Our stay on the houseboat was both a unique and special way to enjoy Newport. And one of the friends staying with us probably said it best, that staying here had made staying anywhere else in Newport suddenly become mundane and lackluster. The views were spectacular, the houseboat itself was clean, well provisioned and Kathy was easy to communicate with. Two parking spots were included with the rental and it was easy 8 minute walk to restaurants, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find a better way to spend some time in Newport.
