This cottage was perfect for a low-key trip to Newport. The yard was lush and quiet despite being in a dense (but cute and relaxed!) neighborhood. We walked to the neighborhood beach in minutes and drove a few more to the main beaches (totally walkable, but we had gear...). Beaches were perfect for swimming and if there's seaweed in one spot try others (we always found a clear patch). No dishwasher and only coin-op washer/dryer in separate building, but with delicious burgers and Mexican food a quick walk down the street, why cook? LOVED this trip and the hosts were great!
