Newport, Rhode Island
Newport charm abounds in this 6,000 sq ft historical 1850's home. Whether your planned visit is for relaxation, family affairs, celebrations or simply enjoying the seaside city of Newport, this is the perfect home away from home! Appropriate for accommodating groups of family, friends, wedding parties, family reunions, corporate retreats, and more.
This historical home is located in the heart of Newport within walking distance of just about everything. The neighborhood is quiet, with many large residential homes, and some quieter inns or B&Bs. It is just a few blocks from historic Bellevue Avenue, the Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Viking Hotel.
Bowens Wharf with all of its history and famous restaurants including The Clarke Cooke House and The Black Pearl is only a 10 minute walk from the house.
The large chefs kitchen with butlers pantry is fully stocked with everything you would need to serve a simple meal or a celebration. Cookware, glassware, flatware, dishes, serving platters, etc... Menus from local restaurants for delivery, or a private chef can be arranged by Elizabeth, our property manager.
The beautiful dining room with its historic 1930's mural (depicting some of Newport's most recognizable landmarks), has seating for 10-12. The adjacent solarium has two cafe tables for morning coffee!
Each bedroom is its own oasis with its own Keurig coffee maker, ice bucket, and mini fridge, and all have private bathrooms.
Enjoy wine, cheese and crackers on the front porch and watch the passers bye, or take in the tranquility of the private rose garden in the rear yard with its 4 Adirondack chairs. Wedding parties have used the backyard for games ie: Croquet, Bocce... probably non of them really successful, but they had fun!
The City of Newport has very strict guidelines in order for us to retain a "special use permit" for short term rentals, and we abide by all of them. We have quarterly inspections for fire and all safety alarm systems. The City also requires that there is a property manager or owner living in the home year-round. Elizabeth, the property manager lives at 24 Kay with her 5lb Cavapoo, (Poppy) in a little, but adorable apartment located on the second floor with its own entrance at the rear of the house.
We look forward to welcoming you!

We came for our son’s wedding and stayed here with all of our children and grandchildren. It was perfect- gracious and spacious with plenty of privacy for each couple/family and wonderful gathering spaces for the group. Code to everything, ample parking, beautiful grounds. No one wanted to leave! Special thanks to our host, Elizabeth who was always available.
Absolutely perfect.
We stayed here during our wedding weekend. The property was perfect - it fit both of our families, in perfect location to walk downtown/wharf, and Elizabeth went above and beyond to communicate throughout. Highly recommend!
Perfect family vacation!!! From grandparents down to grand babies with teenagers in between. Elizabeth was wonderful. Great location to walk to everything. Will definitely be back !!! Thank you
This is very nice, clean, large home within walking distance to downtown. We were 5 sisters away for a few days and the 5 bedrooms with on suites made for a very comfortable stay. I would stay again or recommend to anyone.
From day one to day seven we had the best time! Check in was a breeze! Elizabeth was wonderful! She gave us recommendations on food, shopping and things the children may enjoy. Very gracious host!!
The house was great. Beautiful, historic and comfortable. We had a wonderful family get together - three generations for a long weekend. House is very well equipped and furnished that we easily felt at home.
Had a great stay with a group of friends at this lovely house, which combines historic house charm with modern comforts. It was perfect for our group as there were multiple comfy common spaces to hang out in as well as very private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for a rental and the front porch is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine prior to dinner. Also, the location is excellent as it is within walking distance from everything, and the communication from the property manager was excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when visiting Newport!
The property was fantastic and management just as good! I highly recommend staying here! The location was also superb!
Property was perfect for large family celebrating Christmas in Newport. House was even decorated upon arrival. My two kids (6&2) had plenty of space to play. Kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals and entertaining. Thanks so much!
Family of 4 came in from out of town and hosted local family for Thanksgiving. Very spacious and comfortable, plenty of kitchen space, large dining room with additional dining areas. Bedrooms were all large and comfortable. It is a former B&B, so it serves large groups well and each room is kind of self-sufficient with mini-fridge, Kuerig, and Streaming TV. One thing to make note of is that there is a caretaker apartment on the 2nd floor with a completely separate entrance. We didn't hear much on the 2 nights of our 5 night stay they were there, but we also don't know what from our conversations could be heard. If it's a concern for you, you might want to discuss it with the host. I believe the property needs to have a permanent resident based on Newport regulations, but I think they probably don't need to be there 365 days/year. Not really a negative, and we loved the stay. Just something to be aware of.
Beautifully restored home. Perfect for a stay in Newport. Wonderful space for a group and has plenty of amenities to make the stay comfortable. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Also, plenty of off street parking. Would stay here again.
This house is amazing! It is exactly as it appears in the pictures – and even brighter! We had a group of five women all of whom had a spectacular time. The location is excellent and you can walk to most things. The house is elegant, yet homey, and is very well-appointed.. Thank you so much Elizabeth for your help as the property manager.
the place was spotless great location and Elizabeth the property manager was amazing
