Steve was a great host and his house was a wonderful place to stay for a weekend in Newport! Very clean, comfortable, and homey. Amazing location - you get all the benefits of being close to everything, but none of the crazy traffic or parking issues that you get staying in downtown Newport. Walking distance to the beach, some shops and great places to eat, and a very quick drive to all the Newport attractions. You may have to drag yourself away - the porch is so lovely we could have stayed there chatting all weekend! The upstairs bedrooms are accessible only by a small staircase that is a bit steep - we had no issues but it is something to consider. There is a bathroom up there though which is great for those staying on the second floor. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook a lovely meal (including a lobster pot!) and on top of that, the beds are comfortable and the layout provides plenty of places to gather and have privacy. What more could you ask for?
