Newport, Rhode Island
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!
Park your car and walk everywhere.
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!
We came for a family wedding. Loved staying here. Lots of room and comfortable beds! Owners could not be nicer.
Great space for a family
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.
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.
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!
Stayed here with my husband and 2 kids for a wedding and it was perfect - we are already planning to come back with some friends next summer! Perfectly clean, coffee and breakfast food in the kitchen, and very helpful hosts. 5 stars. Super comfy beds too.
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.
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!
