This is a wonderful property. We stayed for four weeks. The only negative was a very damp basement, but I'm sure that the owner is going to address it. The house itself is funky and comfortable. The host is a wealth of information and very prompt in returning calls. The yard is lovely and the host was very generous is sharing his garden herbs with us. The Easton beach is only .7 miles from the house. Because of our age and health it wasn't a walkable distance for us but we were able to get a season parking pass from the the city of Newport for the beach ($60.00) for the entire season. Parking is usually $15.00 per day M-F and $25.00 on the weekend. The town of Middletown has lots of conveniences for shopping that are only 10 minutes from the house. We enjoyed outdoor dining at a restaurant two blocks from the house called Tickets. There is an outside shower which is convenient as well as a lovely deck.
One more thing about the host...I asked if he had a card table as we enjoy puzzles. He didn't but showed up an hour later with a new one. We would return in a heartbeat but there is no bathroom on the main floor which is a hardship for a disabled person. We would highly recommend this property.
