Mercedes was easy to communicate with prior to our stay. She provided many helpful recommendations and even accommodated an earlier check in which really helped us make the most of a mom's weekend in Newport. We loved being walking distance to 1st beach, however we were unfortunately overall disappointed in our stay. The photos make this small cottage look bigger and in better shape than it actually is. While there are window A/C units in the bedrooms, there is no other A/C or fan in the cottage. The deck is uncovered, so there was no comfortable place for us all to hang out within the AirBnB. This listing could use some updates. For the price, next time we would stay in a hotel to guarantee a more comfortable stay.
