Murray house Water View Suite was my hubby and my choice because we could take our pup along for the long weekend and it has a stand alone private entrance. Noreen is an amazing communicator, quick to respond and has many helpful tips to assist you in making vacation plans In Newport. We did not have working tv the first night and Noreen was right on the spot the next morning to get it working. Her description of the spiral staircase is not exaggerated, it is tricky to navigate the tight stairs (our dog refused) but not a problem if careful.
The beach is 5 min walk, very nice pool and hot tub, and it’s a manageable 20 min walk to the water front shops and restaurants. Be mindful that capacity issues may make spontaneous dining arrangements difficult for you on the wharf, reservations are required well in advance for lunch and dinner at several restaurants nearby.
It was fairly quiet and with windows open it was nice temp although the AC is available we hardly needed it. The neighborhood is nice and the downstairs neighbor was very helpful with referrals around town as well. We’d stay again.
