I gave this rating as there were problems with our long term stay. The location is great but there were some difficulties with the plumbing where restrictions were necessary with water usage. While I understand things happen, the way they are handled speaks volumes, and excuses are harder to accept than solutions, especially when we felt the need to leave a week early and were not given a refund. While this may be a great deal for the Newport area, it is still a good deal of money for a long term stay. The host was very communicative, but might do better with a management company to handle things as she lives out of state.
