Great location

The house was great with lots of space. We stayed with our daughter, her boyfriend and his family. Our daughter got engaged on this trip and we spent the week celebrating. There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone and lots of space in the living area for everyone. Walking distance to almost everything.

My group of 9 loved our stay in Newport. The location cannot be beat and we didn't have to use our cars at all once we arrived. There was plenty of space, air conditioning worked well, and the outdoor area was a nice bonus. Jenny was responsive and flexible in our communications with her.

Great family place

My multi-generational family stayed to celebrate a graduation. The house was comfortable, easily accommodated us all and couldn't have been more centrally located for downtown Newport. The house was well-equipped (but bring soap and shampoo) and the owner communicated effectively. Great family place!

Spacious comfort in Historic Newport!

From the moment we booked to the moment we left, this was an exceptional decision to book this location. The owners are amazing. Quick responses, helpful hints for things to do, and always with a smile. We had all couples with us, and had enough room for ourselves while enjoying the shared space. Wonderful location in a historic spot. Walking distance to everything, especially helpful in walking off all of the amazing local food.

This house was perfect for our family ranging in age from 18 mo.~70(although you must be able to climb stairs to access the bedrooms). Great location for enjoying Newport on foot. The house very well equipped. We had no need to communicate with the property manager.

Nephew’s wedding

The property could not have been better as a place for our family to gather for a wedding. It was centrally located for easy walking, while the parking was a godsend when we needed to drive. The first floor is a great common space, while there are lots of bedroom options upstairs. Only disappointment was that the double bed mattress in the northeast 2nd floor bedroom sagged into the middle more than even the happily married couple wanted it to. Might be worth considering replacing it. Otherwise a great base for our time in Newport - many thanks!

Great Spot would rent again!

We had a house full here for a week, with 6 adults and 5 teen boys while out for a Regatta. It worked out perfectly for us. The house is newly updated and super clean. Since the kitchen living room area is very open we could all be in there at once which was nice. There is a bedroom that has a queen plus 2 twins and then there are two couches in different rooms that made it easier for the boys if they wanted more space. The location is great! We had 4 cars among us all and were able to park them all right behind the house. We only used them to get the kids to Reggata. Otherwise everything was in walking distance. Most of the restaurants had long wait times, we would put our name in, go back to the house to shower and then by the time we walked back our table would be ready. Jenny made the whole rental process really easy. Two of our group even got there a day early and called her to see if the house was rented that night. It was empty so she let them stay just charged them for a room. We’ll definitely stay here again when back in Newport!

Awesome home with great location

My family stayed here for a wedding in Newport. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and plenty of space. The on-site parking was a bonus - we managed to fit 5 cars. The central location can’t be beat. Jennifer, the property host, was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely return and highly recommend!

Great location

Loved the location! The family room and kitchen area were open to each other which made for a great experience for our family. The 3 bathrooms had beautiful tile and were very well appointed and clean. The beds were comfortable.Only drawback was the bedding and the kitchen frying pans. The frying pans, the pillows and bedspreads could use some updating.

It was a good location in Newport, our oldest had rented this property a few years ago and she noted that it may not have been maintained in the condition from summer 2021. Also seemed a little unprepared for our arrival.
