The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
This is the best location on the east coast. The beach is just a five minute walk away. Downtown Newport with its shopping, nightlife and fantastic restaurants is just a five minute drive or short bike ride away. So many things to see and do like biking around Newport and hiking around Sachuest point and the Norman bird sanctuary. Of course the beach is right here with all that it has to offer - basking in the sun, surfing in the waves, swimming in the cool water, sailing, windsurfing - you name it. The events that take place here during the summer are too numerous to count - every kind of music festival you can imagine, film festival, tall ships festival, chowder cook-offs to name just a few. Can't think of a better vacation spot in the northeast.
Owner's Map of Newport
My husband, son and I have lived at this location for many years. Everything you could want is here. The ocean, the excitement of Newport. The changing of the seasons. My son is an avid surfer - just a five minute walk to the surf. We love to bike around Newport and hike around Sachuest point and the Norman bird sanctuary. The events that take place here during the summer are too numerous to count - every kind of music festival you can imagine, film festival, tall ships festival, chowder cook-offs to name just a few. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Bass Rocks Cottage "Rocks"!

This home was absolutely beautiful! Everything was so clean and fresh. Upon arrival, there was a vase of fresh flowers and a snack basket. We immediately felt at home. Trish is such a gracious host and it is obvious that she takes great pride in the cottage and in the comfort of her guests. We were a 5 minute walk to the beach and the scenery was beautiful. Loved, loved RI! We had never been to RI and I must say that we will be back! We would highly recommend this rental and would definitely vacation here again. Thanks Trish for making our "wedding weekend" base so relaxing!

My family and I (6) stayed at this rental for 2 nights and thought it was perfect! You are walking distance to the beach and a very short drive into town! You could walk on a nice day and enjoy all the beautiful scenery. The house was fully accommodated from a coffee maker to washer and dryer. We were very comfortable and found the kitchen to be our favorite place to be! The house was very clean and the owners were fantastic to work with. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Newport or Middletown. I have never been to the area and was blown away by the scenery! We were so happy to have found this property, it made our entire trip fantastic!

The cottage is exactly as described and in excellent condition. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were supplied for our use. The kitchen is huge and has everything you'd need for a meal at home. The location is perfect. We had rented a car, so being 5 minutes outside of Newport wasn't an issue. Parking downtown can be a challenge, but we managed. We had no trouble parking at any of the mansions we visited. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby the cottage and the owners provide a binder with quite a few menus to browse, as well as other local attractions. My only complaint was the weather, and I certainly can't fault the cottage for that. Unfortunately we were there during a weekend of unexpected and abnormal humid and warm temperatures, so the lack of air conditioning was really noticeable and uncomfortable. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms were helpful at moving the air around, but couldn't quite overcome the dampness of the humidity. The owners were very easy to get in touch with and provided excellent service throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and would consider it again upon a return to Newport.

The description and photos of the house were very accurate to the condition of the house. The owner was very accommodating and allowed me to visit the rental before we committed to renting to make sure it would work for our group. We rented the cottage for a Bachelorette weekend and it was awesome! The kitchen was perfect and great for a big group- lots of space and seating so we could all be in one area together. Outside Adirondack chairs allowed us to enjoy the early mornings by the water. We are a 5 minute cab ride from the excitement of downtown Newport and the cab rate was very inexpensive. The property was very clean and very well maintained- there were many extra necessities included with the rental that came in very handy! The rental was also very affordable for the holiday weekend. The owner was always very timely with responses to me. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family- some of the girls were ready to move in on the spot!! It was a great rental and a great weekend for us!!

cute little cottage

We found this little cottage to be quite comfortable for our week-long getaway. Upon arrival, we received a very friendly greeting from the owner. We were welcomed to take fresh herbs and tomatoes from the little garden. We took advantage of this as the kitchen is very conducive to cooking meals and had plenty of room for all 6 of us to eat in. This, along with having a dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer and an outside shower, was very convenient with two small children. Also, having access to the beach chairs and towels was great. Overall, we really liked the property. The only down side was the single bath, as it took a while for everyone to get ready in the morning. Otherwise, very charming and comfortable rental, close to the beach and just far enough outside of Newport to be quiet and peaceful after a day of shopping or at the beach.

We just returned from our trip to Newport and absolutely loved staying at this cottage. We are a family of 6 and had plenty of room to spread out. Loved the location so close to the beach! Trish thought of everything we would need, from kitchen supplies to chairs for the beach. Just a beautiful spot! Highly recommend this cozy spot when visiting the Newport area

We just visited RI last weekend for a wedding and the cottage worked out perfectly! The location is a short walk to the chasm (awesome views) and second beach, as well as minutes from downtown. Parking at second beach is $20 so walking distance is key. The cottage is roomy and the brand new kitchen is awesome. There is no AC but the breeze off the ocean combined with ceiling fans works well. One thing to note is that the one bathroom is on the upstairs level, so anyone having any trouble getting up and down stairs should be aware of that. Bedrooms are decent sizes. I would definitely recommend!!
