Family vaca 2025

Loved the home and location. 3 families with 3 kids and we all were very comfortable. The 3 full bathrooms helped to give us all our own space. The historic home was beautifully renovated and had all the comforts of home. We really appreciated the beach chairs, toys and umbrella. So many great restaurants and shops within a few blocks. We will be back!

Wedding weekend

We’ve just returned from a three night stay and it could not have been more perfect! Walking distance to everywhere, and 4-6 onsite parking spaces! Well stocked, clean, comfortable, and could easily sleep 10. Lots of spaces to gather inside and out. Communication was fast, although we needed for nothing, and it was easy to check in. Thank you Jen for the perfect place for our family to stay and celebrate our daughter’s wedding.

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.

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!

Holiday Family get together

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.
