Luxury Boutique Guest Quarters with Private Entrance

We definitely enjoyed our stay. We appreciate the advanced communication and preparation for arrival. We had our own private entrance a very comfortable space on Carol’s lovely property. The impressive attention to detail for the remodel is a perfect dedication to Carol’s artistry. We also greatly appreciated all the extra amenities including coffee, snacks water and so much more it was very generous. Our friends stayed at a hotel down the street but I suspect our accommodations were just as lovely if not better look forward to coming back.

Our stay at Newport was delightful, largely due to quiet and charming accommodations. Carol was a perfect host for our 35th anniversary trip. We would highly recommend for the discerning visitor.

Newly renovated and modern apartment is close to everything that Newport has to offer. Our host has been extremely welcoming and helpful. The space is quiet and relaxing with every convenience one could need - nothing has been overlooked. This is truly an outstanding place to stay!!

Ideal get away for a couple of days. Carol did an extraordinary job in putting this delightful niche together and complemented it by being the ideal host. Her recommendations were all on target. Best wishes for her side career.

Fantastic host, property and location. Carol was very helpful and accommodating and provided us with everything we needed. The apartment was very clean and had any amenities that you would need.

Carol was an excellent host. The space is beautifully done and very comfortable. A short walk to water front restaurants, Tennis Hall of Fame and The Cliff walk. Would definitely stay again!

I was nervous about using VRBO for the first time, but Carol made everything easy and pleasant. She reached out ahead of time to check in, provided all the necessary details, and showed us around upon arrival. She even gave us a good tip on a delicious bakery nearby. The unit was just the right size for the two of us and in a great location that was a short walk to shops, restaurants, and the Cliff Walk. The bed was so comfortable, and the snacks and water were a very nice touch. In fact, I think I have a new favorite cookie that I tried for the first time from the selection! It was also nice to have an off-street parking spot where we could leave our car since we didn't do much driving. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Let me just say that Carol, the host, was an absolute delight. She was able to meet us at her place upon check-in, showed us around the unit, gave us advice on where to go and what to avoid, and tips for the weekend. Pros: Quiet, Perfectly decorated, amazing host Cons: Not in center of town where the nightlife is. Have to Uber or drive Summary: Unit: The place is located on the bottom floor of Carol's house with it's own entrance. The house is very large and the unit feels like a cozy one bedroom apt. Being on the bottom floor, you might occasionally hear walking around but it's better than hearing people coming in drunk and slamming doors. I went at the end of Sept. with perfect weather, so I didn't need the air conditioning or heat. Bring a sleeping mask if you like to sleep in as it gets bright in the morning which is a definite plus. There is off-street parking for the unit literally outside of the door. What they say about parking in town/harbor is true if you don't go early. Location: The unit is located a short walk into the center of town. Walking to the harbor is also doable but might want to Uber it back. I didn't and was a little tired when I got back. The area seemed completely safe and would have no hesitation walking late at night. Décor: The pictures DO NOT do the unit justice. It is impeccably decorated with EVERYTHING looking new. She brought the flow of the outside inside, so it feels seamless. Amenities: Carol provides a minifridge full of water, yogurt, and a late night dessert (so yummy). She also provides a Nespresso machine full of pods, snacks, and crackers and jelly (ALL FREE) for a little morning nibble in the breakfast nook.

We loved everything about our stay at Top of the Hill! Carol has a true gift for hospitality. We had a small delay at the airport so we were in a rush to check in, change and get to our appts which left no time for lunch. We were so thrilled to find that Carol had stocked the room with snacks and drinks and we took full advantage of them! All the snacks held us over until dinner time. Every detail and convenience in the room was very thoughtful. The location was perfect as it was so close to the wharfs and nightlife but very quiet at night. We will definitely be booking this place when we return again!

Our host was one of the most thoughtful and communicative of the rental properties we’ve used. Carol’s welcoming nature, helpful tips, and well-appointed property helped make for an excellent stay in beautiful Newport.

Carol was a gracious host and her lovely flat is perfect for a long weekend in Newport! Beautifully decorated with artistic tile work in the kitchenette and bath areas, the property is located in a quiet established neighborhood central to the waterfront, Cliff Walk, Mansions and First Beach. My daughter and I could not have had a more fabulous weekend getaway. Thak you, Carol.

We were more than happy with our stay at 8 Red Cross Ave.! Carol was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The living space was just right for the two of us and had many nice amenities. It was a great location- a quick walk to the beach and town. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Loved our stay at Carol’s lovely suite. From her artistic touches to the thoughtful array of snacks and drinks (nespresso!), and the in-person greeting - we felt warmly welcomed the minute we walked onto her property. We came for Newport Folk festival and walked downhill to the ferry everyday. She even drove us back down to the theater when we had tickets to the Aftershow one night. The weather was unseasonably hot but the suite was cool and comfortable. The bed and linens were comfy and luxurious. She even had dishware available for our use one night when we stayed in for carry out! Carol is an artist and that is reflected in artwork and unique tile work evident throughout her property. Highly recommend this beautiful suite in a lovely neighborhood perfectly located.

Beautiful property, super comfortable. Really appreciated the provided amenities and everything about staying here was super easy and convenient. Great place!

We decided to visit Newport for a long weekend in February and found this spot while looking for a place to stay-and so happy we did! It was immaculate, nicely decorated (tile and stonework were impressive), very comfortable and in the perfect location to walk to shops, restaurants, beaches and the cliff walk. Carol, our hostess, was extremely friendly and very accommodating. She was quick to answer my questions before we arrived and went out of her way to make sure our visit was perfect once we were there. It was the perfect spot for our little get away!! Thanks, Carol for sharing your home with us!!!
