Newport in the fall

This VRBO is in the perfect location. We walked everywhere, well, except the mansions. That was a short drive. Great breakfast places just two blocks away. The hosts were great. The room has a very comfortable king bed and small sitting area. We hope to return on another visit to New England.

As advertised; great location

Our hosts did a magnificent job of describing their place and its location. It was exactly as advertised and all the necessary information was provided making our stay seamless. They did a great job of making use of every inch of space while still offering a quaint and artistic coastal New England/Newport vibe. It was an easy walk to the wharves and tons of shops and restaurants. 10/10 would stay again. One thing to note is it is located in a house where other people live so there is some associated "noise of living". We used a sound machine for sleeping and had no problems even with the windows open.

Comfortable home away from home

The owners truly thought about every possible comfort. From the beds and pillows to the coffee creamer in the refrigerator. Walkable to good restaurants and many attractions. The only downside is that the walls to the home are thin and sound travels through the floor so even when people above aren’t stomping, it sounds like they are. Despite this, we would stay again because it is otherwise perfect.

New England Charm

My wife and I are on a quest to have a date in all 50 states while one of us is 50. We were excited to mark our halfway point in Newport and bed down at The Seaside Retreat. We love Newport's charm, hospitality, and vibe. Our accommodations grew our love for all things Newport! Nestled along the narrow one-way streets that crisscross the city, it was ideally located only a short walk from dining, shopping, and the energy of the waterfront. The intimate space was beautifully maintained and immaculately decorated. The communication prior to and during our was pleasant, friendly, and prompt. It is an excellent place to spend a few nights in a fantastic city.

Great spot for your Newport visit

This was a cute little quaint place just enough for 2 people. The hosts were wonderful and the room was very clean and had everything we needed. Just a short walk to Thames St, the water and all the great restaurants, bars and shops. Would definitely recommend it!

Cozy Suite in the heart of Newport

I stayed here during the Newport Folk Festival and overall found it to be clean, and comfortable with easy access to the water taxi to Fort Adams and restaurants and the Jane Pickens Theater. The hosts were really kind and helped me get my large suitcase up the very steep steps to the suite. There isn’t a kitchen but there is a fridge for basics, like breakfast items and snacks. The bed is comfortable, though I didn’t spend much time sleeping as it turns out with after show’s running late. Cons: very steep flight of stairs to the second floor. Might be challenging to someone with mobility issues. Also, it’s unfortunately rather noisy. The walls are thin. The people in the suite next door were very early risers…sometimes at 5:00 a.m. They also had a young child and running feet (normal for a child that age) on hardwood floors meant when he or she was up, there was no getting back to sleep. Also, a/c seemed marginal. It was a small window unit, which cooled the bedroom well, but not the bathroom or sitting area.

Very clean and pretty VRBO - off street parking was a great find in Newport. The check in process was easy and we received great info from the owners prior to check in regarding restaurants. Once we parked our car, we were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go. We highly recommend this property.

Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed staying at Seaside Retreat. It was an easy walk to Thames St and all the best bars, shops and restaurants but far enough away that it was also super quiet and relaxing. The property is small but very clean and decorated well. Would definitely stay here again.
