PERFECT LOCATION WALK TO TOWN AND SHOPS

Nice week in Newport. Perfect weather and perfect house location.

The house is on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Each room has an ac unit. The bedding was soft and pillows are down. The kitchen has almost everything you need. She even provided a cooler we were able to use sailing this week. The location is central to everything and is pedestrian friendly. The decor is stunning. It’s very coastal and tasteful. I hesitate to rant and rave on this property for fear it becomes too popular. We loved it.

Charming property, attentive owner

We arrived to find the kitchen covered in ants and ant bait stations everywhere. We had our 2 year old service dog with us and owner kept our deposit saying the dog damaged the home. She has not responded to 5 of my emails when I asked for documentation of the so called damages. I have filed a complaint with VRBO but have not heard back yet. We have rented several times on VRBO and have recieved 4 and 5 star ratings from owners. This will probably be the last time if I don't receive my deposit back in full.

Sondra, Thank you for making my friends Newport stay extra special - only wish I could have joined them...but I tried. Appreciate the towels so they did not need to bring. I will keep you in mind on my next visit - after hurricane season - to Newport. All the Best! Eileen

We reserved this rental for our family of 7 adults and two children. We chose this rental because of the owner’s description and past renter reviews. Unfortunately, our stay was laden with troubles. - No arrival instructions were provided. The owner was aware that an automated email had not been going out this year but did not make any attempt to provide these via email, text, or phone. - The couches and throw pillows had stains and clearly had not been cleaned in some time. I wouldn’t let my children touch any of them. - The kitchen tiles were unattached from the floor. - Despite three conversations with the owner arranging sheets and towels prior to our arrival, no sheets or towels were provided. When towels were provided, they didn't provide enough for the confirmed number of guests. - During our visit we had the following issues: the toilet would not flush (her husband came to fix it), the fridge leaked creating a puddle of water in the kitchen, the TV had no remote (the husband went out and bought one) and the tv had no stand so it was leaning up against the wall (a hazard), the drawers of the tv cabinet were falling down (the husband noted how terrible it was). - Most notably, there was rain during our stay so the ceiling in the hallway began to collapse leaving water and plaster down the stairs and throughout the hallway. We cleaned this up ourselves… All of these issues were reported to the owner and sadly she shared these were things she was aware of before our stay. Although, her description of the house was that it was “quality”, the house was very poorly maintained. When we complained on the last day about our stay, she did not acknowledge how poor our experience was at first, but instead sent photos of a comp that what we could have rented for the same price. That was the icing on the cake. Another rental at a similar price her previous tenant thought was in bad shape doesn’t make her rental in poor shape acceptable. The only positive I can share with future renters is that the owner was responsive to texts and ultimately refunded our cleaning fee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Beds were comfortable, neighborhood was great (walkable to everything) and was clean and stocked with what we needed.

We were in Newport with a group of 10 friends for Labor day weekend and this was the prefect house for us! Everything was clean and accommodating for our larger group. In addition, when we checked out, Sondra helped us store our luggage for half the day while we waited for our train. We will definitely be coming back next year!

Sondra was so great. Very responsive and so pleasant. She answered any question we had. I went on a trip with my sister, her family and my best friend w her family for my 40th birthday. It was perfect!!

Sondra was so responsive throughout our booking and our stay. The home seemed larger in person than the pictureA had indicated. We were very happy with this home and would rent it again in the future.
