We were so happy with our choice to stay with Ned. You could not be in a more perfect location in Newport! Stunning views of the water just a short walk to the end of the sidewalk. Easy access to a small beach. Perfect spot for fishing. Happy people stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming at any time of day. This location would be a water sports enthusiast dream. Not overcrowded. Just the right vibe. There is so much beauty in Newport to see. The restaurants were incredible. The restaurants seem to simmer down in the early evening but its lively on the city streets while friends grab desserts from so many quaint ice cream, fudgery and cupcake shoppes. The little stores in the city were charming and fun to bring gifts home for your family. Jamestown island was easy to hop over to from this location. All together with traffic about 3o minutes each way. It was worth it to see both islands from the stunning bridge that connects them. So much history if that is what you are into! We recommend visiting Beaver Tale State Park on Jamestown Island. The views from the tall rock cliffs of the water were breathtaking. We can't wait to get back! Ned is a wonderful human. He could not have been more helpful. He is living his dream and shares this precious gem with friendly strangers. The linens, bedding and pillows were top of the line. We got an excellent night sleep. The bathroom was full of thoughtful toiletries. Ned even provided sleeping eye masks in the room. He thought of everything and we felt very pampered. We were amazed by the modest pricing for such an exquisite location and room! This is truly a needle in a haystack on this very very very expensive beautiful island. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Ned. We hope to come back very soon. There is so much more to explore in Newport!
