Three friends and I rented this home for two and a half months for our fall semester, since our college campus had closed due to the pandemic. Our favourite part about Neptune's Hope was its location—about a mile away from Second Beach and Purgatory Chasm, and a quick ten minute drive to downtown Newport. We often took walks/runs together down Purgatory Road and along the shoreline, which was especially scenic in the late afternoon when the sun would begin to set. The house sits on slightly higher ground, and warm natural light illuminates the second floor beautifully. We had a few minor issues with the house (washing machines/lights not working, clogged drains, etc.), but they were mostly resolved quickly by Kate and Lisel. Fall is a great season to stay in this house! As winter approached, however, it did start getting cold, especially upstairs, where the heater doesn't quite reach. Other than that, the house offered a nice homey space that fostered several memories we will remember fondly.
