Beautiful and spacious house with a relaxing view of the harbor from the top floor. The house is well appointed and more spacious than appeared in the photos. It is also in an amazing location that permits walking to the main drag with restaurants, bars and shops easily accessible.

Perfect getaway!

Rented this property for a bachelorette, it was beyond perfect! It was better than the pictures, could not have asked for a more ideal location. There was enough space for all, very relaxing and high end. Gabriel was very communicative and made us feel like this was our home for the weekend. Highly Recommend, gorgeous sunsets! Would love to rent again.

We had a pleasant stay overall—the location is outstanding, offering easy access to local attractions, and the space itself is spacious and inviting. However, we did encounter some issues with the amenities. Several kitchen appliances were either non-functional or felt outdated, making us hesitant to fully utilize the space. Additionally, during a stretch of extreme heat, the air conditioning struggled to keep the home comfortable. While the layout and location are definite highlights, updates to the appliances and climate control would significantly improve the overall experience.

The Location is the Best you can ask for!! We were in Newport for my daughter’s wedding and rented this beautiful house so my entire family could all be together. We were able to walk to everything! House was spotless. Communicating with Gabriel was great. We spent most of our time sitting on the third floor balcony which has such a nice water view and a great breeze. Kitchen table is great for a big family. Air conditioning worked great as it was a very hot weekend. The huge bar on the first floor entrance was such a big hit with our friends who stopped by after the welcome party. It was literally like we had rented our own private bar for the night. Three refrigerators in the house (one on each level). The apartment which is above the bar, was like having another separate unit from the house with extra privacy, but at the same time, still part of the house. Having a bathroom in every bedroom was a big bonus!! Plenty of sitting room in the family room on third floor with kitchen. We were all very comfortable being together on the third floor living space. Parking for four cars (and we had two oversized trucks) which fit fine into the garage along with two other cars. We had such a great time staying here!! Very positive experience! This rental is a 10 out of 10!!

This property is perfect for a larger group. we loved the ease of going to and from town. The view from the third floor is wonderful as is the oversized dining table which was a perfect place to gather as a family. The authentic 1790 pub was an added bonus for sure. We definitely hope to return.

Beautiful and unique home!

The home is spectacular and the location perfect, right in the center of town. The deck overlooking the harbor, the large dining room table and open kitchen, and the historic bar all help make this home a truly unique place to stay. We have stayed twice and had wonderful visits both times. The owners are very responsive and friendly. For a large group, there is no better spot.
