next year!

Awesome!
This house offers a fantastic Newport experience. My family and I were in town for a weekend and the house offered other family members a central location to check in with each other and figure out plans. Sara and Lance were very easy to communicate with and were responsive whenever questions arose! Apparently, Sara and Lance recently renovated the kitchen. It was gorgeous and very spacious open concept into the dining area. We would happily return some day!

Perfect stay! Just as described!
Enjoyed this property as a group of 6 adults and 1 infant - plenty of space for all! Some baby equipment provided. The location can’t be beat, walkable to many restaurants, beaches and the Cliff walk. Short drive to a grocery store and to downtown Newport. Interior and exterior were very clean, we loved having the privacy of a completely fenced in backyard and pool!! Kitchen was recently updated and is beautiful. Owner is very friendly, stopped by to welcome us, provided us with all details we would need for our stay. Would highly recommend booking house for your Rhode Island vacation. I look forward to coming back in the future.

Family time together
My college age kids and my husband and I hadn't spent family time together in almost a year and so this was time overdue. The location, with walking distance to the beach and with the pool in the backyard, made for lots of down time together. A short drive to Newport made for easy dinners out and fun shopping. Loved it!

The air conditioning in the basement was very loud and the downstairs bathroom needs to be updated. It is dark and hard to see. The pool was a great addition and helped to cool everyone from the walk back from the beach. Great vacation overall.

Beautiful home with great pool
Just stayed here for a few days with my family (adult kids, 83 yr old mom, husband and dogs). The house was very clean, updated and comfortable with plenty of room for all of us. The best part was having the beautiful pool in the back yard. We were just a few minutes drive from downtown for dinner, and in walking distance to the beach. Sara was fantastic to work with and we would definitely consider staying here again!

great home for extended family get together!
Large, clean, beautifully decorated home. Several dining place options! We had breakfasts in the large kitchen, dining area. The pool kept the kids busy after breakfast while some of us made lunches and packed cars for the beach We utilized the BBQ with large outdoor table for dinners. We walked to First Beach to see the after effects of Hurricane Henri and drove about 5 minutes to second beach for 3 days of sun and fun. Everything needed for all these events was provided by Sara and Lance. Kitchen equipment, toys, board games, beach equipment, coolers.... just bring beach towels, clothes, and buy groceries and you will be all set!! Enjoy

Nice time in Newport
The rental is in close proximity to Newport and a short drive to the local beaches. Our family (six adults and one child) shared four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The upper deck (with BBQ) and in-ground pool were wonderful. Plenty of beach chairs, toys and games for the children. Everything in the house (switches, central air, granite counter care, emergency numbers, utensils, etc.) are clearly labeled. The kitchen has all the things you need to prepare meals for a group- and the kitchen table seats eight comfortably. The owner took the time to stop by during dinner hour on the first day to answer questions and make sure that we had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Sara and Lance Minor

Host profile image
We have been in love with the Newport area for 20 years. My husband and I met windsurfing, and spent many a windy day on the shores of 3rd beach. We were engaged in Newport, and have spent all of our anniversaries there. Our dream was to eventually retire to this wonderful beaching and boating community, which we have now done and love it. We enjoy the charm of Newport, with its wide sandy beaches, and the friendly community.

What makes this property unique

Spacious home with amazing private inground Pool, large eat in remodeled kitchen, Central Air! A great spot to relax in the spring season and fall season when the beach is a little too windy and brisk! Our backyard is nice and sheltered. We open the pool early May and don't close it until early October.
