Great Beach and Newport Location!
The house location and grounds are fantastic, with great beach and downtown Newport access. The huge lawn and plantings are kept meticulously well and the house is set between two gigantic mansions right next to the beach. You can hear the waves crash.
Inside, the house is adequate but unremarkable, and we had a few issues with moisture and musty smell in the downstairs level, inadequate lighting, and a very high step coming up to the entry door (hands over knees for a couple people in our party).
Cooking supplies are at a minimal level and the furniture is sparse and not very comfortable. The space is open and has a lot of unrealized potential to feel more homey and be better furnished and supplied. Next time, I would bring more of the creature comforts of home with me.
The shortcomings of the house were made up for by the location and I would consider going back for that alone. Five stars for location and three stars for the house itself.
