Lovely property!

The check-in process was super clear and easy!! The property could use some updates and 3 levels of living is intense but I would absolutely stay again because of the hospitality of the hosts and the space afforded!

Location could not be beat & beds very comfortable. Minor housekeeping - didn’t look like master sink was cleaned, baseboards could use a coat of paint - scratched and dirty. No ice and light bulbs out. All in all a great stay.

This place is great - easy access to the beach and restaurants, easy parking, great amenities (washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc.). The only annoyances are:1. It's a little hard to find. Google takes you to the street-front, but you have to come around the side to find the garage2. It's vertical. If you struggle with stairs, it's a bad fit3. The icemaker in the fridge doesn't work. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying. Great spot!

Festive 4th of July Weekend

We had a great experience. Plenty of space. Sometimes when a listing says “sleeps 8”, it is really 5 or 6. Sometimes pictures lie. Not in this case. It was as advertised. We definitely recommend this property.

Newport

Ample room for family of five. Lots of stairs. Inconvenient that there isn’t a bathroom located in the living area. Area is walkable and has plenty of dining options. It’s a little noisy, trash pickup, sirens and loud people coming home from a night out. We enjoy our 5 night stay.
