Wonderful stay!

An idyllic location that was walkable to the beach and cute cafes/ restaurants— and for long walkers like me, I was able to go to the seaport every morning, too! It was wonderful for a group stay and highly recommend.

Wonderful visit to the Mermaid Cottage!

We traveled to Newport for a wedding at Castle Hill and stayed with our three (adult) children at this house. It was exactly as advertised online- a very quaint, clean rental and everything we needed. The property managers were terrific, provided a ton of information and were very responsive. Overall a great stay.

Newport Family Wedding

This was the perfect spot for us. My husband and I, along with our 3 adult children and significant other, had a wonderful weekend. It was so quiet and secluded but convenient to the wedding festivities. It was a nice walk to The Cliff Walk and an easy Ride Share drive to all that Newport had to offer. We spend most of our time on the outdoor deck! Our host was very responsive. We would highly recommend!

Great space for adult children and spouses

Family of 5 in town for a family reunion. I’m Formerly from RI but never stayed in the purgatory rd area. We loved this location and will definitely return to this area over downtown Newport. It’s so convenient and yet a country setting. The house served our needs very well. It was a heat wave during our stay and the ac worked well. Older home but clean and beachy.

Great house just outside Newport

My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) had a wonderful stay in the Mermaid Cottage! This is a very nice, updated house with 3 bedrooms (with a/c!!!) and two nice sized baths. In addition, the basement space is very roomy and comfortable. The host was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. First beach is within walking distance and all the shopping and restaurants of Newport are a quick drive. Very relaxing, easy trip. If you have an oversized SUB, it might not fit in the garage.

Exactly what we needed

We stayed in Newport for the weekend for a wedding and this house was the perfect home base! It is spacious, very clean, and has everything we needed. The beds/pillows are comfortable which is a bonus. The host was super friendly and responsive and laid out all of the information in a clear and concise way so it wasn't confusing. The listing is very clear about the parking situation which is helpful, but it's worth noting that you can only fit smaller cars in the parking spots. One of our guests has a pickup truck and we didn't realize that they wouldn't be able to park at the property given the size of their truck. We would still stay here again though if we ever came back to Newport it was great!

Fantastic Cape Cod cottage! Property was clean, comfortable, and close to Newport attractions. We loved the back deck for meals in the mild weather. Easy access to owners via text for any questions/ issues with prompt response. We would definitely rent here again!
