Newport Wedding

I came for a weekend with a friend to go to a wedding. We looked at hotels but they were expensive and small. This apartment was really cute, comfortable and roomy! We were each able to have our own room! The apartment was incredibly clean and pleasant. The weather was pretty warm, but with the windows open we didn't need a/c. There's a lovely deck off of one of the bedrooms. There are 2 beaches that are less than a mile away. We walked to Second Beach which was really nice! We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at Barb and Ed’s place. The rental was clean and spacious. The location was fantastic. It was a very quick and easy drive into Newport. There was more than enough room for our family of 5. The space was well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you, Barb and Ed (and George too!) for sharing your wonderful space with our family.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Casavant

Host profile image
Ed and I have been married 60 years. We have two children, six grandchildren, two great grandchildren and one dog, a Labradoodle named George.

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing in Newport for many years and decided it was time to purchase our own 'Seaside Escape'! We retired here and thoroughly enjoy all that Acquidneck Island has to offer - relaxing, exploring, dining out - we could go on and on! Most importantly, we enjoy meeting so many great people, some of whom have become good friends.

What makes this property unique

This sunny vacation rental is close enough to walk, bike or ride to all of the wonderful activities in and around Newport, including both First and Second Beaches. Our location offers an escape from the crowds and tourists at the end of the day. It has a beautiful yard our renters can enjoy for grilling and relaxing and a deck/balcony off the master bedroom.
