About this property

Sunny And Dramatic 4 Bed Perfectly Located In Downtown Newport

This is sunny two floor apartment with an open plan and dramatic architecture in the dining area. It's got a bit of the old Victorian "East Lake" feel in the master bed room and is quite modern in other areas. It's a pretty big place that's great for groups and families.

It is one block from the Aquarium / bus depot and one block from Washington square so right at the edge of downtown but still an easy drive in and out. But who wants to drive when all of town is walking distance right out the door! There are numerous restaurants, bars, cafes, the harbor, and cultural things just blocks in every direction.

The Apartment is up one very steep and a second regular flight of stairs - on the 3rd and 4th floor. We just don't want you to be surprised at the steep stairs or the 3rd floor walkup. However once up there you have views of Thames St, the baseball park, and a bit of the harbor and downtown from the skylights and the deck. It's also very sunny with a great breeze and people rarely use the AC, however there are units in all 4 bedrooms and a good mini split that covers the whole main living area.

Free wifi is available through out the apartment and runs off my business class service.

We have a 55" tv in the living room with a Roku where you can sign in to your Netflix, Amazon or Hulu accounts.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a Jenn-air range, ice maker fridge, Keurig, microwave, toaster oven, and dishwasher. There is an extensive set of kitchen utensils, plates and silverware as well.

There is a washer/dryer stack on the 4th floor

The bedrooms are a king and queen on the 3rd floor. On the 4th floor there is a queen bed in one room and the other has two twin XL beds.

We've got two brand new bathrooms and all new furniture in the bedrooms as well as a whole collection of brand new linens and towels including beach towels. We take great care with the linens, rotating through three sets of quality and attractive duvets and sheets.

Over the winter of 2018/19 we are repainted it and it's now a spectacular RED.

We also have free off street parking for 3 cars right along the building.

One of us is usually available to help with information since my business is the photo studio/gallery on the ground floor. Just let us know how we can help!

Awesome apartment

Everything about this apartment is excellent. There were 8 of us for our 3 night stay. There was plenty of room. And it’s in a great location.

Absolute Gem

It is near everything but just far enough away to be quieter. The bus stop for the free #67 trolley, which whisks you to all the great attractions, is just outside. Great experience with the property manager. Highly recommend!

Great apartment in a perfect location

The apartment is clean, bright, and airy and is perfectly situated near downtown Newport. We had a family wedding and were able to walk to every venue during the weekend. Be aware that accessing the apartment requires going up two flights of fairly steep stairs. Not a problem for any able-bodied person, but perhaps a challenge for an elderly person or someone physically compromised.

Perfect for getting ready to go to a family wedding

This property was perfect for getting ready for a Friday afternoon wedding at nearby Belle Mer. Slept 4 adult couples more than comfortably and every one had space to get ready. Breakfast staples were provided and an added bonus. This rental also had games! Super easy for 3 vehicles to park as we all were in and out at various times. We were coming in after work from Boston, and the hosts made sure to accommodate our later check-in. Highly recommended!

Beautiful home, perfect location

This home is in the perfect location for visiting Newport, Rhode Island. We were a group of 8 with everyone from small children to teens to adults - the 4 bedrooms over 2 floors worked out perfectly for us. The place is immaculately clean and comfortable. We were walking distance from the marina, shops, and restaurants, and close driving distance to the bigger beaches and the Cliff Walk. Kate and Sandy had it perfectly arranged for us when we arrived and were available for local advice when we asked. I would happily stay here again.

Excellent location and place, a little tough during a hot, humid week.

So the owners are great. They thought of everything you could need. They were really responsive when we asked for something. We were well aware beforehand about the stairs situation... they are steep and there are a lot of them. But the only real issue we had trouble with was that due to the small upstairs windows the bedrooms up there only have portable air conditioning which is not really efficient on super hot and humid days, and the main areas are not air conditioned at all. It was tough to come home from a hot day out, to a hot, humid living room and warm bedroom. Overall, the place is really well setup for groups. Loved the balcony overlooking the baseball field. Kitchen had everything we needed and more! Having 2 full bathrooms worked great. Beds were comfortable and the decor by Sandy was beautiful! Finally, the location really was the best. With easy off street parking, we were able to get to most places by foot.

Great space & location with Newport charm

We came to Newport for a friend’s wedding and couldn’t have been happier with our choice of lodging. The owners were very attentive and accommodating. The space was perfect for our 6-person party. The location was exactly what we wanted - close to the downtown spots but still far enough away to not hear every bit of nightlife. We all have nothing but positive remarks about this spot and are hoping to return for an anniversary retreat in the upcoming years. Thank you Sandy and Kate for the perfect stay!

Perfect location!

Four couples recently rented this property for my son’s surprise 40th birthday weekend. Since I was the primary renter, the review falls to me. Unfortunately, my husband and I were too sick to be there, so I’m basing this review on the other three couples opinions. The space was extremely clean and came with every thing one would want. The location was perfect. They never needed a car for the weekend activities. Prior to the weekend, the owner was easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. A representative for the owner met my daughter and her husband upon their arrival, gave them a tour and answered any questions. The only drawback I heard was that they were told several times that they needed to be quiet since people lived below. This was not an issue for us, it could be if you were traveling with children (the only reason for 4 stars not 5). I would rent this property again and would definitely recommend it to others.

Clean, spacious, comfortable condo in great downtown location.

We had a wonderful family reunion of 7 people--3 generations. Sandy and Kate went out of their way to make us welcome with games for all ages (on the one rainy day), food in the kitchen to get us started (eggs, bread and coffee), and even bathrobes for all. The condo was perfect for walking to downtown shops and restaurants and there was plenty of parking for guests. The beds were especially comfortable. We have no reservations about recommending this property to anyone visiting Newport!

Fantastic getaway in the heart of downtown Newport

A group of friends and I stayed at this lovely apartment over Labor Day weekend. The apartment is updated, spacious, and fully equipped with all amenities. Sandy and Kate even left us some wine, breakfast supplies, and coffee! We had a great time cooking out on the grill and eating dinner around the large dining room table. For nights that we wanted to eat out and explore the lively Newport bar scene, there were plenty of options just a short walk away down Thames street. Everything about the apartment was clean, the beds were comfortable, and Sandy and Kate were wonderful hosts. Next trip to Newport, we would absolutely stay here again! We only have positive things to say about our weekend in Newport!

We had the best time in Newport! We were in town for a wedding with 4 couples and it couldn't have been a better experience and place to stay. Sandy and Kate were very accommodating with anything we needed and the location was ideal. Highly recommend staying at their lovely apartment!

Great location, comfy and has tons of amenities

My husband and I stayed here along with family and friends for the 2017 Newport Jazz Festival. It was six of us and one 11 year old. We all loved it. The apartment has a wonderful open plan and the place was spotless and nicely decorated. There are board games and picture books plus a TV (Roku) so most will be entertained. The deck seats 4 or 5 comfortably and offers a partial view of the baseball field nearby (no intrusive noise). Sandy (Alexander) and Kate left the kitchen well stocked with soft drinks, breakfast fare, coffee and more! Everything you could need is within walking distance as well. Shops, restaurants, and the dock for water shuttles is maybe 2 blocks away. I received a nice welcome message from Kate and they leave you a good guide to local activities. We are already talking about coming back!

Beautiful, modern, spacious, comfortable and well-located

We had a great time staying at Sandy and Kate's property, which is located across from the public parking lot on Thames Street. The apartment was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the bath robes they provided. We were able to walk to the restaurants that we had reservations at because of the convenient location of the apartment. There was ample parking and one of the tenant's was helpful when we had questions. My only complaints are that the kitchen could use some more equipment (we needed a large pot and a baking sheet, but other than that it had everything we needed). Additionally, it can be rather loud at night because of the location, but this can be expected when staying in an area near many bars and public parking. I would 100% stay here again!

Perfect Place for a Reunion

"Sunny and dramatic" is right on, but fails to include "comfortable and thoughtfully designed." The home served us well for a reunion of five college friends. Two bedrooms and a bath in the loft, and two bedrooms and a bath on the main floor. Kitchen, living room, and dining area set up for easy conversation, no matter where someone was on the main floor. The owners were great--friendly, flexible, and accommodating. They kindly stocked the fridge with breakfast ingredients and beer and provided coffee and tea and miscellaneous kitchen staples. We had an easy walk to restaurants, historic buildings, and the harbor. From the upstairs bathroom, we had a view of the bridge at night. We highly recommend that you stay here if you need four bedrooms. However, please don't request this place on a weekend that we plan to return....

About the host

Hosted by Alexander Nesbitt

Host profile image
I grew up in Newport about 1/4 mile from the property. I like to travel and see the world but I love Newport and have always come back home. I'm a photographer and maker of things and have been working out of the studio/gallery on the ground floor since 2000.

Why they chose this property

When I first bought the property in 1998 this unit fascinated me with the creative reimagining of the victorian era interior. They took the live-in attic and turned it into the balcony area overlooking the 3rd floor and something quite magic was created. I've rented it for years and lived in it myself for 3 years but now I saw the chance to completely redo it. It's got brand new bathrooms and a full rehab to make it a one of a kind vacation spot in Newport. I love to toy with design ideas and find ways to display my artwork so of course we have filled the place with as many art and furniture gems as we can find. That part is kind of on going so I'll do my best to keep the photos current.

What makes this property unique

We're right on the edge of the busy section but just before the one way streets completely lock you in. It's easy to get to and easy to get away plus you can walk right over from the bus station. You really do not need a car for this rental.
