We stayed at Carmen's for two nights in October and found the house to be as described and very lovely. Carmen and her partner live upstairs with small dogs, so occasionally you can hear barking, but other than that the space is very clean and cozy, and the property is stunning. We went running to the pond in back, and you're a short drive from good coffee and restaurant options. Newport is a 30-minute or so drive, and we spent a day exploring the Cliff Walk and mansions. Carmen provides lots of local tips, and we even ran into her at dinner at a local restaurant, which was a nice surprise. Recommend!
