Beautiful house and beautiful location! Overall mine and my guests' stay was great (We were 5 total). We came in mid-march, and though we were afraid that the weather would negatively impact our stay, it turned out amazingly. The weather was temperate, the house's location was only about a 5-minute drive away from downtown Newport, and a 3-minute drive away from the beach. The kitchen was very well-stocked with appliances, utensils, and dinnerware, and the house itself was spacious. The fireplaces also worked well to warm up rooms at night (though it was unnecessary as the place had good heating/cooling), and the views from the upstairs rooms are stunning.
We did have a few issues with both the initial neatness (i.e. sheets and towels still in washing machine, and some dishes left in dishwasher), and the hot tub not working, but the host was EXTREMELY responsive and apologetic. They were communicative, offered multiple solutions, and in general seemed like they genuinely cared about our experience. I understand that the issues that my guests and I experienced are not likely to occur again (the hot tub has been replaced), so I would recommend this house to anyone!
