About this property

Winter Discounts incl nearby Wine/Seafood Fest Feb 19-22 @Iconic fun ocean house

The Happy Clam is a large stylish comfortable home with walls of windows, including a two story great room. This makes for wonderful viewing of the water, sky and historic bridge. Inspiring in any kind of weather. The location is ideal:

* sits right on the quiet south jetty with great views from the bay to the ocean - birds and seals are constantly in view as are fishing boats cruising by

* is at the epicenter of fun stuff, all within walking distance - a serene beach, clam beds, biking, pier for crabbing, marina, Rogue Brewery, marine attractions including the fabulous Aquarium and marine science center, restaurants, shops, glass blowing, bike trails and miles of beach.

* is wonderfully comfortable for a great night's sleep, lounging, and fully equipped for fun activities including games, ping pong, pool table, foosball

* close to fun festivals, 5 min. walk to WINE AND SEAFOOD FESTIVAL and others.

5 BEDROOMS TOTAL (including small bunk bed room) with addition of ground floor apartment or:

MAIN HOUSE ( up to 08 guests) can be rented separately at approximately $100 less per night (see vrbo.com/315491) but most groups of 8 or more prefer the entire house to spread out.

The main part of the house is on the second and third level which is also why the views are so good. There we have 3 bedrooms (1-King and 2 Queens) plus a bunk room (small room with bunk beds) and a loft area with a pull-out couch. The bedrooms all have walk-in closets and baths. There are 3 HDTV's and plenty of couches and chairs. The master bedroom has a double walk-in closet, so large a twin mattress can be put in one side for an extra sleeping place.

The dining table seats 8 (10 can work) and the kitchen counter seats 3. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pans, pots, cutlery, spices, flour, sugar.

APARTMENT is included in this option (VRBO 914857) and rates. It is a cheerful space on the first level of the home. It has a bedroom with a queen bed, a bath, a small living room and kitchen plus another HDTV. It's nice to have this space for those that are bit noisier or need more quiet time -- depending on the group.

The Happy Clam is great for smaller families and is also perfect for expanded family get-togethers, retreats, book and other clubs, reunions, birthday or other special days (including surprises) - or just plain getting away from the routine. There is no bad season to hang at the Happy Clam. It's always relaxing and never boring.

Ring doorbells with video exist outside the house for security purposes.

Our group came over for a girl weekend. This home exceeded our expectations! The views from the house were phenomenal with plenty of off street parking. We were within easy walking distance from the beach and pier. Our rooms were clean, and the kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. The host answered all of our questions and made sure that our weekend was exactly what we wanted. I’m looking forward to future family vacations at this location!

This was our second time staying at the Happy Clam and our family once again loved our time there. The host is great and very welcoming, and the house itself is perfect for larger groups like ours. Everything is clean and the house is stocked with everything you’ll need during your trip. Looking forward to our next visit.

What a beautiful place to stay

The house was everything it claims to be plenty of room for large families and more. Tha Owners are amazing and helpful. The home had plenty of things to do games, pool table, ping pong, crab pots and close to much more. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home perfect for our large group

We stayed here with our family (7 of us) and it was perfect. Beautiful views. Enough bedrooms and space to spread out. It’s walking distance to the aquarium which we really enjoyed. This was our first time to Newport and we’ll be back as we didn’t have enough time to explore it thoroughly.
