The Happy Clam is a large stylish comfortable home with walls of windows, including a two story great room. This makes for wonderful viewing of the water, sky and historic bridge. Inspiring in any kind of weather. The location is ideal:

* sits right on the quiet south jetty with great views from the bay to the ocean - birds and seals are constantly in view as are fishing boats cruising by

* is at the epicenter of fun stuff, all within walking distance - a serene beach, clam beds, biking, pier for crabbing, marina, Rogue Brewery, marine attractions including the fabulous Aquarium and marine science center, restaurants, shops, glass blowing, bike trails and miles of beach.

* is wonderfully comfortable for a great night's sleep, lounging, and fully equipped for fun activities including games, ping pong, pool table, foosball

* close to fun festivals, 5 min. walk to WINE AND SEAFOOD FESTIVAL and others.

5 BEDROOMS TOTAL (including small bunk bed room) with addition of ground floor apartment or:

MAIN HOUSE ( up to 08 guests) can be rented separately at approximately $100 less per night (see vrbo.com/315491) but most groups of 8 or more prefer the entire house to spread out.

The main part of the house is on the second and third level which is also why the views are so good. There we have 3 bedrooms (1-King and 2 Queens) plus a bunk room (small room with bunk beds) and a loft area with a pull-out couch. The bedrooms all have walk-in closets and baths. There are 3 HDTV's and plenty of couches and chairs. The master bedroom has a double walk-in closet, so large a twin mattress can be put in one side for an extra sleeping place.

The dining table seats 8 (10 can work) and the kitchen counter seats 3. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pans, pots, cutlery, spices, flour, sugar.

APARTMENT is included in this option (VRBO 914857) and rates. It is a cheerful space on the first level of the home. It has a bedroom with a queen bed, a bath, a small living room and kitchen plus another HDTV. It's nice to have this space for those that are bit noisier or need more quiet time -- depending on the group.

The Happy Clam is great for smaller families and is also perfect for expanded family get-togethers, retreats, book and other clubs, reunions, birthday or other special days (including surprises) - or just plain getting away from the routine. There is no bad season to hang at the Happy Clam. It's always relaxing and never boring.

Ring doorbells with video exist outside the house for security purposes.

    This was our second time staying at the Happy Clam and our family once again loved our time there. The host is great and very welcoming, and the house itself is perfect for larger groups like ours. Everything is clean and the house is stocked with everything you’ll need during your trip. Looking forward to our next visit.

    We vacationed at this home for five days. I booked it for myself and three family members that are elderly, 70 and above. I would have to say that elderly people not capable of climbing stairs would not rent this property, but it was not a problem at all for us. The top level floor that my sister-in-law stayed in was referred to as the penthouse. It is a beautiful room and she said it was very comfortable. The floor below it was the main living area that had a big kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms. All the bedrooms in the house were comfortable and had their own bathrooms. The bottom floor bedroom/apartment is where my sister stayed and she has some slight mobility challenges so it was perfect for her. It had a full bathroom bedroom, kitchen and small living room, perfect for her situation or someone that wants a little more privacy. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet and walking distance to the end of the road along the jetty. We enjoyed walking thereand then enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and talking to people who were fishing along the banks.

    Absolute, wonderful place to stay. Close to crabbing, seal and bird watching from the house, crabbing and clamming equipment. It was everything our group needed. We all agreed we would stay at the Happy Clam again!

    Great property for a group! We had an amazing week. Aged from 2 to 79. Beautiful views and weather. The kitchen was well appointed, and we enjoyed cooking some amazing meals here. We’re all foodies. The guys went fishing and we enjoyed a crab feast and all took home fish. Gary was a great host, but honestly, the house was so guest ready, we didn’t have any questions!! Five stars! I will look forward to staying again. Extra guests stayed at a local RV park and hotel… so convenient! Thank you Gary and Kathy!!

    We celebrated my husbands 80th birthday at the house. It was so great to have a place all 10 of us could comfortably fit. The views are magnificent and the location is perfect. We had a great time. My husband said it was the best birthday he ever had.

    We celebrated my Dads 82nd birthday. The lower apartment was perfect for my Dad to stay in and allowed him to be able to come upstairs and join the rest of the big crazy family and then go to bed early. Loved that there was a bathroom for every bedroom and a ton of space! The windows were massive and we enjoyed watching the boats and sea lions in the bay. It was very clean and had everything we needed.

    This is the perfect place for an extended family gathering. We had multiple generations from age 9 to 86 and everyone had such a wonderful time. Great location, convenient for walking to the beach or aquarium. Very well equipped kitchen is perfect for staying in. Fun game room in the garage with pool and ping pong tables. Lots of light and incredible view of the river and bridge. Huge primary suite. Very welcoming and communicative host. Would highly recommend.

    This was a perfect place for our large group for an extended stay. It was on 3 levels which allowed us to spread out and be alone or meet up on the main level (The Middle one) if we wanted to visit, play games etc....... Quiet neighborhood and the host was great to communicate with. Lots of parking a BIG Bonus for a large group and within walking distance to a lot of fun things to do in Newport. we had a great time and would recommend to anyone.

    The house was everything it claims to be plenty of room for large families and more. Tha Owners are amazing and helpful. The home had plenty of things to do games, pool table, ping pong, crab pots and close to much more. We would definitely stay here again.
