ELLERY HOUSE is a charming and beautifully maintained, 1700 sq-ft Summer Beach House. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, it sleeps 7 comfortably. More with pull outs. Pets and children are always welcome.
In the heart of lovely Easton's Point, Ellery House is an easy 3-block walk to First(Eastons)& Second (Sachuest) beaches. Located in Middletown, on the Newport/Middletown line, this cozy home is about a half-mile to town and all the fun activities of Newport. Numerous excellent restaurants are within walking distance as well. Ask me for recommendations! Maps are provided to area attractions. Sachuest Point National Wildlife refuge is a mile from our home. The refuge supports over 200 bird species, and has over 2.5 miles of nature trails and viewing platforms, in order for guests to enjoy this beutiful ocean-side nature preserve.
This Cape-style home has been newly refurbished with fresh paint in many rooms, bathroom renovations, a brand new washer and dryer, and a new dishwasher. There is plenty of off-street parking, a private back yard with fenced patio (for people & your pet!), grille, and an outdoor hot & cold shower. Most rooms have cable television and air conditioning. The back yard/patio is securely fenced for the safety of your children or the family dog. A fully stocked playroom is available.
Ellery House is available for year-round monthly, weekly, or weekend rentals. During early June, there is usually at least a 3 day-weekend minimum rental, & during late June, & July and August, there is a weekly minimum rental. Discounts are available for full-month rentals. Please see the calendar for current availability. Vacation homes in our area rent quickly during the high season; I recommend you finalize your reservation no later than April.
We have had great success with wedding parties and family vacations. My guests have been very pleased; references are available upon request.
Property is sometimes owner occupied. You may occasionally run into us or our 2 very freindly dogs, in the back yard/patio area, or in & out of the driveway, but overall, your stay in the main house is very private.

Our vacation at Ellery House
Guest: Kathy
(North Attleboro, Ma)
Date of Stay: 08/07/11
Review Submitted: 08/16/11
My family of 5 and another family of 3 stayed in this house for a week in Aug. We had a great time. Rebecca was very friendly. Although the back of the house is sometimes owner occupied, it was never a problem. We could grilled on the deck and had complete privacy. You cannot beat the closeness to the beach, just a short car ride away. The 5 boys with us were 12-16 so it was a little cramped but the boys made it work. The house was clean and we were so happy we could bring our dog on vacation with us! Thanks Rebecca for a wonderful vacation!

The Ellery House was perfect for our family's needs. Our daughter was getting married and the setting was convenient to our daughter and son in law, Newport, the wedding venue and the beach. The large open kitchen was the center all our family activities, the bedrooms were clean and comfortable, and we had everything we needed to have a great time. I would recommend this property to others who are looking for a family oriented vacation.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Ellery House. We really felt at home (especially as we were able to bring our Bichon with us). The house is lovely, well decorated, and includes everything you need. The location is perfect - walking distance to a small, quiet beach and a few minutes by car to the bustle of Newport. Rebecca is warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend Ellery House if you're looking for a home away from home.

July 4th fun
Guest: MS

Review Submitted: 07/24/11
A group of friends squeezed into Ellery House for a cozy July 4th weekend. The amenities are all there as advertised (e.g., the chefs in the group were satisfied with their ability to whip up some tasty meals - great BBQ). Walk to the beach is a snap. The location is accessible to all the fun that Newport has, while being quiet/remote. And, it is VERY CLEAN. If we were to stay again, I would go with a smaller group (or get a second property). The house sleeps six very comfortably. Guests 7-onward just need to be comfortable with fold-out couch and/or air mattress as sleeping options.

The house is clean with an easy walk to the beach. All the people in our party enjoyed staying there and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a fully furnished house. We also spend a fair amount of time on the deck and absolutely loved the outdoor shower!! The owner was very responsive, informative and accommodating. Thank you for providing us a base for a wonderful week in Newport. - Chris

We stayed at Ellery House for a family reunion/wedding week. We all could not have been happier. We were a little hesitant because we knew that sometimes the property is owner occupied during rentals. But our stay was extremely private. The owner has a small apartement in the back of the property, that they used for part of our stay. This caused us no issues, no noise, & we rarely saw them. Passed them once or twice on the patio or neighborhood, but Rebecca & her daughter were so welcoming & pleasant, it was a pleasure to meet them! Our stay at the house was very private. We are dog lovers, so werent at all bothered that the owners 2 very friendly, well behaved, quiet dogs were occassionally with them. In fact, we never even heard the dogs during their 3 day stay on the property. The new patio they added on is spectacular & we spent many lovely evenings sitting out grilling, & many afternoons rinsing the kids in the outside shower - SO convenient! There is plenty of parking, the place was immaculate, the children were thrilled with the playroom, the adults were thrilled with the quick easy walk to the beach & access to downtown when needed (although we spent 99% of our time relaxing on the patio & at the beach, & everyone was thrilled with the condition & location of the house. Thank you Rebecca! We will most certainly be back again next year. We have used VRBO in your area 4 times, & your home was by far the cleanest & most comfortable we've seen yet!

Girls Weekend

Date of Stay: 05/20/11
Review Submitted: 06/06/11
We had a great weekend at Ellery House! The house is really cute and great for a group. Plenty of sleeping space and the owner also provided an air mattress. The only minor thing I would mention to be aware of is that while the house is absolutely very clean - the owners do have dogs which could be a problem if you are very sensitive to allergies. Also the owner's family stayed in the apartment attached to the main house for the duration of the weekend. Looking back, this was in fact in the fine print on the contract but we didn't realize until we got there. That being said, Rebecca was beyond accomodating and we felt comfortable that the house was "ours". She was also very helpful with a blown fuse emergency caused by too many hair dryers at once :) Great central location in Middletown - we walked to Atlantic Beach Club for lunch and afternoon cocktails and a short ride to downtown Newport. I would definitely recommend the Ellery House for any family or big group! Thanks for a great weekend!
Owner response:Thanks Maggie, Im glad you ladies enjoyed your celebration. Im sorry you didnt realize the property is sometimes owner occupied in the seperate apartment by 2 of us. It is stated in the VRBO ad & in the contract, but I am glad it turned out fine with you anyway. We also are sure to have in the ad that the house does allow guests to bring pets, so if you have allergies, it may not be the best place for someone who suffers from them. It was great to meet all of you & thank you so much. The house was in excellant condition when you left!
