We loved our stay at Easton's Point! It is a perfect location, close to beaches and restaurants in the Easton's/Sachuest area. The house is exactly as described and was suitable for our needs as two families staying with small kids. It is well-appointed with great amenities, and our son loved the outdoor shower! The hosts were really responsive and helpful, we highly recommend for your next stay in the area!

Wonderful location, fabulous and responsive hostess. Shannon could not have been more accommodating. Their home is clean, equipped with board games and so close to the cliff walk. Its a hop, skip and a jump from Newport. Cozy home, great location....what more could you ask for? Great stay. Thank you Shannon and Matt.

This was our first time in Newport and we had a wonderful experience. This house is exactly as pictured, clean, beds are comfortable, location is close to beaches and 10 mins to downtown Newport. Perfect house for our needs. Only negative would be it’s a tad difficult to see when backing out of the driveway. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Great location and comfortable home!

We stayed in this home for a long weekend with extended family of all ages for Salve Regina’s graduation weekend. We especially enjoyed the large, open concept kitchen, living room and dining area. We like to cook A LOT, so it was great to have everyone together while we prepared and ate meals. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. For me, it always helps to know what to expect when you arrive. This home is showing signs of being frequently rented. The carpets and upholstery have deep stains that don’t come out, and there is chipping paint in places. If you don’t mind some wear and tear, this house is a great value! Also, the owners were VERY helpful in providing road construction updates and answering our questions.

The most perfect house for your weekend in Newport

I can't say enough about this house! Newport isn't the cheapest place to find accommodations but this house was reasonable for the area, especially considering the location. It's a less than 10 minute Uber ride into downtown, walkable to the Cliff Walk and several fantastic restaurants. The house itself was updated, had a nice large kitchen and was incredibly spacious. I don't think I've ever noticed a lawn at a vacation house but it was beautifully manicured and stuck out to all of us. The only downside was the listing says there are three bathrooms but there is only two. That was fine for us but it should be advertised correctly. Can't wait to come back to this town and stay in this house again - I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you so much for the compliments and great feedback, Sarah! We are so glad you enjoyed, and would look forward to welcoming you back again soon! *especially thank you for calling the issue with the listing showing 3 bathrooms to our attention...VRBO counts the outdoor shower as a "bathroom," which I would find confusing and misleading myself! I'm going to clarify this in the ad/posting to avoid any future issues. Thank you again!*

Great Property!

Let me start by saying that this was our first time in Newport or Rhode Island for that matter. Once we arrived at the property, it was just a matter of figuring out where everything is. This place is a short distance from it all! First, the property has 3 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level along with a bedroom and 3/4 bath on the lower level. The house is clean and there were plenty of towels. Easy UBER to Thames Street where most of the restaurants and shops are. Dunkin Donuts and plenty of other cafe's area a mile away. The Cliff Walk is about .7 miles away as well. Two beaches less than a mile away. Great home for a reasonable price near Newport! Hosts are very accessible and answered all our questions. Thanks for a great vacation!
