Travelling as a couple with an almost 2 year old we love to have a house, kitchen and yard when we head out on vacation. Jan's house was perfectly appointed, very comfy and offered everything we needed. The location of the house is wonderful - it was about a 15 minute walk down to Easton's/1st Beach - maybe 5 minute drive into all the fun that is Newport. We had a cousin come and babysit Millie who stayed down in the basement one night and said she was really comfortable and slept really well. The design of the house allows for the sea breezes to move nicely through so we didn't always need the AC - but when we did it worked really well. The kitchen supplies and oil, sugar and condiments and outdoor grill were used and enjoyed and were everything we needed. We didn't have rain but if we did we still would have had plenty of space. I was concerned coming from a small NYC apt that the cottage would feel small but it really didn't. It was nice and bright and airy which helped. We tucked our toddler in her pack and play next to the desk in the living room and she slept great. Original plan was to have her downstairs but we shifted and it worked well. Sitting on the deck for coffee or dinner under her big beautiful tree was super relaxing. It was great to walk to Flo's Clam Shack for lunch, to walk down to Empire Coffee for coffee and fresh donuts. I also took a ride a couple mornings to Custom House coffee which I loved their cold brew (5 mins away and highly recommend.) Friends suggested taking the ride out to 2nd beach which we did - 3rd beach as well. (Totally different than 1st Beach which has occasional Red tide.) Get in the car and drive to 3rd beach - it's worth it - easy walk from the carp - calm waters - good for families. We will definitely check Jan's listing when we are headed back to Newport area. Definitely recommend it - options to drive or walk and a comfy place to lay your head.
