This is an experience you don’t want to miss out on, even if you are from Newport! First off, Kathy met me for check in and helped me bring down my oversized luggage. She was so communicative and helpful throughout, with special touches such as wine, a welcome card, and flowers upon entry. Bill was also wonderful, and brought down a kayak when I expressed interest! I also loved hearing about the house boat’s history. The place itself was just out of a story book. I was nervous about getting motion sickness, which I have in the past, but I felt great! If anything, the minimal back and forth rocked me to sleep at night. I made several dinners in the spacious kitchen with incredible checkered wood flooring, and while I didn’t attempt the grill outside, there is plenty of space on the deck to have fun with that! The decor has so much character, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The breeze from the windows was lovely, and I enjoyed every single sunrise and sunset from the top decks. The neighbors are quiet and respectful but also extremely friendly and happy to have conversation should you wish for that. I walked just about everywhere, and took in sights I have never noticed before. Spectacularly healing. Thank you!
