Jeanine's "sunny COTTAGE" in Middletown is the best of both worlds for Newport visitors. Only a mile from the ocean and a 5 - 10 minute drive to downtown Newport, guests experience serene country living, access to beautiful beaches, great birding spots at Sachuest National Wildlife and Norman Bird Sanctuary, as well as a quick jaunt into Newport's historical area. The cottage itself is sweet, bright and cheery. A large deck gives access to the great outdoors for morning coffee or sunset drinks before dinner at one of Newport's many great restaurants. The place is nicely landscaped, fully stocked for cooking/eating at home, very clean, and loaded with amenities such as beach chairs, boogie boards, and, even an outdoor shower. Jeanine is a great and responsive host. Newport, Rhode Island is packed with history, beauty, shopping and is world renowned as a sailing capital. Restaurants, festivals, and nightlife are good and plentiful. It is lovely. We had a great time, even with a little inclement weather. Thank you, Jeanine!
