Jeanine and Eli's cottage in Middletown is the perfect location for visiting Newport. The home was in a great central location that made it easy for us to visit the beaches, Sachuest National Wildlife Refuge, downtown Newport, the famous mansions, Breton Point and Beavertail State Parks, and a wide variety of restaurants. Despite the proximity to so many great attractions, the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful and avoids the hustle and bustle of staying in closer to town.
The hosts were terrific and very responsive. We really appreciated that they had a local person to answer questions and get us help when we needed it.
The upstairs loft was perfect for the kids to sleep in. There were plenty of beds and linens for five people. Only one bathroom presented a bit of a logisitical challenge, but having a second outside shower was very nice for beach days.
It was hard to say goodbye to Newport after our lovely stay, but we appreciated being sent off with a spectacular sunset that we watched from the spacious back deck of the cottage.
