We just arrived from a monthly stay in Laurie’s Newport house. We had a great time and are so glad that we chose to stay in Laurie’s house.
The house itself is super clean and tastefully decorated. Its kitchen is spacious and nicely equipped. It has a large and new refrigerator, which we really appreciated during our monthly stay. There is an convenient mudroom for sandy shoes. The 3 bedrooms are spacious and 2 of them have very large closets (useful for suitcases). The beds (particularly, the Queen mattresses in two of the bedrooms) proved to be exceptionally comfortable. Laurie also keeps beach towels and beach chairs, as well as several other useful and thoughtful supplies.
The location is difficult to match. If you have young children, King Park and Morton Park are both just a few steps away from the house. Both have wonderful playgrounds. King park has two little beaches that are perfect for young children to play in the sand and splash in the water. Lively Thames street as well as Belleview avenue’s mansions are only a short walk away. Additionally, there is a convenience store and a bakery/cafe located nearby, which we visited very frequently for last minute goodies and necessities. If you enjoy walking, it is possible to walk to Easton Beach, Bailey’s Beach, Gooseberry Beach and the cliffs from the house (approximately 30-35 minute walk to each location). In spite of its central and convenient location, the house is located in a very quite residential block.
Laurie was a marvelous host. She always replied to all of our inquiries very promptly. She provided us with great advice which greatly enhanced our stay. Plus, she was always extremely kind and personable. We highly recommend her as a host as well as her property.
