We are a family of 5, including 3 teens, and this home worked nicely for us. The location made our trip less of a headache as we did not have to constantly search for parking (or deal w/ summer traffic) to enjoy the activities in Newport. We were able to walk to Cliff Walk, the "Cottages" (The Elms is especially close!), and all throughout the downtown/harbor area (shops, restaurants, etc.) easily from this home base. (NOTE: We're talking 1 - 1.5 mile walks to get to some of these places, so give yourself time & bring good walking shoes.) There is also a local harbor park just a few houses away - a great place to watch the sunset! The home itself allowed the kids to stay upstairs in their own space, while giving us parents a little privacy in the comfortable bedroom downstairs. The back yard felt private, including the paver patio that was nice in the afternoon/evening and the outdoor shower that was fun to use. The home also offered some nice amenities, like a washer/dryer & air conditioning, which came in very handy during our hot summer week! (We were also glad not to have to pack sheets, towels, etc. as they were provided by the Owner.) The kitchen was well-equipped, but a little tight for the 5 of us ... we ended up moving chairs into the main living space around the coffee table for any of our on-property meals. The Owner, Kate, was very friendly and responsive from the initial contact/inquiry right down to the check-out/follow-up, and we appreciated that. (She even provided a great list of restaurants to try - and we sure did!) Having this comfortable home in such a great location helped make our Newport trip enjoyable for the whole family ... thank you!
