We had an amazing stay at the guest house. This location can't be beat for anyone who is looking to be in the middle of some of Newport's finest attractions. Mostly everything you could need is within walkable distance or a short 5-minute drive. The guest house itself is tucked away in the backyard with easy in/out access if you do have to drive anywhere. The shower/bathroom is in the basement of the main home, which is only a few steps across the gravel driveway. We had the entire bathroom to ourselves, so you don't have to worry about sharing facilities. There is a little portable style bathroom/toilet in the guesthouse itself, so if it's raining or the middle of the night you can easily use it instead of the main bathroom. Last note I'll mention, the landscaping around this property is pretty amazing. We left the glass slider door open at night (very safe around this area) and woke up to singing birds every morning.
Coming from someone who lived in Providence and had vacation rentals in Newport every Summer, this is the place you want to rent if you're looking for a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day. It's in close proximity to everything you could possibly need, and far enough to where you won't have to listen or deal with some of the late night crazies off Thames St. THAT being said, if you're looking for a place you can party till the AM hours with you and your buddies you should probably look for something either right off Thames St. or closer to it.
Hopefully this review helps, and HOPEFULLY you have an opportunity to stay at this beautiful property. It is absolutely a sight to see and experience.
