If you are looking for a place close to Newport's beaches and other offerings, but outside the hubbub of Newport in the summer then this is your place. It has easy access to West Main Road and all its amenities (gas, Stop & Shop, Aquidneck Liquors, Carmella's Pizzeria, Job Lot) as well as being an easy ten min drive to Second and Third beaches. The yard is enormous and well cared for (our Lab loved it). The barn is clean and comfortable. And Kim and Jim could not have been more accomodating or gracious hosts. We had a wonderful few days on the Island and hope to return soon.
