We were in town for a family wedding, and we had a 2 year old with us, as well as me with a broken ankle. This house was close to our events, but a quiet place we could recharge as a family. It was clean with a great open floor plan. My kids and grandson (in the stroller) walked to Second beach one day, which worked out very well. Another day, we dropped my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson at the Cliff walk, and they walked there and then back to the house. So while the location is not Newport, it is close to the cliff walk and Second beach. I asked our host about a steamer for our clothes (instead of an iron) and he went and got one for us. Very nice! We would definitely consider staying here again for future Rhody events.
