Great affordable place to crash while you enjoy Newport - keep in mind that the bathroom is across the driveway in the basement of the main house (which includes a parking lot for the cars of the main house, sometimes 7+ or more which are next to the cottage), and the walk is uncovered. The cottage has no running water with a sign indicating that “only liquids” should go into the port-a-potty commode tucked in the corner of the 1-room (well-appointed) cottage. That said, on a cool September night it was pleasant to open the two screen doors and let a fresh sea breeze lull us to sleep. The area feels very safe, but we did note that the only lock on the cottage was not functional during our stay. Also, the wifi is sourced from the house and barely reaches the cottage/bedroom - fine for text-only emails but you’ll need to camp in the bathroom or elsewhere for true surfing. All-in-all, it’s a cozy way to bed next to mansions, but comes with fair compromises for the price. Steven was very responsive and helpful and came by at the end of our stay to check on how we were doing.
