Chic Retreat -Spacious 1,932 sf Newport Hideaway for 2- Steps to Dining, Shops
TO ENSURE WE'RE A GREAT FIT PLEASE SUBMIT AN INQUIRY BEFORE SUBMITTING A BOOKING REQUEST.
We love hosting guests who’ll enjoy our space as much as we do. To make sure it’s a perfect fit, please send an inquiry before submitting a booking request.
A few things to know: • Max occupancy: 2 adults (28+), no exceptions • Names & phone numbers required for all guests at booking acceptance • Registered guests only — no visitors, parties, or events • Summer weekends (June 1–Oct 31) require Fri + Sat nights (holiday weekends = 3 nights) • Travel insurance is strongly recommended — our cancellation policy applies to all reservations • I personally speak with each guest after booking to confirm details and answer questions. ⸻
• No third-party bookings. The person making the reservation must be one of the guests staying at the property and present for the entire duration of the stay—no booking on behalf of friends, family, or colleagues.
About the Space
This isn’t your average rental — at nearly 2,000 sq. ft., it’s 3–4 times larger than a typical hotel suite. Located in Newport’s trendy South Broadway (SoBo) district, you’re steps from restaurants, cafés, and bars, with Thames Street, Bellevue Avenue, the harbor, and the ocean just a short walk away.
Inside, you’ll find: • 1 bedroom with king bed • 1 full bath + small half bath (off the bedroom) • Beautiful kitchen • Spacious living area with high ceilings, exposed brick & serious wow factor • Pool table, foosball, and shuffleboard • Central A/C, Wi-Fi, Smart TV (YouTube streaming), and Amazon Echo
⸻
The Good Stuff • Huge, stylish space with unique character • Walk everywhere — no car needed • Surrounded by top dining, bars, and shopping • Live like a local in a vibrant neighborhood
⸻
The “Warts” (because every place has them) • We live upstairs — you may hear us walking (we try to be quiet!) • Urban living = occasional city noise • Half bath is “cozy” (code for small) and only accessible through the bedroom • Only the larger oven works • Fireplace, pellet stove, and jacuzzi tub not working at this time
⸻
House Rules (Non-Negotiable) • Adults only (28+) — no children, infants, or air mattresses • No animals (family allergies) • No smoking anywhere on the property • No hair dye (fees apply for damage/cleaning) • No seafood or strong-odor cooking (keep it fresh for the next guest ) • No unregistered guests • Basement is off-limits • Quiet hours: 10pm–7am — please be mindful of neighbors
⸻
Parking • On-street parking only — follow posted signs • One resident guest parking pass provided (May 1–Oct 1) — must be returned or $250 fee applies
⸻
Other Notes • Cleaning fee covers standard turnover — please leave kitchen appliances clean to avoid extra charges • Outdoor areas & basement have 24-hour security cameras (no indoor living space cameras) • We’re not responsible for third-party outages (electric, water, internet) beyond our control • Décor and furnishings may change without affecting listing accuracy • Owner’s Right of Entry (Internet Issues): If internet service goes out, we may need to briefly enter the unit to restore it. We’ll always notify you when possible, and keep it quick. • With so many amazing restaurants nearby, most guests let the pros do the cooking. Because of that, we no longer stock pantry staples (they went to waste). If you want to whip something up, please bring your own ingredients — and out of kindness to the next guest, avoid “signature scents” that linger past checkout.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
