Have always wanted to stay near the beach, found a long weekend in September to go, and picked this rental. A little big for our family (2 adults, 1 child), but I also needed a place that would fit my car, as I didn't want to do any street parking or parking on a lot far away from the rental.
Overall, this was a pretty nice rental. I thought the beds were comfortable, and they had a ton of towels and linens, which really helped when coming in from the beach. All the decks had great views, although I wish the roof deck and the front deck had better seating. The kitchen had plenty of amenities, and thought the kitchen and appliances were pretty clean. Great location to the beach, just a short walk, like 5 houses away I believe.
Pros to staying here: I have a Toyota Highlander, and we could have probably made it fit in the garage, but the covered parking worked just as well. Closeness to the beach, lots of space, lots of decks and views of the ocean/beach. I thought it was pretty clean. We ended up using the washer and dryer each day that we were at the beach. Beds were comfortable.
Cons to staying here: I think this would be everywhere in Newport, but neighbors are noisy, having parties, etc. We saw a lot of college kids while walking the beach walk, so I think this is common when you're closer to the beach. The couch was pretty uncomfortable to sit on, and would recommend that it gets replaced. Oh, and having to check in at a separate location, Beachview Rental office - all the other rentals we've stayed at we can just straight to the rental. This may have been because of the garage remote and door code, but we've stayed at other places with a garage opener. Anyways, minor inconvenience overall.
Overall, I would recommend staying here, regardless of the noisy college kids :)
