You are in for a treat if you're seeking the ultimate seaside town location and perfectly apportioned rental getaway! Clean, modern, cozy, great communication, sufficiently equipped kitchen considering there are endless eating out options within a seagulls call away! We cooked lamb shank with garlic mashed potatoes one evening . . . so it has what you need! Hosts are non-invasive, clear simple instructions and everything worked like clockwork!
Literally yards from a plethora of restaurant choices, ambiences and price points.
Walkable and close to everything downtown Newport for shopping, eating, history, wharfs and scenery to die for. There is so much to do here - just wrap up warm for the winter season (actually don't...we want the place to ourselves lol !!!
Absolute must is the Cliff Walk picked up at Easton Beach for 3 1/2 miles - wear good shoes as it get's rocky later on and worth the effort. The famous Bellevue Mansions aka Vanderbilt's & Co. was magical since we visited deliberately at Christmas. Head to Middletown and Sachuest Point for beach walks and wildlife reserve.
Reef bar/restaurant has great food (we had beef brisket) and house band on Thursdays where you can join-the-jam session if you sing or play - great night! Norms Knot was our go to local for clam chowder and wings. Try Zelda across the street also on Thames for prime sliced beef with au jus OMG ! Local beers are awesome although we are espresso martini addicts and every bar tender makes them slightly differently which was fun (best in our opinion was at the Black Pearl ask for Johnny.
