The property is the second and loft floor of a large 3-floor home. It was not ideal for a family of many young children in that we were always concerned with making too much noise for the permanent neighbors downstairs. They were great sports though (young Navy family similar to us) and overall we were very grateful for the other homey features (toy box in loft, 3 twin beds, functional kitchen with tons of furnishings, wood burning stove, the list goes on and on.) It was a short (cold) walk to the coast (sandy beach with large rocks for kids to explore and climb on) and brief drive from both Easton's beach (tons of shells for kids to collect) and the Cliff Walk starting point. The property's yard barn is well-stocked with summer equipment (bikes, wagons, sporting goods, etc.) but the yard isn't very large for playing games. The next door neighbor saw that we had 4 playful daughters and generously offered the use of his larger back yard. The parking spots fit 2 cars easily. The place easily sleeps 9 with the beds included but there is a couch and plenty of floor space for an air mattress if your party was bigger (although noise would be a concern I would think). There are SO many closets for plenty of storage (but most had at least some of the owner's personal items to keep separate from your own) and dressers for unpacking your suitcases into. Shannon was very involved in ensuring that our family felt 'at home' in our tempory home and the location was very close to the Naval base where I was commuting each day for a 5-week course. Overall it suited us perfectly for the month we stayed and we will consider staying again if ever visiting Newport again. Thanks again for everything Shannon!
