Our stay at 8 Goodwin in Newport RI was outstanding. Before we even arrived, Gerard was the consummate host. He went over and above to accommodate any request we had. He even drove from out of town to make certain we had an umbrella on the roof deck. Gerard and the website gave a lovely description of the property but nothing compared to the beauty of the house when we arrived. If you are reading this you have seen the pictures so no need to describe more. Just believe all that is written and seen on the website. When you walk in the door you will then be surrounded with a feeling of being at home. All is spacious and well appointed. Everything is "in the house" and yours to enjoy. What is most spectacular are the roof top deck and the indescribable view of the sunset. The location is fantastic. You are an easy walk to shops, restaurants, pubs, etc on Thames street and then a continuation to the wharf and harbor. So much to see and do. And don't forget the Cliff Walk and mansions. Thank you Gerard for sharing this bit of Paradise with our family of 4.
