We were looking for a place to stay near Newport while attending our daughters graduation. Being a Rhode Island native (but now living out of state), I already had a pretty good idea of the area in which we should stay, and fortunately this property popped up in our search. It was close to the school, very near the beach, and a virtual stones throw from downtown Newport.
The price was pretty much in-line with what you would pay for the area at the beginning of May. So we booked it and just returned home from a very nice stay.
The home itself is rather eclectic; the house was built around 1910 and still retains much of the character of that era. I presume there have been several additions and/or modifications over the years, but those just seemed to add to the character. Seating is plentiful, both inside and out. A large dining area with enough seating for 8 or more people, an open living/tv area with a couch and large armchair, and a side room which looks like it may have been a porch at one time, but converted to a bedroom, all makes up the first floor.
The second floor is where you'll find two large bedrooms and the single bathroom. Both beds were extremely comfortable and the provided linens are high quality.
The kitchen is unbelievably stocked with literally anything you may need. If stir-fry and sushi are your thing, this place can satisfy your craving; oils, seasonings, vinegars...you name it and it's there for your use. Plenty of dishes, glasses, and utensils too. We brought pretty much all we thought we'd need with us, but had we forgetting ANYTHING, we would have easily found what we needed it one cabinet or other.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good so we didn't get to spend the after graduation party outside, as we had intended. But there's a grill, solo fire pit and seating space for many. The house is on the corner of a fairly busy road, however, so if you bring a pet (check with Kathryn for your specific pet needs) please be aware that you'll need to provide a way to keep your pet from running into traffic.
All in all, we weren't disappointed. The home is well-documented on the website and the home matched the description very well.
