Kate was a fantastic host and we had an awesome stay at The Birdhouse. She was great about communication, provided an extremely thorough list of local recommendations and make the check-in process a breeze. The location is about as good as it gets, less than a mile from the most tourist-friendly beach (Easton Beach) and even closer to all of the shops and restaurants. The space is exactly as she described, not fancy but very cozy and a great deal for the price. The yard and top deck make for a great place to sun bathe or have a drink in the evening. The weather was pretty mild when we were there (high of mid-70’s and low of mid-60’s) and we found the sleeping space to be very comfortable, especially with the fan going. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced home-base from which you plan to explore the Newport area.
