I do these reviews in depth to help you, the reader/buyer. So with that said LETS BEGIN. The space is beautiful. Perfect for a couple with 1-2 kids or 3 friends, but it’s absolutely PERFECT for a couples getaway like I had. Check in was easy (key was in the door), house had some bags of chips, some water in the fridge with other assorted drinks, Keurig + KCups, a water boiler for tea + a lot of packets of tea, and they also left us a nice bottle of wine (THANKS!). House was perfect. TV had basic cable so if you’re looking to be a couch potato at any point, maybe bring a fire stick or chrome cast or just a laptop. DRIVEWAY IS TIGHT. I brought my F-150 pick up and although I got in, I was nervous about making any type of mess and I ended up parking on the street for the whole vacation. I was told it’s in the listing that big trucks are not allowed but I have not read that in there. Not a big deal, just an FYI to future renters.
Location was nice. About 20 minute walk to Thames St depending how fast you walk. 6 minute drive to Thames. Bowen’s Wharf and all those cool spots are 5 minutes walking distance from Thames so if you want to park down there, there are lots. To the Elms mansion, the house is a 5 minute walk and it was perfect. About 23 minute walk to Breakers mansion. Driving, parking, & walking was what I did for most of the trip. Plenty of walking though. You decide when you plan your trip.
Overall, good place and good owners. Really nicely decorated and furnished and very clean! Good location but honestly, most spots are a good location. Newport night/day life is all centrally located. Definitely would stay again. Thanks again!
