Guests are encouraged to enjoy the large backyard into the evening. We want to extend this 5-star experience to you our guests, as well as our neighbors. One of our core values is to be a good neighbor. This means we have a zero-tolerance policy for late night parties. Middletown’s noise ordinance starts at 10pm each day of the week.

Activities must come inside at 10pm, and windows should be closed if volume will impact our neighbors and their children. Thank you for respecting our island community, and our commitment to be a good neighbor.

A Middletown town ordinance limits guests to 2 adults per bedroom. Additional children are allowed. Our rental is registered with the state, and the town. The town inspects the house annually for safety.
The house is equipped with smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. There is also a flashlight, first aid kit, and fire extinguisher located under the kitchen sink.

No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed in the house. If you wish to smoke, please do so in the backyard at least 20 feet from the doors and windows. Please safely extinguish and throw out your butts in the outside trash.

Edward is a great host and keeps you informed. His house is perfect for a family event or vacation. I loved floating in the heated pool while the guys were golfing. Perfect location close to Newport where our events were held. Edward’s house has a lovely dining room with china and his coffee bar is to die for!! We had a great time, thanks Edward!!

This house was exactly as described and the perfect location. We were able to relax and cook here and were able to use this as home base for trips all around the area. If you’re going to the Navy base, this house is only 5 minutes away. We would stay here again. The hosts even provided great tips on food and activities in the area!

Great family home to gather a large group

This family home had everything you could need to relax. Stocked kitchen, laundry, and 2.5 baths made our stay easy with ten guests. The pool and large backyard was an added bonus. We rented due to the proximity to base. We would return.

Cute, Quaint Stay with A Responsive Owner

Stayed here for President’s Day weekend with family and friends. The 11 of us were very comfortable and appreciated the responsiveness of the owner to answer questions and address our needs. We will definitely return during the warmer months when the pool is open to take advantage of that feature of the property, along with the inviting backyard and lounge area. Thanks

Great stay

Very close to Newport with an in ground pool, good sized backyard and very attentive host. Probably the most well stocked vacation rental I’ve been to(Nespresso!) Two minute drive to Aldi and a six or seven drive to stop and shop as well. Cozy interior with large flat screens in every room as well as fire sticks on each of them. Would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Edward McPherson

Host profile image
I got my short term rental start in San Antonio where I first started using HomeAway to rent out my downtown riverwalk apartment. Along the way I met Claire. Today, Claire and I are living the dream. I do nonprofit fundraising, and she does small business marketing and PR. We split our time spending the winter's in Albuquerque and the summers in Newport, RI. We can't wait to share our amazing town with you, and we believe that it all starts with a great place to stay.

Why they chose this property

Newport has always been the place to be. Why not enhance your visit with a spacious home and a heated salt water pool?
