About Barbara Casavant
My husband, Ed, and I finally took the plunge - sold our house north of Boston and are now residents of Middletown, RI, as of August 2013! We've been married 52 years. We have two children, six grandchildren, one great grandson and one dog, a Labradoodle named George. I have a wonderful mother-in-law, who grew up in Newport and loves to spend time with us when she can.
Barbara Casavant purchased this Apartment in 2009
Why Barbara Casavant chose Newport East
We have been vacationing in Newport for many years and decided it was time to purchase our own 'Seaside Escape'! We thoroughly enjoy all that Newport has to offer. Our children and grandchildren enjoy Newport as much as we do, and we know we will have frequent visitors!

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.

Perfect in every way.
It's the complete package, the perfect home away from home.
Cute, safe, clean, and comfortable!
We stayed with Barb and Eddie for a few nights while house-hunting on the island. They were wonderful hosts! It was the perfect spot for my husband, two young kids, and mother. My son (6) loved sleeping on the porch, and my mom said the twin beds were comfortable. There was even a nice deck off the master bedroom! There was a fenced backyard with picnic tables which was nice for the kids. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean and fully stocked, and we felt very much at home. We walked to First Beach with the kids, and there was a playground two blocks away. There were several awesome restaurants within a five-minute drive. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, look no further! Perfect place for families or couples needing to get away!
Charming cottage, great hosts
Loved our stay. The most well equipped place we’ve stayed with ample linen and supplies. The hosts are very sweet and charming. Would highly recommend! Great location
Thank you so much. If you get the opportunity to visit Newport in the future, please let us know. Would love to have you stay with us again!
Pride of ownership standout property!
Our stay was great, and the owners were extremely attentive. They asked several times if there was anything we needed, or if there was anything they might have missed, and there was nothing we needed, and they didn't overlook anything. Our stay was great, our girls loved Georgie! The location of this property is stellar. My wife and I appreciated the care they took in making our stay enjoyable. Thanks so much for the hospitality!!! It was top notch! Gary & Kim Williams from St Peters, Mo.
Wonderful and Relaxing
We had the good fortune of booking Barbara and Ed's home while attending a wedding in Newport. Plenty of space for four adults, and the sleeping porch could have comfortably accommodated another. Their home had everything you could need; the kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, very nice towels and linens, the place was spotless! Barbara and Ed live in the first floor unit, and were very accommodating to our needs, and are right there to give you tips on what to do and where to eat. They also have the cutest dog George who greeted us in the yard each day. The location was great, short drive or walk to beaches, restaurants, shopping, etc. We would love to stay with the again the next time we find ourselves in the area!
enjoyed our stay!
We really enjoyed Barbara's clean and comfy apartment! Everything you could need is provided, the backyard is beautiful and George the dog is a sweetheart! Nice neighborhood and convenient location, an easy walk to the beach or a quick ride into Newport! Highly recommend!
