Great Newport experience!

House is situated conveniently on a peaceful and quiet block that is in walking distance of some very good restaurants and the Wharf. The inside is well maintained, with a very nice backyard patio. This is a perfect quaint spot for couples looking to just get out and spend time in the Newport area. Numerous activities are nearby; cliff walk, the outer perimeter road that outlines the coast. Mansions and little shops along with a small aquarium, to driving through Middletown up along the coast for more scenery. Would def book again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Shuler

Host profile image
Our family recently moved back to the northeast after spending 20 years in Colorado and California. Newport, RI has always been a special place for Stephanie who grew up in Connecticut and spent many weekends and summers enjoying all that Newport has to offer. Our family decided to purchase a few historic properties that were built in 1870 and have since carefully restored them to modern day use and efficiencies. The location of this "Sail Loft" cannot be beat! We believe that it is an ideal hotel alternative for couples and families who want to spend time in Newport, year-round. Our absolute favorite times of year in Newport are during the spring & summer, Jazz and Folk Festivals and December holidays but we truly appreciate any time of year in this special place. We love sharing this property with others and look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

This particular location is in the Historic District of Newport. There really could not be a better location for walking to the beach, downtown and trolley stop. This area has been gentrified over the years and the beautiful mature trees, cute shops and historic homes with people walking up and down the street makes this bungalow a very lively, special spot.

What makes this property unique

Our renters marvel at how many people stop to take a look at this bungalow, which many would call a tiny home. This is a very unique property in that it was an all-male bar back in the day and we once met gentlemen who stopped over to tell us all about the bar and what the property used to be like. This particular property is surrounded by quite a bit of land that the National Preservation Society owns so it is extremely private and yet the distant sounds of the nearby minor baseball league and music from various venues make it feel like it is truly located at the center of Newport life.
