Waterlily is located on a mooring next to Fort Adams State Park is exclusively yours to stay on or for small social gatherings! The cabin has an open floor plan with lots of windows which allows plenty of sea breezes. Take in beautiful views of mansions on rolling greens and boats sailing by on the glistening water from any of the four decks. Swim off the houseboat into the invigorating, salt water then soak up the sun and star gaze at night! Guests must take the water taxi to get on board, to go to shore or to downtown. Its a scenic, short ride across the harbor, like a mini tour! The rate is $4.00 per person per ride (rates may change)

While staying on board we ask our guests to be very conservative with the use of water. It's part of boat living but well worth it! For showers there is cool water. There are solor bladders outside which are heated by the sun for a quick warm water rinse. No cooking is allowed but who wants to cook while on vacation anyway We suggest bringing picnic style foods to enjoy. There is a coffee maker for guests to use. Also, there are solor lights that light up the houseboat nicely at night. Waterlily, is a comfortable, simplistic, summer escape to be treasured from our family to yours!

    What a unique way to see Newport. The Old Port boat launch made getting to town quick and easy. Loved sitting on the top deck in the sun. A quick splash in the ocean was just what we needed.

    We love the water/ocean/bay. So, first time staying right on the water for us. It was a fun, memorable, and unique experience. Really enjoyed the outdoor living space with great views of the sky, boats and water with and without binoculars. Danielle is an amazing host.

    What an awesome way to experience Newport - it was our first time on a houseboat and Daniel was so kind and informative during our stay. The best thing I can say is that I can not wait to visit again soon and stay on the Waterlily.

    We had such an amazing stay on this houseboat in Newport Harbor! The location was unbeatable—right on the water with beautiful harbor views, yet still close to all the restaurants & shops. Waking up to the gentle rocking of the boat and watching the sunrise over the harbor was unforgettable. A water taxi picks you up right at the houseboat and brings you to wherever you need to get to! All of the crew were so helpful and friendly! The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It felt like the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation—unique and fun, but also cozy and peaceful.The host, Danielle was wonderful, easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience seamless from check-in to check-out.Highly recommend this stay if you’re looking for something special in Newport—you won’t forget it!

    Such a great time on the Water Lily. My husband and i stayed and had our daughter with 3 of her friend's over one day. It was a gorgeous day on Danielle's house boat. 3 decks to enjoy. Swimming right of the boat was easy and there is an oversized float tgat my daughter anf her friend's enjoyed. Bed was very comfortable. Danielle was a great host! I highly recommend it! We'll be back!

    Danielle was a great hostess! Her Water Lily houseboat was perfect for a girls weekend or if you want a getaway with your partner. The water taxi was very convenient to get to and from town for dinner at night. It was comfortable and a great spot to hang out during a nice sunny day! Swim or dunk off the boat steps or the floating raft that is available. Relaxing on the raft was also nice! It was perfect!

    It was beautiful to be out in the Newport Harbor. There was so much activity on the water during the day and so peaceful at night.

    We were welcome by Danielle on the boat that was clean and ready for us! Bed linens, paper towels, paper plates, plastic cups are all there for our use, which was great! Sleeping on the boat as a dream! Jumping off the back and swimming is even better! 5 star recommend!

    My husband and I went for a weekend and could not have enjoyed our stay more. Getting to and from the boat by the water taxi was super easy and a nice way to get around. Danielle met us on the boat to show us the ropes. Took about 10 min to get downtown by the water taxi- was nice not to worry about parking downtown! We spent our nights relaxing on the boat enjoying the beautiful views. We definitely plan on returning again!
