Great revisit

We rented this apartment a year ago and we were very pleased with everything. That's why we came back this year, and we are as pleased now as we were last time. It is a nice place, well situated in the town, and it has a lovely outdoor patio. I would recommend it any day of the week.

Perfect stay

The Colony Suite was a perfect place for us to stay in Newport. It was clean, well equipped, and tastefully designed. The patio was a bonus, and it added an extra dimension to the house. The location was perfect, close to shops and restaurants, but in a still and quiet neighborhood.

New in Newport

Great location for restaurants, shops, and the sights. Comfortable beds and the nice large kitchen is a plus. Please remember this is a 250+ old house. It is creaky and quirky. You can’t go wrong staying in this piece of history.

Newport weekend

A few friends ran the Newport 10 miler and when looking at ridiculous hotel prices we started looking for air b n b’s. The house had everything we needed including a kitchen to make our breakfast before the early morning run. It was very cute / charming. It was very convenient to walk downtown.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed for Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful and relaxing time. The checkin was so easy and the place was absolutely spotless. It was more spacious than what it appeared in the pictures and the kitchen is well stocked. Our 2 teenage kids loved that that they each had their own space. Not recommended for younger children due to multiple steps and spiral staircase to the kitchen. Other than that, highly recommend this spot. Easy walk to Thames St with all the dining, Easton Beach and the Cliff walk. The street parking pass was a huge help.

Cool place with great location. Only issue was we came with 3 couples and used the pull out couch. There was no bedding for the pull out and the owners didn’t reply to my message. Luckily, we had something to suffice.

Great Location

Loved the location of this property. Near many attractions near the downtown area. We did not read the description of the rooms close enough to realize one of the full baths is down a spiral staircase. This can be a difficult walk for some at 3:00am.

Wonderful stay on Spring Street

The 2-bedroom apartment on Spring Street was sparkling clean and well-appointed. The location was perfect. Our group comprised of two parents and two children. The bedrooms required passing through to get to the living room or the kitchen, so it could be an awkward arrangement for a group not as accustomed to each other as parents and children. But we loved the patio and the light-filled kitchen. We loved the jaccuzzi bathtub. The beds were very comfortable. We liked walking around the historic neighborbood and down to the wharves. We walked to restaurants and it was an easy drive to the mansions and beaches. We also appreciated the beach towels and beach chairs. We had a GREAT time in Newport!!!

Fantastic location and place!

This is a stunning historic New England property, beautifully restored and updated. It is a unit inside a bigger building and this unit had the 2 beds and baths, 2 floors and the welcome flexibility of a pull out bed in the living room. Decorations were so gorgeous and on point with this place. Beds were very comfortable. Immaculately clean, lovely linens and towels. This location is walkable to everything. The owner gave us recommendations for restaurants which were appreciated and we used. He said the Black Pearl was a must and it was. I would definitely stay here again

Great weekend stay!

This is the perfect location with lots of space. My family and I were quite comfortable staying here. The only drawback is that the unit isn't the most child friendly as there is a steep spiral staircase we didn't know about until we got there. Additionally, for whoever stays in the room with the queen bed, privacy could be an issue as guests staying in the room with the king bed will need to pass through the room with the queen bed to get to the kitchen downstairs. It would have been even better to also have filtered water which I'm accustomed to receiving at vacation homes. We overall very much enjoyed our stay!

Great Fall break with our daughter

Perfect accommodations for myself and my husband and our college daughter during her Fall Break. Great location to all the restaurants. Apartment building has 2 off-street parking spots which are shared by the other units in the building. This means they are not guaranteed however rental does include a onstreet parking pass. Just be aware that you may have to parallel park and walk a few blocks. It was a very busy weekend so finding onstreet parking was a bit challenging. Wonderful stay and we will definitely return!

Great location

We had a great trip with 3 generations. The apartment was clean and well furnished. Great location. Would definitely recommend this unit , but would clarify the layout and the stairs. We were limited in using the entire space bc only access to kitchen and 2nd bath is down on main floor via spiral stairs. So anyone who is older ir has poor balance, this may not work for you. In addition, wish the living room had a TV . i was not aware that the building was dog friendly and u unfortunately there were dogs in the unit below and across who barked late into the evening. We are dog owners so didn’t mind it too much but others might find that frustrating. Coffee supplies were plentiful and kitchen well stocked. As were the towels and blankets, beds comfy too We had a great time in Newport
