The home was provided exactly as detailed, clean, bright and in excellent condition. Location wise, it’s perfect. Walking distance to town and the beaches and a 10 min car ride to downtown Newport.Although there is suffice drive way parking for most vehicles, our full size crew cab pickup truck did take a bit of finesse.We’d happily stay here again

This was a lovely cottage close to most everything that we wanted to do - with our limited time. Lovely sunsets from the deck or even better was a short walk to the beach. We didn’t use the fully equipped kitchen except for AM coffee. We were there for a great niece’s wedding & it was the prefect place for us to relax/sleep between our numerous activities. Thank you for offering this cozy cottage.

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.

Enjoyable holiday weekend

My family loved our stay at the Mermaid Cottage! The proximity to the beach is great. Traffic can be a bit heavy getting in and out of Newport town, especially on a holiday weekend. Lots of room for families, the spacious basement was used as well. Overall I’d recommend the cottage to anyone looking to visit the area.
