“Enter as guests, leave as friends.” Carol breaths meaning to that phrase. Located in a very clean upscale neighborhood, centrally located in the heart of Newport, making accessibility to dining, shopping, and the wharf extremely easy. She offers parking right at the entrance to the space which makes carrying luggage a breeze. The exterior of her home is breathtaking, once inside you will see the stately condition of the interior rivals it. The space is immaculately clean. Carol has taken extra care to provide many thoughtful amenities, everything you can think of is there. Lots of organic snacks to choose from, a fully stocked fridge, and a Nespresso machine...what more could we ask for? The bathroom was small but Carol thoughtfully planned it and it is very efficient. She provides soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and a hair dryer. The BED!!!!! The bed is like sleeping on a cloud! Her attention to detail with the crisp ironed white bedding was perfection. Carol had no one checking in on the day of our check out so she told us to stay as long as we would like and that we did! We literally snacked, cuddled, and then left dragging our feet because we truly enjoyed the space so much, it was such a retreat! Carol befriended us quickly, offered lots of tips of things to see and do around the area, and invited us up for wine or coffee. We took her up on this and feel like we owe her a fee for allowing us to tour her beautiful home, decorated with her art pieces that are nicer than some art galleries we have visited. She is a very talented artist and her artistic talent is only rivaled by her hospitality. She is a dream host and we can’t wait to come back.
