We could not ask for a better host than Karen. She was responsive, attentive and very accommodating. Overall, she an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend renting this property if you’re looking for a place in Newport. Karen was so accommodating she even met us almost a year prior to our stay so we could see the neighborhood and exterior of the house. We rented it for our Newport wedding, and stayed with a few members of our bridal party. The location could not have been better. We were married at the Newport Art Museum, and had our wedding reception at the Newport Yachting Center – the house was the exact halfway point between the two locations. The central location to restaurants, shops, bars, and attractions was ideal for our group – we parked our cars on Mill Street upon arrival and never had to use them.
The house itself was perfect for our large group of 6 – plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Initially, we had been worried about the bridal party getting ready for the wedding in the house in July, concerned it would be too hot, but Karen assured us there would be air conditioning when we arrived – and there was. The layout of the house takes a little while to get used to – the kitchen and second shower are in the basement, which was odd at first, but ended up being ideal so that early risers could have privacy and make noise in the kitchen before everyone else was awake. The kitchen is really nice - new/remodeled and was great to cook our big brunches in.
Off the master bedroom there is a large oversized closet that is ideal for bridal parties, we used it as the bridal suite for all the girls to get ready in. It was perfect and made getting ready with the photographer really special.
It was such a special time in our life and Karen’s home will always hold a place in our hearts and be part of those fond memories.
