Staying on the Capt. Carl was a very beautiful and unique experience! I highly recommend this houseboat to anyone looking to stay in Newport. The experience was definitely a step above (at least) from a typical air bnb or a hotel. Kathy was very welcoming and attentive. She greeted us upon arrival, gave us a tour of the houseboat, and left us with a bottle of wine, flowers, and a kind note. She even checked in with us via text message during our stay. We were able to use the oven, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, and grill. Kathy also had plenty of utensils, bowls, cups, etc. that we were able to use. Overall, it was a very comfortable and cozy stay. The views from the deck were incredible and you could not ask for a better location. Capt. Carl was only a short walk away from many shops and restaurants. We could not have asked for a better place to spend our weekend and we hope to be back. Thank you, Kathy!
