The Beach Room at Carey St. was pure charm! JoAnne has thought of everything to make it clear and easy to settle in. From separating the beds into two, twins for my son and I, to porch candles to light our path home at night. There was fresh water and snacks in the room and breakfast for the next day keeping cool in the little fridge. The AC unit kept the room cool and the bathroom was large, clean and new. Very swank new shower! Everything is decorated in cheery, beach tones and you get a real, old timey key to open the front door! The bedroom itself also locks with a key you can take with you to and fro. The room and the whole experience is more like a private, hotel room rather than a room more integrated into the host's environment. We found that we felt very comfortable and even though we didn't get to meet JoAnne personally, her thoughtful personality was felt throughout and very much appreciated. Carey St. Beach House is perfectly located to enjoy both the harbor on one side and the mansions on the other. We would recommend going on a sail on the Adirondack II and catching the trollies for the mansions. Don't miss The Breakers. We will cross our fingers hoping that The Beach House is available when we can return to Newport in the future!
