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.

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.
This property is located in a perfect spot to tour all of Newport and the surrounding areas, it is in walking distance of some of the main attractions and should be a go to stay for those who want to experience Newport.

The property was great and everything that's posted about this property is very accurate. Jackie and her husband were so easy to work with and if I had any issues they would get back to me within 2 minutes. I would tell anyone to rent this place because it has everything you need plus tons of character and charm!! The location was perfect we were 3 minutes from second beach and 5 minutes with traffic to first beach.

So glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage with all you needed for your time in Newport. Hope you come back to stay again!
This house was perfect for our group of 5 people, although it easily sleeps more than that. The house had everything we were looking for and the highlight was the beautiful back deck!

It was our 2nd stay at the Mermaid House and it is just as comfortable as we remembered. The kitchen is so well stocked and easy to cook in, and the porch is perfect for enjoying fall evenings. We will definitely be coming back for more visits!
