What a perfectly cozy place to spend a relaxing weekend.
Pros:
The location. You really are about a block from the water which makes for some lovely beach strolls. Plus, you are away from some of the bustle of Newport which makes for a quieter stay.
The nest. It's quiet and small in the best way. Well designed and has all the most key features for a relaxing stay. We had *just* enough coffee beans to get us each a cup of coffee for both mornings we were there. If you're needing more and want to snag some beans, Custom Coffee House is a short trek away. And, while you're there, try the Dirty Turmeric Chai. Kitchen is well-stocked and ready to handle whatever (if any) cooking you may do.
The communication. All communication and check-in was handled quickly and easily. Seriously, so easy.
The food. There's some great restaurants nearby. Rejects for the beer, Bagel Boys for a great breakfast sandwich, and a lobster roll from Newport Lobster Shack (it's a little drive away). Sweet Berry Farm is also a beautiful and close drive. We went apple picking and grabbed some nice groceries from their farm store.
Dog friendly. This alone makes this the absolute best choice for stay. Bonus points for the dog water and food bowl that was already there for us to use.
Cons:
Flo's Clam Shack was closed for the season! They don't open back up until the beginning of April. I was bummed. But, Anthony's Seafood is a solid back-up choice.
Double-check the windows to make sure they are closed at the top. We came on a chilly weekend and did not check and a late night bathroom trip became a chilly surprise.
