The owner was easy to get along with in conversations on the phone before when we had questions. He told us he had a family of 16 each summer and they kept coming back and he gave us tips on parking. We ended up having an extra toddler for 3 nights, so we would have 15 people, instead of our original 14. We met the owner to check in and we let him know about the one extra person to be honest. We felt it would be ok since he said he has a family of 16 stay. He began to yell at me, my daughter, and granddaughter. He said we scammed him, lied to him, and we should go home. He said that he would lose his hospitality license or get fined $100,000. He also said the fire dept checks all rentals for the number of people that are supposed to be there every Monday. We asked if they really do this every Monday (there are hundreds of rentals there so that seemed a bit far fetched that they would do that) and then he said, they come randomly, changing his story. We asked what he did about the family of 16 that comes. He said he never rented to 16 people, but then quickly said "oh, yes, my license is on probation from that". Changing his story again. Then yelled he was leaving and left. My granddaughter was crying when he left from his yelling and calling her a lier, so she found a friend's home to stay at for the nights the extra 2 year old was there. We understand him being frustrated with the change of plans, but he could have addressed this in a much more constructive, respectful, solution focused way, instead of raising his voice and making us feel uncomfortable. We did our own research through the city of Newport and owners of rentals in Newport do not have "hospitality licenses". They have short term lodging permits and this owner's permit is not on probation. We found no mention of the large fine or any fine. The fire dept made no visits to check on how many people were in homes any days we were there. Before we came, he noticed one of the bedroom doors was missing. So a workman had to come in two of our days to install a new door. When he was showing us the house, we noticed a leak from the upstairs kitchen that was dripping water into a downstairs bedroom through the ceiling. The upstairs dishwasher leaked water all under the sink and the overflow shot out water into the sink each time it was run. The water heater made a popping noise. The house was clean as much as it could be but most things were old and need replacing. We enjoyed the location.
